Who watched OUT OF THE PAST (1947) the other night? Thoughts? 🎥

R.I.P. Penelope Keith

THE 300 SPARTANS (1962) A fairly cliché’d sword-and-sandal re-telling of the Battle of Thermopylae (480 BCE) and the triumphant death of King Leonidas I of Sparta. Two major pluses: 1) It has Sir Ralph Richardson playing Themistocles of Athens. And: 2) It wasn’t directed by Zack Snyder.🎥

Who watched THE STING (1973) the other night? Thoughts? 🎥

Tonight on TCM #TCM THE IRON MASK (1929) Douglas Fairbanks Sr.'s last silent film. A fitting farewell to the whole period of silent cinema and also a great movie in its own right. Half joyful, half melancholy, all delightful!🎥

THE TOWERING INFERNO (1974) I was sixteen when I first saw The Towering Inferno during its original release, and I was enormously entertained. Even then, though, I understood that it was pure Hollywood spectacle.🎥

SUPPORTING ACTOR SUNDAY #supportingactorsunday HAROLD J. STONE (1913-2005) One of those dependable character actors who could convey intelligence, toughness, and quiet authority. What do you remember him from?🎥

We're almost half-way through this year...

ILM FREAK FRIDAY #FilmFreakFriday DISCLOSURE DAY (2026) Ever since I saw DUEL (1971) at age 13, Steven Spielberg and his films have been an important part of my life. I found the film engrossing and his most suspenseful chase film since SUGARLAND EXPRESS🎥

Who has seen BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1945) recently? Thoughts? 🎥

Tonight on TCM #TCM OUT OF THE PAST (1947) The quintessential film noir. Essential viewing.🎥

Who watched THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN (1971) last night? Thoughts? 🎥

THEATER THURSDAY #theaterthursday BUS STOP by William Inge Premiered on Broadway in 1955 in a memorable production directed by Harold Clurman. The outstanding cast included Kim Stanley as Cherie, Albert Salmi as Bo, Elaine Stritch as Grace, and Anthony Ross as Dr. Lyman.

It's nice that Jackie Gleason is featured in a current blockbuster movie. 🎥

Who watched SONG OF FREEDOM (1936) the other night? Thoughts?🎥

Tonight on TCM #TCM THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN (1971) Remember when science was good? This one of the best, most realistic science-fiction films of the 70s. Based on the novel by Michael Crichton and directed by the great Robert Wise. Well worth watching.🎥

Donald Pleasence narrating this haunting public service annoucement... www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNPM...

DONALD PLEASENCE (1919-1995) One of the great character actors of his generation, capable of bringing intelligence, eccentricity, menace, or quiet humanity to almost any role. What films do you remember his from?🎥

Happy Father's Day to the man on the right!

Tonight on TCM #TCM DOWNHILL (1927) A rare showing of this silent Alfred Hitchcock film. Not a thriller, but it still shows Hitch's love of cinema and his inventive visual storytelling. Starring Ivor Novello from play DOWN HILL which he wrote with Constance Collier. Well worth watching.🎥
