Watching a Harry Belafonte movie: The World, the Flesh, and the Devil. It's a post-apocolyptically themed film with a Twilight Zone-ish feel and look to it. Pretty good, so far.

My favorite Twilight scene...........Before the end.

The only thing that supersedes it is, of course, the The final fight.

I still remember the shivers, the awe and the disbelief in those few minutes.
Lori and I had seen it all in the theatre, but we looked at each other, jaws agape when these moments were first shown.

Nobody who was involved with the franchise for years believed it either.
Some might think little of it, but the scene involved almost everybody we can come to love and know.

I think we're going to watch Casablanca, tonight. I honestly don't believe I've ever seen it.

I've got Omega Man recorded, too, so maybe a Charlton Heston movie for an encore.

Speaking of dark tales, I just watched Marnie. ~Pretty intense Alfred Hitchcock film with Tippi Hedron and Sean Connery. I'll warn you ahead of time it's not a feel good movie. It's a disturbing tale about a woman with childhood trauma that causes adult problems and doesn't get explained until the end. I love dark stuff, but this one just left me feeling depressed.

Sing.
Went to the movie theater again. It is a very good story about "The Show Must Go On." If you really get into the movie. Have a Kleenex handy.
Spoiler alert!!! Don't watch the previews. They give away to much of the movie story. It is better to see it without all of the giveaways.

Just watched Psycho. It's apparently been a long time since I'd seen it, because I didn't remember anything about the $40,000 she(Janet Leigh) stole at the beginning of the movie.

Watched The Grapes of Wrath, tonight. I read the book in high school, but didn't really get into it. The movie, I liked, but it seems as we get older, we are more interested in history, anyway.

I'm very interested in the Dust Bowl era, now, and would like to go down to the photo archives at the University of Louisville, and see what I can dig up regarding pictures here of that time, because supposedly there were weeks during those dark years that the dust clouds blew all the way to the Atlantic coast.

Probably cause We want to go back in time, but of course our trip thru time, is a one way trip, for the foreseeable future at least. But then We don't know the 1st thing about time, just how to measure time...

Hi Gordon, and Hi everyone,
i also just finished watching the The Grapes of Wrath,
I have of course, seen the Movie before,
but every time I watch the Movie, I discover some thing new.
Henry Fonda was great in that movie!

Great Movie!

Gordon,

the following google link, has somedust bowl era photos,
https://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=620&q=dust+bowl+era+photos&oq=Dust+Bowl+era&gs_l=img
The Grapes of Wrath is an American realist novel written by John Steinbeck and published in 1939,
The book won the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize for fiction, and
it was cited prominently when Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962.
i think The Grapes of Wrath is John Steinbeck greatest work.
