In Cold Blood<\/i> (dir. Richard Brooks, 1967). Didn’t grab me; perhaps another time.<\/p>\n
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner<\/i> (dir. Stanley Kramer). In 1967 I suppose the subject matter was enough to carry it, but now the script is rather thin.<\/p>\n
Quatermass and the Pit<\/i> (dir. Roy Ward Baker, 1967). Fluff.<\/p>\n
Cool Hand Luke<\/i> (dir. Stuart Rosenberg, 1967). Worth seeing. The famous tagline, when it came, seemed a bit out of place; the warden says it in the next breath after ordering Luke to cease attempting to communicate.<\/p>\n
Wait Until Dark<\/i> (dir. Terence Young, 1967). Highly recommended.<\/p>\n
Batman<\/i> serial (1943). Interesting as an example of the trash they could get away with back then.<\/p>\n
Le Samouraï (The Godson)<\/i> (dir. Jean-Pierre Melville, 1967). Essentially a character portrait, but the character is a black box.<\/p>\n
Safety Last<\/i> (1923) and other short films with Harold Lloyd. Good fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
