Keeper of the Flame: This was an interesting movie, rather thought provoking more so I'm sure when it first came out. I think it could have been better if directed by Hitchcock at least action wise. Interesting to see younger Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy together.

The Bridge Over the River Kwai: This movie was well made, a good plot, my thoughts after the movie were all about the strangeness of human nature, particularly that of the characters and how they should have done things different. I think it's a good sign if you're thinking about how the characters should have done things different because the movie was good enough that you weren't distracted by the plot being lame etc. I did notice though that William Holden played his standard role of cynical, playboy American.
