Lately, I got into Amazon which is great for movies. Alot of the classic movies have been re-released with all sorts of exended features on the actors, etc. I got the 2 disk version of “Dog Day Afternoon” and there was tons of stuff on it about making the movie, etc.
Lumet has always been one of my favorite directors anyhow...

Just started checking out Amazon prime. So far I like it. When I have time, I like classic movies. I really don't like any new movies. CGI nonsense. Movies today are like 80s music, and that's not a compliment. All driven by the novelty of new crap digital technology. No artistic merit. Just sound and visuals. No thanks.

"Network" is one of my all time favorites. I can watch it again and again, as I do with all my favorite movies. I've watched "Millers Crossing" (big time Coen bros fan) more times than I can count.

I love noir--anything with Edward G Robinson. I love neo-noir--LA Confidential, Chinatown. Classic gangsters--Godfather, Goodfellas. All movies that can be watched over and over.

And I LOVE 70s dystopian sci-fi...Logan's Run, Soylent Green, THX 1138.
