"Dog Day Afternoon" (1975), starring Al Pacino, John Cazale, Chris Sarandon, Charles Durning, Carol Kane, Lance Henriksen, Sully Boyar, and a pre-"Sopranos" Dominic Chianese.

Based on a real-life robbery case in a small neighborhood bank in Brooklyn, NY.

There is no background music score, but there are only two songs which are not listed in the credits: Elton John's "Amoreena" on the opening scene, and Uriah Heep's "Easy Livin'" is heard faintly later in the movie.

Directed by Sidney Lumet, one of America's most underestimated film directors. He may not have a recognizable visual style that Kubrick or Scorsese does, but Lumet gets the most out of his actors!

Some might say that Pacino should've won a 'Best Actor' Oscar award for his role. But it's hard to deny Jack Nicholson's Oscar-winning R.P. McMurphy role in "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest", which came out that same year!

"Attica! Attica! Attica!"

The Evil Of Frankenstein (1964) - The weakest of the Hammer Frankensteins but still enjoyable.

Watched this one again and my ranking goes up to a 9.5. A true classic and not only one of the best westerns (if not the best) of all time it's also one of the best movies of all time.

Singin' In the Rain(1952) 7.5/10

Gene Kelly
Donald O'Connor
Debbie Reynolds
Jean Hagen
Cyd Charisse
Rita Moreno

Stanley Donen & Gene Kelly Directors

Not usually a fan of musicals but this one was pretty darn good and entertaining. the 17 minute Broadway dance medley thrown in the middle of the movie for no other reason than what appears to satisfy Gene Kelly's indulgence is what brought this movie down for me. Though it didn't win the Oscar for best picture it is a far superior movie compared to the previous years winner 'An American in Paris' which also happened to be a Kelly song and dance vehicle.

Jezebel(1938) 6/10

Bette Davis
Henry Fonda

William Wyler Director

all in all I was pretty disappointed in this movie. I always had figured that Davis' character would be a lot more despicable than what she was.

THE WANDERERS... wow, not at all what I expected! This movie was so weird and surreal, that I felt like I was watching a David Lynch movie! I haven't quite decided in my mind, whether that was a good thing or not! It was definitely different.

I've been trying to find that movie. I watched it on HBO a few times many years ago and always liked it. The Ducky Boys were one strange bunch.

The whole damn movie was strange...! I thought I was going to watch some predictable 60's cliche ridden New York neighbourhood those were the days coming of age flick, full of ethnic New Yorker stereotypes... That was sooo not what I got! I was expecting a mix of THE OUTSIDERS and A BRONX TALE.... well, it was more like RUMBLE FISH mixed with TWIN PEAKS!
