Winter Kills (1979). Seriously out-there conspiracy theory movie based around the Kennedy assassination. Works well as a spoof, Huston steals the show.

Tonight's movie, A New Leaf (1971)
Matthau needs money. May has it. If he could just marry her and murder her...
A very enjoyable black comedy!

Banacek. Season 1 complete, moving on to Season 2 now. I wouldn't mind wiping the self-satisfied look off his face, but I'm really enjoying this. I haven't watched for probably 50 years.

That's it, that's all of 'em. Hope you liked and thanks for the challenge and to @tansleyjames.bsky.social for hosting.
Here's my full list (with logos and badges to take you back a bit!)

Today's movie, The In-Laws 1979.
I laughed loads at this one. Falk and Arkin are just PERFECT.

Today's film, The Asphalt Jungle.
Absolutely brilliant. Hayden being Hayden, Calhern sleazy and Jaffe stealing every scene he's in. It's funny that James Whitmore ends up in jail here - maybe this was the offence that had him locked up in Shawshank for so many years?

Tonight's was the stylin' Tamara Dobson as Cleopatra Jones. Great stuff. Shelley Winters is the baddie (!) and Kojak's Capt. MacNeil (Dan Frazer) shows up as... a police captain.

The Man got his ass kicked every which way tonight in Three the Hard Way, the best #Blaxploitation film I've seen. Jim Kelly's kung-fu whoops will stay long in the memory! I absolutely loved it

Dearie me, that's a shocker of a line-up. A rugby guy and a cycling guy (I wonder if he'll put on an Aussie accent when he says their names?) based in a studio in London.

Tonight's movie, the morally dubious but adequate time-passer The Thief Who Came to Dinner (1973). Ryan O'Neal is a smug git though, be warned.

Currently listening to Husker Du's The Miracle Year.
The one thing that stopped me from every being an uber-Du fan was the tinny production - if they ever remaster their stuff I'll be first in line to buy. Until then, this is a cracking alternative. 43 live songs, and they sound GOOD.

Tonight's 2nd movie (I'm in a courtroom drama mood, it seems)
The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)
Stirring, emontional, eloquent, manipulative, very Sorkin - for better and for worse. Rylance is superb, as is Langella in a thankless role.

I didn't realise until after than Elsa Lanchester, the nurse, was also the Bride of Frankenstein, and that she was married to Laughton. That's pretty funny, with the way he treats her in the movie

Today's movie, Witness for the Prosecution (1957)
Laughton and Dietrich great, Power miscast. Stupid plot twist, still a good film, and with more (light) humour than I'd expected

Next up, Black Caesar. Little guy makes big, then has to keep hold of it. The Man, or l'uomo in this case, is the Mob, and Fred Williamson is the bad-ass.
It's OK, not classic.

Today's film, The Manchurian Candidate (1962)
LIke casting Henry Fonda as a baddie in Once Upon a Time in the West, evil Angela Lansbury is also jarring. Great film, of course, although Janet Leigh's part is woefully undercooked.

Tonight's movie
Anatomy of a Murder (1959)
Fully deserves every word of praise it's ever received. Wow, what a movie. James Stewart + Lee Remick + courtroom drama = all-time great.
(How funny it is to think that Ben Gazzara is in both this and The Big Lebowski, 39 years later)

Today:
Torn Curtain (1966)
A lesser Hitch, they say, but brilliantly suspenseful. Gromek a wonderfully sinister East German security man.
I loved it.

Too Late for Tears (1949)
Fantastic! Lizabeth Scott obtains a suitcase with $60k in it, and she'll do anything to hold on to it.
I absolutely loved it. I'm such a sucker for noir.
