Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966): It plays like a play, it is heavy on dialogue and is quite long so it needs a bit of patience.; DVD ~~$24.95~~ $18.70
Delicious (2021): You can understand why those in wigs were guillotined. Good production values.
100 Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared, The (Hundred Year Old Man, the) (2013): Well produced and entertaining but it got repetitive through being too long.
Sherpa (2015): Talk about having a camera in the right place at the right time.
Why Don't You Play in Hell? (Jigoku de naze warui) (2013): Relax, lay back, and let the blood flow over you.
On the Town (1949): The dance troupe includes two of the best in Kelly and Miller and there is good comedic support from Betty Garrett et.al. The location shooting is the icing on the cake.
Wild One, The (1954): Brando is more of a flower pot than a wild one but there is some interest in Lee Marvin still learning the ropes. The highlight is the beautiful black and white.
Twisted Nerve (1968): The screenplay was never more than steadily paced but it does drag unnecessarily in the second half at times. Hywel Bennett is very good and there is an excellent supporting cast in Billie Whitelaw, Barry Foster, and Timothy West.
Martyrs (2008): I fail to see the artistic merit in portraying the beating and torturing of a woman by a man.
Naked City, The (1948): A decent policier with a memorable opening sequence. I never tire of looking at New York street scenes – the older the better.
