Not fantastic but for fairly recent movies they weren't bad. Entertaining enough.

Probably not news, though I'll add Unforgiven (1992) my memory is shallow on worthy films.

That's a cracker! We had a western film fest over the holidays, mostly classics but some more recent.

Here's a couple of the contemporary westerns that stood out...

Old Henry (2021) (imdb.com) Slow West (2015) (imdb.com)

Watch Night of the Hunter for the story and skill of black and white film (1955)

The Boston Strangler (1968) for the beauty of the set design and Tony Curtis actually acting. His crazy is skillful.

They are classics. I've seen both. 'Night of the Hunter' the most recently. Your remarks about each are on point.

Thanks. Costume and set design, especially during the golden age of technicolor can make or break a film.

The 1950's film "Auntie Mame" (full of jewy double entendre) same.

OTOH, I really like the film Slingblade and most people find it boring and stupid.

I like the way you talk

Slingblade has been a favorite of mine since I first saw it about 25yrs ago.

I see now that it is marinated in left wing propaganda. But I can still watch it and appreciate it. It's far from boring or stupid.

Nice. It got me by surprise - I don't remember where I saw it recommended, but let me know what you think.

We enjoyed the movie you recommended.

I could have done without the diversity hires (The 'Magic Negro' and 'Non-binary Hacker Girl') and it was quite predictable but in the times we live in and with this genre it's par for the course.

Overall the premise was good, well executed and the movie was well worth watching.

Cheers
