Eddie Murphy - Coming to America?

> Oh, I had no antipathy towards DiCaprio before this > movie and as he's matured, he even seems to be > interesting.

The first movie I saw him in was "This Boys Life" and it even impressed DeNiro who said "This kid has got the makings to be big". As far as Crusie goes, I hated him till he teamed up with Newman in "The Color of Money". His subsequent "Rain Man" and "A Few Good Men" showed his growth by picking two mega stars like Hoffman and Nicholson to act with. By the way they said almost the same thing that DeNiro said about DiCaprio. His problem is he is not picking the right scripts. All the movies since then "Vanilla Sky" and "Eyes Wide Shut" are in a word "Crap". If he gets back on track he will surly be a force to reckon with in Hollywood. That's just one voice speaking ( Mine). Bartlett

I nominate 1954's Cinemascope technicolor beauty "Saskatchewan" with Alan Ladd. The mountain ranges and lakes are truly beautiful, and God had to work overtime to create this natural beauty. Eye Boggling!

I'll say Stephen Campbell Moore - "Bright Young Things" (2004) Bartlett

"Oscar" 1991- Sylvester Stallone? "The Untouchables" - Kevin Costner or Sean Connery? ( I'm running out of ideas) Also it was "Crazy Joe" ( Joe Gallo) with Peter Boyle in 1973 Bartlett

> I started to add something elase ,,, & then realized > it was not worth the effort. Please add something else, its not good to hold back anger even if it is unwarranted. We all get angry when we are young and when we are corrected, so the next stage would be a nasty name-calling nothing to do with the subject tirade. A thing that I suspect you will be doing frequently in the future. The only thing you don't get rid of is a temper by losing it. When I'm wrong I admit it, that goes with maturity! RELAX!! Bartlett

Yes Lew Ayres portrayed Henry Drummond in the stage play "Inherit the Wind" which opened up on Broadway on April 21, 1955. Bartlett

SIGH!!!!!! If you look closely, I was repeating the list that lzcutter displayed in her post prior to mine. Obviously your attention span and your detail for information is as equal to your attention span to the various variety of movies that are being Broadcasted by TCM!. SIGH!!!!!!!! Bartlett

> > I didn't realize that Muni was in "All Quiet on > the > > Western Front"? > > He wasn't. Sorry guys I had a "Senior Moment", I meant "The Story Of Louis Pasture" .( Of course it was Lew Ayers who was in "All's Quiet on the Western Front". Please forgive my senility. I didn't take my medication and gave the wrong information as a result. Sorry! Bartlett

Don't forget he did the theme song for Mel Brooks. in "Blazing Saddles" In 1974 he still had that Booming Vocie...God Love Him! It looks like God finally gave him a mountain he coudn't climb. God rest his soul! He was also in an obscure movie as a song performer in 1979 called "Yotzim Kavva". Bartlett

It looks like I'm one of the few who say Carlton Heston won Ben Hur "Hands Down". Muni was great in "The Story of Louis Pasture", and "I am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang" which he also deserved the Academy Award. Nothing can compare with Heston finding his mother and sister in the leper colony and it is a door buster of a scene. He used ever emotion in his portrayal to hate Stephen Boyd, love his protector Jack Hawkins and the look on his face when he handed water to Jesus, is forever prominent in my mind forever. To say that Muni should have won for "The Last Angry Men" is frivilous. I believe the death scene of Spencer Tracy in "The Last Hurrah exceeded the performanc of Muni's in the"The Last Angy Men" . A wonderful movie but in my opinion not Acadeny Award material. Bartlett

Gerrude Short made 82 movies. Bartlett

Gregory Peck in "Other Peoples Money' Or Michael Keaton in "Gung Ho!"

Lets pull all the stops and shoot arrows into the air and see if we score a bulls eye: 1. - 1950 - "The Black Hand" - J. Carroll Nash 2. - 1958 - "Machine Gun Kelly - Charles Bronson 2. - 1959 - "AL Capone" - Rod Steiger 3. - 1960 - "Murder Incorporated - Peter Falk 4 - 1960 - "The Purple Gang" - Rober Blake. 5. - 1972 - "The Godfather - Marlon Brando 6. - 1972 - "The Vallashi Papers" - Charles Bronson 7. - 1973 - "Crazy Joe" - Peter Boyle 8. - 1975 - "Capone" - Ben Gazzara 9. - 1988 - "The Untouchables" - Andy Garcia 10 - 1988 - "Things Change" - Joe Mantegna or Don Ameche Bartlett

>That' Starman isn't very well know and I thought > that I was the only one who had seen it and I am so > happy that the people at TCM like it to. I have seen "Starman" and know that this dribble is not a classic! That is my opinion!

I always enjoyed Bogart in "Sahara". It gave a great story with a very good cast and pretty much was believable. I have seen this movie quite a bit and never get tired of it. A close second is what I consider his signature movie "Treasure of Sierra Madre". The fight scene in the bar between Dobbs and Curtin and Barton MacLaine alone is worth the time spent watching this great study of characters and what greed can do to people. You also can't go wrong with "The African Queen" for a more gentle Bogart. Also he was great with Cagney in "The Roaring Twenties". Come to think of it ALL of Bogart movies are my favorite!!

That list says it all. I like variety and you have to expect a clinker every now and then. I would rather see a multi-festival like this than see the same five pictures shown over and over again. For my money TCM is a sure shot for providing the best variety of commercial free movies. I like the Oscar month as well..you can't beat it!

Jaws?

Every time I see the scene in "Goodfellas" with Robert DeNiro standing at the bar taking a drag on his cigarette looking at the guy approaching him to demand his share of the heist money, puts a chill down my spine. If that is not a menacing look what is?

William Holden in "Stalag 17"?

Was it O'Toole in "Club Paradise"?
