Possibly the best non-black&white noir of all-time..

Movie Marathon in Cinemax yesterday.

From Here to Eternity.(1953)
For most part I was figuring out whether Sinatra has already start wearing wigs. He had. Lancaster's performance seemed two decades out of style. Montgomery Clift is as usual, stunning.

The Bridge on the River Kwai(1957)
Intha mathiri padam ellam inime yarachum eduppanggala? No way! Nobody can do it again. Guiness & Holden, casting made in heaven.

War of the World1953
I won't say original is better, but it still had that smell of fear. The terror, the paranoia. Spielberg's becomes a chase movie in the middle, and then a monster movie. Is this better? Nah, I say read the book.

It's still holds up. Pity Newman and Redford didn't do more films together, they make such a great couple.

2001: A Space Odyssey1968
To see it in pan and scan mode is criminal.

The way it ended it made it even more disturbing...

We think their culture is violent and savage, but the worst is just waiting in Ships on the shoreline... A Time of Ethnic Cleansing, Religious Persecution and Genocide waits the Indigenous Population of the Continent...

Hmm.. correct. And yes the ending was disturbing. k_g had a good point elsewhere in the hub on this and I agree with him;

It's almost like Mel's pitching how the Christian mercenaries (the white beacon, at the very end of the film you see the ship approaching) would reform these Mayan half-animals! I'd not be wrong if I suspect Mel's being extremely insincere here.

What are the better Noir movies of the colorless era? (Maltese Falcon? Oh! Please!)
This ine, felt very much like Casablanca, ending twist or whatever very disappointing. If not for Nicholson (Even Dunaway was just average) its a very ordinary movie.

Hereafter

Another underrated movie from 2010. I hate when people don't see that such a perspective movie has taken an objective view of the point it is talking about. What Hereafter is dealing with is something which hasn't been proven or explained so the chances of it getting on a side was very easy but it was Eastwood who was directing and walking on such a thin line is child's play for him. The central characters are of a school boy, a french journalist woman and a Psychic. All three characters have been etched and played with extreme fineness. Though some visuals for the so called Hereafter but what the heck it is after all an american movie. :P

Down By Law

Jarmusch has been a director who I have been wanting to check for a very long time and only the day before yesterday I did. After hearing (almost always reading) so much about him I did have expectations and the genre which he says DBT to be under itself fascinated me. The genre is neo-beat-noir-comedy . I so wanted to check the fusion of neo-noir and beat generation and comedy. And what did that turn into? A compelling drama about three convicts. I enjoyed this movie from the very first scene itself. The support Jarmusch gets from his actors is just incredible especially Benigni, there are so many funny scenes and the subtle ones from jack and zack are too good.

If you are a fan of neo-noir and some weirdness I say "GO FOR IT". Brilliant movie.

Comparing this ending to Casablanca's is a crime.

Chinatown.

I see noir when I see most of the main characters are doomed. Either pyshically or psychologically. Chinatown has it. Jake is sleazy, money grubbing private dick, but he had a little heart and that is not enough to save him from getting washed up by rising tide, literally in this film. The film boasts one of the most greatest villain ever, played by one of the greatest director ever. The adultery revealed in this film was pretty shocking for his time. "my sister, my daughter, my sister, my daughter..." Haunting!

It's powerful drama, plain and simple. Another brilliant script analysed by master scriptwriter, William Goldman, in his first memoir. Robert Towne was once a god, and this was his master creation. And yes, the 70s was awesome.

Hey, I even like the much disliked sequel.
