Birdy was one of my fav lesser known Nicholas Cage movies.  Valley Girl is pretty bad ass but not lesser known.

Love that movie, watch it whenever I come across it...  "her pussy gets so wet you won't believe it..." 

Are Rio Bravo and El Dorado the same movie? John Wayne is the lead in both. Howard Hawks directed both. Alcoholic sheriff in his over head in both films.

Special thanks to Robert Mitchum for making men’s suede boots cool. Pulling them off you son of a bitch. Rest In Peace.

Terrific movie.

Pretty much.

I’d give Rio Bravo the edge. Prime Angie Dickinson. Dean Martin sings. Stumpy. John Wayne saying “Colorado”.

I also give the edge to Rio Bravo, one of my favorite westerns.  Dean Martin was totally believable as the drunk cop.  El Dorado is good too with a better score, it's more of a hootenanny comedy.

Not an easy call, but I can't say I disagree.  I prefer Mitchum over Martin as the washed-up sheriff, but give me Angie Dickinson in the "female role."  And, as you note, Rio Bravo has Walter Brennan, who although he apparently was a miserable prick in real life, was a great character actor.  

Rio Lobo finishes in third, but is another worthwhile movie in the same vein. 

 

Tonight's edition of The Last Drive In With Joe Bob Briggs consisted of a double feature of Dead Heat, a buddy cop/zombie movie starring Joe Piscopo and Treat Williams, and the life affirming Italian film Cannibal Holocaust.

Birdy is great.  One of the best endings ever.

Agreed, and Rick Nelson had some good songs in that one

What that guy said.

Downtown Abbey - f the haters, michelle dockery needs to be spanked 

Blinded by the Light (2019)

Well meaning, and they let the Boss songs go on forever, but pretty light fare.

I'm just kind of crotchety old fucker, and I think unless a music movie absolutely jibes with my own view of the music, it's just not going to work.

 

We watched City Slickers last night. That movie takes on a different meaning when you’re in your late 40s compared to seeing it as a teenager.  It’s a lot more relatable. Still funny. And I had no idea the son was played by Jake Gyllenhaal.

The Vast of Night on Prime. Well worth the 90 minutes. I hope the streaming channels keep pumping out these low budget indie films. This couldn't have cost $5M to make.

Back to School. I know a lot of people of certain age love this movie. *Hot take to follow*: 

Rodney Dangerfield is great of course, but he’s one of the few bright spots. I realize it’s an important film as it inspired classics like Old School, but the son isn’t likeable and the female lead just didn’t do it for me. The hot water tub scene snorkeling scene was pretty funny. “Say he’ll to my nieces”.

Should have gone for a hard R rating and increased the debauchery.

It is. And it's fucking dark.

I rewatched Lords of Dogtown and somehow liked it a lot better than the first time I watched it when it first came out.

Highlight of the film was Heath Ledger, I forgot how great he was at acting.

Revisited Carnival of Souls on HBOMax.  The acting is hammy as hell and I have no idea why it works but it does.

Aloha

What the hell happened to Cameron Crowe? This movie was awful. The scenery was nice though.

Just showed up on Amazon Prime. Revisionist history but great fun. Richard Mulligan from Soap as a demented Custer is great.

One of my favorite movies. Chief Dan George is incredible in it.

Speed-Meh.

If you drink a few beers to take the edge off it’s not bad.

But that little wildcat sure was cute. 

Vast of Night on Prime.

Set in the 1950s New Mexico (filmed in Whitney and Hillsboro) sci-fi, Twilight Zone, aliens film.

Wonderful cinematography, good dialogue, and acting.  Just an overall unique feel and vibe

Eerier than scary.

Would recommend.

Say Anything, Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous and then drove a Segway over a cliff to his death. Replaced by a clone but unfortunately the DNA sample it was derived from contained pee, dirt and possibly rat droppings.

That’s the most rational explanation I can come up with 

Just fired up Big Lights, Big City. Michael J. Fox, Phoebe Cates, and Kiefer Sutherland. I think movies about the 80's are better than movies from the 80's, 

Edit: I bailed. Sexy Beast is a much better choice. Mr. French's second best movie. Maybe Ben Kingsley's best role.

Tetsuo: The Iron Man.  If David Lynch and David Cronenberg had a Japanese baby who grew up to be a filmmaker this would be the movie that baby made.
