Love the pics, have you ever thought about going from Garbomaniac to Hedymaniac? LOL!

"The Wizard of Oz" - in "One Fine Day" with George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Come on GB, don't clam up on me now! I know you to be more outspoken than that....I'm interested on Larry's take on this one as well.

Yes! Precisely! That's the very name of the Greer Garson movie, was a good one.THANKS!

I'm sorry, this conversation turned a bit strange, I don't think that a person's bust size,hair color,or looks should be factors as far as talent,it's degrading and it's unfair.How come men are never measured by their 'size' and shape? I mean, look at nudity in movies, how come they take every chance they can to show a woman even partially nude?how come the man is so 'sacred' that he can't be shown?

Well, here's my two cents....I happen to think that not only is ET beautiful but she is considered to be one of my top five actresses.Being a beautiful women I think that she was typecast a lot.I personally can't take seeing her in "Who's Afraid of Virgnia Woolf", that's not how I have envisioned her over the years. Remember what I told you about Greer Garson playing the maid in that movie that came on with her and Gregory Peck?(Ican't remember the name of the movie),the same applies here.

Okay,I think that Hedy Lamarr is really an amazing example of beauty and elegance. I don't care if anyone thinks that sounds strange coming from a, I was going to say 100% red-blooded American woman but I will correct it by saying 50% German-American-50% Puerto Rican (which is really Spanish).I can still see when a woman is pretty, and I completely understand your FASCINATION,(that's also the title of one of my favorite songs) .

In Butterfield 8 she supposedly wasn't rolling in dough,or virtue for that matter.I don't know what the going rate was back then but she wasn't in any position to be envied.

I'm surprised you didn't notice her beautiful eyes and smile, she's radiant.She has a great personality.I just saw a great movie she did with Shirley MacLaine playing her grandmother,"In Her Shoes",you can rent it at your nearest video store.You should give something recent a try, (oops! I forgot that is actually what this thread is about, how ironic! LOL!)

Yeah! I remember that scene..and the music in the background,everything was so perfect.How about the first time Scarlett saw Rhett at the bottom of the stairs and he just stood there so sure of himself,so handsome and flirty?

GB, I'm confused, who has the good body? Apple head? LOL!!

Hello again GB....The girl from Marie Antoinette is Kirsten Dunst who also happens to be Mary Jane in the Spiderman movies, the Chanel No. 5 girl is the ex-Mrs. Tom Cruise now Mrs. Keith Urban, known as NICOLE KIDMAN,who also happens to be a best oscar recipient for the movie, "The Hours", with Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore.

My take on Woody Allen, I'm the opposite, only like his work from "Hannah and her Sisters", to present day.You have just got to see the one from last year, "Match Point", it is a thriller, intrigue movie that resembles nothing like a Woody Allen film (I don't know if you'll find that good or bad)but nonetheless,it's really good, you'll be surprised.

Hello LuckyDan! Long time no write......I'm glad I finally found someone who likes "The Royal Tennenbaums", I thought that though it was a little eccentric it was nonetheless brilliant, not to mention the soundtrack.Recent movies I have seen that are worth watching are "Half Light", "An Unfinished Life", "In Her Shoes","Sideways","The Prize Winner from Defiance,Ohio".

To me, both Irenne Dunne and Greer Garson had endearing looks.I know some of you might disagree here but Barbra Streisand has some beautiful and expressive eyes.Add to the list Elizabeth Taylor,Olivia DeHaviland,Carole Lombard.

I'm sorry that you misunderstood, at least, my intentions. I understood that we were asked our opinion on the promo which is what I gave.Since I do not know either of these two gentlemen on a personal basis, I cannot give my opinion on the same.I can't help the fact that Mankiewicz (don't really know how to spell it) is a host whose professional manner is just not appealing to me,starting with his voice, his lack of charisma,etc.I have nothing against the guy personally.I can't help the fact that, to me, he makes Osborne look that much better and makes me remember him more.

I'm going to be honest with you,I read the,at the time,two postings on here but didn't know quite how to contribute to it in a tactful way.I feel bad that you feel on the defensive but maybe if you were a little older you would understand why we hold on to what 'little'we have.There are only so many old or 'classic' movies, for obvious reasons there will be no more, just like time itself, you can't go back and relive what was already lived so you look back,sometimes with regret, sometimes nostalgically and you reach a comfort spot where you feel comfortable and you hold on to it. that's what classic movies are for us older people, thay are memories we cherish,mistakes we've made,fights we lived through, dreams we made(some that came true, others we still dare to hope will come true).I hold the 'classics' as special, by that I mean 1930's-1960's, the 70's did have a lot of controversial movies that made a lot of social statements, it even gave us a movie I especially love, "The Way We Were", but it's just not the same thing as compared to the magic of the 'golden era'-There have been good movies from the 80's and 90's and even recent ones that really inspire me and make me believe that maybe there is still some magic left.You should remember that this is a classic movie forum so naturally the preference is almost always going to be on the 30's-50's type of movies.

If it would have been up to me I would have been in my pj's but my mom was a stickler when it came to the way we dressed.Boy do I remember the '66 Ford Custom 500-my next door neighbor had one, it was white with a wine interior,that thing was huge! I always thought he looked so regal driving that thing.We never had a problem with the speakers at the drive-ins,seems the dialogue echoed all through the park.Your Dad died young just like mine, mine was only 48 yrs. old but he was very sick for years.Thank God we have these nice memories.

I just saw Michael Douglas's latest movie in the theater, "You, Me, and Dupree"with my family and we were saying how many wrinkles he had, which is okay because I'm sick of seeing all of the plastic faces from over-done plastic surgery.If he did have surgery he should ask for his money back.Don't get me wrong I had a crush on Michael back in the days when he did "The Streets of San Francisco", with Karl Malden, he had a lot of sex appeal and still does, wrinkles or no wrinkles.He is also a great actor/producer, very deserving of his two oscars.As far as Kirk goes, Michael has always looked like a better looking version of his dad.

First of all,welcome to the forum,as you can see,I'm fairly new at this myself but my way of doing the forum is the way I deal with life, stand up for what you believe in but try not to annoy anyone and you'll be fine.Once you're on here for about a week you'll see who thinks most like or unlike you, who are the late-nighters (me!) and who are the most opinionated ones.There are a lot of knowledgeable,interesting dedicated people on here so I think you'll enjoy the experience...............POST ON!!!!! By the way, I think James Dean was a good actor and nice looking, he wasn't like one of THE best looking on my list but I'm not into blondes.But I'm a dedicated Cary Grant,Clark Gable,Spencer Tracy fan.

Although I have seen more Bogart movies,I appreciate the talent of Cagney.....I'm afraid that it's a tie for me as well.Can anyone tell me if they played in a movie together?

I wholeheartedly agree about Maureen O'Hara's smile, but I love everything about her.I also think that Ingrid Bergman had an amazingly flirty smile and laugh.

I dare not choose one or the other yet pledge my unflailing adoration and appreciation for both of these cinematic gems.

Sounds like a place and an atmosphere I would loved to have been a part of, can't get that back now can we? I just love your postings,they are so indepth,descriptive,and just so darned enjoyable.Keep 'em coming please.

Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange," and "Eyes Wide Shut" come to mind and as much as I admire Steven Spielberg, I found his" A.I. Artificial Intelligence" movie to be so on and off, a couple of times I thought it was going to end when it just kept rambling on.It was almost as if there were various writers fighting it out and the end result was a spur of the moment had to be put to make the deadline type of ending, if you know what I mean.
