    Forgotten early 70s heist films. Lady Ice (1973), $ 1971, and The Master Touch (1972) with Kirk Douglas. The Goldie Hawn/Warren Beatty one is good; the rest, not so much.

    I have every movie you listed on DVD. When I saw the Ice Pirates DVD at Big Lots for $3 I bought a copy for a friend of mine who had never seen it.  The other 80s science fiction DVD I watch a lot is Enemy Mine.

    Remo Williams is great!  You move like a pregnant yak.

    I saw it most recently in a theater in Providence in 2017, with Weird Al on-hand for Q&A.

    I’ve watched The Ice Pirates many, many times.  Time Bandits close behind and I did see it in the theater as a kid.

    Running your fingers over the ceiling.  Ouch.

    Am I the baddest mofo low down around this town?

    I just watched Act of Violence (1949) again the other night.

    Thank you for that.  I was just making sure it was here.

    I didn’t have a chance to go through the whole original post, but another favorite is Cajun Chef green hot sauce.  What we call the Mean Green.  Not hot at all but good flavor.  I use this at the end of long cooking dishes to brighten flavors.

    Thank you Crystal fans.  The best all around and I use several of the others often.

    Film noir triple feature.  Roadblock (1951), Tomorrow is Another Day (1951), City That Never Sleeps (1953).  Had never seen the last two.  All good.

    Look for Metzger’s Dog by Thomas Perry.  Straight crime fiction but very good. Very funny.  Metzger’s Dog is actually a cat.

    Coincidentally six movies is the plan for The Hobbit II: The Curse of Bilbo’s Gold.

    Scully!  Both of those Reiner movies have been on TV lately.

    Oops.

    Found on Youtube.  The One and Only (1978).  Directed by Carl Reiner.  Henry Winkler the pro wrestler.  Not the enduring classic you would expect.  Paired with Hero At Large (1980), also on Youtube, with John Ritter.  Explores similar themes of frustrated actors.
