I know that film. "It's a mad, mad, mad world" if I'm not mistaken. Good film.

Yup you got it. That and 'Stage Door Canteen' (1943) are the two with
the biggest cast of stars that I can think of and as a point of trivia,
Ethel Merman is in both of them, come to think of it, so is William Demarest.

"The Iron Claw"

But I was really drunk so I only remember the first half.
Have to watch it again.
I'm a big wrestling fan and am very aware of the tragedies that befell the Von Erichs.

Funnier than I expected; I had assumed it was a crime drama for some reason.

The Iron Curtain (1948)

"The story of Soviet cypher-clerk Igor Gouzenko who was posted to the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa, Canada
in 1943 and defected in 1945 to reveal the extent of Soviet espionage activities directed against Canada."

Confess, Fletch 2022. Rubbish.

The Caine Mutiny

 

[okidoke]

Spider (2002) A disturbed man with schizophrenia, slips back into his childhood where he believes his father has brutally murdered his mother and replaced her with a prostitute.

 

[reynard_muldrake]

I can't comment on the film's accuracy, but I was intrigued by the subject matter.

The Shell Seekers (1989) I read the book (by Rosamunde Pilcher) a little while ago and really enjoyed it. I only just discovered there's a film (two actually, another adaptation done in 2006) and watched it last night. It was okay if you're looking for a pleasant story of a lady's life.

Films like this, apocalyptic disaster films, which are totally ridiculous I know, (even tho this one is comedic in nature) make me wonder why the hell News programs keeping on broadcasting. Like, why the heck, unless there was nothing left in their life, would any tv host or presenter hang around their job in the last days of Earth? People still attending gyms, taking courses, etc, when it's all meaningless. Or are they just living in major denial?

 

[reynard_muldrake]

Tonally, it's a cross between Scooby Doo and the Evil Dead series. I went to a screening of this film the other day and hearing some of the reactions interested me. Some loved it, while one person sitting behind me said it was the worst thing they had ever seen.

The Vampire Doll (1970)

"Keiko and her friend are trying to find her missing brother after he disappeared visiting his girlfriend Yuko." IMDB

(l to r) Akira Nakao, Kayo Matsuo, Kaku Takashina and Yôko Minakaze

American Ultra (2015) on Netflix.

Sirocco 1951 (link to film at archive.org)

 

[reynard_muldrake]

I think the subject matter is very important, but this felt haphazardly edited. I would've liked to see the participants discuss their lives *after* leaving the camps.

 

[WanderingInTheWoods]

The movie was pretty good! I rate it 8/10

Valley Girl 1983. First time I've watched it since it came out. I remembered being enamoured with Deborah Foreman and Lee Purcell.
