The Spy Who Came In From The Cold

I don't consider "White Christmas" a snow movie. The only time you see snow is the last 30 seconds of the movies when Bing and Danny etc. are singing "White Christmas" and they open up the sliding doors to show it just started snowing. The four movies I mentioned before "The Thing From Outer Space" - "Island In the Sky" - "The Red Tent" and Ice Station Zebra are about survival in the elements. The movie "White Christmas is "Fluff". Even Sylvester Stallone's movie "Cliffhanger" had more snow!

Two other "Snow" movies that were pretty frigid were - 1971- "The Red Tent" with Sean Connery and - 1968 - "Ice Station Zebra with Rock Hudson. Pretty "Snowy" movies and too cold to suit my taste!
-
"Island in The Sky" with John Wayne. When a guy walks around and around in a circle and dies twenty feet from where the shelter is because of a blinding snow storm and he can't see one foot in front of himself . Also "The Thing From Outer Space" when Jim Arness escapes and kills the huskies in the snowstorm at night. Pretty cold facts from both movies.

I saw the new promo for "One Reel Wonders" yesterday and I must say it SUCKS! Bring back the Rudy Vallee style of singing. It was popular with everyone I ever talked to. It was a natural with the singing through the megaphone and scratchy record sound effect. They can change alot of things but please don't change my favorite intro of "One Reel Wonders".

If it was Chet Baker he did a great job of impersonating Mel Torme. If it was Mel Torme singing he did a great job impersonating Mel Torme. If it was Frank Sinatra we have a brand new ballgame!

The saddest "Movie" I ever watched was my home movies of Christmas 1963. Most are gone but some laughter remains, the rest is painful. Well you asked the saddest "movie" you didn't specify theater release!
-
I really didn't know! I really thought it might have been "Chet Baker" I didn't mean to be sarcastic. Now I'm surprised that Mel Torme does a great Mel Torme impersonation!

The first movie that I thought of was Andy Griffith screaming his lungs out from a penthouse balcony at night to Patricia Neal "MARCIA COME BACK" in "A Face in the Crowd"

Thank You! I listened to it what seems forever as I was changing the bedding and it played on and on and on. It made me think of the movie One Two Three when they were playing "Itsy Bitsty Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" to Hurst Buchholz to brainwash him. They should have played "The Third Man Theme" instead. Now whenever I change the sheets I will use the "Third Man Theme" as "Sheet Music! ( Bad Pun?)

I'm a big record collector. I have at least 700 Albums and hundreds of 45's. I tape them to cassettes and have over 5,000 songs ranging from "The Jive Bombers" to Nino & the Ebb Tides to Elvis to Bobby Rydell to Connie Francis and Brenda Lee. I like the 50's songs and have a mountain of them same with the sixties. I've got collectors records like "Introducing Dion & the Belmonts issued in 1958 on the Gold Laurie Record label, and all original 45's that include Fats Dominoe,Chuck Berry , Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Sammy Turner, Jackie Wilson, Lloyd Price, Bobby Darin, The Coasters, The Shirelles, The Cadillacs, The Cleftones in other words you name it and I probably got it. I collected them as a kid and in later years at oldies shops and even believe it or not my best source today "Yard Sales" & "Garage Sales". I have bought 45's in the original jacket for 1 penny and knew the market value to be much higher. I figure this makes me break even because my mother threw out my complete sets of Topps Baseball Cards when I was at High School one day because she thought I was to "Old" for them at 17. I knew even then that one day a complete set of 1956 through 1963 Topps would demand a fortune. I ran out of the house when she told me to retrieve them but the garbage truck was there hours before to pick up my future fortune. Ah Mom God Bless you, you meant well. So now I make it up by buying what a lot of people think is junk but it's just the opposite. God's way of making it up for at the time was my mother's good intentions. Years later before she died she said she was sorry, but I said to her "Don't be sorry Mom you were only cleaning a teenagers filthy room". That made her laugh and feel better even though it still broke my heart, but the memory of her laughing is something I will treasure more than a complete set of Topps baseball cards and I would give up my records just to hear her laughter just once more.

As an afterthought to my previous response to this thread I forgot to mention how hilarious it was when Dickie Moore revealed that he didn't know how to dance and in one of the scenes with Shirley Temple his character had to dance almost as good as Gene Kelly. He said they made a rubber mask of his face and used a real dancer to do the scene wearing Moore's rubber masked face. When they showed that scene I almost fell off the couch with laughter and realized that if I watched the entire movie and it came time for that scene I would not have been aware of the rubber masked dancer with Shirley Temple without hearing Mr. Moore's story before watching it.

A tie for me the first 1975 - " Jaws " When Roy Scheider is shoveling chum into the water and the shark's head pops up. The second 1979 - "Alien" when the Alien bursts out of John Hurt's stomach and dashes away. For me they might not be the greatest single scene but instead the most terrifying and unexpected that made me jump out of my seat in the movie theater.

Terrible picture "Man Of La Mancha" with Peter O'Toole & Sophia Loren it was garbage personified and I'd Rather have toothpicks jabbed into my eyes than to see this atrocious movie again. A real Stink Bomb that smelled up the movie like Horse dung. The play with Richard Kiley and Marion Marlowe was spectacular. The movie you need a barf bag attached to the seat in front of you because it made me sick to watch it.
