Fail Safe (1964)
Picture of it's time?
I feel like this movie would have hit much harder at the height of the Cold War...I found one decision especially confounding but won't say more and reveal anything.
Picture Snatcher (1933)
Good for a quick movie, but...
A little too much physicality with the ladies, including where Cagney knocks one out and tosses her in the backseat. Otherwise, there were a few parts that get a chuckle.
The Mayor of Hell (1933)
Good story with a few flaws.
All I need is someone to explain to me how and why Cagney began at the reformatory? Why is a guy running a criminal racket being given(?) such a job?
Out Cold (2001)
Casablanca circa the year 2000
It's literally the plot of Casablanca...saw this, liked it, saw that, loved it, then saw this again and made the connection...guy and girl break up due to unforeseen circumstances, then girl shows up with more admirable/noble partner, and then same ending.
Mary Poppins (1964)
Still works!
I gave it an eight because even today, I get my 4 year old requesting it, and preferring it to the modern day "sequel".
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931)
Transformation!
I remain absolutely blown away by the first transformation. His face changes before our eyes and for 1931, it seems so advanced. I read somewhere that the director eventually revealed 30+ years later that he used filters, but the way he did so, so seamlessly, is incredible.
