Well, for just being on the road, you have Easy Rider National Lampoon Vacation ( the first one ) Rainman has alot of being on the road in it. The Long , Long Trailer is pretty funny with Lucy and Dezi pulling that mobile home. Dumb and Dumber Then there is the one where Dennis Weaver is being chased by the semi in his car. World Fastest Indian has alot of road to travel in it. So does Harry and Tonto. Mad, Mad World has alot of road in it. Thunder Road. As for Hope and Crosby, I like Road To Utopia because the gold rush is just perfect for them to keep conning each other over. Bing is really funny calling him Junior and always trying to con the money out of Hope. I know they do it it other movies, but the gold rush is just perfect for these two trying to con each other. Plus, the ending is very funny.

I've seen alot of these, " Whats your favorite Western ? Whats your favorite Horror Movie ? " I've seen these for along time on here. So somebody starts a thread saying these are being posted in the wrong forum, and before you know it you have name calling and people saying how they try to straighten people out on here and then those people get blasted by other people for being control freaks until you have somebody asking their real identitys and the whole thing gets blown out of proportion. People are on here just talking about movies, or thats what I thought. If you read the posts on this thread from start to finish, its really making a mountain out of a mole hill. It went off in some weird direction until people went after each other. Myself, I've posted to some of these Favorites Lists on here. Why not ? If you think about it, you could move everything in General Discussion to some other Forum ....but then there would be nothing in General Discussion. What is General Discussion ? We aren't discussing Generals. Isn't it kind of like open discussion about movies in general, and if so, why not favorites lists ? As I say, if you wanted to get technical you could move everything in general discussion to other forums. Not to be confused with " A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum ". If we were talking Generals, then I'ld be asking who the General is with the real hot Chinese dishes named after him. Is that General Pao, I can't remember, but I do like the hot shrimp and rice. I've got to have a couple egg roles with the mustard, not too hot though. I've found the packaged mustard isn't as hot as the house mustard, but the house mustard is too hot for me. So if I get the General Pao and a couple egg roles and mustard I'm all set. Thats about the most I can say about Generals in a General Discussion. Unless you are talking movies and thats different. Most people like ice cream. I don't thiink I'm taking a controversial stand in saying most people like ice cream. Now not everybody likes the same kind. Thats why they make more than Chocolate and Vanilla. There are all kinds of ice cream. Did you know Dolly Madisons favorite was oyster flavored ice cream. Its true. ......So not everybody likes the same thing. If they did, there would be just one movie ever made. Because everybody liked it, there would have been no point in making any others. . What would Mickey Rooney think if he saw movie fans going at it like this. Why he'd tell us all that we don't have time for this and we all have to pull together for the barn dance. Aunty Ems counting on us and Toto too. ....but if we listened to Mickey and worked together, he would say, " Gosh you're swell. Really swell. It was swell of you. I don't know what to say guys, I'm starting to cry, jeepers, you're all so swell. " ....So come on everybody, lets not go after each other over General Paos discussions. We've got to help MIckey with the barn dance, and gee that would be swell. I came to on the floor muttering about Mickey Rooney and the barn dance with a mouth full of General Pao shrimp. Thats when I realized The Fatmman had slipped me a MIckey. I stumbled to the bathroom and ran water on my face. I felt like I had a head full of chewing gum but there was no Bazooka Joe jokes to go with it. I ran water on my head and tried to clear my head by saying my name a few times. " Sam Spade, Sam Spade ". At first I wondered why I had a lisp until I remembered I always talk like this. It was simple enough. They slipped me a MIckey to go down to the ship, burn the ship to look for the Falcon, get the slip on leaving the ship by the dame who then killed the skip from the ship that had the Falcon. All I have to do is keep the DA and the police off my back, go back to my office, keep my dead partners wife away from me, then have the skip from the ship stumble and slip into my office with The Falcon before he dies, take the Falcon and mail it to myself so's my secretary can pick it up later, then have Cairo, The Fatman, the punk with the patter and the dame that hasn't been square with me for 5 seconds all come busting into my office, gather up all their roskos and I tie it all up with a nice fat ribbon around it. This capers going to be just swell. Message was edited by: WhyaDuck

The list of movies they are showing is pretty good. Of course, it is Brando THE CHASE has Robert Redford, Jane Fonda, Robert Duvall, Angie Dickenson....but make no mistake, Brando is the movie. .....Alot of big stars in these Brando movies, but of course, there is Brando.

Years ago, a newspaper asked people to vote for the 10 best actors and 10 best actresses. Of course such a list is impossible because of all the great actors and supporting actors but it was something to send to the paper. Now being a baseball fan, I had to think about Jackie Robinson and also Hank Greenberg. Plus Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson. So to learn something from baseball, I made sure I included Arfican Americans and Jewish actors and actresses to this newspaper list. I could still leave the list 80 % W.A.S.P if I wanted to and I thought that was funny and also fair. As far as African Americans, I asked who was the first with their names up in lights. I mean box offce. Easy Sidney Poitier comes to mind. He worked with Clark Gable and Glen Ford but he himself became THE STAR in the 1960s during Martin Luther King and .that was unheard of, he was way ahead of his time. ...The woman was a harder choice. Not the woman from Gone With The Wind. Not Tyson who was good but not big box office. Who was the first African American woman that I saw her name in lights at the theatre. Whoppi Goldberg. Be it Sister Act or her other movies, it was her. Color of Purple and Ghost she established herself but then she was the star of the movies for a while. She also hosted the Acadamy Awards a few times, which was no small thing. Shes older now and not getting the young girl roles and doing The View, but she laid tracks. Studios held Poitier and Goldberg up as the stars and backed it up with money. That was rare. And if you wonder who my box office Jewish-American stars were on the list. Well, Woody Allen was big and so was Streisand. Its pretty hard to argue how much money their movies made. The point is, I think we all know how good Woody, Streisand and Poitier are but I think its easy to not see the importance of Whoopi. She herself plays it down, but I remember her name in lights as the selling name for a movie. I really think she broke alot of ground that she doesn't try to get credit for. Now if you don't like either of these 4, there are still 8 men and 8 women on this newspaper list which I can easily start filling up with Gable to Hanks. As I say its a silly thing in a way because it leaves out great character actors, but it does show who studios put their big bucks behind. Everybody seems to know that Poitier broke alot of ground. Thats a given. Whoppi broke alot of ground also, as one of the first African American Female featured stars, as an Acadamy Award winner, as a host for the Acadamy Awards. I think what she has done is under estimated and when people think of the 10 best actors and actresses, I could see how she would get left off or even Poitier, Woody and Streisand......but didn't all four break alot of ground with their names in lights selling tickets. Now who are your 10 best actresses and actors, but I think I'm doing it right reversing baseball and starting with Poitier, Whoopi, Woody and Striesand....and going from there with the othe 16 choices. Next time you see Whoopi in a movie or on TV, maybe consider she broke more ground than she herself lays claim to. Not trying to start anything here, just trying to give some credit where I think credit may be over looked. I imagine for a studio to invest the mega bucks to put your name in lights, they have to expect a return in profits. Again, I'm not talking who was the first in these areas with a bit role, I'm talking who became big box office each and every picture for a while.

Weismuller was great. Being an olympic athlete, he could really swim. He was good at calling the elephants also. I think we all liked hearing Carol Burnette call the elephants. I can't think of the guys name in George of the Junge or The Mummy movies, but he was pretty funny as the Tarzan like George. I remember seeing an actress on Johnny Carson and her mom or grandmother was Jane opposite Weismuller. So who played Jane and who was this actress related to her ? I have no answer here, just something I remember from The Tonight Show once.

McQueen liked to hit the Sunset Strip and hear Johnny Rivers. In The Great Escape, McQueen is also one of the Germans chasing him on a motorcycle. So alot of it is McQueen chasing McQueen.

This Fred Astaire Day is great and what a way to follow SWING TIME. Now showing TOP HAT. Always considered one of the best movies ever made, this combination of Fred and Ginger and Irving Berlin music IS top hat. The Cheek To Cheek song and dance is a classic. and this one is follwed by Roberta. TCM is putting on the Ritz tonight.

Sometimes these day tributes have just an amazing talent and NOBODY danced like Fred Astaire. As a third grader in the early 60s, I had a teacher that talked one day about his grace and style combined with his athletic ability and singing talent. In the Beatles Yello Submarine the cartoon of Astaire dancing is included. With Tom Hanks in The Green Mile, one of the great scenes is the huge child like man on death row for a crime he didn't committ, getting to see his first and last motion picture and as this convict with the god given power to heal watches Fred Astaire and Rodgers, he says " they are like angels " as the camera light forms a halo around his head as well. Often paid tribute to by Hollywood, the night in the 1980s that Hollywood honored Fred Astaire was special as all of Hollywood turned out to salute him. Great actors and actresses roared and applauded at each amazing dance routine. The first dance routine on this night was from Swing Time. It starts with a song my mom remembers everybody liked back then, " Pick Yourself Up,( Dust Yourself Off, Start All Over Again ) ". A great song considering its 1936 and still in the Great Depression. This song leads to the dance that opened Hollywood Salutes Astaire. It is really an amazing dance of Fred and Ginger over and over the railings . The story is a little corney at points but it is cute enough and hang with it. The snow scene in the country singing " A Fine Romance is cute, with Fred getting a face full of snow in the end by Ginger. The dance routine on" Never Going To Dance" is great. The dance routine on " The Way You Looked Tonight"is amazing. Of course this song has been sang by everybody from Sinatra to Tony Bennett to Rod Stewart. None can dance to it like Fred and Ginger. This movie finds Fred and Ginger in 1936 in good voice and still very young and able to dance like crazy. I really like how they sing as well. The Broadway Legend Jerome Kearns songs are excellent. The photography and camera angles of the amazing ballroom setting leads to an ending of Fred and Ginger dancing up the huge flight of steps singing " A Fine Romance " and " The Way You Looked Tonight " at the same time as the songs go together as do Fred and Ginger. A HAPPY ENDING to a great movie. . For one of the better Fred and Ginger movies that will make you feel very good in alot of moments, I recommend the 1936 Swing Time. It airs tonight at 8:00 EST as one of the essentials. If you've never seen it, or have seen it....even if you don't like musicals...This was is very good. . Message was edited by: WhyaDuck

THE Classic non animated star for Disney was Fess Parker and we should all wish we had the money they made off **** skin hats in the 1950s. Have you ever put on a **** skin hat ? I look stupid in one and so do most people. Parker wore it loud and proud. ....I have to go with more of a Clint Eastwood hat if I go country.......All joking aside, I thought Fess Parker was great and had a real down to earth quality and never seemed like he was over acting. When John Wayne tried to do The Alamo later, he should have forgot about it. Even The DuKe couldn't top Fess Parker or Disney on that one.

That Roy Hill guy directed Paul Newman and Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and The Sting.

DUH.....Maybe because it was KIm Novak Day.....as Saturday was FRed MacMurray DAy, as Sunday was Doris Day Day ( can't get away from Day Day ), as tomorrow is Richard Widmark Day.......I like that TCM is doing this and I wish they would do it more often. .....Who is Kim Novak indeed. Are you blind or what ?

When I saw this as a teenager, was I the only guy that that thought Jane Russell was more sexy ...or am I alone on that one. Sometimes gentlemen don't prefer blondes.

I saw this for the first time today. Take Dean Martin of 1965 and have him drive into a hick town as himself. Have My Favorite Martian Ray Walston in his Beeetovan sweater trying to sell Dean Martin songs from his gas station. ....Have Dean Martin flip too much money and say keep the change, I'm out of here.....Have Ray Walston say he sings flat anyway.......Have that other BIG comic actor fix Dean Martins car so it breaks down....Now these two hicks have Dean Martin stuck in town to sell him their songs, BUT....then Ray Walston gets paranoid about having Dean Martin in the same house with his wife.....and thats how the fun starts...Then comes in Kim Novak. Billy Wilder doesn't get enough credit for this one. It's a Rat Pack version of Bye Bye Birdie....Billy Wilder throws Dean Martin into this hick town as himself and Ray Walston who was doing My Favorite Martian at the time takes it from there. I like the Beetovan shirt like my music teacher use to wear. Only Walston has a closet full of Bach shirts and Brahms shirts. ....Maybe this goes over alot of peoples heads......Like when Kim Novak tells Dean Martin she likes Andy Williams.....This is real close to the Dean Martin TV Show, you throw Dean out there and surround him with crazy characters........ ...and I wondered if Jerry would have been good in this and the answer is no. Jerry would have been over the top as Jim Carrey or Robin Williams. It calls for a Ray Walston or maybe a Jack Lemmon. The movie falls on Walston and maybe he wasn't box office enough, but he is great as the nerd. Dean Martin is in 1965 Rat Pack form hitting on the wife and looking for action, this is WAY over the top but Dean has fun with it. Dean plays himself as a real jerk. Thats the movie, this Ray Walston character tricks the real Dean Martin into staying at his house to sell him songs, then gets paranoid about his wife with Dean Martin. ....I think thats funny and maybe it is too hip for alot of people like Police Squad. I thought BIlly Wilder had a funny one here, not as dramatic as The Apartment, but very funny. ....This Dean Martin in a small town movie is funny. Dean has fun with it and his Lewis and Martin timing is still there. But Lewis would have been wrong, it took a square like Walston who came back decades later in " Fast Times At Ridgemont High" with Sean Penn. ......If you don't get that Dean is playing Rat Pack Dean, then you don't get it, but if you are hip, this movie is funny. .... ....its in black and white as Wilder seemed to like to use. I think black and white in this case is funnier. I asked myself if it would be more funny in color and I thought of some lousy color comedys and the answer was no. ....Black and White because we don't dream in color and it just works this way for this movie, as The Apartment and Some Like It Hot, as stand up comics don't want much background.... this is the missing Rat Pack Movie. What if Sinatra or Dino was in your house with your wife. It's a riot because Beetovan shirt Walston brought it on himself kidnapping Dino......It is so wild, it is funny....It's Wild, It's Wilder, Its Dino....a missing Rat Pack Classic brought back by TCM.

This is more TV than Classic Movies but I watched this as a kid. As I remember it came on early on Friday night and there wasn't much else on. I could see right off that he was the poor mans James Bond. Everybody was trying to cash in on Sean Connerys success as Bond back in the 1960s. Secret Agent Man, Man From Uncle, The Saint, even Get Smart....but this was Bond in the Wild West. The kids in the 6th grade thought it was funny how James West could beat up 20 guys at one time. That was pretty funny. Of course he had to dazzle the ladies just as Bond or even James T Kirk who dated aliens from other planets that all looked like hollywood actresses. James Wests make out pad was his luxury train that he shared with his assistant Gordan who was a master of disguise . ....Conrad did do most of his own stunts which is better than the stunt doubles used in Star Trek. The guy that played Gordan was a good comedy actor. ....What was kind of annoying was they would freeze a frame at each commercial break and it would become part of a jig saw puzzle picture they would keep going back to. I thought that got old fast even as a kid. The Jigsaw picture just reminded you how many cliffhangers he got out of and also reminded me of how much of the hour I had wasted watching this show ....I do remember as a kid I liked the episodes that had Doctor Loveless. I thought this villain made the show. He had already been in the movie Ship Of Fools. Dr Loveless was the best of the Wild West villains and just as in Batman you couldn't kill this guy. You could see The Joker or Dr Loveless shot, stabbed and blown up with dynamite and thrown of a 50 story building. Somehow they always lived through it to come back another episode. I can't imagine anybody playing Dr Loveless the way that guy did. He was great. What he lacked in size he made up in his genious and his ways to eliminate James West. He was so good that unlike Batman or Bond, I really don't remember any of the other villains on Wild West. Perhaps Bah Bah Black Sheep would have been better had they found a way to have this guy shoot Conrad out of the sky each week. Ernie Kovacks had a good line about TV Westerns. He said TVs motto is " If it works, beat it to death ". Anybody that lived through the late 1950s and the 1960s can remember the million and one westerns on TV. Of course you had Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Rifleman...but you had Wagon Train, Death Valley Days, Have Gun Will Travel, Maverick, Wanted Dead Or Alive, Rawhide, Cheyanne, Sugar Foot, The Big Valley, Branded, Streets Of Loredo, The Virginian, The High Chapperel, The Lawman, Bat Masterson...it was just endless. Thats why I liked F Troop at the time because it made fun of westerns, Just as I liked the short lived Police Squad for making fun of all the 1970s and 1980s police shows. ....So we went from westerns into all the detective shows ( sloppy Columbo, fat Cannon, old Barnaby Jones) into sci fi and now in nothing but weird reality shows. We have all reality shows because Kovacks was right, TV beats everything to death. ........So in the days when TV was beating the western to death, TV got weird and came up with a new angle, James Bond in the old west. ....but at least it gave us Dr Lovelesss. Oh, I saw the guy that tried to play Dr Loveless in the movie, he can forget about it. The guy on the old TV show was a million times better. What I liked about him was, yes he was short but he was always anybodys equall and better. Don't judge a book by its cover, in other words....... In real life this guy would come on TV with his wife and they seemed to really be in love as they sang folk songs on TV. So heres to Michael Dunn who played Dr Loveless. I thought he made this show although he was only in about 10 episodes. ( 10 episodes, I knew he got killed alot but always came back. He had to come back. The show needed the ratings. ). They missed out on one good villain though. In real life Robert Conrad hated Don Ho and mentioned this on all the talk shows. Something happended to Robert Conrad in Hawaii and he really hated Don Ho. .....So one of the great villains could have been Don Ho in a luau shirt with a tropical drink in his hand as he sings ' Tiny Bubbles ' as he slowly sinks a tied up Robert Conrad into a vat of boiling oil. .....and none of it would have to make any sense because they could get by with anything and did because of the name of the show, Wild Wild West. ....Of course to have a show the next week, Conrad would have to escape and beat the Ho out of Don.

I might add that I think I see what TCM is doing and I don't think it has anything to do with studio package deals. Since they are doing this star of the day thing, they are trying not to repeat these movies more than they have to. So Double Indemnity probably fell or would fall on Stanwyck day. I was looking ahead and saw that Tuesday August 12th at 8:00 PM they are showing Pushover which is suppose to be one of Fred MacMurrays best movies. They are showing it on Kim Novack day. Just as Monday is Richard Widmark day and today is Doris Day day, which gave me a chance to say Day day. ........So thats probably the answer to the selection of movies on these actors days. TCM may have shown a movie on another actors day and they don't want to repeat it right away. If so, I like it because they aren't showing the same movie 5 times a week like other movie channels.

Since I did grow up in The My Three Sons era, I decided to computer up some Critic Choices and I didn't go under 3 stars out of 5. 1935 : Men Without Names ( Madge Evans ) 1935 : Alice Adams ( Kathrine Hepburn ) 1936 : The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine ( Sylvia Sidney, Henry Fonda ) 1937 : Exclusive ( Frances Farmer ) 1937 : Maid Of Salem ( Claudette Colbert ) 1939 : Invitation To Happiness ( Irene Dunn ) 1940 : Rangers Of Fortune ( Patricia Morison ) 1940 : Remember The Night ( Barbara Stanwyck ) 1941 : New York Town ( Mary Martin ) 1942 : Take A Letter, Darling ( Rosalind Russell ) 1943 : Flight Of Freedom ( Rosalind Russell ) 1943 : No Time For Love ( Claudette Colbert ) 1944 : DOUBLE INDEMNITY ( Barbara Stanwyck, Edward G Robinson ... MacMurray gets award consideration at the time for this one ) 1944 : Practically Yours ( Claudette Colbert ) 1946 : Smokey ( Anne Baxter ) 1947 : The Egg And I ( Claudette Colbert and introducing Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbright as Ma and Pa Kettle ) 1948 : On Our Merry Way ( 4 short storys in one movie. Fred MacMurrays story teams him with William Demerst. Looks to be more known for the Jimmy Stewart part or the Henry Fonda part of the film ). 1950 : Borderline ( Claire Trevor ) 1953 : Fair Wind Of Java ( Vera Ralston ) 1954 : The Caine Mutiny ( Humprey Bogart, Van Johnson...this one gets critic praise ) 1954 : The Pushover ( Kim Novak , this one gets critic praise ) 1955 : At Gunpoint ( Dorothy Malone, Walter Brennan ) 1955 : The Far Horizons ( Charlton Heston, Donna Reed ) 1956 : Theres Always Tomorrow ( Barbara Stanwyck ) 1957 : Quantez ( Dorothy Malone ) 1960 : The Apartment ( Shirley MacLaine, Jack Lemmon....this one gets critic praise ) 1961 : THE ABSENT-MINDED PROFESSOR ( Nancy Olson. and Keenan Wynn....MacMurray gets nominated for Golden Globe for musical or comedy actor ) 1962 : Bon Voyage ! ( Jayne Wyman ) 1963 : Son Of Flubber ( Nancy Olson and Keenan Wynn ) The 1945 Murder He Says seems to be considered a one star movie by the critics yet another site has people on the computer voting it MacMurrays 2nd best movie ever. So the critics hate it and the people love it. I think 1959s The Shaggy Dog is important as it brings MacMurray into Disney movies and introduces Mickey Mouse Club stars of the day to the big screen such as Annette Funicello who would go on to Frankie Avalon beach movie fame. I also like Murder He Says and also Father Was A Fullback and Kisses For My President. As you can see though, no way can TCM show all these movies in one day. Its a lot of movies and this is only about a fourth of his movies on this list. Message was edited by: WhyaDuck

Today they showed the Flubber movies which were big in the early 60s for Disney. I checked to see if they are showing Double Indemnity, but its not included. They are showing The Apartment tonight. This guy was one of the highest paid actors of his time and much in demand by the studios. Other movies that I don't think they are showing are The Egg and I, Caine Mutiny and the one where he plays the husband of the first female President. There is also a funny one were he is kind of trapped on this farm by some some strange and funny characters. .....but they are showing the Disneys like The Shaggy Dog. I grew up with him on My Three Sons and in Disney Movies, but he was BIG way before I was born. Alot of good movies, too many for one day. .......Just saw him in a western with Robert Vaughn. Now he is in a western with James Colburn. I've never seen it, so I'm going to watch it. ....Its something the guy could be in comedys, dramas, westerns...play the good guy, the bad guy, the guy that gets the girls, a husband or a heel......plus the long running My Three Sons. I liked him in the original Flubber because his comedy timing is great, like the way he describes to the dog what Flubber is as it bounces around the room. It wasn't as over the top as Robin Williams version, but I still think its funnier. Disney hit the jackpot with those 1960s Flubber movies because kids at school really liked them. I'm glad I haven't seen some of these movies of his and this is a rare showing of some of them. The other channels seem to keep showing the same movies over and over, so I'm going to enjoy this MacMurray western I've never seen and I can always watch The Apartment again. Its a good movie.

Yes, watching Sinatra shoot up in Man With The Golden Arm. I've had doctors give me shots, but thats hard to watch. I usually turn my head away. Its a hard movie to watch, but it is good. One mention on Saving Private Ryan. My wife and I saw that. People in the theatre made vocal comments about the soldier with battle fatigue and called him a coward. My wife told the people behind us that they weren't there, so they don't know. God Love My Wife. Message was edited by: WhyaDuck Message was edited by: WhyaDuck

After just watching Zulu and Alfie and having seen The Man That Would Be King.....come on, there is more to him than Alfred the Butler. ...Which isn't bad, but come on. This is still an important movie. It takes abortion and throws it at you from the side of the playboy, but after he regrets he could have had a son, its way too late. Then Cher nails the song in the end. This IS an important movie. Mind you I'm not getting political. Just saying it's an important movie.

Movie over...Cher singing....So much to this movie, so much to this movie. Alfie looks at times what every man should be in the 1960s.....and always ends up what every woman should run away from, more now than ever and the director having Caine talk to us is like there is a little bit of Alfie in all of us, and thats not a good thing, as Cher nails the ending in one of her best songs even if she knows it or not I have read that this is a fun movie wrapped up in a heavy ending. I disagree. I think its a heavy ending set up by a footloose beginning. The director knew what he was doing all the time.

Ok, this is it...The ABORTION....the movie changes now.

If you have the TV on, Please hang on through Alfies rants....Once he brings the doctor in for the abortiion, you see the real Alfie....( again, don't turn it off off, listen to Cher...Listen to what Cher sings ). So if you ARE watching this and you think this is just more Hugh Heffener Playboy TV...It isn't...Hang with it love. Message was edited by: WhyaDuck Message was edited by: WhyaDuck

You know the major problem with ALFIE is he doesn't give a d#mn. It is so sad. He just has no heart.....BUt...the director has him talking to us the audience as if there is a some We Don't Give A Crap Alfie in all of us. ....I like the way this is directed. The chaep bloke talking about abortion and women to us as if he was in our living rooms. ...( Cher nails it on the ending song )....This ending always makes me cry and I never cried when I was the booldiest kid on the football field.

Please watch ALFIE on NOW....Remember...Michael Caine is a horses rear end, but he is very good at it,

Please turn off computers and watch Alfie...see my post. The lasrt 30 minutes and Cher song are ...the best. Caine is soo good in this as the horses rear end.
