    It’s time to vote for the next Movie of the Month! LAMB members have submitted films, you get to vote on them and the winner will be discussed on an upcoming Lambcast show. There are four films to choose from this month, and this might be a collection of some of the oldest films championed, because the average year of release would be 1964! The poll is at the bottom of the page, but first here are the...

    The Movie of the Month for April 2023 is…

    It’s time to announce the next Movie of the Month winner! For April we celebrate a franchise, but in recent years we’ve expanded that word’s definition to include loose series based on production studios or an original film and its various remakes. For this April we had five varied options. Four of them were tradition franchises, but the winner is a remake-a-palooza, for the...

    Lambcast #680  The Bridge on the River Kwai  MOTM

    So before the month runs out, we probably should get to the Movie of the Month for March. MovieRob championed “The Bridge on the River Kwai” and hosts the show with a description of the plot and four other guests wallow in their admiration for his choice. There won’t be any surprise opinions about the worthiness of the film, but there is a detailed discussion of it’s qualities.

    In World War Two, is it a...

    The Movie of the Month for March 2023 is…

    A bunch of films won some awards yesterday, but there’s still one movie left to be crowned, and it’s only fitting that the day after the Oscars we celebrate another Best Picture winner for March’s Movie of the Month! That’s given the game away a little, as only one of this month’s nominees won Best Picture (although I believe there is still some deliberation as to...

    Lambcast #674  “The Man Who Would be King”  MOTM

    This week we celebrate February by selecting a film from the list of 1975 movies submitted by the host. “The Man Who Would be King” had been suggested a number of times but it has finally ascended to the throne for this week’s Lambcast.

    For those of you who are not familiar, the film is based on a Rudyard Kipling story, and in this telling, Kipling himself is a character, played by a hard to recognize...

Set in Central Texas, it is a neo noir with a high suspense quotient and several memorable scenes.

    Texas resident Sean Homrig was the champion of the film...
