Last Notes npub102z90ttv27a874lg5pk092hp6ryxs3m8p6ke232ayrwhtr3tva2sswstfm d4doome Legend of the Witches (1970), an odd faux-documentary taking a sympathetic look at witchcraft in the modern world and with re-enactments (possibly quite realistic) of witchcraft rituals, laced with copious nudity. And some vague hippie touches. npub102z90ttv27a874lg5pk092hp6ryxs3m8p6ke232ayrwhtr3tva2sswstfm d4doome Godzilla: Invasion of the Astro-monster (1965): Godzilla and Rodan are sent to Planet X to save its inhabitants from King Ghidorah. This is a space opera and a monster movie. Best things about it - no comic relief, no cute kids, no preachiness. npub102z90ttv27a874lg5pk092hp6ryxs3m8p6ke232ayrwhtr3tva2sswstfm d4doome @npub10xg…h39u You don't come to Mastodon to enjoy yourself. Social media is not meant to be fun. Fun is bad. npub102z90ttv27a874lg5pk092hp6ryxs3m8p6ke232ayrwhtr3tva2sswstfm d4doome Midnight Lace is a 1960 Ross Hunter-produced US crime film set in London which gave Doris Day her last, and best, serious dramatic role. It's almost a proto-giallo, but with echoes of GASLIGHT. A top-notch mystery/suspense/psychological thriller. npub102z90ttv27a874lg5pk092hp6ryxs3m8p6ke232ayrwhtr3tva2sswstfm d4doome @npub16ws…03ry While I've grown fond of 80s Franco I do think the late 60s to the late 70s was peak Franco. npub102z90ttv27a874lg5pk092hp6ryxs3m8p6ke232ayrwhtr3tva2sswstfm d4doome @npub16ws…03ry Eugenie de Sade is one of Franco's best. One of his deadly women movies, along with She Killed in Ecstasy and several others. npub102z90ttv27a874lg5pk092hp6ryxs3m8p6ke232ayrwhtr3tva2sswstfm d4doome @npub16ws…03ry I just love love love those Gainsborough melodramas. I'm especially fond of the outrageous MADONNA OF THE SEVEN MOONS. npub102z90ttv27a874lg5pk092hp6ryxs3m8p6ke232ayrwhtr3tva2sswstfm d4doome @npub16ws…03ry Alucarda is such a wild ride. npub102z90ttv27a874lg5pk092hp6ryxs3m8p6ke232ayrwhtr3tva2sswstfm d4doome Earthquake (1974) has everything that I love in a 70s disaster movie. If I wanted to explain the genre to someone I'd say go see Earthquake. Plus it has Chuck Heston. And it still looks cool. With no CGI! npub102z90ttv27a874lg5pk092hp6ryxs3m8p6ke232ayrwhtr3tva2sswstfm d4doome Watched Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train (1951) yet again and I'm still impressed by its technical perfection. And I'm noticing the subtle and disturbing touches of moral ambiguity. A great movie and an interesting one. npub102z90ttv27a874lg5pk092hp6ryxs3m8p6ke232ayrwhtr3tva2sswstfm d4doome Harry Harrison’s 1961 novel The Stainless Steel Rat is a semi-comic sci-fi adventure romp about the adventures of a criminal in a future in which crime scarcely exists. There's a fine lady super-villain and it's superb entertainment. npub102z90ttv27a874lg5pk092hp6ryxs3m8p6ke232ayrwhtr3tva2sswstfm d4doome James Whale's The Man in the Iron Mask (1939), based (loosely) on the final instalment of Alexander Dumas’ tales of the Three Musketeers. npub102z90ttv27a874lg5pk092hp6ryxs3m8p6ke232ayrwhtr3tva2sswstfm d4doome Butterfield 8 is a much more interesting and much better movie than its reputation would suggest.
