Re: Which movie did you last see?
I think we have the first 'Earnest' somewhere....
We've been watching the Peter Lorre Mr. Moto series. Eight of them, and we're up to # four. The first two were very enjoyable and based at least loosely on the Marquand books. The third tried to turn Moto into Sherlock Holmes, but surrounded by half-witted students, police, and mobsters. Still entertaining, sort of.

More Mr. Moto! Mr. Moto Takes A Chance (with real-life spy gal Rochelle Hudson), and the more serious Mysterious Mr. Moto. These films are only about an hour, and Lorre is always a treat to watch.

"Wait Until Dark" (1967) and "Odds Against Tomorrow" (1959) were exciting, tense flicks.

A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!

Final two Mr. Moto movies. 1938's Mysterious Mr. Moto had an actual script written by an actual novelist, plus the inimitable Erik Rhodes, stock player in so many Fred and Ginger films, AND likely the highest body count in the series. Finally, Mr. Moto Takes a Vacation, which isn't actually one. Lionel Atwill's in it too.

Tried to watch Barefoot Contessa, got bored mid point.
Watched Moby Dick. The language/ dialogue is too delicious to convert to film. Plus Gregory Peck was miscast in my not so humble opinion
