What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

Caught 'The Last Boy Scout(1991)' with Bruce Willis, Damon Wayans and Prime Halle Berry. Pretty good. 7 or 8 out of 10 in my book.

also saw Absolute Power (1997) with Clint Eastwood and Gene Hackman. Another solid 90's flick somewhere in that 7 or 8 out of 10 range.

Watching Nighthawks (1981) with Stallone, Billy Dee and Rutger Hauer now.

Last Boy Scout is great. Also, I had my first real kiss while watching that movie.

Going thru some David Lynch stuff. Caught a replay of Dune, and Blue Velvet. It's unpopular but my favorite film of his is still definitely Mulholland Drive.

For all the flaws in Dune, and there's many, there is a Lynch-esque aura about it.. It's kinda ******* crazy.

I don't think Mulholland Drive is considered unpopular at all by those who are familiar with his work. Many people list it at or near the top and love singing the praises of Naomi Watts in particular.

Almost every Lynch fan I know puts Mulholland Drive at the top of their list; it's probably my favorite of his too.

Touch of Evil (1958) is still reeally damn good. The studio slash and burned most of Welles vision of the movie and reduced its run time by almost half. The scene at the end with all the mirrors is awesome. the very opening scene u have this long running camera shot thats AWESOME.

Btw, I hope you are actually watching these movies cuz they are great. To clarify, I think the mirror scene you are talking about is from Lady from Shanghai. The ending of Touch of Evil takes place at a boardwalk/pier area when Orson Welles character gets shot. That mirror scene is fantastic tho in the Lady from Shanghai.

Wtf, dude. Are you ****ing stalking me or some ****? I literally just watched it Monday morning. It was okay. 70's movies can be so bad. And yes, I know many great ones. But in general, the acting was just so bad. And some of the writing as well. But a solid horror flick nonetheless.

Yeah I mixed them up. Watched them back to back.

Lady of from Shanghai is awesome. I like Rita Hayworth as a redhead tho.

Yeah I can't recommend such a thing it had some potential a decent start but it spiraled into a world of **** and never recovered. acting and writing was brutal.

Mulholland Drive is the purest demonstration of what Lynch does. There's an element to that movie where it's like no stone has been left unturned. Mulholland Drive is something that will lead you into some foggy areas and dead ends when trying to tie together whats going on, and really the way its done is quite masterful. It's a hell of a movie.

Even the way some of the slowly dragging camera shots are done behind the diner, that is actually great framing for a horror shot..
