Too many writers, too many directors and too much drugs consumed.
All in all, very enjoyable mess of an movie.
That s right, son.
I prefer to think of myself as the cousin who only visits when money is involved.
I love both of them. Hard to choose between the two, but I’d probably give Picture Show a slight edge.
Just bought it on blu ray myself. Looking forward to watching it. It's a great fun romp. Very well made. Dalton is indeed great and Alan Arkin a hoot ("you look like a hood ornament") and Jennifer Connelly is ravishing,
not like she is now!! Great action and James Horner does a memorable score!
It's one of those films I enjoy everytime I watch it, Jennifer Connelly is jaw dropping, Arkin is great he is always good value. Enjoy I was impressed with the Bluray, the scene in the swamp/ditch after Rocketeer crash lands that really is a sharp image, the circus scene is awesome.
Edited: Because of the time in which The Rocketeer was made i always imagine how Dalton's third Bond may have been when I watch this film.
It’s been a few years since I’ve watched this Alfred Hitchcock romance thriller. One of my all time favourite films, it has pretty much everything I require. There’s a suave leading man, beautiful women, suspense, romance, intrigue, wonderful locations, a memorable score, and an interesting plot. There’s also engaging and well written dialogue laced with innuendo. It’s a wonderful mix of 50’s glamour & pace combined with a more modern edge which was to become prevalent in the 60’s, most notably with the Bond films. In fact, there are a lot of elements here that remind me of the earlier OO7 entries. I’m thinking in particular of the scene by the water outside the hotel in Cannes, the brisk ride through the mountains in Monaco, the casino sequence, the black Citroens, the rooftop prowl, the discussion over a quality meal etc. etc.
Cary Grant is as assured, charming and debonair as ever as retired jewellery burglar John Robie aka The Cat. Did he know how to wear a suit, and his casual style was also elegant & sophisticated. It’s difficult to believe he was already in his 5th decade here, & I certainly would like to look as good as him at that age. Costar Grace Kelly is excellent too as his love interest and possible victim/captor. Almost surreally attractive, she conveys an unusual combination of bashfulness with self-assurance here which I find very compelling. Jessie Royce Landis is a hoot as her wealthy mother & the dignified looking John Williams is credible as an insurance investigator.
It’s a very stylish and endearing film which moves at a reasonable clip from start to finish. It has a light and breezy quality about it. Highly recommended.
Very good film. A fun ride with great characters, dialouge, and locations. Grace Kelly looks stunning, most beautiful woman to grace the earth.
"Christopher, where art thou?"
This is one of those animal attack movies that came out in the wake of Jaws. We have our hero (ruggedly charismatic park ranger, Christopher George), an 18 ft man eating Grizzly, a possibly insane animal expert and even a cloth eared official who refuses to listen, until a number of people have already died.
Obvious parallels to Jaws aside, Grizzly is made watchable thanks to Christopher George, who was a likeable actor. It is sad that he died so young, and never got to see his films reach an appreciative audience.
Good lord, i saw this at the cinema with my dad when it came out!
I loved it and had the tie-in novel. I remember the impressive poster with the blurb, "15 feet of gut crunching terror!"
I saw bits of it not so long ago and it was pretty crap. One left in the rose tinted memory bank i think...
Despite having watched several Hitchcock films, I've never actually seen To Catch A Thief. Might have to (finally) give it a go.
I liked this one quite a bit more than the first one. The jokes were great. It's a comedy flick, people! And yet, we get Cable, Juggernaut, Black Tom Cassidy, ... So comic book fans get what they want for sure.
Great little movie.
I don't buy many physical copies of films any more - usually just digital copies from iTunes. Might have to make an exception!

Regarding iTunes/digital copies; how do you guys feel about the image quality in digital copies? I'm rarely fussy about quality myself, but it's interesting to hear other people's opinion on it.
I did! :D That was great. People were laughing incredibly hard in my theatre. The film was a true success indeed.
I'm so hazy on some of those double-bills I saw around that time. Another double-bill was The Incredible Melting Man with The Savage Bees.
Unless I saw Day of the Animals with The Car? I'm confused now.
To those who have seen it...
Loved the movie overall. 2 hours of laughing your a** off, what more could you ask for.
One of my faves from this decade, it hit the spot tonight as always. It's just a totally cool film with some truly amazing set pieces and action sequencing. Rebecca Ferguson is such a great choice for Ilsa Faust, and her chemistry with Cruise is what makes this film for me. I really like Sean Harris's sinister and nasally voiced Solomon Lane as well, and am glad both are back for part 6.
I wanted to get this viewing out of the way some time prior to Fallout, so as to let expectations dissipate. I'm totally pumped for the new film now, but really am not sure how they will top Rogue Nation. If it's even 2/3 as good I'll be a happy camper.
Certainly good fun.
