I admit that I had low expectations going into this movie. I wasn't a fan of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? when it was on television (is it still on the air? I have no idea). I'm not a fan . . .

I didn't expect to like this movie. In fact, I'd avoided watching it in the past.
I don't know if you can "like" this movie. It's very affecting, and held my attention . . .

Very looong and drawn-out account of what made Jesse James a popular hero, despite his being a racist, secessionist, thief and murderer, and why Robert Ford was deemed a coward for shooting him. . . .

I remember watching this movie with my father, and him being very excited. "It's High Noon . It's a classic," he explained as he sat down to watch. I sat with him, dubious, even for . . .

Huge, sweeping story of Sir Thomas More, an English lawyer and statesman during the reign of Henry VIII. The principled More is played convincingly by Paul Scofield, against the equally believable Robert . . .

I genuinely like Bogart. He's one of my favorite actors. I just couldn't get into this movie.
I understand that it's about degeneration caused by greed, and maybe it was the mood I was in, . . .

I saw this for the first time, recently. I'd never been interested, and might not have seen it if not for my 101 Things commitment. I was pleasantly surprised.
Dustin Hoffman does a great job . . .

I think you have to watch this movie with the mindset of a woman in the 1940s. Otherwise, it's a little creepy, but not truly frightening.
The Rebecca of the title is never seen in the movie, . . .

The classic noir film, and Bogart in his signature role as the hard-boiled detective Sam Spade. A tale of theft, murder, intrigue and the legendary Black Bird.
The awesome Peter Lorre plays Joel . . .

More of a courtroom drama than an "Exorcist" type movie, the film was inspired by a true story and centers on the trial of a priest (Tom Wilkinson) whose failed exorcism results in the death . . .

I love Hamlet. It's my favorite of Shakespeare's plays, containing my favorite quote of all time. This is probably the most famous - certainly the most renowned - version of Hamlet. It's very . . .

There's a lot going on in this very busy movie. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of who belongs to whom, and how they interrelate. To give away anything would be saying too much.
There's . . .

This was the first time I saw this, and I really enjoyed it. Now looking at the cast list, I see a lot of familiar names, but I didn't recognize any of them.
The story involved three servicemen . . .
