A Tree Grows In Brooklyn (1945): I've seen parts off and on the last few months and finally caught it at the front the other day. One of my favorite old movies ever. One of those great movies based on great literature like To Kill A Mockingbird.
Irma La Douce (1963): I love young Shirley Maclaine and Jack Lemmon is awesome. It's a Billy Wilder movie, whom I love as a director as well. Great, funny flick. Shirley Maclaine plays a hooker in 19th century Paris who gets knocked up by Jack Lemmon.
On The Waterfront (1954): I've been trying to see this forever so I broke down and bought the dvd recently. Shit, this movie rules. It's a great movie for a double feature with Scorsese's Raging Bull. On the Waterfront is like a Scorsese movie made way before Scorsese made movies. Marlon Brando was amazing in this; Eva Marie Saint too.
Speaking of Scorsese, I also recently watched Taxi Driver, which I haven't watched in a long time. Everyone knows that movie is awesome though. I picked up Mean Streets too. It's really good, but not as good as Scorsese's great movies (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Casino).
Miami Vice: I rewatched this the other day (the unrated cut). I think this movie is criminally underrated. Great flick.
