It's not made explicit, as we don't actually see her drink her glass of lager, but the implication is it's the same lager as all the others are drinking: Carlsberg.

Jackie Brown, 1997. directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Michael Keaton, and Robert De Niro.
The film is an adaptation of Elmore Leonard's 1992 novel Rum Punch. It is the only feature-length film that Tarantino has adapted from a previous work.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...%281997%29.png
Tarantino's choice to use the 'N' word was defended by actor Samuel Jackson, who plays the role of Ordell Robbie. "Did they have another name to call the (black) people they were talking about at the time?" Jackson asks. He goes on to say, "If you're going to deal with the language of the time, you deal with the language of the time. And that was the language of the time. I grew up in the South. I heard 'nigger' all my life. I'm not disturbed by it."
Good film. Robert Forster was an underrated actor.Quote:

I was just flipping through the channels and came across 'The Fugitive' and who should be in it, but Pat Hingle. The actor whose name nobody remembers but whose face everybody knows. He was the 'standard issue, universal actor' and was in hundreds of TV and film roles. I thought he was excellent.
Here he is with Clint Eastwood.

The Outlaw Josey Wales was inspired by a 1972 novel by supposedly-Cherokee writer Forrest Carter, alias of former KKK Leader and segregationist speech writer of George Wallace, Asa Earl Carter, an identity that would be exposed in part due to the success of the film, and was originally titled The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales and later retitled Gone to Texas.
Two Mules for Sister Sara, 1970. directed by Don Siegel and starring Shirley MacLaine and Clint Eastwood.
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/..._AC_SY445_.jpg
The film was shot over 65 days in Mexico and cost around $4 million. Many of the cast and crew, including MacLaine, were stricken by illness while filming, due to having to adjust to the food and water in Mexico.
Tremors, 1990. western-themed monster horror comedy film directed by Ron Underwood, and stars Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, Finn Carter, Michael Gross, and Reba McEntire.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...cal_poster.jpg
In 2019, Kevin Bacon hinted that Tremors only made "a fifth of what the charts at Universal said it would." Its creators blamed the subpar theatrical performance on its marketing campaign; S. S. Wilson felt that the film was not well promoted once its release date was delayed, while Brent Maddock stated the theatrical trailer was "cringeworthy" and likely deterred audiences.
Tremors was hailed by critics for its diverse cast and humor. As of September 2020 the film holds a "certified fresh" rating of 86% at the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 44 reviews and an average score of 7.17 out of 10, with the consensus: "An affectionate throwback to 1950s creature features, Tremors reinvigorates its genre tropes with a finely balanced combination of horror and humor.
Good film! :)Quote:

Jason Bourne, 2016. directed by Paul Greengrass and stars Matt Damon and Tommy Lee Jones.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...%28film%29.jpg
ason Bourne became a commercial success, with a modest budget compared to its final gross. The film grossed $162.4 million in the United States and Canada and $253.1 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $415.5 million, against a production budget of $120 million.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, 2007. some fun now with the pirates.. This is the third in series.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...AWE_Poster.jpg
For a Budget of $300 million, it grossed $960.9 million at Box office. easy money eh?
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, 2003. First in the series...
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...lack_Pearl.png
From a Budget of $140m, it grossed $654.3m. Half a billion profit. no wonder they made 5.:lol:
Verbinski did not want an entirely romanticized feel to the film: he wanted a sense of historical fantasy. Most of the actors wore prosthetics and contact lenses. Depp had contacts that acted as sunglasses, while Rush and Lee Arenberg wore dulled contacts that gave a sinister feel to the characters. Mackenzie Crook wore two contacts to represent his character's wooden eye: a soft version, and a harder version for when it protrudes. In addition, their rotten teeth and scurvy skin were dyed on, although Depp did have gold teeth added, which he forgot to remove after filming. Depp also used a genuine pistol which was made in 1760 in London, which the crew bought from a dealer in Connecticut. A number of swords were built for the production by blacksmith Tony Swatton. The crew spent five months creating the cavern in which Barbossa and the Black Pearl crew attempt to reverse their curse, filling it with five feet of water, 882 Aztec coins, and some gold paint on the styrofoam rocks for more impressions of treasure. The crew also built the fortress at Port Royal in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, and Governor Swann's palace was built at Manhattan Beach. A fire broke out in September 2002, causing $525,000 worth of damage, though no one was injured.
Farewell, My Lovely, 1975. directed by Dick Richards and featuring Robert Mitchum as private detective Philip Marlowe. The picture is based on Raymond Chandler's novel Farewell, My Lovely (1940), which had previously been adapted for film as Murder, My Sweet in 1944.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ovely_1975.jpg
Critic Roger Ebert gave the film four out of four stars and wrote, "These opening shots are so evocative of Raymond Chandler's immortal Marlowe, archtypical private eye, haunting the underbelly of Los Angeles, that if we're Chandler fans we hold our breath. Is the ambience going to be maintained, or will this be another campy rip-off? Half an hour into the movie, we relax. Farewell, My Lovely never steps wrong...in the genre itself there hasn't been anything this good since Hollywood was doing Philip Marlowe the first time around. One reason is that Dick Richards, the director, takes his material and character absolutely seriously.
Absolute Power, 1997. directed by, and starring Clint Eastwood as a master jewel thief who witnesses the killing of a woman by Secret Service agents. also stars Gene Hackman, Ed Harris, Laura Linney, Judy Davis, Scott Glenn and Dennis Haysbert.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...lute_power.jpg
When Eastwood first heard of the book being turned into a film, he liked the basic plot and the characters, but disliked that most of those he considered interesting were killed off. He requested that Goldman make sure that "everyone the audience likes doesn't get killed off."
Enjoyable movie.Quote:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...y_largo432.jpg
The script was adapted from a 1939 play of the same name by Maxwell Anderson. In the play, the gangsters are Mexican bandidos, the war in question is the Spanish Civil War, and McCloud is a disgraced deserter who dies at the end.
Robinson had top billing over Bogart in their four previous films together: Bullets or Ballots (1936), Kid Galahad (1937), The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse (1938) and Brother Orchid (1940), but the situation switched for the billing in this final film that Bogart and Robinson worked together on. In at least one trailer for the film, however, Robinson is billed above Bogart in a list of the actors' names at the end of the preview, and photographs exist of Robinson being billed above Bogart on some theatre marquees. In the film itself and in posters, Robinson's name is between Bogart's and Bacall's but slightly higher than the other two. In some posters, Robinson's picture is substantially larger than Bogart's, and in the foreground manhandling Bacall while Bogart is in the background.
The film was shot primarily at the Warner Bros. Studios, Burbank, in order to keep costs down. The beach and hotel exterior were constructed on the Warner Bros. backlot; the interior scenes were filmed on a sound stage; and the boat scenes were filmed in Sound Stage 21, a huge indoor water tank. Exterior shots of the hurricane were taken from stock footage used in Night Unto Night, a Ronald Reagan melodrama which Warner Bros. also produced in 1948. Filming took 78 days.
The boat used by Rocco's gang to depart Key Largo, with Bogart's character at the helm, is named the Santana, which was also the name of Bogart's personal 55-foot (17 m) sailing yacht.
Dressed to Kill, 1980. directed by Brian De Palma. Starring Michael Caine, Angie Dickinson, Nancy Allen, and Keith Gordon.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ed_to_kill.jpg
Dressed to Kill was a box office hit in the United States, grossing over $30 million. It received largely favorable reviews, and critic David Denby of New York Magazine proclaimed it "the first great American movie of the '80s."
Little Big Man, 1970. 51 yrs old now and still top 10 in my charts. directed by Arthur Penn and stars Dustin Hoffman, Chief Dan George, Faye Dunaway, Martin Balsam, Jeff Corey and Richard Mulligan.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ilm_poster.jpg
The role of Chief Old Lodge Skins was initially offered to Marlon Brando, Paul Scofield, and Laurence Olivier, all of whom turned it down. The Little Bighorn battle scenes were filmed on location at Crow Agency, Montana near the actual battle site. Some of the town scenes were filmed in Nevada City, Montana, a town that by 1970 consisted predominantly of historic 19th-century buildings brought from elsewhere in Montana. All outdoor Indian scenes other than the Little Bighorn battle were filmed near Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Some interior and various footage was shot on Hollywood sets. All Indian extras were North American Indians, though Aimée Eccles, who played Sunshine, is actually of Chinese descent, and Cal Bellini, who played Younger Bear, is actually a Malay originally from Singapore.
Another of my favs is this.. Avanti!, 1972. directed by Billy Wilder, and starring Jack Lemmon and the delectable Juliet Mills, who had to gain 25lbs for film.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...i%21Poster.jpg
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...Mills_1974.jpg
The film is set on the island of Ischia, where some of the exterior scenes were shot, including a brief scene outside the morgue (the interior of which, as with all the interior sets, was designed by Italian production designer Ferdinando Scarfiotti), at and around the port of Ischia.
Classic comedy from 1957, with Basil Dearden's The Smallest Show on Earth, starring Bill Travers, Virginia McKenna, Peter Sellers and Margaret Rutherford, with support from Bernard Miles, Leslie Phillips, Francis de Wolff, George Cross, June Cunningham and Sid James..
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...w_on_earth.jpg
The Bijou Kinema was not a real building; both the exterior and interior were sets. The exterior facade was constructed between two railway bridges in Christchurch Avenue, London NW6, next to Kilburn tube station. A replica at Shepperton Studios was used for close-up shots and interior scenes.
The Gaumont Palace, Hammersmith in London (subsequently called the Hammersmith Odeon, and now the Hammersmith Apollo) was used for the exterior shots of the rival Grand Cinema with interiors at the Odeon in Richmond.
Back projection shots of Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, in Staffordshire were used for the final scenes in the railway carriage.
The silent film shown in the film is Comin' Thro the Rye (1923) starring Alma Taylor. Taylor is among the uncredited viewers in the audience.
Murder at the Gallop (1963) is the second of four Miss Marple films made by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Stars Dame Margaret Rutherford.

Murder Ahoy!(1964) is the last of four Miss Marple films made by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer that starred the great Margaret Rutherford.

Scandal, 1989. fictionalised account of the Profumo affair that rocked the government of British prime minister Harold Macmillan. It stars Joanne Whalley as Christine Keeler and John Hurt as Stephen Ward. Co stars Bridget Fonda, Britt Ekland, Leslie Philips and Ian McKellen.

The film received positive reviews. At the movie review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Scandal received an overall approval rating of 91% based on 32 reviews.
Dead of Night is a 1945 black and white British anthology horror film, made by Ealing Studios. The individual segments were directed by Alberto Cavalcanti, Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden and Robert Hamer. It stars Mervyn Johns, Googie Withers, Sally Ann Howes and Michael Redgrave. The film is best remembered for the concluding story featuring Redgrave and an insane ventriloquist's malevolent dummy.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...adOfNight1.jpg
Dead of Night is a rare British horror film of the 1940s; horror films were banned from production in Britain during the war. It had an influence on subsequent British films in the genre. Both of John Baines' stories were reused for later films and the possessed ventriloquist dummy episode was adapted into the pilot episode of the long-running CBS radio series Escape.
While primarily in the horror genre, there are shades of the comedy that would make the studio's name.
The Michael Redgrave part with Hugo the dummy, is one of the few really creepy things I've seen in film. It was brilliantly done.Quote:

She had a strange taste in men, which included Max McGill (Man in a Suitcase) and DCI Jack Meadows from the early "Bill" series. Oh and Bogey too, which is fair enough.Quote:

Actually it was. Montalban was tough as nails in real life apparently, the rest of the cast and the director treated him with kid gloves.Quote:

Soylent Green, 1973. directed by Richard Fleischer, and starring Charlton Heston, Leigh Taylor-Young and Edward G. Robinson in his final film role.

By the year 2022, the cumulative effects of overpopulation, pollution and an apparent climate catastrophe have caused severe worldwide shortages of food, water and housing. There are 40 million people in New York City alone, where only the city's elite can afford spacious apartments, clean water and natural food (at horrendously high prices, with a jar of strawberry jam fetching $150). The homes of the elite are fortressed, with private security, bodyguards for their tenants, and usually include concubines (who are referred to as "furniture" and serve the tenants as slaves).
Sounds almost familiar;)
Sounds a little like 'The Picture Of Dorian Gray' ?Quote:

British anthology horror film from Amicus Productions, directed by Kevin Connor, produced by Milton Subotsky and based on short stories by R. Chetwynd-Hayes.
It was the last in a series of anthology films from Amicus and was preceded by Dr Terror's House of Horrors (1965), Torture Garden (1967), The House That Dripped Blood (1970), Asylum, Tales from the Crypt (both 1972) and The Vault of Horror (1973).[
