I know, that we had that thread somewhere, but I couldn't find it again ... cameras in movies. I thought about a little quiz, when watching an old movie from the 60s yesterday. The main character used a modified "Pentax Honeywell" with pretty deadly functions  ;D Anybody in the mood for guessing, who used it and in which movie ? Berndt |

That would have been too easy then  ... and Roger Moore started to play James Bond in the 70s ... not 60s. It's also not Sean Connery, but as an actor ( and singer ), he is at least as famous as him, I would say. |

Excellent, Randy !!! It's from the movie "The Ambushers" ( 1967 ) Very funny BTW, how he is using this camera ( I mean for taking pictures, not for shooting the bad guys ). Matt Helm suppose to be a photographer in his movies ( even he is a secret agent as well ) ... but he is handling cameras as he would have never used one in his life ... hahaha ... he is much better in handling drinks and girls though, which obviously doesn't require much acting skills for a man like Dean Martin  But I like his movies somehow ... and his music even more. |

Hi Berndt!
I'm assuming he wouldn't use the timer for a self portrait, right?
James Coburn made a couple of pretty cheesy movies ( "In Like Flint" I think was the title) along the same lines.

Hahaha ... probably not ;D "Our man Flint" ... yeah, I saw it. Didn't like James Coburn in that one though. He is not really the "charming playboy type". He fits much better in different roles ... from my liking. But I can recommend "Dr. Goldfoot & The Bikini Machine", starring Vincent Price ... if somebody is in the mood for these kind of movies. I am, sometimes |

Anyone who likes this sort of film really needs to get smart. ;D
The best "Doctor" titled film was, for me, Dr. Strangelove.

"Calling Dr. Death" with Lon Chaney Jr. was another "Doctor" movie that was a lot of fun to watch.
It was part of Universal Studio's "Inner Sanctum" Series.
I'm a big fan of cheesy old movies ;D

Berndt, It's an odd little flick, but one of my favorites. I really enjoy Universal movies of the 30's to the 50's, the studio history fascinates me for some reason. Check out "The Old Dark House" directed by James Whale in 1932, it's fun and gets better with each viewing  Doug |

Oh another vote for Dr. Strangelove. This movie doesn't date.

Dr. Strangelove is of course classic !!! How about Dr. Mabuse and Dr. Fu Manchu ? But as somebody, who loves animals, I would of course vote for Mickeys Dr. Dolittle as well Should be the 1967s movie though. I am not a big fan of Eddie Murphy. |

Not the Eddie Murphy Dr. Dolittle - an imposter, a quack. Rex Harrison's 1967 Dr. Dolittle is authentic. I am sure his medical certification is hanging on his wall. Don't forget Lionel Barrymore's real Dr. Kildare of the 1940's and his grandson, Richard Chamberlain's, Dr. Kildare of TV fame. We must give these medics credit for all their miraculous cures.
