Well, I’m watching it on Prime Video. It’s a $4 rental.
Anybody know of a way it can be watched free? |

Public libraries often have these on DVD and Blu-Ray. Often these are part of collections which have other Classic Horror movies.

Bud Abbott Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein 1948 1 - YouTube EDIT: Just started watching -- It is mistitled and is really a movie called "It Ain't Hay" with Abbott & Costello. -- Don't bother it is not what it claims to be.

Most everyone has TCM (Turner Classic Movies), I have on my DVR right now from TCM:
"Dead Ringer" with Bette Davis, "To Have and Have Not" with Humphrey Bogart, "Dr. Strangelove" with Peter Sellers, "Niagara" with Marilyn Monroe, "The China Syndrome" with Jane Fonda and Michael Douglas, "Suspicion" by Alfred Hitchcock, "It's Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" with everybody, "Dog Day Afternoon" with Al Pacino, "Casablanca", "The Maltese Falcon", "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre", "Sahara" all with Humphrey Bogart, "Chinatown" with Jack Nicholson (my favorite movie), "12 Angry Men" with Henry Fonda, "Heaven Can Wait" with Warren Beatty (my 2nd favorite), "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" (avoid the remake with John Travolta), "In Cold Blood" with Robert Blake, "North by Northwest" by Hitchock and "Bullitt" with Steve McQueen. |

Vertigo was quite good. Saw it at the 2018 FrightFest Hitchcock festival last year at the Rialto. They did have a few Hitchcock movies that were far from his best though-- Rope and Marnie come to mind.

A couple of years ago the British Film Institute picked Vertigo as the best film ever replacing Citizen Kane on their list. I've seen Vertigo about 15 times, currently it hasn't been on TV lately to record, otherwise it would be on my list.

Frankenstein (1931)
Frankenstein (1931) - Rotten Tomatoes Very enjoyable. Started out fast and didn't waste time. I always like that about a movie. It actually slowed a bit in the second half, even though overall it's a fairly short movie. Couldn't help but laugh a bit at seeing the wrinkles in the curtains forming the cloudy sky backdrop. Could be considered a bit thoughtful too. Even though the monster ended up getting a bad brain (sorry if that's a spoiler to anybody), he still seemed like he could have been a good guy if given the chance. But as soon as woke up, the mistreatment started. I felt really sorry for the monster right to the very end. One last thing, I'm a huge fan of Young Frankenstein. Watching the original Frankenstein made me appreciate both movies more. I had several belly-laugh moments seeing the Frankenstein scenes that inspired the Young Frankenstein scenes. If you like Young Frankenstein and have never watched Frankenstein, I heartily recommend that you do. PB Rating: 7/10 Last edited by Polar Bear; 10-17-2019 at 06:06 PM. |

I'll post another movie soon to focus on for a bit. Until then, anybody else have any Frankenstein opinions/thoughts?
---------- Quick note to everybody...I'm working with the Admin to see if the poll can be removed. I didn't realize it couldn't be or I wouldn't have used it in the first place. Please don't let the 'clutter' of the poll stop you from posting. Really hoping it can eventually go away. Until then, please just ignore it. |
