58 of 58 · most liked firstAlthough the actors portrayed seniors of approximately the same age, their ages--from oldest to youngest--spanned over 20 years. When the film “Going in Style” was made, George Burns (born 1896) was 83; Lee Strasberg (born 1901) was 78; while Art Carney (born 1918) was only 61.
unlabelledView post →Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 💨 I ain’t watched shit this week. Going in Style is brilliant and it’s insane they tried to remake it. The Exchange is a short film from gay director Marco Berger and it’s awesome and I need a full length. It’s on YouTube.

unlabelledView post →Going in Style is a wonderful film. I love everything about it, and if you aren't giving it 5 stars you are underrating it.
unlabelledView post →Sounds like the movie "Going in Style"
unlabelledView post →Fifteen minutes of Joker, fifteen minutes of something called Murder on Approval (great title, cheapo movie, dull, Tom Conway notwithstanding), and nine minutes of Going in Style (George Burns says "shit," ha ha ha, and I'm not sure Lee Strasberg can actually act), and gave up.
unlabelledView post →Watched Going in Style the other day and he was very good in that. Surprisingly moving film. Carney and Strasberg were also great.
unlabelledView post →The weirdest casting like that is the film Going in Style with George Burns, Lee Strasberg, and Art Carney. They play best friends, but Burns and Strasberg are both old enough to be Carney's father.
unlabelledView post →Just finished Martin Brest’s Going in Style (1979). Like others, I misremembered it as an old man heist comedy when it’s really a lovely and sad film about what happens when you get old and you’ve got nothing to do with your days. “It feels funny but I get the feeling I’ll be joining you real soon.”
unlabelledView post →An important lesson in Martin Brest’s 1979 geriatric crime film “Going in Style” is that if you have a crime crew with two Jews (George Burns, Lee Strasberg), have one gentile (Art Carney), because he will have a son who has a lot of barely secured guns.

unlabelledView post →One of the fun things about being a writer: watching a movie for research. Today's movie was GOING IN STYLE, a caper movie starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Alan Arkin. I'd suggest this one for anyone who likes geezer caper movies where the old guys strike back at an uncaring institution.

unlabelledView post →The original version of Going In Style is such a sweet and sincere little movie I didn't realize how much I was going to vibe with it. George Burns is funny as hell. Lee Strassberg rocks. Art Carney is such a warm presence.
unlabelledView post →Watched Going in Style (1979) directed by Martin Brest tonight on the recommendation @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social. A wonderful heist film that casts Burns, especially, against type and displays an honest look at getting old. It was a good time, and only 90 minutes. Recommended.

unlabelledView post →I watched "Going in Style" yesterday, inspired by listening to an old @blankcheck.bsky.social ep on Martin Brest. Great, simple, small movie with genuine laughs and a few touching moments by some great actors. They remade the movie in 2017 and it apparently reeeeeeeeeeally stunk
unlabelledView post →Watched the 1979 Going in Style last night -- I'm having an Art Carney moment. What a modest, charming unpretentious movie. A "small film" from that era. They don't do that now -- or very rarely. I was utterly charmed.

unlabelledView post →It reminded me of the 1970s films, like Harry & Tonto, Going in Style or The Late Show, with Redford charming his way through the Art Carney role. A slightly sad film about a man with an obsession, but a lyrical, romantic, and occasionally bittersweet one. His last great performance.

unlabelledView post →54. Going In Style (2017) Even if it wasn’t a remake of an old film there would still be very little original in this one. That said there is just a lot of fun to be had watching Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin together. Ann-Margret and Christopher Lloyd add to the already remarkable cast.

The three leads have a great chemistry together, and the supporting cast is also great (especially Christopher Lloyd). Shoutout to composer Rob Simonsen for his very fun score.
unlabelledView post →Watching GOING IN STYLE (1979) because of @blankcheck.bsky.social. I saw this when I was a wee little man in the early 80s. I remember being disappointed because George Burns wasn't a silly grandpa like he was in OH GOD! What a little, quiet gem of a film from Martin Brest, though.
unlabelledView post →The thing about following a good movie podcast is you are sometimes completely blindsided by a kick ass movie. Just watched Going In Style (1979) completely assuming it was Going In Style (2017). One of which I didn't know existed that rules and one directed by Zach Braff.
unlabelledView post →A good comic film with four great actors. We are facing a light comedy that tries to remake a much older film that has a very similar story: three elderly people on the verge of retirement who are going to try to rob a bank. Although the film is a very welcome comedy and is not unpleasant to watch and rewatch, unfortunately, it brings to the fore a very serious problem that the USA, and other countries, insist on not solving: the precariousness in which we live when we are sick or has reached…

unlabelledView post →'Going in Style' is a fun one! I got more entertainment than I was expecting, given I had anticipated a somewhat half-arsed 90 minute comedy with potentially half-arsed showings from stars of yesteryear. Pleasantly, I was wrong. The more it went on, the move I enjoyed it. The one lame scene comes at the supermarket, but even that saves itself really with the addition of Kenan Thompson. It made me laugh at a few moments, namely with the 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial' 'homage' and when Josh Pais'…
positive · AI labelView post →In an alternative way, against all the odds, they fought it! This was a remake of the 1979 film of the same name. I haven't seen that, but I enjoyed this version. I did not say I liked, but very entertaining. From 'Grandma Gangster' to 'Stand Up Guys', there you could find a few more that all these films have commonalities. The old fellows try to do something out of their age and strength can cope. So, for fun, this film will do just fine. The poster says it all, but the film reveals much…
