Agora? Sneakers? The Delta Force? Broken Arrow? Devil in a Blue Dress? The Bone Collector? Lost Horizon? Now that is how to make a haul.
It's a solid one. And cheap, too.
I'm still a bit gobsmacked that you're watching a Chuck Norris movie, even if it does have Lee Marvin co-starring in it! We saw it because for a long time, if a movie had Norris in it, Tammy was going to watch it. 🤷♂
It's...okay, though Lee Marvin mostly stands around the edges and whisper-barks orders while Chuck Norris does all the ass-kicking.
@@timeliebe That movie's tone is insanely all over the map. It tries to end feeling a bit like The Seven Samurai, but that's hard to do with Norris zooming all over the place on a rocket-firing motorcycle. At least the theme music is motivational.
I remember when the movie "Sneakers" came out it didn't get much love, and I don't know why. It's fun to watch, and it make me smile.
It really works and it's on the side of the angels, too.
THE SWORD IN THE STONE is the first film I remember as something I specifically saw as a child (I was five or six then), not as "Oh, yes, of course my parents took me to the movies!" or "Oh, yes, I saw movies on television!"
For some reason I remember us leaving the Army base theater in Germany and people running outside to say "The President's been shot!" My parents hurried us home and turned on the television (our first tour in Germany we had a regular b&w US television so we got AFRTS television, not the German one my Dad bought during our second time there!), and it was true-President John F. Kennedy had been shot. We didn't know if he was dead or not, but it was an incredible shock even to me, because while I knew very little I knew who "President Kennedy" was....
Here's the weird part-according to Wikipedia and IMDB, THE SWORD IN THE STONE wasn't shown anywhere before December 12, 1963, nearly three weeks AFTER JFK's assassination, and wasn't released in a special New York City engagement until Christmas, 1963, a month later. U.S. military base theaters usually got new films late in their release cycle, like when drive-ins and neighborhood theaters got it about six months after its initial release. While it's POSSIBLE that Disney decided to give a preview screening to Our Boys overseas Keeping the World Safe for Democracy, I'd think he'd either put on the dog for the Brass and Senior Officers, or an outdoor mass screenings for all troops, not a regular theatrical show for servicemen and their Dependents.
If anybody more aware of release schedules in the early-mid 1960s has more information than I have, please speak up-it's sat around in my brain for over a half-century that I came out of THE SWORD IN THE STONE to hear about JFK's assassination, even though its release dates should make that impossible.
Not sure. Memory can be a tricky bastard, too. I've conflated two incidents myself, but you could be right, too.
Sneakers is a great movie for the funny details. The scene with the Popeil Pocket Fisherman cracked me up.
Yep. There's a big aspect of social engineering hacking in Sneakers.
some amazing movies there......I love getting great movies cheaply from the opp shop....
Broken Arrow is so good.....Travota as a bad boy is always worth the watch.....
Travolta is an incredibly hit or miss actor. With a good director, he's good. Without one he can make some very poor acting choices or he phones it in.
Devil in a Blue Dress. Here's how great Denzel is as a moviemaker. Crewed a couple of days on Devil in lighting. After sooooo many white-bread crews, I actually worked, in my time, on a crew of predominately, people of color. I could tell some of departments weren't too tight, because THEY WEREN'T GIVEN THE CHANCE to ply their stagecraft daily. Good day for diversity and a tribute to Denzel Washington.
Thanks for the extra info. It's a great movie and the novel is even better. Walter Mosley's books are 100% worth it, too.
Really miss second hand media shops. I got so many good CDs from a place called Sound Images. It closed over a decade ago.😢
Finding good CDs is more difficult but I'm sure there are hidden gems out there.
What a great haul, and that Peter Watkins double is a genuinely amazing find.
I've seen the trailer for the Sonny Chiba Bodyguard film a number of times. It has this quite peculiar "Viva Chiba" chant going on in it. Eureka are building up a good library of Asian action films, I've got a bunch of their Hong Kong titles.
And yes, I Was Born But... is a silent film; Japan was slow in going over to sound and Ozu was slower than most. He held out until 1936, when the studio finally forced him to make a sound film, whereupon he got the hump and insisted that if Shochiku were going to make him make a sound film at all, he would be doing it using a competing studio's sound tech. I should add that There Was a Father is probably unrepresentative, in that Ozu was kind of forced to make it as sort of wartime propaganda; the only extant prints of the film are 16mm ones chopped up by occupying American censors, though apparently the missing footage has been rediscovered in the last couple of years.
The Watkins one was amazing. I stood in the op shop turning it over in my hands, not quite believing it was there. It surprised the hell out of me that it was there.
The channel History for Atheists does a scholarly explanation of what is actual recorded about Hypatia and the Library of Alexandria. I haven't seen Agora but will one day. It would be a good double feature, a documentary then the movie.
Good point!
Flying High? That is news to me.
Yep. That's what it's called here.
And I think it's the better title.
@@terrytalksmovies Shirley you're not serious! [budum-tish 😬]
William Blatty was famous for comedy before he wrote the Exorcist. He wrote A Shot In the Dark, the second Inspector Clouseau film. The Exorcist might have been very different if Peter Sellers played Lt Kinderman.
The Exorcist came out when Sellers was making poor decisions in his career. 😉
I caught part of NOAH when it was on streaming, and it's...something. It's very much of the "Jehovah is a Jealous God" school of Judeo-Christian religion, which Crowe...fits really well into, and the Angels look like something Jack Kirby might've come up with in his more cosmic moments.
I remember Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo joking during Kermode's review of the movie about Ray Winstone, as an enemy of Noah's, planning to take by ark by yelling to his followers, "Man United-Will Not Fall!" Since there's a major footer team in the UK, Manchester United" which is often called "Man United", both presenters started laughing and making wisecracks about its rival team, Arsenal, going down in the flood! 😂
It's a weird film alright but it has moments of interest.
Sneakers is a great movie. 👍 Do you have Wag the Dog? Fantastic film
Yep. Wag The Dog hits those who need the hit.
A History of Violence! Yes! One of my favorite movies of the '00s
There are a lot of copies of it out there.
@@terrytalksmovies Here too. It doesn't get enough love
Good Haul👍...just say no to malls...History Of Violence and Eastern Promises would make a great double bill...Stardust is a fun sweet fantasy...Shane is a classic... Fun Fact Tom Cruise is only an inch taller than Alan Ladd.
Tom Cruise is a weird movie phenomenon. No charisma with female co-stars, an overwhelming ego and a wannabe alpha male vibe that is offputting.
do you mean eastern promises?
with vigo as a russian gangster in london?
totally agree. that naked fight in the sauna is unforgettable.
@@relaxedXgen Sorry...typing mistake...both great Cronenberg gangster movies...as far as I recall not a bunny to be found in either one of them.
You'll hopefully love Agora as I do, great story, great actors, and great visuals. One of my favourites and I've got the same DVD as you. Noah is surprisingly good, and I've just received my BFI copy of War Game/Culloden for a lot more than you paid but I did get it cheaper than normal through a BFI sale. I hope to enjoy it anyway. Enjoy!
Thanks, Brett. I'm lookign forward to them.
Agora, Devil in a Blue Dress, and the Watkins double are all outstanding picks.
They're the three winners, absolutely.
I just picked up Daybreakers on your recommendation. I haven't had a chance to watch it, but the 2010 BluRay has all sorts of.features. If you had a new-for-2010 internet-connected BR player, it could take you to a website with all sorts of extras, all sorts of gimmicks on the disk. The website is undoubtedly long gone, and I don't have a BR player to try the gimmicks, since I buy physical media to rip to my digital media collection. There may be an episode in those sorts of physical media tricks (I remember 'easter eggs' being on every disk) that you can't access now.
Yep. Easter eggs are a rabbit hole for those who want it. Me, I think they're cute but not really my thing. 😀
Hey Terry. Nice haul, I think you will get a kick out Chiba’s Bodyguard complete with its own Ezekiel Speech appropriated by Tarantino for Pulp Fiction. And when you’re done with Delta Force (good nonsense with a cast of seasoned veterans like Shelly Winters, Marty Balsam and Robert Forster) will you partake in Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection.? 😜
I'm not sure I want to go down a Delta Force rabbit hole. I'll watch the first one and see.
Next time you're on our side of town, check out the Ringwood Savers. I dropped some stuff off a couple of weeks ago, and they weren't taking any more DVD's because they had a giant skip full. It's so tempting, but I just ont have the space....d'oh!
Thanks for the tip, Matt. 😀
awesome choice with shane.
iconic.
remade as clint eastwoods’ pale rider and to a lesser extent as
mad max 2.
Yep but the original is the best. Fantastic locations, too.
Curious to hear your take on DARLING LILI, which was apparently some kind of unholy mess to make, between Paramount forcing Blake Edwards to shoot his arial sequences in Ireland so they could use the planes used in THE BLUE MAX (despite it costing significantly more than shooting it in South Carolina as Edwards had planned), Paris having to be faked in Belgium thanks to the actual city being shut down by student protests, and Paramount editing the film with little input from it director! That was reportedly not aided by Andrews negging on Hudson, her onscreen lover, for his sexuality, which I'm sure went over a treat with the deeply-closeted star.
There is also a second edit of the movie, done in the Nineties by Edwards himself, which got released on Region 1 DVD, available via Amazon or eBay.
Why would you re-edit a flop? Do the next thing.
@@terrytalksmovies - because the movie was taken away from him, and Edwards felt he could do a better job with the footage he had than Paramount did.
A great haul of films. And at an excellent price. You hit the jackpot on this group.
I'm happy with it. Some better than others but also some unexpected gems.
Behind Enemy Lines is a decent war film, from the Yugoslavian conflicts of the 90s. Airplane 2 (or Flying High 2) is unfortunately not by ZAZ. Others took it on as ZAZ did Top Secret. Repeats a lot of jokes, has a few good original ones. I have the UK Culloden & The War Games, great stuff. Flight if the Concords was funny, very deadpan. I've seen a dubbed version of The Bodyguard, you'll recognize the opening narration if it's in your version. In the Heart of the Sea is about the true story that inspired Herman Melville to write Moby Dick. I loved I Was Born, But... very funny and sweet. It is a silent. Good hauls.
Thanks @taker68 I'm quite happy with this haul. 😀
No more physical media at the JB Hifi down the road from me, will go to the opp shops
There's still the JB online store, however.
Devil in a Blue Dress has a great soundtrack as well.
Absolutely and Carl Franklin is an underrated director, too.
GIJOE, a movie so dumb they blow up the ice caps, and the ice caps which are made of water, sink...in water. SNEAKERS = aces! STARDUST is a banger for sure.
I'm rewatching Sneakers, soon. Stardust is a fun fantasy and that cast is amazing.
Sneakers is a fun flic. I love both of the thrillers, that Cronenberg made. History of Violence is good, but Eastern Promise is the superior movie. A shame, that it didn't made it at least to the nominees list of the Oscars. Since you mentioned Stanley Tucci, have you watched "Conspiracy"? He is extrem scary, only beaten by Kenneth Branagh's performance in that movie. They shoot it on location, which adds a extra layer on creepiness.
Conspiracy is chilling. And the Tooch is good in everything, especially The Imposters, with Oliver Platt.
Truffles and dog shit.....I like that.
I thought it was a bit of a stretch as an analogy but it seems to have landed. 😀
Deniro would be the one to stop me from getting stardust not ricky
Why?
Can't stand him played to many tough guys he thinks he's one of screen too why do you not like Ricky gervais
I do like the videos, but living in rural France I have little chance to hunt down DVDs which, like you, are at the core of our viewing. So I have to count on Amazon et al and the greedy bastards charging sometimes huge amounts for old DVDs. Your videos give me the titles and can then try and track them down. Thank you.
My pleasure, Tony. Try eBay as well. There are a lot of European releases that are selling for good prices.
Sneakers is great. I love classic Westerns but I've always hated Shane. Probably due to the little kid actor, I found him whiny and annoying. It has been so long since I've watched Alphaville I don't remember much about it other than I liked it, the first thing that comes to mind is black and white Blade Runner.
Funny. I thought Blade Runner was a technicolor Alphaville with a duller protagonist. 😉😀
I generally wanted to avoid Noah because I have been tired of biblical literalists, but if you think it's a good fantasy, I might check it out.
Seeing it as a fantasy movie is a good policy. I treat all biblical movies that way and it works surprisingly often.
always wanted to ask do you find chris Lilley very offensive or are you are OK with his way over the top comedy I find him very extremely wild like
Andrew dice clay
Chris Lilley is as funny as a positive biopsy. A comedian who relied on yellowface and blackface and drag to add zero to the art of comedy.
not Australia's finest comedian after your comment one of Australia's biggest jerk I agree terry
