VitaminPete616

Single room movie-please return to Tarantino - The Hateful Eight - best single room movie ever

Joseph Miley

Bro if you like this aspect (one room, whole movie is just a dialogue) then you would LOVE The Man From Earth. Please check it out!

David Nettles

After reading the comments , I would just like to request In The Heat Of The Night (1967 - Sidney Poitier - Rod Steiger - Academy Awards etc. )Powerful film .

Madmanmarz1981

I’d have been denied for that jury too. How arrogant to think English is the end all, be all of language.

Tami Hart

I know you’re gonna love this!!

Tami Hart

this movie was done spectacularly

The way those towels in the bathroom work: inside is a cloth roll that pulls down and out by the foot. The back half reels up as the front half pulls down, collecting the used cloth and making it into a roll again. Once depleted, roll is taken out, washed in the laundry, and placed back clean.

Mister_Bleak

Yes, I'm aware.

Meg Geddes

There are black and white films of astonishing beauty.

Susan B

Dog Day Afternoon and Network are two of my favorites! Dog Day Afternoon is based on a true story of inept bank robbers; Network predicted reality television (and TV viewers’ eagerness to see a brutal and humiliating “reality”) decades before it came true.

Susan B

I think it's fair to say this may be a lost art. Film and photography has always been about making do with what you have, the artistic skill behind the camera comes from knowing how to make something look beautiful through the limitations of the medium. As the medium advances some of those skills fall by the wayside, although sometimes people will try to re-introduce those limitations and flaws as a means of expanding their repertoire of expression... which can have mixed results. Filming in Black & White in the age when that was the dominant medium isn't the same as filming like you would with a color camera using B&W filmstock, or digitally and using a B&W filter/overlay.

Molly McAllister

I think B

There is one thing from back then that was positive that we have lost. They fought hard. They exposed racism. They almost came to blows but at the end of the day Henry Fonda helps the last guy put his jacket on. He showed a level of class and empathy that doesn't exist today among people of differing viewpoints. Sorry for all of the long posts. I've loved this movie since my Civics teacher showed it to us in high school. This is the 2nd time I've watched a reaction to this one in the last 2 weeks. For the record, a lot of those actors went on to have very long careers. The Main Good Guy was a fixture of the Hollywood elites for his whole life.

TigerMyth

I do need to clear up your misconceptions about older movies. You may see slightly more casual racism if a character is being portrayed as a racist. It isn't nuanced because racism wasn't nuanced. But.... those people are shown in a negative light. If you skip movies from that era then you are missing out on 100s of awesome moves over several decades. As you see here, these guys are painted as clowns and most in the room realize they are clowns. Sure by today's standards even some of the good guys would get cancelled but you have to look at the time and how the majority acted. You've been around Europe enough to laugh at people claiming the US is the most racist country on the planet. Tell that to an African soccer team touring Europe.

TigerMyth

Those old school hand towels in the dispenser were even more disgusting than you can imagine. They were still around in the 70s maybe even 80s in some stores.

TigerMyth

I'm a smart guy. I thought I was perceptive right up until that basketball video proved I am blind. lol. I will NEVER convict on eyewitness testimony. Our brains see what we want to see and fill in the blanks. It isn't that people lie. They simply don't always see what they think they saw. Nope. Eyewitness testimony is trash most of the time and you have no way to determine which is which. Can it add a bit to other evidence? Sure, but not much.

TigerMyth

For those folks who don't believe he wouldn't remember the name of the movie or the stars. Movies used to be dirt cheap. My dad used to tell me about seeing movies & cartoons on Saturday for a nickel. Also, they didn't have anything close to the level of advertising that exists today. Many times people just went to the theater and saw what was on the screen. Lots of times what was on the screen was trash. So it is quite possible to go to the movies back then, see something and not remember the name of the movie or the stars of a lackluster cheap movie.

TigerMyth

"I want to kill you" I've never said that to anyone and if I did, like you I would mean it. Also if someone said that to me I would take it seriously, whether or not they actually "meant" it🤔

gak9319

The guy who wanted to talk first that's Henry Fonda, his son Peter Fonda is the voice of The Truth in GTA San Andreas😃

gak9319

I've been waiting for this one. Enjoy!!

JERRY JANOWSKI

Sidney Lumet had a mind blowing run from the late 50s to mid 70s - 12 Angry Men, Dog Day Afternoon, Network, Fail Safe, Serpico, The Pawnbroker etc. Also his very last film Before the Devil Knows Your Dead (2007) which he made in his 80s is superb

Flora Smith

This has been one of my favorite movies since when I first saw it. I usually don't like b&w movies, but I forget about that quickly in this one. The dialog is off the charts and the acting is very good. It was first a tv-play and then a stage play. The movie also feels like a stage play. The older character also played in the original tv-play. You can find it on youtube.

Ruben VL

Honestly, even if he didn't want to watch the film he could just skip to the end to hear MrLBoyd's final thoughts. Instead he chose to flaunt his impatience in the comments as though it were a virtue.

Melchizedek

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned how the bigoted guy is the same actor who played the old man in The Exorcist who's always talking about going to the movies and gets the mom's autograph. Lee J Cobb is his name.

Melchizedek

Your opinions on Black and White movies previously, compared to this one.... I can only imagine that prior to now your only experience with such films were either... A) Films of the era when Black and White was all that was available, or at least was the majority, and were or poor quality. B) Modern films which used black-and-white as an 'artistic statement' and were like third or fourth pass at the idea and were only copying it without deeper understanding of how to make the medium work.

Molly McAllister

I always avoided this film because it's so old but since I love your reactions I gave it a shot and didn't regret it, definitely in my top 10 movies

Marco Ruffanzor

OK hear me out i was NOT going to watch this , not into old movies and i no MrLBoyd is not fond of white and black either , but the comments make it seem like he hated watching this or was in Pain watching it , so i had to watch him suffer and do my part !

Samuel Avetisyan

I was called up for Jury Duty and I and another prospective juror were dismissed after being asked about our hobbies and admitting we enjoyed Science Fiction.

Molly McAllister

Older movies tended to have much longer shots, so the actors had to be very well prepared.

Melchizedek

Seconding To Kill a Mockingbird...

Molly McAllister

You have George Lucas to thank for the end of opening credit-rolls in movies, these were an industry standard mandated by the studios as well as all relevant unions and guilds at the time up until the original Star Wars in 1977, and he caught a lot of flack for doing so at the time. And don't fire the sound guy, it's 1957, he's doing his best.

Molly McAllister

Came into this expecting the 1997 remake, because this is MrLboyd's channel and he's famous for his opinion of OLD old movies.... was not expecting the 1957 original.

Molly McAllister

(I understand about watching the black and white movies, but honestly, there are some good ones you might be able to tolerate.)

Meg Geddes

The last guy is just upset that he lost his son so now he see's this kid as his son and wants to get revenge on him for not speaking to him after 2 years.

EndlessRiver

I never get tired of this movie. I've been on two juries, both civil trials. Foreperson both times. Don't think I'd want a criminal trial.

Meg Geddes

You know you could probably answer that question for yourself if you gave it more than 12 minutes...

Carl Lyngholm

This is a timeless classic that was way ahead of its time and still relevant today. The way it depicts people's flaws and biases is remarkably effective. It's the fifth highest rated movie on imdb.

redhawk

Love to see you react to Casablanca, Ben-Hur (old one) and Citizen Kane. Those are some amazing classics.

Derek Leach

I made it 12 minutes.,.. was it good?

Scott Asher

What do you mean the actors actually have to memorize more than one line at a time?? omg are you saying actors today just rely purely on their aesthetics, don't have the mental capacity, and put no effort or passion into their careers Mr. Lenny?? How dare you lol

Slimsycentaur37

I go completely blind into the movies, I don't watch trailers, I don't research and I form my opinion as I watch.

Lenear Boyd

I’ve served on four juries. Nothing is scarier than a jury of our peers.

Susan B

Eye-witness testimony is as ephemeral as memory.

Susan B

May I suggest two more iconic black and white films? The Grapes of Wrath starring young Henry Fonda, not only a grand drama but sumptuous looking; and To Kill a Mockingbird, the classic courtroom drama that was controversial in the 60s for depicting racism in the South.

Susan B

I predict you’ll become a connoisseur of black and white films, Mr. B. Think of the care with which the best filmmakers designed and lit each scene so that the textures and shadows would draw us in, and things wouldn’t look flat in the absence of color.

Susan B

Dyne-o-mite! DYNE-O-MITE!!!

Mike MIchelsen

I'd love to hear how you go about choosing movies. Don't take this the wrong way, but sometimes (oftentimes, tbh), it seems like you know literally nothing about the movie your about to watch... lol... btw, that's totally cool, I just find it kind of funny.

Carl Lyngholm

Such a great film

John Dodo

im suprised ive never seen this film. Have heard good things about it.

Alyssa Dyson

Such a good movie, a classic. Can you react to Inception next. thanks

TAN

Never watched this. Heard it's one of the best films ever... we'll see.

Scott Asher

We need a black dynamite reaction!
