Hi,
I glanced through these rather quickly. First of all I think Gene Tierney is a wonderful choice, but ...
My choice is Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca. I can't believe that no one else named her.
My second choice is Maureen O'Sullivan in either of the first two Tarzan films (OMG that little dress) or in The Thin Man or Pride and Predjudice. I don't know if anyone else mentioned her.
Rita Heyworth sure!!

Hi,
Here are my favourite opening credits.
1. Gone With the Wind ... the way thoses letters move a across the screen and that misic. Wow!
2. Touch of Evil.
3. North by Northwest / The Man Who Knew Too Much / Psycho / Vertigo.
4. A James Bond movie from the middle years, let's say For Your Eyes Only.

*** Some fills for below.
After Little Caesar, there is a scene with a man and woman in bed. The man throws a pillow at a gangster, who shoots a gun.
*** The Thin Man - scene has William Powell and Myrna Loy
A scene after Gunga Din appears to be water squirting out of the gargoyles on a castle, with all these people climbing up to it.
*** The Hunchback of Notre Dame has the gargoyles with molten lead rushing out.
Two more segements include these two guys doing splits and Astaire & Rogers dancing in a fancy, Art Deco style ballroom.
*** The two guys are the Nicholas brothers.
Also, just before the "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" segment (with the old prospector laughing), there is this guy dancing with all these ladies.
*** You don't mean Gene Kelly, do you?
After the train wreck scene, two cowboys shoot each other in the house.
*** Shane.
I really appreciate this. Thanks!
*** Your welcome.

Hi,
Yes Avalon is in it (twice I think). In the beginning after the Citizen Kane music intro and then much later on. This is one of Randy Newman's finest. I also find it interesting that he is in and his relatives are not.

Thanks for the Untouchables music answer. Damn!! I hate that film. But I knew I'd heard that music before.

Let's face it. TCM copied AMC and bought all the rights to every decent movie. Now AMC has Elvis. Fortunately when Turner bought the rights to these films he had given up the idea of colorizing them. (Thanks Marty!! Thanks Steven!!)
I don't really care because TCM does a great job and mixes up the films pretty well. But if you go back 20 years and wanted to see "Wuthuring Heights" you saw it on AMC. Oops! Get who got the rights to that film and showed it for the first time in January?
But I ddo miss those AMC hosts sometimes.

I'll take a crack at this. My answers seem just a little obvious.
1. Wuthering Heights
2. Casblanca
3. City Lights
4. Pride and Predjudice
and a lttle surprise from a modern movie
5. Emma
Those first three I pretty much cry throughout. With the last two I just cry at the end. City Lights is the only one that I pnly have to think about the end and I start to cry. There are certainly more movies I could add to this list.
There is one line in all film that gets me the most. It's where Olivier as Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights says somrthing like this. "I seems to me I have not conratulated you on your marriage. I've often thought of it." Damn.

Hi,
Great work!!!
I am inserting the music except for one, the unknown pop music. I wasn't sure what was the best way to do this so I just inserted in the middle of the list.
