Movie #1408 (#212 this year): La Diagonale Du Fou(1984, Richard Dembo)

Heavy handed chess tournament picture. Chess grandmasters are known to be flakey but this stretches things a bit too far. Still, it's quite entertaining.
Michel Piccoli looks quite old here but it is now 24 years later and he's still around..... and still making movies!
While looking for info on this one I found out that this picture won an Oscar as best foreign film. Quite undeserved but that is pretty much par for Oscar.

Movie #1409 (#213 this year): Creature With The Atom Brain(1955, Edward L Cahn)

This was quite a treat from Crackle. These 1950s sci-fi mini-budget flicks usually are in terrible condition when viewed using cheap DVDs like Mill Creek. This copy is in beautiful condition. However, it's still the same amateur hour quality from the cast and crew. The grand finale with a whole passel of zombies running amok might well have been the inspiration for Night Of The Living Dead.

Movie #1407 (#211 this year): The Lady From Shanghai(1948, Orson Welles)

Another movie from Crackle. Not the greatest movie ever made since there is no higher objective here than to create an entertainment. There is no enlightenment. But as an entertainment, this is pretty much perfection. Mr Welles appears to have been light years ahead of any other director working at that time.

Movie #1399 (#210 this year): Dead Heat On A Merry-Go-Round(1966, Bernard Girard)

I believe that I saw this one back 30 or 40 years ago but luckily my memory is so bad that I didn't remember a thing as I watched it today. Reasonably fun heist picture with James Coburn as the suave crook who can get any woman to do his bidding. Includes the mandatory surprise ending.
