O/T RIP Kirk Douglas

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

Im a real film buff, must have over 2000 DVD’s in my collection but haven’t got a single film that Kirk Douglas is in. In fact I can only ever remember watching 1 film that’s he’s in, not Spartacus, not into those biblical movies, it was something to do with a lighthouse, forget the name.

Had a good innings didn’t he? RIP KD.

The Light at the Edge of the World

Early 1970s

Lust for Life is his best one in my opinion, about Vincent Van Gogh’s life

Hey Loyal, just off the top of my head as another self confessed film buff lol...
Try watching Posse (1975), and The Fury (1978), and Tough guys (1985), for some really varied and enjoyable Kirk Douglas performances.

Cheers Acido, I’ll give them a watch. I looked at Kirk’s IMDb and turns out I have got one of his movies in my collection. Gunfight at the O.K. Coral.

Ohh yes Loyal, that Gunfight at the ok is another big legend in westerns.
And Kirk was obviously good mates with Burt Lancaster at the time as they starred toghether in it.

And they both did it again with Tough Guys in the mid 80s. Its a right giggle seeing these two elder gentlemen trying to re-live their former train robbing glory days lol.
And even the great Eli Wallach (Tuco, from The Good the bad and the ugly) is in this film.

Here Loyal is another 'trailer' for one of the Kirk films I mentioned (probable spoilers ahead though, obviously!).
And hey, lets hope we never call them movies eh, I blame that pesky Camiller for that lol. Id rather watch the dirty SheffUre Blunts than call films movies.

It was loyal who used the dreaded M word not me. Even when I'm in the car in my best singalong mode you'll hear me belting out The Drifters "Saturday Night at the Pictures" (To be fair they even call the place The Movies and reference the 'picture' they saw).
