Members quartermainefan Posted August 27, 2012 Members Share Posted August 27, 2012 Speaking of James Stewart, John Ford was the most respected director in old Hollywood, winning four Oscars. Everyone says his masterpiece was The Searchers, but while it was very good nothing is better than The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence. This is not a HD copy and it really has some beautiful visuals but I cannot recommend this movie strongly enough. It is a true classic just pop it into full screen and check it out. <embed flashVars="playerVars=autoPlay=no" src="http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/7909877/o_homem_que_matou_liberty_valence_legendado.swf" width="600" height="338" wmode="transparent" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" name="Metacafe_7909877" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed><div style="font-size:12px;"><a href="http://www.metacafe.com/watch/7909877/o_homem_que_matou_liberty_valence_legendado/">O Homem Que Matou Liberty Valence (Legendado)</a> - <a href="http://www.metacafe.com/">The most amazing videos are a click away</a></div> There is some little cartoon that runs before the full movie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted September 5, 2012 Members Share Posted September 5, 2012 Just watched Strangers When We Meet (1960) with Kirk Douglas and Kim Novak. Was very impressed with this story of adultery. Although dated in some ways,it still packed a punch. Barbara Rush was terrific as Kirk's wife.She imbued the character with a lot of strength in a role that could have come off as pathetic or needy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted September 6, 2012 Members Share Posted September 6, 2012 I hate going to movies. Every actor/actress are carbon copies of one another and there is just no depth in the story telling. Also, actors back then where more diverse acting wise. Not just talking about Acting/singing/dancing. I am saying they also had more range and ability. I wish movie musicles would come back besides that is what I grew up with. That is why I hate CG effects. It just looks so fake. You look at start wars for instance and compare Yoda from Empire strikes back with Attack of the clones (or any of the prequels) and you see what I mean. When they used puppets they had to pay attention to detail so they would look real. The Yoda, however, in the prequels look cartoonish. When a movie that uses CG graphics first comes out the graphics look real but six months after it's initial release they FX become dated. I do not think its because Hollywood doesn't have the money to pay professionals to make the production look spectacular. I think Hollywood is so tied up with the "famous for being famous" types who have no talent that they are forgetting the real talent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted September 6, 2012 Members Share Posted September 6, 2012 9 hours for a movie is insane 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted September 7, 2012 Members Share Posted September 7, 2012 Well, Erich von Stroheim (wicked name, right?) wasn't exactly a peach. Still, if broken up into parts, I would have loved to see the unedited 9 hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 I did not realize Murnau came to America. I googled this movie and supposedly it is great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
