I need to try Titane again, the first time I watched it I thought it had some great ideas but was a bit of an assault to the senses

My Mom wants to watch The Wild Bunch and my Dad wants to watch Three Days of the Condor.

We'll watch both eventually, but I'm leaning towards Wild Bunch at the moment because I love Ernest Borgnine.

I think it's very cool (and cute) that you have movie night with your parents and you watch a bunch of classics.

I'd go with The Wild Bunch

It's been a lot of fun. They enjoy sharing their favorite old movies with me and I've really enjoyed expanding my appreciation for movies (as well as spending time with them)

Prior to this year I'd barely seen any movies made before the 80s. Now I've seen quite a few - going as far back as 1935.

Condor has been on and off my radar for a few months. Interested in your thoughts when you watch.

We watched The Wild Bunch. Condor next week.

What a fucking movie that was. Absolutely brilliant. I can't imagine how insane that must have been to see in a theater in 1969.

Strother Martin has been in quite a few of the movies I've seen recently in a great variety of roles. He's a hell of a character actor.

Watched a little over half of Klute. Coming off flat and detached too much, but may be picking up a bit. Hopefully. Please.

The Illusionist (2010). Charming so far, but I don't like the look of it. Feels like a cheap cell phone camera filter. Also not sure about the accents. I haven't even seen Jessica Biel's performance yet...
