[Your Favorite Movie Lines]

Here's a funny one I heard this afternoon. It's from "The Man With Two Faces" (1934)starring Edward G. Robinson and Mary Astor. One of the actresses is explaining that her lover doesn't care about her anymore. When asked why she puts up with him, she replies "It wouldn't be any fun walking out on him. He wouldn't even notice that I wasn't around anymore."

[Counter-Topic: Top 5 MOST Likeable Stars]

My first four choices will probably always be my favorites:

 

Cary Grant

Katharine Hepburn

Jimmy Stewart

Audrey Hepburn

 

But who shall I pick for my fifth most likeable? That's a toughie--several stars come to mind. But I think I'll have to pick Charlie Chaplin. In City Lights he's so innocent and self-sacrificing--it's hard not to like him.

[What would you like to see on TCM?]

I would LOVE to see Charlie Chaplin's 'The Kid'! TCM doesn't show many of Chaplin's full-length films, although I am looking forward to the special Chaplin day in July.

[classic baby-sitter]

I thought of this topic the other day...I hope you folks like it. If you had to choose any classic movie star--living or deceased--to baby-sit your kids, who would you choose? Choose one guy and one gal star. You can base your choices on either the star's typical on-screen personna, their real life personality, or both. Note: If you don't have kids, pretend you do.

Here are my votes: For a guy, I'd definitely 'hire' Jimmy Stewart. I'd say he's perhaps the most trustworthy, kind-hearted actor in film history. For example, in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It's a Wonderful Life, he's so honest, so full of integrity, and always doing wonderful things for other people. And in Harvey--have you ever seen such a friendly smile?! Anway--I certainly would trust him to take care of my children.

As for the female baby-sitter, I'm afraid I have a tie. I would choose either June Allyson or Greer Garson. I'd choose June Allyson because she tends to play warm, supportive mothering characters. She seems like a caring mom. And I'd choose Greer Garson because she, too, has played some pretty top-notch moms. Take Mrs. Miniver, for example. She cared very deeply for her on-screen kids, and she was also a very strong, has-everything-under-control mom and woman.

Okay, those are my choices. What are yours? Have fun!!

[As Time Goes By]

nedlato, I heard there's talk of filming a remake of 'Topper', this time starring Steve Martin.

[Identify short between Hell's Heroes and Young Stranger?]

I believe that short was called "Crazy House". And I agree, that dancer sure had some incredible moves!
