If you mean for free, if you can't find them on youtube, you will usually have better luck with https://www.dailymotion.com/

I'm sure that you already know that you can probably stream most, if not all of them from Amazon streaming services for about $3 each. But I'd try Daily Motion first, as I've had good luck finding older and obscure films at that site.

Wow. Fifteen is a lot of movies. Personally, that would satisfy any RM jones I might have, but good luck. I love Bob Mitchum but I don't think he's THAT good. Maybe Barbara Stanwyck would I like to see more than 15 films from, but I wouldn't go out of my way. Paul Newman, also. Dustin Hoffman? Al Pacino? Leo DiCap? Putting aside their personal appeal, they usually draw quality stories and directors. I guess Clint E would be an easy guy to see 15 films of.

15 out of 100+ isn’t much at all.

[–] snepts (11123) 6 years ago

I agree, but just because someone makes 100 movies doesn't mean they are all good. Or even half good. I like Rob but like I said, someone has to be a real complete-ist to want to see 15+ RM movies. If he's been in over 100, it shouldn't be that hard.

Lol I don’t think there’s any semi big name actor out there that I haven’t seen less than 15 movies from.

Our friend Tom Cruise is ubiquitous, and I've seen a lot of his movies, but I don't know if it's as high as 15. Close, maybe.

[–] Jones70 (6862) 6 years ago

I’ve seen 36 of his movies.

You must keep track of these things.

[–] Jones70 (6862) 6 years ago

Just recently started too.

Also 3 of the ones I counted (Dead Man, Tombstone, Cape Fear remake) he had a very small role in and one (Midway) was part of an ensemble.

reply

[–] snepts (11123) 6 years ago

You're confusing me. We're talking about Robert Mitchum, right? He was in the original Cape Fear with G Peck, not the remake. Or was he? Did he have a small part? Huh, I'll have to check that out. And Tombstone makes me think of the Val Kilmer/Kurt Russell film. Don't tell me Mitch was in that too? I don't know Dead Man, and Midway didn't seem like all that great a movie.

[–] Jones70 (6862) 6 years ago

Did narration in Tombstone, like I said he had a small role in the cape fear remake as Lt. Elgart.

[–] snepts (11123) 6 years ago

Great call. Maybe I knew this at one time, but it sure escaped me now.

Late to the party, but I recall Scorsese gave both Mitchum and Peck roles in the remake, which I think is a nice touch.

reply

[–] snepts (11123) 4 years ago

Yes indeed. Starring roles in bad films may not elevate these guys, but cameos make them look like the Icons they are.

reply

[–] Jones70 (6862) 6 years ago

I wanna see like 50-60 more of his movies, same with Michael Caine and Christopher Lee.

reply

[–] Jones70 (6862) 6 years ago

I had recently found out that I had only seen 19 Sean Connery movies, so I started watching a lot of his movies and have now seen 33 of them. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t seen more of his movies instead of a lot of this junk that comes out nowadays.

reply

[–] snepts (11123) 6 years ago

I'm sure you've seen The Man Who Would Be King. It has a good rating but I rarely hear it brought up. I think I saw it once many years after it was released, and from what I recall, it was a very quality production, a ripping good adventure yarn, one might say.

reply

[–] Jones70 (6862) 6 years ago

seen 19 now lol

reply

[–] Jones70 (6862) 6 years ago

I've seen 25 now and feel like that's getting closer to "a lot".

No, don't pirate movies.

[–] Jones70 (6862) 6 years ago

Most of his stuff is on YouTube, same with a lot of the older actors out there, if you can’t find them at the library, family video, or on any streaming service how are you supposed to watch them?
It’s just not possible for every movie to be available at family video or the library. They have some movies but not ALL of them!

Wherever you find them, you must see "Out Of The Past" - classic film noir at its best!
