Still Catching up
June? I'm just now getting to my June movies?
Okay this order is all over the place. From Lawrence Olivier and Vivien Leigh to the films of Halle Berry. I was filling a lot of holes with this order.
The Movies
American Psycho Great cast. Christian Bale, William Dafoe, and Reese Whitherspoon, but lousy reviews.
Blow Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, and Paul Reubens rags to riches to prison true story of a cocaine dealer.
Boys from Brazil Lawrence Olivier and Gregory Peck in a movie with Nazis and cloning. Silly plot but Sir Larry is great.
Bunny Lake is Missing This British mystery-suspense thriller is a near classic which stars Lawrence Olivier and Carol Lynley and was directed by Otto Preminger.
Children of Men Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, and Michael Caine in the nightmarish near future tale from a novel by PD James.
Cop Land I think this is Sylvester Stallone's best movie. Of course it also has Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, Robert Di Niro and a host of other actors you will recognize.
Croupier Clive Owen is a writer working as a Croupier in a London Casino. Tough smart script with nice plot twists.
Die Another Day Pierce Brosnan is Bond, Halle Berry and Rosamund Pike are the Bond Girls.
Executive Decision Kurt Russell, Halle Berry, and Steven Segal. Made back when Hollywood thought it was okay to kill Arab Terrorists.
George of the Jungle Probably more of a kids movie but there are some pretty good gags in it. Brendon Frazier.
Hoax Based on the true story of Clifford Irving faking the biography of Howard Hughs with Richard Gere and Alfred Molina.
Hoffa Jack Nicholson is Jimmy Hoffa and Danny Devito is his sidekick. Directed by Danny Devito.
Iceman Timothy Hutton, Lindsay Crouse, and John Lone. A frozen Neanderthal is found and brought back to life. Odd premise but the critics liked it.
Jungle Book The old one with Sabu, Directed by Zoltan Korda and the music of Miklos Rozsa. I think I bought it just for all the cool names.
Last Tycoon A movie about the movies with Robert De Niro, Tony Curtis, Robert Mitchum, Jeanne Moreau, Jack Nicholson, Ray Millan, Dana Andrews, Theresa Russell, and Directed by Elia Kazan. Oh it was based on an uncompleted novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Monster's Ball Halle Berry's Oscar winner.
Othello Lawrence Olivier.
Pawnbroker The raw drama of a concentration camp survivor unable to feel again. Rod Steiger directed by Sydney Lumet and Music by Quincy Jones.
Private Life of Henry VIII Charles Laughton, Elsa Lanchester, Charles Donat, and Merle Oberon in a British Classic directed by Alexander Korda. Charles Laughton won Best Actor for this one.
Quiet American The earlier 'Hollywood' version of the Graham Green novel with Audy Murphy.
Ragtime An all star cast including Jimmy Cagney's last performance based on e L Doctorow's novel of 1906.
Rescue Dawn Christian Bale Escapes from a Viet Namese prison camp.
Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone Vivien Leigh is an aging actress in Rome Warren Beatty is the Gigolo.
Ship of Fools Grand Hotel at sea. Vivien Leigh, Lee Marvin, and Jose Ferrer. A don't miss classic.
Swordfish A thriller/action adventure with John Travolta, Hugh Jackman, and Halle Berry.
Taps Timothy Hutton Tom Cruise, Sean Pen, Ronny Cox, and George C. Scott. The boys in a military academy cadets go a little wild.
Thief of Baghdad Classic pre-CGI special effects movie based on the Arabian Nights.
U 571 Mathew Mcconaughey Harvey Keitel and Bill Paxton capture a German sub in WWII.
