"Final Portrait"

 

[sestoppelman]

Maybe its a better movie than the trailer seems to show, that happens. Rush is a fine actor, but for me at least I have zero knowledge of the subject matter.
Years ago I remember seeing a trailer to 'The Year of Living Dangerously' and thought, geez, that looks awful!
Turned into one of my favorite movies. Ya just never know.

I really love film & they don't make em like they used to. However, I find this one intriguing from an artistic pov. It's not comical, but I can't help but laugh at the eccentricity of the artist.

James Dean in "Giant" & that Blue Hair, good grief TCM

The most cringeworthy part of that movie is watching a basement full of booze get shattered.

Oh and the Texas flag is upside down in one scene too.

"The Iron Lady" .. Margret Thatcher.
Great Clip:

"Sometimes a Great Notion" .. based a Ken Kesey's Novel .. My Favorite Movie!
Here's the whole movie

Has anyone seen this?

I seen it in the theatre when it was first released, and a few times since. I thot Henry Fonda's cranky old tough as nails bastard was perfect. I liked One Flew Over the Cuckoo's as well, but i think Some Times a Great Notion adapted better as a movie.

Has anyone seen this?

I watched it many times with my oldest brother. He was a timber faller here in Oregon and naturally loved anything to do with logging. The arm tied onto the boat flipping the bird is still one of my favorite scenes from any movie.

A very good and interesting Maclean movie . Also a good selection of actors there.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest .. Another classic, Ken Kesey based novel.
.. To see Sometimes a Great Notion in the Theater would've been even better.

Thanks to the above .. Idk of one individual who's ever even seen this movie. It's always been a great inspiration to me, to keep going & stand your ground.

Yes, the opening scene of the boy's chasing the union rep down the dock and Henry Fonda yelling to release the hounds was classic. Then tossing dynamite at the poor guy as he tried to get away in the skiff. Kesey may have been a hippie, but he could write.

I really enjoyed this one. It’s an interesting story

Another good one

Agreed! Have a copy- watched several times. Fairly low budget film but good story, good writing and good acting.

Hard for me to predict what I may or may not like. All I know is that the late Glen Campbell couldn’t act, neither can Willie Nelson. I also pay little attention to critics.

Just thought of one I haven’t seen in a while- Seven Years In Tibet with Brad Pitt. Not a Brad Pitt fan but I did like the movie. One of my favorites remains Robin Hood with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett.

 

[Firebird]

That’s my favorite Robin Hood version. Just watched “The Windwalker” with my kids, they had never seen it-great older movie, I remember seeing it in the theater with my dad when I was a kid

Have an original 2x3 foot movie poster of Harry Black and the Tiger. Going in my Stewart Granger room.
