Pale Ride - Eastwood - comming up om AMC 5:30 Eastern - 4:30 Central.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Watching that now. Another of my favorites, “Kelly’s Heroes” just ended.

[Red_Devil 232]

Yeah just watched that one also!

I love the older James Bond movies. That new fellow they have playing him looks too much like Putin.

[Migraine]

When you watch Pale Rider, think in every situation how it parallels the situations in “Shane”.

I was absolutely tantalized and mesmerized by Goldfinger as a college freshman — and I still am (not a freshman... mesmerized).

Favorite lines include: “He had a pressing engagement.” (Some set of springs and tires on that little Falcon Ranchero pickup, carrying away that 4500 pound Lincoln after it had been crushed. Did you ever think about that?)

My dad and I always get a laugh out of that.

I always thought “Goldfinger” was one of the best Bond movies but I personally liked the low budget “Dr. No” the best. Also “From Russia with Love” was also a classic.

Goldfinger did have the best theme song and Auric Goldfinger was a great villain, maybe the best ever.

BTW, that pistol Bond is holding is obviously a Walther air pistol. I used to have one just like it. It does look sort of exotic tho.

I can’t stand any Bond movie made in the last 20 years, maybe the last 30.

i was posted to fort riley just before goldfinger started filming at fort knox. saw the film at riley and when she told bond her name was pussy galore the theater went berserk. funny.

[Migraine]

I was posted at Riley right after that. I sweat so profusely there, my fatigue shirt would turn white (they used to MAKE us take salt tablets...)

[nkycincinnatikid]

Gee... Now I remember why I married my first wife.

[Stepan12]

I was a little kid when I first saw "Goldfinger"; however, the character of Oddjob scared the hell out of me. He cutting off people's heads with his hat and all.

I was so scared of Oddjob that when I went over a relative's house and my first cousin's fiancee who was a big hawaiian football player answered the door, I screamed ODDJOB and ran away, nearly getting hit by a car in the street.

My relatives still get a laugh out of that today.

"I'd say it was a 30-year-old fine, indifferently blended, sir... with an overdose of bon-bois."

[fieldmarshaldj]

"Ah, ah !"

[abb]

Not in the movie, but in the soundtrack album. Quite satisfactory!

This is my favorite piece from the OST. The woman who played Dink (Margaret Nolan) ended up doing some nudie pictures. One could say she was ahead of her time.
