I agree 66cafe. Yet the irony here is we're doing the same thing as the xbox and gameboy folks are. We're living through an electronic medium, not with each other. In our opinion, it is better content perhaps, but we're connecting with a non-human entity all the same. Surely, family interaction has changed greatly over the years for most generations, and I'd agree it's generally not been for the better. It appears we are all to blame.

Any of the good old classics. I thought that's why they're there. You can get lost in them and in another time. Best Years of Our Lives is great for that. Ditto Mr. Blandings Builds His Dreamhouse.

What're doughnuts? Here's another dumb question - Where do you get the emoticons?

Congrats to all you young people. Yea, you're weirdos. But now you've found out you're not alone. Don't worry though. We all are. I'm an oldie now (52), but I remember watching these old B&W 1940's movies even as a 5 or 6 year old. They came on in the mornings when I was growing up and they were old then. Something just fascinated me about them. I actually remember watching Cat People and being totally absorbed in it. Having an interest in these flicks will actually give you a different insight into life, I believe- or maybe a special escape from it. Whatever.

Whoa. Add Old Yeller to that. The kid got around afterall.

Wow. Nice work Sandykaypax. "Maxima kudos." It's the Moochie Morgan films that I was thinking of. I remembered something about Pop Warner football. I didn't remember that Tommy Kirk was his brother in them. Cool. Kevin Corcoran. Now you've got me thinking. Was he the kid in Circus Boy (or Frontier Circus)? Or was that Mickey Dolenz of Monkees fame? Anyway he was a cute little actor. I think he was in Pollyanna, too. I honestly don't remember him in Spin and Marty, though.

Man, ya gotta love the internet. I just discovered these TCM boards and a number of long unanswered questions have been satisfied in just a few days. Many thanks Shiloh. I think you're right. World Without End. That sounds like it. Next question - is it on DVD or tape somewhere? This would be a great week-end theme for TCM to do. 1950's sci-fi. That and a Andy Hardy festival week-end and I'm lovin' life. Yea, you're right, I'm a cornball.

I still liked them. Maybe someone can help me... there was one where some people lived underground and there were...like...caveman mutants who lived above ground and would attack them when they came out. It was either in the future on earth or some spacemen crashed on another planet and found this situation. Sorry for being so vague. All I really remember was these cave people (they may have had more or less eyes than normal humans) coming from atop the hills to attack. There may have even been one scene where their leader fights one of the stars one on one in a kind of duel. The other people looked normal and lived in underground structures. They may have even been dying out. I don't know. It was pretty bad (low budget affair) but I remember liking it anyway. I'm babbling now. Anyone remember this at all?

I was pretty young for those myself, but I do remember them. More so as late night reruns on Disney channel in the early 90's. Also the Hardy Boys adventures. Both great. There was some serial with a cute little kid called moochie as well.

Rita Hayworth! What a babe. I wasn't from that time, but she makes me wish I was. wow - what a bod - and face. Just saw that movie with Put the Blame on Mame song. What was that again?

Doh! I'm Dumb! (Next you'll be telling me there's such a thing as sliced bread.) Message was edited by: LarryDarrow52

Wow. Good memory, Jack. I see that Disney is releasing some of their old movies that were serialized on the TV show in mini-sets. Swamp Fox and Elfego Baca are 2 that come to mind. I thought that maybe Tonka had been done as well. That's right, Sal Mineo was in that. Hopefully, it will come out one day.

Sorry for the typos in the previous message. I see that there's no edit button. I never use spell check - as you can see. LOL!

Thanks to all for the replies. So...my guess is there is no *known* influence for the Mag 7 composition, right? Does seem as if it's similar to The Big Country. Metry Road, I live in NO area for a while many years ago. I have friends from "Metry" that moved to Denver later. And I had family that just moved out due to the Katrina devastation. Hope all is well in your area after Katrina. Thanks for the Ravel connection as well. The Jewish influence in developing the American ideals as depicted in film is interesting, and just a little ironic, I guess. Many times it is the immigrants who see their new country with *fresh eyes* as well. Message was edited by: LarryDarrow52

Having a discussion on another board and I'm wondering where the music for this picture came from. It's listed as Bernstein. But my question is, Was it inspired by a traditional piece of music? Ravel comes to mind. Help!

This is really a Disney movie from the 50s, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. The story of a captured Indian horse that survives Custer's Last Stand. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
