Rewatching movies from our pasts -- still good?
Mandy21:
and the nosy boss approaching stealthily
Mandy21:
and the guys' reaction to the motorcycle buzzing by is just like Jack's reaction when he's picking up Lureen's hat and has to jump out of the way of the oncoming horse
Front-Ranger:
I was wondering when I had seen that scene before...thank you, Mandy!!

The Hustler (haven't seen it)
The Color of Money (seen it, but decades ago)
The Verdict (ditto)
Vertigo (never seen this!)
The Conversation (nor this!)
Mr. Mom (seen it, and not sure it will hold up, but one of my sons mentioned it recently and I'm humoring him).

Gulp. I've hesitated to post reviews, because I'm afraid my opinions will be controversial. So far, I haven't liked any of them, even the iconic classic beloved titles.
I fell asleep during Mr. Mom and The Color of Money. I'm going to give the latter another shot, but my 14-year-old didn't like Mr. Mom, and I'm going to take his word for it.
What's worse, I (mostly) stayed awake for Vertigo and The Conversation, but disliked them! I'm sorry, you legions of fans of both! I can't explain it. Maybe it's just me. I feel like someone dismissing Shakespeare as kind of a hack. I thought Vertigo was kind of slow-moving, and I hated the ending. And The Conversation I just couldn't get into at all.
Still waiting for verdicts on The Verdict and The Hustler, and a second try for Money.
