I spent a lot of time in airports and on airplanes this week, so most of what I watched was what I had available on my iTunes account (and most of that was material for various vids both made and unmade).

Movies in italics I had seen previously.

The Great Mouse Detective (1986)
The Sentimental Swordsman (1977)
Stoker (2013)
Stalag 17 (1953)
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)
Puss in Boots (2016)
Shaolin Prince (1982)
George of the Jungle (1997)
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)
Double Dragon (1994) w/[personal profile] sol_se 

I also watched about half of Rango (2011) before the family Thanksgiving festivities interrupted.

Hearing Vincent Price ham it up in The Great Mouse Detective was possibly a factor in getting Disney+. I was not disappointed.

Stoker is Very Good -- properly twisty and twisted. Plus, I love any riff on Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is less good, but I give it a pass because its aesthetic is very much my thing.

I love George of the Jungle with all of my heart and it never ceases to be a funny, delightful film.

I'm confused by the naming convention on Once Upon a Time in the West. There isn't a fairy tale element in the movie. It's a very good Western, but I don't see how the title is relevant to it. Henry Fonda should not be so good at being so bad. I dig it.

ETA: Double Dragon, my movie date with sol_se
