For about month now I have been massive movie rut… struggling to find anything to watch. What do you do when you are in one of these slumps!?

    Look for stuff from the past. Like have you watched Klute? Or the original Poseidon Adventure? What about old black and white films from the 40’s and 50’s? The back catalogs are where the real gems are.

      I love 40s & 50s. Huge Bogart, Cagney, Hitchcock and McMurray fan. I am open to any and all suggestions you have for that era as I feel I have watched a lot of the good stuff that’s just there for the taking.

      You may be on to something though. A Noir marathon may be beckoning.

      Even some old stinkers can be fun from time to time. Cat Ballou is objectively not a great film, but I enjoyed it recently … currently working my way through Lethal Weapon (just finished 2), which again is patchy in almost every way!

      A change is as good as a rest, as they say.

        First of Lethal Weapon 1-4 are master pieces.

        Secondly Cat Ballou was a great watch and if you enjoyed not I suggest Paint Your Wagon!

          The script, plot, most of the supporting acting, and directing of certainly the first two Lethal Weapons could have been so much better … I’m going to see how 3 does soon, though the last time I saw that was in a cinema, lol

          I’ll add Pairnt Your Wagon to the list, thanks for the suggestion :-)
