November 2017 50 Movie Challenge: Decades

[kingdoxie]

November Theme: Decades (25 movies)
For November, the focus is decades. This can be as general as "1950s" or more specific such as "1950s film noir", "1950s Sci-Fi", or "1980s action", just get creative. The goal is 5 categories of 5 movies each but you can divide up your 25 movies however you want.

November Recommendations Category: Crime/gangster (5 movies)
5 movies you haven't seen before from the titles recommended by other members. In your initial tracking post, everyone list 5-10 crime or gangster related films that you think others may not have seen and may enjoy. Then for the ones you watch for this category, mention who recommended the film in your post.

November Featured Category (optional): Foreign/International (5 movies)
These can be either foreign language films or English language films produced and filmed outside the U.S. (Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc.)

Remaining Categories: Member's Choice (15 movies)
Your remaining 15 movies can be put into whatever categories you want. You can substitute the crime, foreign, or one of the decades categories to Member's Choice if you want for a total of 20 movies.
___________________________________

The Usual Fine Print:

• 50 movies is the goal, but based on your own time and situation you can shoot for more or less, so we have different levels from Coal to Platinum:
  60 Movies - Platinum
  50 Movies - Gold
  40 Movies - Silver
  30 Movies - Bronze
  20 Movies - Copper
  10 Movies - Coal
  <10 Movies - Why are you on this site?
• If you're going to re-post your entire list every time, please hide it under spoiler tags.
• If you're going to post pictures for the films (poster art or Blu-ray covers, for example) please try not to use GIANT pictures, and if there are tons of them, again - please hide under spoilers.

Al's Crime Movie Recommendations!

[cinemaphile]

My Crime Recommendations:



* I know most people have probably seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (and most of the others), but I saw it was coming to Amazon Prime for November and had to recommend it in case anyone hasn't yet.
* I had In Bruges on my list of recommendations, but realized I already rec'd that one earlier this year. I still highly recommend it!
* I also had Sneakers on there, but saw someone else recommended it already. I whole-heartedly second that rec!

* Available on Amazon Prime: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
* Available on Netflix (US): I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore
* Available to watch free on Tubitv.com: Suicide Kings

Duel (1971)/The Sugarland Express (1974)

4/5 4/5

first time viewings

These two made for a good double feature. I watched them from the Steven Spielberg Director's Collection set that I just got yesterday.

Duel is a really nice thriller and Spielberg's first film.

I was surprised I wasn't familiar with the true story of the Sugarland Express or the film. I work in the county that this film takes place in. So it was neat seeing the familiar street signs and locales: Rosenberg, Richmond, Sugar Land, U.S. 59, Highway 90, Farm to Market Road 723, the Jester Texas State prison unit, etc. It was a mostly rural county on the far outskirts of Houston then. The area is now a large suburb that is completely developed with hundreds of thousands of people.
