‘Play Dead’ (1982): Cute dog & rich old dame + black magic = death

‘The Terminal Man’ (1974): Bleak foreshadowing of today’s cold, tech-obsessed world

‘Night Watch’ (1973): Classic whodunnit with a savage, bloody twist that will shock you

In honor of Elizabeth Taylor’s birthday (as of this writing), Movies & Drinks thought it an ideal time to look at her 1973 thriller from AVCO Embassy Pictures, Night Watch—one of Miss Taylor’s less-successful mid-career outings that should have put her back on top with both critics and ticket buyers.

‘The Eyes of Charles Sand’ (1972): Dark, rainy day viewing for vintage TV-movie lovers
