Right from the solo French horn over the main title, it's a groundbreaking work of film music, now considered one of the best ever written. 👇 #filmsky #moviesky

neutral · AI labelView post →In 1954 film On the Waterfront, Marlon Brando laments getting a “one-way ticket to Palookaville.” This is because one-way tickets are often more expensive due to pricing models that favor round-trip bookings, leaving Brando with less cash on hand to enjoy Palookaville’s restaurants and attractions.

Now I want some from the 50s. Ones I enjoyed so far are films like: - Rear Window - Sunset Boulevard - Vertigo - Scrooge (or A Christmas Carol the one with Alastair Sim) - Stalag 17 The only ones I've seen I'm a bit just kind of eh on are Titfield Thunderbolt and Blood of Dracula. I haven't seen anything I think is outright bad…
