> [@Budget\_Player\_Cadet](#): > > Kung Fury (1980). Just saw it the other day. 🙂 Not sure if you’re joking or not, but [Kung Fury is actually from 2015](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fury). ---

I recently tried to watch [The Naked Spur](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044953/combined) which came out the year I was born. The transfer quality was abysmal so I didn’t make it through. ---

_The Band Wagon_ - mainly because Nanette Fabray did one of the musical numbers in an episode of _One Day at a Time_ and I wanted to see how the original was staged. ---

> [@MovieMogul](#): > > Being born in 1970, I’ve seen 25 features in the cinema and countless more on TCM that fall into this category this year alone. The latest? 1933’s **Wild Boys of the Road** by William Wellman. Fantastic. My god, I cried buckets, watching that. It had a happy ending tacked on, I think, but it was so sad. We are watching Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies from the public library. Fast-forwarding a little, sometimes, through the dopey exposition dialogue. I watch Turner Classic Movies channel constantly, this is August and that means a star-a-day is featured. Watched Bus Stop, Some Like It Hot, and River of No Return yesterday! I haven’t watched any ‘new’ movies in some years, though I am looking forward to renting the recent Beauty and the Beast. ---
