Mesa of Lost Women (1953)
While his guitar gently screams
It's not so much the plot, which is poor but not unbearable. It's not so much the acting, which is mostly wooden but still tolerable. It's the damned unyielding, unending, never stopping, relentlessly repeating guitar strumming. Good god, give it a rest for 5 seconds!
The Boat Builder (2017)
Simplistic with no answers
Was this an improv? The only guidance for every character in the story seems to be, "do whatever you want - there are no consequences for any action you take."
Twelve O'Clock High (1949)
"I'm kind of tired. I think I'll go to sleep for a little while."
The subtlest touch about this phenomenal tale of leadership and sacrifice is that Harvey Stovall DID remember all their faces after finding the mascot mug and returning alone to Archbury. Watching as Keith Davenport reflect as he takes off the boots he gave General Savage is a close second.
This is a story of men and boys risking their lives to prove the plan of daylight bombing. It's not directly about killing Nazis or taking back real estate. These airmen are validating a strategy with their lives. That they accomplish it is nearly obscured by the way the humanity of their hard-boiled commander ekes through despite his firm belief that it can't.
This isn't an action film, it's a character study into Savage, Davenport, Gately, Stovall, Bishop, and even General Pritchard. If you find the story as compelling as most people here, there's a wealth of information on their real-life inspirations. You won't be disappointed.
