It was adapted from the same book as the more recent movie "Red Dragon," which you may have seen.

Yeah, neither does mine, but I do so sometimes I watch those kinds of movies. I like creepy movies.

This was the one that started it....an excellent movie. Red Dragon or Manhunter which ever title you prefer.

Manhunter is way better imo. I like the actors better and I like Michael Mann's style. To each their own, though.

Not yet, but heard good things about it. Will probably watch it this Sunday as my work is screening it.

SRod321 · 10-05-2022, 10:14 PM

Shawshank Redemption, that's one of those where when it's on, you watch it.... great movie!

You are correct and I was actually referencing the fact that Manhunter was also released under the title Red Dragon before the Ralph Fines version.

Watched wrath of man with Jason Statham last night on Amazon. Pretty good movie.

That was a good one. His movie, "Homefront," with James Franco is a solid watch too. Franco's villain has a Negan-like feel.

UncleWede · 10-06-2022, 10:27 AM

Y'all made me stay up way too late last night, watching Red Dragon

And I didn't even finish.

I saw it in the theater when it first came out and it was called Manhunter.

Found this on the interweb:

Quote:

Manhunter: Why Hannibal's First Movie Wasn't Called Red Dragon.

As one might imagine, the original plan was to call Red Dragon's first movie adaptation just that, Red Dragon. That changed thanks to producer Dino de Laurentiis, a prolific producer who was involved with a lot of great stuff over his long career, but also kind of a character. When Manhunter was in production, de Laurentiis had recently produced a crime thriller called Year of the Dragon, directed by The Deer Hunter helmer Michael Cimino. Year of the Dragon was a box office bomb and received mixed reviews, but like many movies, has gained fans over the years.

Unfortunately, in logic sure to make most fans scratch their heads, de Laurentiis became worried that Red Dragon's use of the word dragon might make audiences associate it with Year of the Dragon and not go see it. According to star William Petersen, de Laurentiis also worried that consumers might think Red Dragon was a martial arts movie in the style of Bruce Lee. So as usual, the producer won out and Red Dragon was re-titled Manhunter. That's despite director Michael Mann hating the new title, as well as Hannibal Lecter actor Brian Cox. To make matters worse, Manhunter bombed at the box office anyway.

More like "Fantastic Movie".

forumlurker · 10-09-2022, 04:00 AM

I don't normally watch movies twice, but rewatched children of men last night. Still a great movie.

tranquility · 10-10-2022, 01:30 AM

I really liked Mr Harrigan's Phone, a light thriller, didn't know it was written by Stephen King.

sharkymcpeterson · 10-10-2022, 06:25 AM

Watched "memory" on Amazon recently. Good watch, also caught "no time to die". Gotta say I enjoyed that Bond movie, it was excellent.

OkieSnuffBox · 10-10-2022, 01:21 PM

Alright, cheesy horror movies the "so terrible it's great" suggestions?

Last year we watched:

Bingo Hell
Llamageddon
Killer Sofa
Velocipastor

M5Rick · 10-10-2022, 03:04 PM

Watched Once Upon a Time in the West again, some say the best western ever.
Clint's got some competition.

''You brought two too many'
Bronson had time to slot that third one still standing again, then he wouldn't have been shot himself.

stein_325i · 10-10-2022, 03:34 PM

Rewatched Airplane this weekend, still a classic and one of my favorite comedies.

How old are you actually? You know that they still make movies after the 60s and 70s, right?

Probably younger than you haha. You do know they made films before the sixties and seventies also, so get watching then.
