This evening's viewing distraction: a revisit to Coppola's remarkable Apocalypse Now.
That opening alone is still an amazing bit of cinema, the jungle view erupting into flame as the Doors play, the helicopter sounds seguing into a roof fan in a hotel... Genius.

This is a candidate for one of the best films ever produced. It is worth watching on your next classic movie night.
The Wind and the Lion | Full Movie with Sean Connery
https://youtu.be/D-In3mEfBxg
This movie was filmed before the normalization of brainless Hollywood portrayals of all foreigners as mindless drones. It showed an era of mutual respect and honor codes between adversaries instead of jingoistic 'light of the world' self-worship.
No spoilers. It is too good for that.

Check out today's morning film photos: Three photos of Cortijo del Fraile, famously featured in the Clint Eastwood Classic "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly"
The Cortijo del Fraile, an imposing building (now in a dilapidated state) is in a remote location near a small village called Los Albaricoques, Almeria, Spain. It has been used as a set for several films over the years, including the Clint Eastwood western classics The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and For a Few Dollars More, as well as some Italian westerns and a couple of Spanish TV dramas.
Explore the exact GPS location of this famous spot here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/36.865809,-2.07462
For all photography enthusiasts, here are the technical details:
- Camera: Nikon F, Lens: Nikkor f3.5 35-105mm zoom, f11, 1/250 sec, 80 ISO
- Film: Kentmere 100, Developer: Spur Acurol-N 1+70

Absolutely loved Grace Kelly's performance as Lisa - such elegance and determination. The way Hitchcock builds suspense in that confined flat space is pure genius. Who knew a courtyard view could be so thrilling?
Coming tomorrow: Poll for our next #MovieClub pick! Stay tuned to vote for our next classic to discuss.

Hi there! Finally made the leap to Mastodon! I'm a cruise line concierge who spends my days plotting amazing port adventures for guests (dream job, right?) and my evenings either tangled up in knitting projects or curled up with my pups watching old Bette Davis films.

This evening's viewing distraction: going old school with Where Eagles Dare. Haven't watched this in years, but cropped up on BBC iPlayer, so an evening with Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood and not forgetting an appearance by Hammer Queen, Ingrid Pitt (who I once had the pleasure of hosting for a book launch) too.

This evening's viewing distraction, a #Christmas classic, the original Die Hard.
Opening is so peculiar to modern eyes; he carries a gun on the plane, lights up a ciggie inside the airport. The past is a different country...

Putting on the Ritz!
Meeting chums for an anniversary screening of the fabulous Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks.
So much better seeing it in a cinema with an audience. First watched this with my dad, way back in the Long Ago, on Betamax from the video rental place.

Day off tomorrow and planning to go catch the new Beetlejuice film, so this evening's viewing distraction is the original. Still fabulous.
