WOW! Did you really play vigilante for a year after your wife was mugged? Guess they don't call 'em the "fighting Irish" for nothing! Nice recap of the Batman film history. I love Batman. Yes, I was young enough to enjoy Adam West and Burt Ward. I also had a crush on Julie Newmar. My preferred Catwoman of the three. Even though we both knew Lee Meriwether personally. Of course, she only played Catwoman in the Movie version of the 1966 TV show. See you round the campus!

I didn't love "The Batman" but like a lot of people, I'm utterly blown away by the sequel limited series "The Penguin," which is still airing on MAX. That show is every thing that the movie was not.

Rashomon has entered the room. Everything after this is a form of perspective: preference, opinion, bias, and prejudice. If it's Rashomon, then it's phenomenology, and you see the world through the lens of your experience which is language-based, emotionally confusing and yet still: preference, opinion, bias, and prejudice.

Thanks! Neat remembrance of an awesome show! I was a kid when PBS began rebroadcasting The Prisoner in the mid-1970s, and I ate it up! You're not wrong: some of it was pretentious--but I had no idea. This stuff really weirded me out, in a good way. Yeah, I am one of those fanboys that likes to think that Ice Station Zebra (and what did Howard Hughes think of McGoohan?) is the "missing link" between Secret Agent/Danger Man and The Prisoner--but you hit the nail on the head: some of those Secret Agent shows do foreshadow the Prisoner, especially because so many episodes seem to be about Drake being called in to clean up someone else's mess--he's a man who knows too much... Thanks again!

I saw this film once, maybe 40 years ago. I remember feeling that it was something I had never seen before. I will need to watch it again one day.

I'll have to stream this later.

Yes! A great series, well acted all around. I'm not certain what elements are based in fact, as it seems he was 5X more impactful than other notable real spies. Brilliant, ruthless, fearless and capable. Also, AG as George Smiley is my favorite as well. So well portrayed. Also great is Smiley's People. I enjoy the genre and LeCarre's books and films.

well done

can you tell something about that two big guns. How they made it ? Is it model or real ? No body tells any thing about it

I watched in1971...started then press-ups, keep fit,hung me feet out of window ....wind fwd 53 years still keép fit still do 60+ press ups... Resting heart rate 50 @. 66!!! THANX GEORDIE

A great series... and love the historical context of it.

This one I've never seen. I'll need to look for it.

Great movie. I also seen it when it was released I also like The wild bunch. Both great movies

My family always loved this movie...my mom said Lee Marvin's last line in the film was one of the best comebacks in Hollywood scriptwriting...and thanks for not giving it away!

Burt Lancaster was probably one of the best actors of the 20th century, IMHO. This film is absolutely fantastic, from start to finish.

LOL save the universe in under an hour! I love Strek. Thanks.

Nice.

Love the cutaway to “the producer”. Very funny. Getting a little political are we?😊

Nice visuals in this!

I love the Beatles. I was 16 when John Lennon was assassinated and because of his death there was a resurgence of Beatlemania in the early 80's. A friend of mine had the entire White Album and copied it to cassette tape for me. I literally wore the tapes out listening to it. For some reason I've never seen this film, or "Help" (although I saw Yellow Submarine decades ago.) I need to sit down and watch it.

This film came out when I was 3. I remember when Network tv started showing it in in the 70's. My old man was looking forward to it because he hadn't seen it in the theaters in 68 (because he was married with 2 kids then). He thought it was incredibly boring and turned it off half way through. For years I avoided it and only caught bits and pieces of it. Maybe 12 years ago I sat down and watched the entire thing from start to finish and I finally got the brilliance of it. It's one of the greatest films ever made (and yes, I'm a Kubrick fanboy) and I am prepared to die on that hill.

I actually like getting old. I can now claim the excess weight I'm carrying is because of old age.

You should always pay people.

"The Year was 1964...' A year in which I spent most of the time as a fetus 😁 I actually like this one but my personal favorite from the Connery era is "From Russia With Love."

Probably a good time to revisit this since the great Donald Sutherland just passed away recently. Personally, as somebody raised Protestant in the MidWest, who attended public schools throughout his academic life, it doesn't pack the same emotional punch for me but I thought it was vaguely amusing at the time. Granted I have seen this film since the early 90's.

All us "old" people are crazy. I'm actually looking forward to turning 60 next year just so I can prove people wrong....

Hello back from an Xer.

I have to say, I never loved this film. To me it looks like they were trying to combine "Bullitt" with other crime thrillers from the 1970's. It's a triumph of style over substance. Visually it's a masterpiece but I find the story telling rather pedestrian.

Excellent movie a must see 👁👁👁👁👁👁👁👁👁👁🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The visuals are spectacular. Dr. Kaarna I presume?

Howdy, Pard. I know. We could use more raindrops falling out this way. It's dusty, parched and brown, ready for fire. Raindrops, keep falling to cleanse us of dust, filth, corruption and lies. Rain brings clarity. The playful opening scene -- oh, it was consensual -- we understood. Whether or not our kids and grandkids would understand it is questionable, and they suffer from loneliness and isolation in our well intentioned, confusing world, where the morally bankrupt, sociopathic misfit follows a woman into a department store dressing room, uninvited and maliciously rapes a casual acquaintance, and gets off with a fine. What could be confusing about that? Let it rain. Our Butch and Sundance were smart, quick witted, handsome, and yes, they had long hair. I still do, and let me freak flag, fly. Maybe at half mast after today's Supreme Court unconstitutional, corrupt, ruling. Was it Quid pro Quo? We'll leave that to our Constitutional scholars, Justice Department, or maybe to Pemberton? They always get their man, or woman. El Niño, corporate greed, endless lies demanding that there ought'a be a law -- we've got problem 1971 audiences didn't face. Sure we had Nixon, the War, racial segregation, the Bomb and other problems. We still do, except today's bad guy is now played by a genuine autocratic megalomaniac who, if elected has threatened to be a Clear and Present Danger to our Constitutional Democracy. He makes Nixon look like a "Loser" in that convicted felon's twisted brain. Why did Nixon resign when he could have asked the Attorney General to cancel the Watergate investigation? It was a bungled burglary attempt. That's what the Republican Party would say today. The antihero with a soul and a conscience like Butch and Sundance, or their parts in 1973's The Sting are what's missing in today's Hollywood. That can no longer be done by the Hollywood CEO's and their henchmen, trained with a profit über alles perspective in every aspect of their jobs could ever risk potential income. This is the same confusion in ethics that motivates a Boeing CEO to show no remorse when their planes fail in flight, putting their pilots, flight crew, and passengers at great risk of injury and death. Safety checks cost money. There for "Losers". He must like engineers and the skilled technicians who build these increasingly complex flying machines to get it right the first time. Then we wouldn't need safety checks. I don't know, or concur with the pretzel logic used by todays business managers. Maybe the President can, as an Official act, write and executive order involving his duty to protect an American's right to safe airline travel that places the blame with CEO's when they "streamline" existing safety checks that cause more failures of their aircraft? Boeing makes many of our military's weapons, including aircraft. Is our national security at risk when CEO's change proven safety procedures when make these weapons used to defend our nation. Maybe today's Supreme ruling gives our President in his official duty to throw the man in charge in prison as an identified threat to our National Security? I've gone south, way down south in my comment today. It's 5 AM and I've not been able to calm my mind after today's loss from the Court and all the loss of freedom we've suffered in post WWII America. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is also a film about freedom. The joys of freedom, and the destruction caused by freedom used without responsibility, it's a Robin Hood story set in the late 19th century, but has lessons for people everywhere that are timeless. Thank you for your thoughtful review. Please vote 💙💙💙💙💙 this year, for America's survival and a country by, for, and of all her people.

Love this film Sidney Portier was an amazing actor with dignity and sophistication. I also ❤the Arabic hairstyles and wardrobe of Rossana Sciafono and Beba Loncar

I'm an Xer (b.1965) so I missed this in the theater but it was on network and then local television throughout the 70's and 80's, where a lot of us saw it. It's been in my collection for years, and even if you can make the case that "The Sting" is a better film, I still think this one is more fun, despite the downer ending.

Relevant now than it ever was moral of the story..Don't put your eggs into one cannister.🥚🐣

Joe thank you for your insights and your videos

The guy who monitored the radar scope with James Best's character portrayed the chubby kid janitor ("Alfred") from the 1946 Christmas film, "Miracle on 34th Street." Viva Big Rhed!

I love this movie because the castle is Turku Castle in Southwestern Finland. It's one of the oldest and most important buildings in Finland. There is no way they would be able to use the castle like this today, especially like in the truck scene. There are some scenes that were shot inside the castle too, specifically the attic of the castle.

Could you do that? You know you did as well as I. Your talking about a above ground subway L . Our playground. Don't fuck with a 1950's stop motion horny New York monster.

Hey Joe, long time no see. I can't tell you how much I loved your review of this movie. The scenes you highlighted are indelibly imprinted in my brain thanks to countless hours of watching Ch. 9's Million Dollar Movie back in the day. Watch a movie half a dozen times in one week and you'll be imprinted too !! Those were the days - thank you for bringing them back, even if just for a little while. Be well friend.

2:45 industrial slums

It was recommended but i still dont understand it

If I recall right, Jack Cardiff was also the cinematographer on "The Vikings"

Yeah, I grew up watching both of these films in the 70's and early 80's on local television. I'm not sure which one I think is better but it's interesting that half a century later, Viking themed shows and films are all the rage again. I've enjoyed shows like "Vikings," Vikings: Valhalla" and "The Last Kingdom" quite a bit recently.

I wasn't born when this film came out but I grew up watching it on local tv in the 70's and 80's. It's been in my dvd collection for at least 20 years now. I've been a James Garner fan since "The Rockford Files" debuted in 1974 and I'll generally watch anything he's in.

I absolutely LOVED this movie when I was a little kid. I didn't love it with the passion that I had for Forbidden Planet, but it was exotic and loads of fun. Sidney Poitier made an incredible impression on me. I was in a remote, subarctic Canadian town, and had never seen a Black person. I became fascinated by the Moors, and then read a lot of West African history.... which culminated, when I grew up, in some time spent visiting several West African countries and even reaching fabled Timbuktu. As for the Vikings --- well I also fell in love with Iceland, which I ended up visiting three times. But that wasn't because of The Long Ships. It was because of Journey to the Center of the Earth. The kind of "entertainment" I experienced with movies as a child actually shaped my life.

Savalas did a good job!

Frankenheimer!! Great director. Great movie.

I so wanted to see this movie on the big screen but never did. I, too, loved "Secret Agent'' and having McGoohan play the spy was God's gift to 15 year olds.

Been on my Prime Video watchlist for about 2 weeks. Didn't realise that Frankenheimer was the director. Von Ryan's Express - meh.

Good movie, Burt is so great in everything, those hostages getting shot stuck with me, just thought it was disturbing, one of my earliest memories of a theater experience was Bridge on the River Kwai, I remember leaning my head out in the aisle because I couldn’t see over who was sitting in front of me, but I remember the train falling into the river, those movie posters you showed are amazing, true art , thanks
