OH how do you keep up with so many films. I haven't even seen that many current films (lol).
ReplyDeleteI love watching movies. One of the reasons I started blogging was to try to keep up with books and movies. It's working so far ;)
DeleteI've seen a few of these films myself but never thought of them as Film Noir-except maybe Cape Fear. But actually I haven't seen most of them, as usual. However, I used to watch tons of old movies s a teenager when we had about 3 tv channels and there wasn't cable so I so lots of oldies. It was a good way to past a dull Sunday or saturday afternoon. Speaking of weekends-hope yours is a good one.Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI remember watching the old movies on tv when I was young :) Fond memories. Good weekend so far with not much going on. Calm and peaceful and plenty of sunshine :)
DeleteYou are such a film expert! Fabulous! oxo Susi
ReplyDeleteNo expert lol, but I do enjoy watching them :)
DeleteYou are so good at keeping your film lists up to date 😁. I've only seen a few of these including Cape Fear, I also seem to remember a remake of this film with Robert De Niro too. It had such a great storyline like many of the old films ...anyhow, I hope you are enjoying the sunshine and have a lovely weekend! J 😊
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the remake. When the original holds up well I don't understand why they remake the older films. And I love Robert Mitchum :) It's sunny today, yayeeee!
DeleteApparently, I'm not the film buff you are, because only a few of these movie titles sound familiar.
ReplyDeleteI love movies! There are so many of them, but I admit a lot of them are forgettable.
DeleteI think I have seen almost every one of these from the 40s and half the ones from the 50s (and both Cape Fears). Mostly because I watched every matinee movie they played in the afternoons and all the evening oldies, too, when I was a kid in Minneapolis. They were all in black and white--probably cheaper for the station to buy the rights to show them.
ReplyDeleteI remember sneaking into the basement to watch Two Women with Sophia Loren when I was maybe thirteen. They were playing it late at night after prime time, had warnings not to let children watch it (a real rarity--which got so much flack I don't think they repeated their dip into R rated movies!), my folks forbade it, so of course I snuck quietly downstairs and watched it...sitting in front of the big old B&W console TV with the sound turned really low...so close it was like being at a movie theater. Have you ever seen that movie?
I LOVED movies..and TV in general. Still do. :) :)
Gotta love those old b&w movies! All movies, really ;)
DeleteI hadn't heard of that Sophia Loren film, but reading the plot summary on Wikipedia tells me why they warned against letting children see it. War leaves few innocents in its wake :(
