a movie you knocked off your watchlist
Pork Chop Hill (1959) - a good Korean War movie even though some of the actors were too old.

Le Samouraï
Didn't love it.
Funny, I just saw it for the first time a few weeks back after waiting years to stumble across it streaming
I really liked it, Alain Delon was just so cool in that trench coat and with hardly any dialogue. The Lady piano player, Cathy Rosier was so cute and sexy…man, those eyes!
It took me a few days to sort out the ending but it makes sense now, the hired killer lived by a code
I first heard about Le Samourai while reading up on another great thriller called Drive (2011)
Roger Ebert compared the two antiheroes as being very similar characters and now I know what he meant
i know a lot of people really love it. that's an interesting comparison to drive, actually - i can really see that.
i just feel like i bounced off the entire film. the whole time, i felt myself thinking 'i'd rather be watching a 40s/50s noir right now.'
but i did watch le doulos, another melville crime/caper movie right after that, & i liked it a lot more. have you ever seen that one?
I just looked it up on IMDb, it’s sounds right up my alley
I’ll be on the lookout for it, thanks!

Hoop Dreams
Lived up to expectations. I live in Chicago, so it had a particular resonance. Cabrini Green is no longer, but the problems remain.
The history of this ground-breaking documentary is something for filmistas to be aware of :
