Fail Safe



Now there was a damn good movie. I couldn't leave my seat until it was over, and even then the ending was intense! BTW, anyone see the live action remake in 2000? (the entire movie was performed live on the east coast, then live on the west coast) Although I hate his politics, George Clooney definately knows how to entertain.

I saw the 2000 remake, good stuff.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Yeah, I thought Richard Dreyfuss did a pretty good job in the remake as the president, although he's no Henry Fonda.

I remember seeing the original as a kid and how the President's "solution" seemed so darkly "logical". I bet when it hit the theatres in '64 that audiences were left dead-silent and stunned. The Cold War was like the Great Depression, unless you lived thru it, you'll never quite "get" it.


Oh, and I just remembered a couple more of my favorites:

The Defiant Ones
Lonely Are the Brave

Good film. Unfortunately, every time I see Errol Flynn now, I picture him in that stupid "Big Daddy" pressure suit from "Dive Bomber". :lol

You can't forget about some of the old Godzilla movies though, along with King Kong and The Blob (not sure if it was B&W though).

King Kong (1933) Absolutely  :aok
The Blob was in color, but not a bad movie

As far as Godzilla movies go, Gojira (1954) and the American adaptation Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956) are great. After that, they seemed to be targeted more for kids, and just got sillier and sillier.

Great film!!  Always try to catch it when it comes on on cable.  Is sad to see all the planes going to the scrap heap that are in it.  Makes a grown man cry.
