Some Excellent Suggestions For An Awesome Flick To Watch Today

By Margery Woodard

Many services also offer software that permits you to transfer the motion picture to a dvd so that you can watch it on your television set. Watching videos while cuddled up on the couch in front of your Television is much more appealing than sitting in front of a computer. Make sure that the website offers that if it is crucial to you. Below are some of the best films of all time. Pick a good movie to view this evening.

The Night of the Iguana - Trudging account based on Tennessee Williams play. Recovered alcoholic clergyman Burton, a bus-journey guide in Mexico, becomes involved with Kerr, Gardner, and Lyon. Dorothy Jeakins won an Oscar for her costumes. Cast includes Richard Burton, Deborah Kerr, Ava Gardner, Sue Lyon, Skip Ward, Grayson Chamber, and Cyril Delevanti. (118 minutes, 1964)

The Defiant - A preoccupying account of 2 fugitive convicts, one black and one white who are chained together as they escape from the penitentiary in the South. Superior performances by Williams and Chaney as individuals they meet during the voyage. Academy Prize for screenplay by Harold Jacob Smith and Nathan E. Cast includes Tony Curtis, Sidney Poitier, Theodore Bike, Charles McGraw, Carnie Williams, and Lon Chaney, Jr. (97 minutes, 1958)

The Ploughman's Lunch - Difficult, cynical disapproval of British behaviors, ethics and affairs of state, focusing on the exercises of wholly egotistical journalist (Pryce) and others throughout the Falklands battle. The motion picture is rather perceptive, within the restraints of its outlook. Cast includes Jonathan Pryce, Tim Curry, Rosemary Harris, Blunt Finlay, and Charlie Dore. (100 minutes, 1983)

Red Sun - East meets West in this eccentric account of a samurai fighter chasing a precious Japanese sword stolen from a train crossing the American West. Cast includes Charles Bronson, Ursula Andress, Toshiro Mifune, Alain Delon, and Capucine. (112 minutes, 1972)

Clue - Silly and insipid mystery based on the popular board game of the same name with all the recognizable characters Mrs. Peacock, Colonel Mustard, Miss Red, et al. assembled for a murderous day in a Victorian mansion. Everyone tries extremely hard but there is nothing they can do to save this weak film. Cast includes Eileen Brennan, Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Ponder, and Howard Hesseman. (87 minutes, 1985)

Faces - Very personal drama in regards to numerous infidelities is one of the few Cassel motion pictures to become a big hit. Here's a strong motion picture with grand action, particularly by Carlin and Cassel. Cast includes John Marley, Gena Rowlands, Lynn Carlin, Seymour Cassel, Fred Draper, and Val Avery. (130 minutes, 1968)

The Gorgeous Hussy - Megastars fill the cast list in this fictionalized historical drama of Peggy O'Neal, President Andrew Jackson's secret lover. The cast is wonderfully costumed in well assigned settings. The flick is based on the book by Samuel Hopkins Joyce. Cast includes Joan Crawford, Robert Taylor, Lionel Barrymore, Franchot Tone, Melvyn Douglas, James Stewart, Alison Skipworth, Beulah Bondi, and Gene Lockhart. (102 minutes, 1936)
