I watched “Crimson Tide” for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Gene Hackman was the best at playing angry old bastards. I should watch “The Hunt For Red October” and “Das Boot” too. I watched “Run Silent, Run Deep” last night but it was pretty shit for a Burt Lancaster movie. He was good though, they just gave all of the best lines to Clarke Gable who was on his last legs and looked hellish. Bad teeth.
“Glengarry Glen Ross” - 3.5/4
I watched this the other night and it was so profane and energetic that it took me completely by surprise. I’m trying to watch only classics right now and I though David Mamet should get a look in. I struggle with long winded speeches and line repetition so I’m surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did, Jack Lemmon stole the show fairly easily but that Baldwin scene is tits. I’ll probably watch that again just to feel macho when I’m drunk.
