You've already seen it probably fifty times. The Marvel movies are all the same. They all have the same plot structure and story beats, the same action, the same music. They are all the same.Originally posted by crashcourse View PostComment

Please review Cleopatra for us and let us know if it passes muster as a documentary or if the almost unfathomable Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 3% is justified.

STRANGERS ON A TRAIN (1951)
Starring: Farley Granger, Robert Walker, Ruth Roman, Leo Carroll, Patricia Hitchcock
d. Alfred Hitchcock
Been a while since I discussed a classic on here. I assume most people know the basic plot. Man meets stranger on a train. Stranger proposes they murder each other's most annoying relative. Suggests it's the perfect crime as neither has any motive. Man thinks stranger is an eccentric weirdo and laughs it off. But he's very serious and lives up to his end of the "bargain" and expects Man to do the same.
This is not one of Hitchcock's better casts but Walker really steals the show (he would die just after the movie premiered). He's a psychopath but a vulnerable one as he displays unconscious guilt over having murdered Farley Granger's wife. Granger's character is a tennis star looking to escape a loveless marriage with his promiscuous wife, Miriam, who is played by Kasey Rogers and IMO another bright spot in the cast despite being killed off 30 minutes into the picture. Walker starts stalking Granger as he expects him to live up to his end of the bargain and there's a great scene during a tennis match where Walker is in the audience just staring at Granger while everyone else in the crowd is turning their heads to follow the ball.
I didn't look to see how many times this has been remade but it feels like a movie ripe for a remake. There are no iconic actors here. No one trying to replace Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly, Janet Leigh, or Cary Grant.

Haven't seen it in a while, don't think it has ever been remade. I rank it up there with ' Rope'. Walker's best performance as a murderous gay psychopath, he died soon after this movie of an OD reports he was having one of many 'psychotic episodes' he was only 32. He had plenty of problems before and after the film, he had been in prison, and mental institutions.
His son was an actor, I remember him in Easy Rider, Star Trek and many other classic TV shows, he just died in 2019.
