Watched Midnight Express, very engaging and harrowing (difficult o sympathise with the lead character initially though), fast storytelling and good soundtrack. One to keep!

Tried Road to Perdition for the 3rd time, couldn't make it past the hour mark, to say it's slow paced is an understatement.

Watching Marathon Man, very good though not a film you can turn away from. You have to watch every detail, character. Most likely a keeper!

On a side note, I wanted to try some older comedies with Audrey Hepburn & Marilyn Monroe, can anybody recommend the best ones?

I still haven't got around to 'Breakfast at Tiffany's" but everyone seems to like that Hepburn film, i haven't seen much of her stuff.

I would say that you should watch "Wait until dark" though with her in, a film i really like with her as a blind woman being menaced by a couple of villains in her apartment.

Talking of apartments, have you seen "The Apartment"?, that's a really good 60's comedy with Jack Lemon and Shirley MacLaine in.

And talking of Jack Lemon, him and Tony Curtis are really good in "Some like it hot" with Monroe, i can vouch for this as i really liked it.

Yes, it's one I have never seen either.

I heartily second these suggestions (especially The Apartment).

It's considered very controversial and offensive nowadays, due to Mickey Rooney's portrayal of Mr. Yunioshi in yellow make-up, thick spectacles and comedy teeth

Just watched Easy Rider, amazing film, truly original, foreshadowing stuff like Slackers and Clerks (but obviously E R has lots more political undertones and a dark focus), also the documentary Shaking the Cage is one of the best ever, honest, funny, insightful, you won't believe how they made this movie! 10\10

Sabrina (1954) ? This was remade later with Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond.

Charade? This is a more mystery/thriller/comedy though,There are some truly awful transfers out there so be careful with this one.

The Hurt Locker. Amazing movie about bomb disposal experts in Iraq, very good portrait of the kind of people who do this job. Best director oscar well deserved!

Watched Detroit, interesting although overlong, sadly not one of the "films of the year" the reviews would have you believe.

Disney's Snow White-watched it for the Argento connection, hoping to enjoy it as a great film but found it massively slow! Lots of cooking, housework . & singing, sadly not my cup of tea, only really liked the evil queen bits!
IMHO: Not a classic.

Next up=Zero Dark Thirty
