positive · AI labelView post →#watched BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK (1955) Racists hiding a dark secret get riled up when a mysterious stranger shows up in their rinky-dink town asking questions. Alas, racists are like cockroaches. Can't seem to get rid of 'em.

positive · AI labelView post →BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK 1955 Remember when this great movie exposed the ugliness of bigotry in the US, especially in the south, and then we did nothing about it for 70 years except put that hate charge of everything? #JohnSturges #SpencerTracy 🎬
positive · AI labelView post →Bad Day at Black Rock (John Sturges) love the blocking in this movie, so geometrically precise. Everything is enclosed in these constricting angles, great stuff
positive · AI labelView post →Also great in Bad Day At Black Rock!

A nod to Spencer Tracy's birthday, rewatching Oscar nominated role in tense classic. Why doesn't anyone visit Blackrock? When Tracy does, standoffs will be had & secrets revealed. #filmsky 📽🎥🎞🎬

neutral · AI labelView post →This postwar western noir moves like greased lightning and to this day, it's still extremely prescient with its themes of bigotry and corruption. Bad Day at Black Rock is a damn great movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Started watching Bad Day at Black Rock and in the first five minutes got that delicious electric shock of recognition that what’s about to follow is going to be a REALLY good movie. It’s a very specific and very delightful feeling.
positive · AI labelView post →Reminds me of this book I had as a kid, The Dynamite Kids' Guide to Movies. Bad Day at Black Rock! Jean Cocteau! Fantastic Planet! Two movies I've never even heard of outside this book, The Outsider and The Red Tent!
neutral · AI labelView post →Bit of a travel theme. All pretty fun, Bad Day at Black Rock is pretty crazy for a movie as old as it is. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched
positive · AI labelView post →#nowwatching Bad Day at Black Rock.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Bad Day at Black Rock (1955), a film noir movie by way of a revisionist Western. The ending is a bit too convenient, but the sense of tension is palpable as Spencer Tracey plays a disabled WWII veteran who wanders in and tries to get to the bottom of a small town's dark secret.
neutral · AI labelView post →Great movie. I remember watching it as a teen over two nights, because the network showed it in two parts. Sturges also made “The Magnificent Seven” and one of my favorite Spencer Tracy movies, the noir western, “Bad Day at Black Rock.”
positive · AI labelView post →Paused and unintentionally captured this utterly beautiful image (so perfectly composed it could be a cross-fade) in BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK (1955).
positive · AI labelView post →Now watching Bad Day at Black Rock
neutral · AI labelView post →I thought Mr Roberts was neither a great movie or a terrible one. It didn’t deserve a best picture nomination over gems like East Of Eden and Bad Day At Black Rock
neutral · AI labelView post →Bad Day at Black Rock: Tracy leads a brilliant cast in this economic and cynical story of paranoia and quiet guilt. The town as purgatory. The wide expanses are incredible adding to the desolate feel. Brennan the beating heart, Jagger as sheriff the MVP. Loved.
positive · AI labelView post →Ironic, that he was the voice of reason in that brilliant, anti -racist film, 'Bad Day At Black Rock'.
neutral · AI labelView post →Sturges worked on: MYSTERY STREET BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK GUNFIGHT AT THE O.K. CORRAL THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN THE GREAT ESCAPE ICE STATION ZEBRA ...to name a few. #TCMParty #FatCity
neutral · AI labelView post →Among many others, I wish Thelma Ritter had gotten every award for 'Pick-Up On South Street', Eddie Robinson, for 'Double Indemnity', Samuel L. Jackson for Pulp Fiction'. Spencer Tracy, for 'Bad Day At Black Rock' & Sissy Spacek, for 'Badlands'...

neutral · AI labelView post →@georgetakei.bsky.social have you seen Bad Day at Black Rock. Your comments reminded me of it and how we could use a renaissance in this kind of intelligent movie making
neutral · AI labelView post →📽️ Bad Day at Black Rock No idea how this got on my Christmas list but I'm glad it did. It somehow barely seems to pause for breath without ever feeling rushed. Wonderfully building a sense of menace throughout.
positive · AI labelView post →'Bad Day At Black Rock' touches upon how 'super patriotism' gets ugly pretty quickly...those were toxic times...these days are worse. Progress of a sort, I guess!!!
neutral · AI labelView post →Before she made her way to tv, most notably as PI Honey West, Anne Francis, #botd, played in movies like Bad Day at Black Rock and Blackboard Jungle (oh, and Forbidden Planet!)

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm woefully underwatched in the western genre, but Bad Day at Black Rock is an absolute firecracker of a movie. Huge influence on PTAnderson, too.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Bad Day at Black Rock, 1955 again, after many moons.
neutral · AI labelView post →Unknown World (1951) Terrell O. Morse (director) Sci-fi movie that plays it seriously, in which scientists try to find a habitable space inside the Earth. From the writer of Bad Day at Black Rock. And director of the American scenes from Godzilla. 📽 #PsychotronicPsunday #Filmsky #SeverinFilms
neutral · AI labelView post →1: “BAD Day at Black Rock. An unknown stranger comes to a small town and is distrusted by the citizens. That’s also the first Rambo movie, am I right? Tense and atmospheric, 82 minutes long and barely any fat in the script. Spencer Tracy turned out to be a kinda badass, which I wasn’t expecting
positive · AI labelView post →Next move will be erasing the Go For Broke movie from all around the net and thereafter Bad Day at Black Rock with Spencer Tracy...🤦🏻♂️😡
neutral · AI labelView post →Another classic #movie… and like Bad Day at Black Rock deals with social issues that would get it called “woke” today. With Bad Day it’s anti-Japanese racial violence, with Gentlemans Agreement it’s antisemitism. And neither #film shied away from their views. #watchingtonight #filmsky
