I took a spill today in the parking lot of the local library. Tripped on the car park pier, and went down, flat on my face! Down goes Frazier! I thought of this scene (at :30 second mark) immediately, and couldn't stop laughing at myself. If only I had a cute little Asta to blame it on..

Seeing the Robin Ellis and the Europeans tonight put me in the mood for Poldark.

Just a scene:

I never liked soap operas, but I liked this series.

I know full well that Inherit the Wind is complete and total ******** as far is it purports to be a deptction of the Scopes trial, but Mr. Tracy rocked this scene.

"Fanaticism and ignorance is forever busy, and needs feeding."

Truth.

Edit: On second thought, "ignoance"is rarely busy and doesn't need feeding. It just sits and watches. Fanacticism does require a sprark now and then.

Since threre is no "thank you" button to click, I'll just sign in and type, "Oh hell yes!"

What a movie. Thank you, CBL

PS - I have to say I truly prefer the original cut to the "director's cut." Directors contributions tend to be over-emphasized among film biffs for some reason. Editors deserve praise, too.

Cinema Paradiso is one of my favorites.
Salvatore falls in love with the lovely Elena, but her beauty renders him too shy to speak. It is funny, sweet, sad, triumphant.

One of the sweetest moments in the film starts at the 9:00 mark:

Another favorite scene a few minutes later from Cinema Paradiso. This time, Salvatore discovers the art of manifesting his dream.. Elena. starts at the 5:00 mark:

How many times have you been in a tough spot and asked, "Where is B Company?" I mean, really. Where the HELL is B COMPANY?

Well CL, that was . . . enchanting.

I hadn't heard The Pastoral since probably college and I'd forgotten how good it really is. I've never seen Fantasia all the way through. And those centaurinas! Oh my.

I wish my granddaughter were here to sit in my lap and enjoy The Old Mill with me. Maybe at Christmas.

I was thinking of putting up a war scene but suddenly I don't think so.

Thank you.

Not just clips, but whole cartoons tonight. Something for children who maybe frightened of Thunderstorms. A way to cope, through the charm of Walt Disney.

"What was I supposed to do?! Call him for cheating better than me in front of the others?!"

That one is near and dear to me, PT. Thanks.

I'll have to remember that line, LuckyDan--"male chauvinist pygmalion"--good one! Speaking of male chauvinist pygmalion scenes, I forgot to tell you--I really, really, really loved your choice of the "Get Thee to a Nunnery" scene from Branagh's version of Hamlet. Yeah, I'd LOVE to see that on a big screen too. It's my favorite movie version of Hamlet. Why? Because it's a MOVIE instead of a filmed play. The colors, the visuals, the music, the silent moments. OH, man! And the scene you posted is one of, if not the most, powerful scenes in the movie. The look of sadness on Hamlet's face when he realizes he's being spied on. If words were notes, we're all listening to Justin Bieber & Shakespeare's over there being effing Charlie Parker.

Excellent selections, Fred. Thank you, sir. I always enjoy and learn from anything you have to say.

PT, I swear I thought about posting Irene's pic from TAT in the "favorite dresses" thread. Her character in that scene is beautifully played. And she appeals to the male Chauvinist Pygmalion within me. How I'd like to have met her.
