. The Royal Hunt For The Sun (1969)
A fun historical drama movie based on the 1964 play by Peter Shaffer. With an amazing cast of Robert Shaw, Christopher Plummer, Michael Craig and Leonard Whitting, The Royal Hunt For The Sun is well worth a watch. Plus half naked Christopher Plummer isn’t that bad either.
. Cry Of A Prostitute (1974)
A campy jet thrilling low-budget crime drama from the mid-70’s. I just love the action scenes and special effects.
I just found out Vineagar Syndrome is doing a 4K version of Swimming to Cambodia. Already ordered.
Bonus: Norm Macdonald’s “Dirty Work” too!
The General (Buster Keaton)
Is Time Bandits forgotten? I like that one.
Is it? They made a Time Bandits TV series last year, didn’t they?
I would argue the TV remake is already forgotten…
Radioland Murders (1994)
A frenetic comedy mystery set during the debut live broadcast of a radio station in 1939. More than anything else, it’s a terrific exercise in film and sound editing, as the programs and musical numbers being performed on stage intertwine with the action backstage. It can be sort of difficult to appreciate if you’re fixated on having a single, steadily unfolding narrative, since it constantly jumps around between different characters and different settings, but if you just relax and let it wash over you, you’ll discover that it is a single, steadily unfolding narrative - it was just assembled from a whole bunch of separate but oddly interlocking pieces.
Brazil 1985 it may not be forgotten but it’s great.
- Quadrophenia 1979
- The Warriors 1979
- The Omega Man 1971
- A Clockwork Orange 1971
None of these are forgotten, they’re all well known classics.
They are classics, but if I were to ask anyone under 25 if they’ve seen them I wager not many would.
Just because children don’t know about them doesn’t make them forgotten.
What’s your definition of forgotten?
What the hell are you smoking, if nobody over 25 knows it then it is forgotten to at least the younger folk. Why are you being sopetty about this, it’s kind of weird.
Hudson Hawk was forgotten for a reason, but I think it’s time for 90s style farcical romps to make a comeback. Everybody’s taking their movies too seriously these days.
