oops. for "The Big Sleep" read "The Maltese Falcon"

[widgetfox.livejournal.com]

The Big Sleep is also good.

Apart from that, nothing I've seen here, although one that I've been intending to see since 1990.

Ooooh....Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid! I love that movie...and the bicycle scene always shows me up for the hopeless romantic that I am. But don't tell anyone, 'k?

[rhythmaning.livejournal.com]

You've not seen "Butch Cassidy"? Oh my.

Nor "Get Carter"? (Music by, I think, Francis Monkman...)

And "Diva" is excellent. Actually, for the first time ever, I feel better educated than you!

And there is a great bit in "Subway" where he has to find the right music before he enter the chase... Neat.

I fell for Katherine Ross when I was little, because of that movie...

[unblinkered.livejournal.com]

OK, and now I have "Raindrops keep falling on my head" stuck in my head. Grrrr....

[rparvaaz.livejournal.com]

I really liked Get Carter. And Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is an old favourite [because of my two maternal uncles, I grew up on a steady diet of war movies, westerns, kung fu movies, and spy movies]. I was quite old [17 or so] when I found out that Hollywood made romances too! Legally blonde has its moments too.

Same here...

Diva is the one that I would like to see. But this is not my medium, remember.

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

It is but I think of the Bogey/Bacall flicks I like "To Have and Have Not" best.

[unblinkered.livejournal.com]

Not so sure about Ms Ross, but I wouldn't say no to 1960s Paul Newman. Yum.

the Big sleep was in my first twelve. Whic one has been slipping your mind for a decade and a half?

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

My lips are sealed. It really is the perfect buddy movie too.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Roy Budd, I think - and the theme was covered by the Human League on "Dare" strangely enough.

Diva and Subway were the two great art house movies of my Univerity days (followed swiftly by Betty Blue).

She really was beautiful. William Goldman's recollections of her on set (in "Adventures in the Screen Trade", go buy it) are that she was just as beautiful in the flesh, too.

Is it drowning out the roadworks?

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

It's the conjunction of the actors and the book for me. Weirdly enough, I came to the book first, and didn't see the film for years afterwards. I always saw Marlowe as taller and slower, as Robert Mitchum, I think, and Bogart just redefined the character for me instantly.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

... and me.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Legally blonde always makes me cry. No, really.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

That's why I like Amazon's rental scheme for DVD's - I don't mind renting old movies for less than 2 quid.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

I always felt there was more chemistry between Newman and Redford than between Redford and Ross - but in a manly sort of way.

[unblinkered.livejournal.com]

The road works decided to call it a day about an hour ago. Innocent lives were spared. Thank god.

[rparvaaz.livejournal.com]

Me too

[rhythmaning.livejournal.com]

Also, I am completely wrong about the soundtrack of Get Carter - Monkman did The Long Good Friday, I think. The score for Get Carter is excellent - a lot of double bass - but IMDB doesn't say who wrote it.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Roy Budd - I bought it a few years back and it really is excellent (the odd snippet of dialogue, too).
