IMDb

A young girl whose father is an ex-convict and whose mother is a junkie finds it difficult to conform and tries to find comfort in a quirky combination of Elvis and the punk scene.

Excellent drama directed by Dennis Hopper, putting Linda Manz in an excellent role of a teenage girl learning the ropes of life in the crazy life of the 70s and the relationship with her father and their dysfunctional family. Seven popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

IMDb

IMDb

A hot-tempered farm laborer convinces the woman he loves to marry their rich but dying boss so that they can have a claim to his fortune.

Another great movie by Terrence Malick, starring Richard Gere, Brooke Adams and Sam Shepard. Not much to say about it, just watch it, it’s only an hour and a half, it’s packed with beautiful vistas and a lovely story. Six popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.

Crusoe (1988)

Crusoe (1988)

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

Robinson Crusoe is shipwrecked and he finds himself all alone on a tropical island. With a few tools he manages to rescue from the wreck he has to learn to support himself until help arrives.

Slow-burning, well-written, excellently acted. The locations are beautiful, and altough the story doesn’t unfold too fast, there’s always something interesting on the screen. Great movie, a good spin on a story told in countless ways, who manages to throw a subtle jab at politics, history and personal values. Gets five popcorns and it sails smoothly into the Movie Vault.

How to Marry a Millionaire (1953)

How to Marry a Millionaire (1953)

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

Three women set out to find eligible millionaires to marry, but find true love in the process.

Great movie about three young women on their way of marrying rich. The three goddesses of classic cinema, Lauren Bacall, Betty Grable and Marily Monrow (who does a great job at playing a “blind-as-a-bat” woman bumping into various humourous objects and situations). Great comedy directed by Jean Negulesco, definitely six popcorns and going into the Movie Vault.

Badlands (1973)

Badlands (1973)

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

An impressionable teenage girl from a dead-end town, and her older greaser boyfriend, embark on a killing spree in the South Dakota Badlands.

Great crime/road movie starring a very young Martin Sheen (could have sworn it’s one of his kids), along Sissy Spacek (Carrie). The music is great, the pacing is excellent, and this little gem of a movie is not for everyone, but should be watched by most, being one of the best movies by Terrence Malick (The Vessel). Five popcorns.

Nobody Lives Forever (1946)

Nobody Lives Forever (1946)

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

Ex-GI Nick Blake gets involved in a scheme to fleece a rich, young widow, but finds himself falling for her, much to the displeasure of his racketeer cohorts.

Jean Negulesco continues his classic run of forties film noirs with this tale of a con artist who falls for the mark he is trying to fleece. The great John Garfield commands the screen as grifter Nick Blake, who returns to New York after the war, only to find heartache and betrayal. Heading west, Nick hooks up with fellow con men Pop (Walter Brennan) and Doc (George Coulouris), who need a Romeo to sweep recently widowed Gladys Halvorsen (Geraldine Fitzgerald) off her feet and out of her sizable inheritance. But it’s Nick who starts falling, and now that he wants out of the scam, will that fall turn into a dive? Or will Gladys pay the price for Nick’s change of heart? Garfield is his usual astonishing self, it’s Fitzgerald who proves a revelation, as she stabs at the heart of noir’s darkness by perfectly impersonating pure innocence. Faye Emerson plays the fatale, as Nick’s sultry ex. Five popcorns for a movie probably just as good as Casablanca.

Eileen (2023)

Eileen (2023)

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

Set during a bitter 1964 Massachusetts winter, young secretary Eileen becomes enchanted by the glamorous new counselor at the prison where she works. Their budding friendship takes a twisted turn when Rebecca reveals a dark secret โ€” throwing Eileen onto a sinister path.

It’s a slow-burning thriller, but it’s got enough action and funny moments to keep you hooked to the screen. Anne Hathaway does a really great role, and so does Thomasin McKenzie. Five stars for a good quick watch.

The Long Good Friday (1980)

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

An up-and-coming gangster is tested by the insurgence of an unknown, very powerful threat.

British crime movie starring Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren, under the direction of John Mackenzie. While released in 1980, it still holds a 70s vibe and it’s a decent (albeit boring) British gangster movie. Three popcorns.

IMDb

David vs. Goliath tale about everyday people who flipped the script on Wall Street and got rich by turning GameStop (the video game store) into the world’s hottest company.

Great movie about the people behind the GameStop short squeeze of January 2021, and how other people’s life was changed by that particular event. Five popcorns.

JFK (1991)

JFK (1991)

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

Oliver Stone’s epic film which follows the real-life events of New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison is a monumental movie event.

This movie, altough named JFK, is about the District Attorney Jim Garrison who investigated the murder of Kennedy, being one of the most important person seeking the truth about what happened in Dallas in November 22, 1963. Directed by Oliver Stone, the movie is a very long 3 hours and 10 minutes, but it’s packed with a lot of exposition, storytelling and conspiracies. Its cast is filled with huge names in bigger or smaller roles and every second of the movie is a treat for the eye and the brain. Six popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

Fail Safe (2000)

Fail Safe (2000)

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

Cold War tensions climb to a fever pitch when a U.S. bomber is accidentally ordered to drop a nuclear warhead on Moscow.

Based on the book that created the 1964 Fail Safe movie, this is a live play with absolutely great actors. The story is very good on its own, the acting is excellent, the cinematography and the direction are brilliant. Six popcorns and it jumps into the Movie Vault, next to its predecessor.

It seems that 36 years after the original movie, the world still needed to be taught about the dangers of nuclear warfare. Another 24 years later, today, the lesson is still not learned.
