It's a massacre of available older streaming titles this month although there aren't very many major titles among them. [Disclaimer: Netflix hasn't announced yet so all of these titles are Amazon Prime but bear in mind that the Amazon Prime titles are not "official". They don't ever publish that list much to the frustration of their customers! So this info gathered from users about expiration notices they've seen on their personal watch lists. Sometimes it changes abruptly.
Let's play our game where we freeze frame them at very random places and see what pops up. Okay? Okay.
Mrs Doyle: I'd like to see that file.
Police Inspector: I'd be very happy to show it to you.
Crime of Passion (1957)
My god Barbara Stanwyck's voice. It gets me every time. Everything sounds so subliminally erotic. In this one she's married to a detective but bored into ambitious dangerous action.
Five more after the jump...
-Is it hot out?
-Boiling.
La Piscine (1969)
You've just seen it's remake A Bigger Splash so why not see the French original with smoking hot Romy Scheider & Alain Deloin?
Everyone loves you because you make it look effortless. And we both know how hard it is.
The Ides of March (2011)
Hmmm. That line of dialogue describes Ryan Gosling's big screen allure quite well even out of context. (This movie vanished from memory quickly, huh??)
Dad: I never expected anything like this.
Son: Two women lived here before we did and... uh... we haven't had a chance to change it yet.
Mom: But where does Elliott sleep?
The Gay Deceivers (1969)
Good lord. I've never heard of this movie but in this scene a young man is showing his apartment to his parents, he tries to avoid the bedroom but they push their way in. They're very confused by the art (naked men) and the color (pink). There is so much ridiculous stereotyping (I must watch). Enter a boyfriend so flaming he makes Paul Lynde's act on Hollywood Squares at the time seem butch.
So tell me - where are the gods now? Where are they?
Agora (2009)
Oscar Isaac with long curls. Rachel Weisz is just out of frame here as a famed philosopher. Have any of you seen this? It barely registered at all in the US in its time (2010).
Alma: God will punish you!!! And I will punish you, too. I'll take your cigarettes away. And I will give you no more ice cream!
Summer & Smoke (1961)
LOL. I love Una Merkel's expression when she loses ice cream privileges. Both actresses were Oscar nominated for this movie. True confession: Though I am a Tennessee Williams super fan I really don't like Summer & Smoke and I think Geraldine Page is actually terrible in it. Strangely, she was also nominated for another Tennessee Williams movie the following year Sweet Bird of Youth in which she gives arguably her all time best performance, sooooo.... you lose some / you win some when you take on those giant female leads in Tennessee's pantheon.
