In this he is a footbal coach with a small daughter, Noreen Corcoran, and I think it was Donna Reed as a social worker. He gets in trouble for hiring pros who he talks into going back to college, to build the team and help the small catholic college.

I just read all 39 pages of this thread and there are some really great ones here. Jaws: We're gonna need a bigger boat Meet Me in St. Louis: If being a lawyer deresses you so father, why don't you find another profession? Sabrina: (re-make) He's the worlds only living heart doner. To Kill a Mockingbird: Stand up Miss Scout, your fathers passin'. Steel Magnolias: 1. Best I can say about her is all her tattooes are spelled correctly. 2. That's our son Louie, we're soo proud of him. Talking about her motorcycle riding, tattooed, long haired son. Message was edited by: heidigunn Message was edited by: heidigunn

Which is which, feets?

Does anyone know the name of the kind of stubby legged girl who played "Babe" just now on Good News? I missed the intro credits and they didn't show any at the end. I don't think I've ever seen her before or since, unless I just didn't recognize her due to hair and makeup or something. Thanks in advance.

Thank you Stoney: for the definitions, and the other. Appreciated. Going to watch Glamour Girls.

Poor Bradtexasranger: You must feel like you're in the middle of a whirlpool of alphabet soup. I'm glad you asked though, because I had no idea what EMO meant, or who Brian Emo is. I had to ask someone what LOL and IMO meant, and still not absolutely sure about LOL, Lots of Luck, or Lots of Love? or something entirely different?

Ms Moirafinnie: Thank you for the compliment. Although I know Mr. Cameron has done a lot of work, the only two I am really familiar with are Titanic and the Abyss. I think he was also involved in one of the Terminator movies. In any case, much of my enjoyment of historic films comes from seeing costumes, furnishing, and implements used in the course of the story. I was immediately engrossed by Titanic when I saw the cars being unloaded with items to be put on the ship. Everything from trunks, to toys, and even an automobile. I have quite a wide range of interests as is shown in my home by my rather embarrassing knick-knack collections such as angels, lighthouses, and horses My favorite spare time jaunts are museums, and old planatations, so, I suppose my admiration for Titanic is grounded in that.

I have reviewed this whole thread, and have come to some conclusions, please bear with me. The first time I saw this promo, I hated it, the 2nd time, I despised it, the 3rd time I saw no reason for it, but after watching it all month, I do find some merit in the matching of images on film with words and music. I would rather see different images and hear different music but you must consider what is being advertised. Let me be clear about the fact I do not like the underground series upcoming, but times, as always, are changing and we older citizens must accept the change, although we may not like it, much as our parents and grandparents and back, back, etc. The one thing we must keep in mind is that by condemning young choices, we condemn young people. It is their right to choose their music and movies. I regret Chubby Checker inventing the TWIST in my generation - it caused the dissolution of contact dancing, so I blame my peers for that. I also blame my generation for turning to drugs rather than alcohol for a 'feel good' feeling. Many of the things my generation did, led to todays tastes and in between there was another genration partially lost due to a foreign conflict which caused a change and harm impossible to recover from even today. In conclusioon, although I dislike this promo, I cannot conemn it because I helped cause it. As many of you dissenters are apparently from my generation, you must contemplate my statements here. I do not mean to cause a revolution here, but I have thought about this a lot, and come to these realizations.

Isn't today also Barbra Walters birthday? I seem to remember Douglas and Zeta-Jones being on The View and they all realized they shared the same day. I know Walters is not an actress, I just thought I would toss that out. But I'm probably wrong, I usually am.

I t's been so long since I saw the Stanwyck/Webb version that I dimly recall it, I was also too young to realize the impact of what was happening, or that it was a true story. I will have to rent it to make a comparison. Regarding the Leo/Kate affair, that was simply the 'glue' to mold the actual events around. I agree with whoever said Kathy Bates as Molly Brown was so good, much better than the lady in Night . . . I think Camerons version portrayed a visual impact in what the ship looked like, what life aboard was like (for both first class and steerage), what de-boarding was like, and watching the ship sink with all those people being drowned and the lifeboat people being so totally helpless. I believe an experience such as a survivor of the Titanic could easily urge a person to LIVE as the photos at her bedside showed Rose did. When watching a true documentary, I prefer just the facts, but with a fictionalized version of a documentary, I want to care about the people involved. I apologize for running on too long.

I get the impression that many of you here disliked the James Cameron version of Titanic. I thoroughly enjoyed it and feel it gave a much better story than Night to Remember. The steerage passengers were better portrayed in Titanic, and the beauty of the ship itself was amazing. Also, I preferred the breakup of the ship at the end. Night to Remember did not go into personalities either. I have other differences but would like to hear yours, while I go watch Silent Sunday. Any comments?

I seem to recall Cowboy Cinema being on Saturday mornings before Mr. Mankewicz and the cartoons took place on that morning which I thought were a waste of time since all of TV on Saturday morning is cartoon oriented. I have to say, I never realized those particular time slots were missing until you mentioned it. I never knew the exact times for each, but wasn't Wednesday the day (or night) for Syncopation Station)? Sneaky little devils, aren't they?

I don't think dislike of the 70's and beyond is the correct term to use. I believe non-chalance is a better choice. Remember, this is a classic movie board, so naturally members prefer the older movies, just as 20 years from now, the 70's and beyond will be the 'older' movies then. Music that was just noise to me when my children were teens, is now preferable to me than Rap. So as time goes on, each generation has their nostalgic memory.

I can do both, although I understand an onion was often used for the tears and still is today. The best cryer I've seen is Jennifer Love Hewitt on the Ghost Whisperer, she can turn on water works as well as Demi Moore.

The Bears won so now I can get back here to my movie board. I believe a musical should have songs connected with the storyline, e.g. in Brigadoon, the song Go Home to Bonnie Jean refers to after his marriage to Jean later that day. Or the Lonesome Polecat song in 7 Brides for 7 Brothers, which explains why the boys are lonely and missing the girls. Oklahoma, South Pacific, Flower Drum Song all have this element. A movie such as Flirtation Walk, or any of Elvis Presleys' are musical revues, where the song is only to display the stars talent in singing or dancing. I ran past a more detailed explanation on one of these threads but do not know where it was. Hope that helped.

To all of you gentlemen, I apologize if this sounds terribly female, but I hate the ending with Brandon calling and running after Shane to come back. I felt so sorry for his father. In those days, respect and a good working relationship between father and son was important, and the father couldn't help feeling inadequate after seeing something like that. Otherwise I liked the movie. I like most westerns, bad and good.

I don't believe there is any comparison between them, Marilyn was basically a dramatic actress with a few musical numbers thrown in, she even had the dramatic part in Theres No Business Like Show Business whereas everyone else's parts were fairly lighthearted. Doris, on the other hand was mainly musical with a few dramatic parts thrown in. Julie and The Man Who Knew Too Much, and Midnight Lace, however they always mentioned her musical ability as a retired singer, or quit to be married, etc. You are correct in saying they were both equally good in what they did. But again, Marilyn was overtly sexy, and Doris was sexy to guys who liked the girl next door type.

Although he was a handsome man, he was a little fearful looking as well. He always seemed to have a sneer on his face as if nobody pleased him. Even in love scenes, he looked like he didn't trust the girl, no matter what the scenario.

The best two tough talk-back babes in the 40's were Ann Sheridan whom you have already mentioned and Eve Arden. Both could slice you in half with their words and leave your ears ringing.

once again I thank you for your correction. I did so much reading today in the space of an hour, that I was a bit cross-eyed by the time I started posting. Before coming to this board I spent all morning at the political board on another site and did quite a bit of reading there as well. Van and Keenan, I have it finally.

I think The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is probably if not The greatest, its right up there in the top 5 or 6. Reason being both Wayne and Stewart had been around so many years by then, honing their craft, that both gave impeccable performances, and most Westerns do not have a twist quite like this one does.

Thank you. That is very interesting about comedians. I know a comedian and although a serious fellow about work and responsibilities, he is quite a clown and rarely depressed or depressing. As to my mistake, I went back to your original post where I did mis-read the 'step' father. So it was Ed Wynn and Van. Now, go back to work.

Very impressive lists. Someone lower on this page compared great films with average films, and I believe this person answered the question perfectly, and further up this page, someone mentioned the younger set. This too, took the words out of my mouth. Being under 30 in the 70's was the epitome of cool and I am quite sure Easy Rider brought a resurgence of motorcycle riding for all ages which continues today.

There seems to be a lot of discontent on this board, however I have seen some interesting and exciting threads, the subject of this being one of them. He was an amazing actor and much too underrated. I always felt his walk was nearly as distinctive as John Waynes. As Tim would say, Make it work!.

You must remember if bluegillygal is a newcomer and unfamiliar with older films in general, the sight of Greer Garson may be unknown to her. To those of us who are older fans of TCM, the sight of Ms. Garson may be as familiar as our own face in a mirror, but pointless to her. Many people under 35 to 40 avoid TCM like the plague. I myself, had never hear of the Gladney's until seeing this movie, and truly still do not know much about them, in the days this movie was made, they did not often put true, based on fact, or purely fiction disclaimers in the credits.
