Re:Re: Latest unknown fave
by Jymkata in Viewing with a purpose
"I just finished watching The Raid recorded on my dvr from TCM and I'm surprised at how unknown this great Civil War film is. It's a true story that works against usual Hollywood formulas and is beautifully shot by Lucien Ballard. If you don't know how great this cast is (in big and small roles) you just haven't seen enough older films. Recommended highly! " [More]
