This rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow legit has me on the verge of tears.

A 1976 Television adaptation of the book of the same name. The first time it was adapted was back in 1940 under the title Manhunt, Fritz Lang directed and Walter Pidgeon played the lead. The story is about an Englishman on Holiday, hunting in Germany. He is caught near Hitler's mountain retreat by SS men and they accuse him of attempting to assassinate the mustache man. After a botched attempt at killing the English hunter, he starts a long journey as a fugitive from justice.

I don't think this 70s film reaches the high of the 1940 movie but it is a good watch. Peter O'Toole pulls off a good performance and he cited this film and role as one of his favorites because the subject, England during the war years, as one that was very personal for him. Alistair Sim plays his Uncle here in what would be his final performance, he literally got out of his death bed just to work with Peter! The story execution is overall tight and the subject is of course exciting. The evil Gestapo men just missing Peter is fun to watch, a light entertainment definitely worth recommending.

This was a great movie, Peter Sellers is a Gardner, he has learning difficulties and becomes homeless, he ends up being befriended by a millionaire who has no knowledge of Sellers and thinks him to be quirky but hyper intelligent, introduces him to the USA President who also falls for his charm. Sellers is talking about gardening as its all he really knows, the two men think he is talking much deeper. Movie nominated for two Oscars but got pipped at the post. Probably Sellers finest role.

An Italian feature from Rino di Silvestro, the film follows Daniela who channels her inner lycanthropy to kill. Sleazy, erotic and with some good kills, the movie is a fine grindhouse flick despite having no real werewolf past the 1st few minutes of the feature. 6.5/10 for violent kills, nudity and 70s sleaze. Only reservation is I really didn't care for any of the characters, which [shrug] I can live with

Just watched it last night. I'd say this is one of those movies that has a slow build up in the beginning, but it gets crazier in the middle to the final act. I love the tandem between Martin Sheen as Kit and Sissy Spacek as Holly. They look young, and good together in this film. And the chemistry is there with their respective performances. Another really good aspect here is the cinematography. This movie looks gorgeous especially when played on Blu-Ray! I love that scene where the camera focus a wide shot of the town while both of them walking towards. the street. And the jungle scenes, looks beautiful. Would love to see this on a 4k restoration and from what I've heard, there's none at the moment which is a bummer.

The story is fictional, but it was inspired by the real events happened in the late 50's. The girl Holly, she's more like a simply deeply naive, emotionally detached, and a product of her environment. And the guy Kit, he's this profoundly detached, narcissistic sociopath who commits murders casually and without remorse. He is motivated primarily by a superficial desire for fame, a fixation on looking "cool" like James Dean, and a delusional sense of self-importance. And they were 10 years apart while in this relationship. Not a fan of the subject but I thought this movie is well constructed with brilliant character development.

This is one of the few early crime films directed by Terrence Malick who is best known from the later films like "The Tree of Life" and "The Thin Red Line". He also directed Days of Heaven 1978, one of my favorite movies. It took him 20 years to direct another movie (not sure what's the reason) but I thought this guy can make more really good crime, thriller movies probably in the 80's. Reason why he's so underrated.

As far as this movie, If you're a fan of the genre? Then watch it, and grab the Blu-ray copy. A must see, a must have.

Three Men in a Boat follows three friends who, believing themselves overworked, embark on a boating holiday up the Thames seeking fresh air and relaxation, only to face a series of comic mishaps. Adapted by Tom Stoppard and directed by Stephen Frears, it stars Tim Curry, Michael Palin, and Stephen Moore, blending faithful period detail with wry, often Python-like humor. Praised for its charm and scenic river visuals, it holds a 6.9/10 IMDb score and offers an amusing, gently satirical slice of Victorian leisure.

Stephen Frears

A disaster movie about a couple struggling to survive during an intense heatwave. Even what seemed to be a simple plan just to find some relief from the heat in the mountains ends up being a terrible ordeal. Their car is stolen at one point, they end up traveling mostly on foot. On top of all this, the wife is pregnant and when her child is born, it may not survive for long.

This was so much more palatable than many of the disaster movies of the era. The problem with many of them is that they were overloaded with too many characters, mostly stars looking for a paycheck, and they all had some kind of soap opera drama going on that was rarely engaging. Irwin Allen pioneered this formula and it worked the first couple of times but then he kept repeating it and the films just became groan inducing. With TV Movies, you usually have about 80 minutes and not much money to afford recognizable names. That means these productions were forced to concentrate on the story instead of wasting time with a lot of soap opera gimmicks. Not all of them were good but I think Heatwave, Short Walk to Daylight, and Runaway were better than many of those bloated Hollywood, disaster flicks. So, definitely worth a watch.

The opening to the 1973 film, Dillinger. Love the ironic use of "We're in the Money" playing while the title shows photos of sheer misery.

Great adaptation. Lots of people love the end and the surprise twists, I do as well but I also like the start, slow burn, general feeling of weirdness and then suddenly it starts to feel real.
