STILL AT THE MOVIES and TOSSING IN SERIES | Directory NOPQR |
ROBERT ALTMAN: Nashville | A Perfect Couple | The Player | Popeye | Prairie Home Companion | Quintet | Ready to Wear |
|
The Naked Prey ~ 1965 |
Nevada ~ 1944 | "It is better to live poor than to die rich," says Chito Jose Gonzalez Bustamonte Rafferty played by Richard Martin with Robert Mitchum as Nevada Lacy. |
Night of the Iguana ~ 1949 |
On the Town ~ 1949 |
Ordeal By Innocence ~ 1984 ~ BWINC |
Our Souls at Night ~ 2017 | I would say Fonda and Redford carry the charisma right on through from The Chase (1966, Texas) to Barefoot in the Park (1967, New York City) to The Electric Horseman (1979, Nevada) to Our Souls at Night. The 2017 location is Colorado, but the camping trip takes me back to the Santa Monica foothills in California in 1952 when I was a wonderfully innocent girlchild with nothing in sight but life. |
The Out of Towners ~ 1970 | No hard feelings, wild and crazy guy in 1999, but the 1970 film has Quincy Jones behind Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis who says omg so respectfully, so beseechingly, so perfectly. |
The Pajama Game ~ 1961 |
Pal Joey ~ 1957 ~ BWINC |
Peaky Blinders ~ SERIES ~ 2013 ~ UK | The Bro claims this is a must. In Weeds and Shameless the violence seems real enough, but there's humor. Unless I find humor in Peaky Blinders, I'm moving on. Follow-up: After one and one-quarter episodes sans humor, I'm gone. |
Pennies from Heaven ~ 1981 | | Herbert Ross directs another Singing Detective. The wild and crazy guy, Bernadette, Christopher and cast make musical mayhem with pathos that is damned effective. |
The Perez Family ~ 1995 |
Perils of Pauline ~ 1947 ~ BWINC |
Private Buckaroo ~ 1942 ~ BWINC |
Pulp Fiction ~ 1994 |
Quiz Show ~ 1993 |
Red River ~ 1948 ~ BWINC |
Reservation Dogs ~ SERIES ~ 2023 | The sheer genius of Taika Waititi shines in this wonderful series although indigenous humor may not tickle all of us. Aho-aho. |
Rita ~ SERIES ~ 2012 ~ Denmark |
