  The Treasure of the Sierra Madre 1948

  ★★★★½ Watched 21 Feb 2025

  Almost perfect.
  Entertaining, fascinating, top-notch.
  Bogart's strongest performance, and Walter Huston is an absolute hoot.
  One day, I hope to insult someone, laugh heartily, then top it with a celebratory jig.

  The Big Heat 1953

  ★★★★½ Watched 10 Feb 2025

  Tough, relentless, sharp, bleak.
  First time I liked Glenn Ford in anything - he really whips ass in this one. Some moments of violence in this film are truly shocking. Gloria Grahame rules!

  Who Killed Teddy Bear? 1965

  ★★★½ Watched 07 Jan 2025

  Campy, sleazy, uneven, but fascinating.
  Black and White NYC in 1965....wow!
  Also, the songs are all great.

  The Big Cube 1969

  ★★½ Watched 09 Dec 2024

  Not as Groovy/Evil as it needed to be.
  The psychedelic freak out scenes are worth finding on YouTube. My first Lana Turner film!
