Hud was terrific
I liked The Birds and i loved The Great Escape (its one of my all time favorites)
Yep, "Hud" is the cream of that particular crop.
Newman & the old man covering old ground once & again. We hear about the beginning when Hud crashed the car with his brother in it. "He was dead in 15 minutes,,,I didn't have a scratch on me.",,,
& we're privy in real time to the end= "My mama loved me, but, she died."
This film is so American it causes the heart to catch,,,hard.
Bill, like a trip hammer, plowin' mercilessly thru the '60's.
Hud was the perfect portrait of a louse...i had a 'Hud' in my family and i cut that asshole off a decade ago at least
Newman was amazing as the slimey charmer
And YES! Im loving Bill's 'favorite movies year by year' threads!
Hey Billy Bud...im not the boss of anyone but keep posting these!
Lots of fun Bill:)
Thank you for expressing that, this has been real fun!
I also have a feeling many of us will have new movies to consider... When I see someone who shares a lot of movies, and then see a few I haven't seen, it will give me (and others) better direction.
Exactly Amigo!
Thats why your threads are awesome...plenty to chat about and some leads on new movies to watch
Brilliant posts Dude...keep them up
It's the last supremo appearance for the De Wilde kid there. He meandered a while longer, but, it was without notation.
Waste.
I was JUST perusing the Shallow Hal board and started laughing til i nearly choked at your recent comment theređ
I dont know why but that killed me!
Yeah, De Wilde boy was in Shane
What became of him?
I hope not the usual Hollywood kid stuff...
Oh jeez...carwreck, age 30 in Denver
Thats awful
@Shogie
Brandon deWilde was also in âWagon Trainâ and âThe Virginianâ. I was definitely impressed with him and followed his career. He tragically died way too young similar to other young stars. Besides âShaneâ he gave a memorable performance in âBlue Denimâ with Carol Lynley. I believe TCM has the movie in its vaults.
Yeah the kid was really good the few times i saw him
Pretty lousy way...
Thanks
The Birds
Lord of the Flies
Lord of the Flies is impressive in how successfully disturbing and depressive it was, if you're into that kind of thing.
Whoops, Cat Ballou, The Agony and the Ecstasy, and Doctor Zhivago were from 1965, not 1963. My bad.
The Haunting (best suspense/thriller film ever, as far as I'm concerned), and Cleopatra (despite it being panned back in the day -- the acting was great).
One of the funniest, zaniest movies ever: âItâs A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Worldâ
I have to mention my least favorite movie (in fact despised), which has stayed with me for 55 damn years:
âBlood Feastâ! I saw it at the drive-in movie in Clermont, Florida in 1963. I wasnât able to sleep peacefully for nights after viewing that piece of trash horror! Being pregnant didnât help in the hot, humid summer of â63! The following excerpt is from Wikipedia:
âBlood Feast is a 1963 American splatter film directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis. It concerns a psychopathic food caterer who kills women so that he can include their body parts in his meals and perform sacrifices to his "Egyptian goddess" Ishtar. It is considered the first splatter film, and is notable for its groundbreaking depictions of on-screen gore. It was highly successful, grossing $4 millionâ
the sadist - truly great, very tough no budget b-movie. one of my favourite trash classics.

i watched 'the leopard' for the first time last year, and i ... really struggled with it. found the first 2 hours or so a true grind to get through. it did pick up towards the end for me, but i can't say i had a lot of fund watching it.
Wow, same with me... Visconti moves slow at times, but like you said, as it went on, it picked up, and by the end, it had come full circle.
