And talking about Alfred Hitchcock, do not forget the homage High Anxiety by Mel Brooks.

Just re-watched The Time Machine (1960) on FilmStruck and so re-read the Wells short story. Overall, the film is better. Many extra little touches such as the candle burning down, the manikin's style changes, the 1966 3rd World War and, of course, the love story. Wells took the bleak outlook for human-kind a bit further and Weena was more like a child than woman. But the film's final "Which three books would you take?" is classic. |

When I was watching movies more than reading books, I understood that the movie Die Hard was an adaptation of Nothing Lasts Forever. Another adaptation was Forrest Gump.
As for Odd Thomas, the actor playing Odd died in a freak accident at the age of 27, and the studio has not showed interest in a sequel. |

There is also Free Classic Movies which has a very large number of PD films for free watching/downloading.

Right now, I have about 80 movies on my watch list including a lot of Bogart, Cagney and John Wayne. I have quite a few of them on DVD or Blu Ray, but streaming is more convenient. The first six months, I watched mostly Japanese samurai movies, since it was mostly that and obscure European flicks. |
