The Last non-Monster movie you have watched?

[Mike Scott]

But it had us saying "But that doesn't make sense!"

Do you have a couple examples?

All Quiet on the Western Front(1930)

[Hepcat]

Do you have a couple examples?

First two early in the movie:

1. Cary Grant shows his ID to the police officer who's pulled over Ingrid Bergman for speeding and drunk driving. Cary Grant shows his ID to the officer and the officer salutes Grant. This implies that Cary Grant was a superior officer in the patrolman's own force which would be local since the patrolman was on road duty.

Yet Cary Grant is then sent overseas to Brazil to gather information on the activities of a cabal of Nazi officers. This implies that he was working for the Strategic Services Unit which soon became the CIA. A Strategic Services Unit officer would keep his identity a secret and certainly wouldn't be flashing his ID to a police officer. And of course the local police officer wouldn't be impressed/intimidated by an officer of an agency with no authority in his jurisdiction anyway and would bust Bergman's ass all the harder.

2. Cary Grant then shows up at a grand cocktail party hosted by the Nazi officers. But Claude Rains had already seen him in the company of Ingrid Bergman! Talk about being suspiciously close to Bergman! Worse yet Grant arrives stag which looks all the more suspicious. Surely the SSU would have had its own complement of "hostesses" in Brazil one of whom would have accompanied some other male agent to crash the Nazi party.

Carelessness galore on the part of the SSU continues throughout. Grant and Bergman are very indiscreet in their meetings, Grant's tradecraft is clumsy, terrible all over.

Why do you assume that the ID CG showed the cop was a real ID? It only had to be one that would impress a cop enough to let them go.

It was revealed that CG and IB knew each other. Nothing suspicious about that.

What's suspicious about going to a party stag?

Grant and Bergman are very indiscreet in their meetings

And Rains is rightly suspicious of them.  Nobody's perfect!

Okay, fair enough.

There's nothing wrong with going to a party stag, but Grant being accompanied by a hot number would not have fanned the flames of Rains' suspicions/concerns about the relationship between Grant and Bergman. Going stag was sloppy tradecraft by the SSU. Surely the SSU would have had access to dozens of women in Rio who could have played the part, whether employees or simply high class call girls upon whom the SSU would call occasionally.

In fact if the SSU wanted Grant to be the point investigator inside Rains' mansion, Bergman should previously have been accompanied by a different SSU officer at the riding stables.

National Lampoon's Going the Distance (2004) - Clip

Not the best of the National Lampoon movies but still pretty good.

Cheech & Chong's The Corsican Brothers (1984) - Trailer



Lousy. Not nearly as good as the movies where Cheech and Chong play brain-dead stoners.

Watch "Start The Revolution Without Me" instead!

Bonnie & Clyde - Just bought a used Bluray and and loved watching it for the first time in decades. Fantastic film!

I agree Mord. Great movie. I have to get this on blue-ray too. One of my favorite pre-Godfather gangster films. And Faye Dunaway was smoking hot as Bonnie.

[marsattacks666]

Definitely a fantastic film.

Putney Swope (1969) - Trailer



Critically lauded by the artsy film crowd because it makes some sort of statement about the advertising industry and consumer culture in America as well as the cultural divide between whites and blacks. Well the only statement in which I'm interested when it comes to movies is "This flick will captivate you!" Well Putney Swope certainly doesn't make that statement. In fact it was so disjointed and just plain lousy that the only reason I endured it to the end was so I could say I gave it a fair chance before dismissing it as a complete waste of time.
