This is a wonderful idea for a thread, filmlover!
And only a quarter for the early show!
FYI: Paul Revere Williams created several homes for film stars as well as a memorial
for Al Jolson!

This has been the greatest New Year's for marathons...I've been flipping back and forth to Twilight Zone, Wagon Train, and some others!

After that Marx Bros. marathon, I just repeated my New Year's Resolution to myself,
I am going to make sure I take all my meds on time. Anybody else feel that way?

I danced to all of those catchy tunes and had so much fun! I miss my platforms.

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!

*Cry of Jazz* is a film by Edward O. Bland, a polemic essay dealing with the politics of music and race, and featuring "Sun Ra and His Arkestra."
I haven't ever seen *Cry of Jazz* in its entirety, but here is a short clip:

> I love TCM and want to express appreciation for the channel and the folks who work at it. Lately, there are posters who feel obliged to berate the channel at every turn, and are combatant when others express a valid positive opinion on TCM.
Jack Favell expressed my feelings completely.
And I am very sorry for your loss, Renee. Please accept sincere condolences. Several popular posters here at TCM City have lost one or both parents in the last several years. When it occurs during the holidays, sometimes it makes it more difficult to deal with. My prayers are with you.

I was happy to see *Airplane!, All The President's Men, The Pink Panther,* *THX 1138*, *Malcolm X*, and the original *The Front Page* on the list.

I just wondered if there were any comments about this new article on TCM UK:
Today the US National Film Registry and the Library of Congress announced its annual list of another 25 films to be added to its vaults, ensuring their protection forever.
As ever, it?s an eclectic bunch, with choices ranging from an experimental 1891 production, ?Newark Athlete?, through to John Huston?s controversial WWII documentary, ?Let there Be Light?, as well as two very different George Lucas films ? a student short from 1967, ?Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB? and the ?Star Wars? sequel, ?The Empire Strikes Back?.
Also included are the late Blake Edwards? 1964 comedy caper, ?The Pink Panther?, which marked the first appearance of Peter Sellers? Inspector Clouseau ? and another classic comedy featuring the also much missed Leslie Nielson, ?Airplane!? from 1980.
The 1976 political thriller, ?All the President?s Men?, starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman also made the cut; as did William Friedkin?s seminal 1973 horror, ?The Exorcist.?, along with Robert Altman?s 1971 Alt-western, ?McCabe and Mrs Miller,?.
Spike Lee?s 1992 biopic of the civil rights leader, ?Malcolm X? will also be entering the vaults, along with John Travolta?s star making turn in 1977?s, ?Saturday Night Fever?.
Members of the public can nominate films throughout the year. A shortlist is then finalized, from which members of the Preservation Board pick 25 movies to be archived.
"As the nation's repository of American creativity, the Library of Congress ? with the support of Congress ? must ensure the preservation of America's film patrimony," said James H. Billington, the Librarian of Congress. "The National Film Registry is a reminder to the nation that the preservation of our cinematic creativity must be a priority because about half of the films produced before 1950 and as much as 90% of those made before 1920 have been lost to future generations."
The Library of Congress also urges people to visit the website and vote for 2011.
The full list of movies picked this year is:
Airplane! (1980)
All the President's Men (1976)
The Bargain (1914)
Cry of Jazz (1959)
Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB (1967)
The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
The Exorcist (1973)
The Front Page (1931)
Grey Gardens (1976)
I Am Joaquin (1969)
It's a Gift (1934)
Let There Be Light (1946)
Lonesome (1928)
Make Way for Tomorrow (1937)
Malcolm X (1992)
McCabe and Mrs. Miller (1971)
Newark Athlete (1891)
Our Lady of the Sphere (1969)
The Pink Panther (1964)
Preservation of the Sign Language (1913)
Saturday Night Fever (1977)
Study of a River (1996)
Tarantella (1940)
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945)
A Trip Down Market Street (1906)

Ranch hands are always so helpful....

I am definitely bringing some themed outfits for the Spring Fling.....

I would enjoy seeing Dena Kaye, Danny's daughter, introducing one of her father's films.

Kingrat, It's never too late to talk about Ava!!
She did look gorgeous in *The Naked Maja*. Tony Franciosa didn't have much else on his mind, either... I think Shelley Winters finally showed up and had to rescue" him from Ava before.
But Ava's finest roles in *Showboat*, *Mogambo*,and *The Night of the Iguana* show that she, indeed, could act, and was more than just a "beautiful animal."

I would love to see "Look For The Silver Lining" again!
Great ideas, lzcutter!
