The Last non-Monster movie you have watched?

[Monsters For Sale]

Never Take Candy From a Stranger, 1960 - Privileged small town personality is successfully defended against handing out candy to minors outside the confines of Halloween, with tragic consequences.

This is part of the Hammer 20 BLU-Ray set that I bought for $19.99 a short while back.  It was unusual for its time and pretty hard hitting even for today.

Gotta remember the setting here.  This thing came out just one year after "Anatomy of a Murder", in which there is a controversy in court over saying the word "panties" in court.  (I remember seeing it in the theatre at that time.)


Ballsy movie and not at all what I expected from this set.

The music score and the cinematography?

Lol.

Promising Young Woman - What a female revenge flick. Perfect in every way.

Great Cold War era thriller

First Born(1984)

[Monsters For Sale]

Mr. 880, 1950 - A counterfeiter leads Federal agents on a frustrating ten-year pursuit.

Edmund Gwenn, Burt Lancaster, Dorothy McGuire and Millard Mitchell. 

Based on the true story of Emerich Juettner, who was arrested in 1948.  His exploits were written in up New Yorker magazine and subsequently made into this movie.


Edmund Gwenn charmed much of the public as Santa Claus in 1947's "Miracle on 34th Street" and went on after this film to star in the sci-fi classic "Them!" in 1954 and Alfred Hitchcock's "The Trouble With Harry" in 1955, playing essentially the same sweet, somewhat-bumbling character in each.


If you like his schtick, you will like this one.  I do, and did.

Edmund Gwenn charmed much of the public as Santa Claus in 1934's "Miracle on 34th Street"

You mean 1947's "Miracle on 47th Street".

I do like Gwenn and I did enjoy "Mister 880".

The Other Guys(2010)

[Monsters For Sale]

You mean 1947's "Miracle on 47th Street".

I do like Gwenn and I did enjoy "Mister 880". 

A bit of unintentional numerical alliteration there.

[Mord]

American Psycho  - Christian Bale hits it out of the part in this recreation of 80s NY clueless opulence. Funny as it is violent.

[Most Horrible]

"The Cat and the Canary" (1939) and "The Ghost Breakers" (1940) with Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard.

Ten to Midnight(1983)
The Arena(1974)

[Hepcat]

Operation Petticoat (1959) - Trailer



A Universal flick set on the water but with Cary Grant (of all people) and no Creature! I mean what's with that? Pretty silly all in all.

SHOWDOWN AT ABILENE (1956) - A decent western from Universal. Interesting to hear music from films like TARANTULA! and CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON used in this genre.
