The League of Gentlemen (1960)

This British heist movie was a twin film of the American Ocean's 11 released in the same year. For all the poster brags about laughs, my partner and I barely cracked a smile. Is that a generational thing? The screenwriters' blatant misogyny in the opening sequences dampened any enthusiasm I might have had for this ensemble caper flick. Thumbs down from me and my partner, who usually loves heist flicks. (Only one of the eight characters had severe homophobia, so there's that? Ugh.)
