    I am a big fan of the Dollars trilogy.

    I have an app called Classix on my Apple TV that let’s me watch very old and public domain movies from the early days of cinema. It was only a one time fee of $2, so it’s worth it if you want to see the original deep cuts. Mind you the movies are both poor quality and were likely never popular.

    I knew the movie was racist but not that racist.

    WOW!

    No wonder it's so beloved by some.

    Damn that was a long time ago.
    It is good to know and understand that time period.

    Dude I don't trust the historical knowledge of the youth today, if you ask them who Franz Ferdidand was, they would say you don't know and to take them out

    A great and very underrated movie is Predator 2

    Think about it

    A Black Cop from Los Angeles saves the world from a Hostile Alien with advanced weapons
    who's killing any Los Angeles resident who's armed. That also shows that the Alien has a moral code better than humans in someways cause he doesn't kill unarmed beings.

    I only made 10 seconds in and had to stop.

    Who thought this was a good idea?

    This is pretty tone deaf that's not what anybody wants or needs.

    Only to increase the revenue of Amazon's

    HBO removes movie PUBLICLY so people WON'T WATCH IT
    only to RENEW INTEREST in movie
    So people will watch it ON ANOTHER PLATFORM




    PS, oh good job HBO!!

    Just checked out the movies section for iTunes, guess what you made the #1 movie??
    @Os Trigonum

    what a bunch of geniuses HBO, you basically made this movie way more popular than you want it to be

    I think WarnerMedia knows that people know movies get added and removed from cable and streaming networks all the time, without a press release to get sheltered suburban gen-Xers and elder millennials riled up.

    HBO wins - builds recognition for HBO MAX as well as gives a tip of the hat to the cause.
    Time Warner wins as people are paying money for a movie they wouldn't otherwise.
    AT&T wins because it owns both companies.
