I've got to get up early tomorrow morning but there is no way in hell I'm missing THE IRON HORSE tonight.

As someone who lived in Chicago during the last decade, and who, up until two months ago, was planning on moving back, I am very appreciative TCM is doing this.
A RAISIN IN THE SUN is a great choice. I haven't seen the others.
Any comments, recommendations? Too bad CALL NORTHSIDE 777 is Fox.
My favorite non-classic Shytown movies are ONLY THE LONELY, WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING, THE BLUES BROTHERS, ABOUT LAST NIGHT (this has one of my favorite Chicago lines: replying to her sleepy lover's question of what's for breakfast, super bee-itch Elizabeth Perkins: "Egg McMuffin, Broadway and Belmont"), TRAINS, PLANES AND AUTOMOBILES, and NOTHING IN COMMON.

I think Holden goes to Chicago to work at the car lot, but where their apartment is I don't remember.
-
Yeah, THE CRAWLING EYE!
Lots of snow on that mountain. Don't go up it, under any circumstances.
-
But Richard Denning dead is still sexier than Brad Pitt running around in Africa.

Remember the Gene Pitney song "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance?" I love it, and sometimes sing it in the shower (but not "Home On The Range" like Cary and Myrna in MR. BLANDINGS)
As I'm typing this Dan Dailey is singing (in THE GIRL NEXT DOOR) "I'd rather have a pal than a gal!" I've always thought those two were one and the same. Oh, well...
I'm convinced James Stewart could even do Shakespeare if he wanted to: "well, well.....now....now....is...is....this a DAGGER I see before me???"

HAHAHAHAHAHA Love it, love it.
It takes a real man to appreciate great chick flicks! (well, you might disagree, as well as a lot of other guys, and I do understand)
Hey, I love The Three Stooges and Abbott and Costello!
Give me your honest opinion, don't let me influence you. Wait -- don't run up the stairs! (would you like a wallet for Xmas?)
I'd never make a guy watch Lifetime TV for Woman -- I've got to draw the line someplace. Hell, even I don't watch that pink ghetto tripe. I mean, after all, vivay lay differ-ancy.
But GWTW is great movie stuff in the best sense of the word. Gable was born to play Rhett, and Viv Scarlett. And you know what? It doesn't date at all! Here is the first Hollywood blockbuster made in 1939 about Civil War events -- and to my eyes it remains surprisingly "modern".

GONE WITH THE WIND is terrific!
Vivien Leigh is spectacular!
Great Hollywood soap opera!
A great double feature: CROSSING DELANCY and GWTW.
You'll need fifteen tubs of popcorn and a sex change.

Ah, thank you Scottie for my lizard thread! (I posted a reply there) You've scaled the heights for me. Get it, get it? Oh, nuts.
Do you like Stewart as much as I do in TWO RODE TOGETHER? I just saw it today and really loved him. Jimmy's not beefcake, just one of the best actors who ever lived.
I'm getting so drowsy.....so sleepy.....I don't think I can post any.....zzzzzzzzzzzz

I haven't seen PAYDAY in a long, long time; and I don't remember any of the dialog, but I was really knocked out by Rip's performance.
-
It's less about heart for me with the kids. More like arrested development on my part.
(It takes all my strength not to put that 4 inch plastic lizard on top of the oranges and make little old ladies start screaming)
I would really love to see THE MAN WHO LAUGHS.
Lotte Lenya is an acquired taste (there's something off-putting about her) but she IS Jenny in THREEPENNY OPERA.
Rent CROSSING DELANCEY or I'll never take the pins out of your voodoo doll.
-
Yeah, Servo, Crow and the gang would have really done a number on Crab Monsters.
I like lost treasure and big crabs, so PORT SINISTER sounds up my alley.
-
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
You guys have Jeanne, and I've got Richard Denning!
-
LOL, no Viv is back at Walgreens.
Why can't I run into Alan Ladd, Roy Rogers, or young John Wayne look-a-likes on my shopping excursions?
-
LOL.
I guess I AM in the holiday spirit, with the crabs (the movie) and all.
-
Ah, thank you.
What a handsome fellow.
-
OMG, I never heard that, lol. The score didn't do anything for me that way, however, although I guess audiences in 1946, maybe.

I just recommended it on the Suggested List so you do too, and everyone else who wants to see it, and maybe TCM will run it!
-
What does the monster look like?
-
Well, Johnson certainly achieved iconic t.v. status in GILLIGANS ISLAND, so that will be what he's remembered for, whether he wants to be or not.
-
And THE CURSE OF THE FACELESS MAN.
A nice double feature.
-
Frank, this doesn't have anything to do with westerns, but now that I have your attention -- I just can't find the thread where I talk about my plastic lizard at the supermarket. I'm going crazy. Finding it, that is.
I'd add THE OX-BOW INCIDENT to my Greatest Westerns list. (as well as Greatest Films list)

I'd love to see THE FURIES.
I'm actually with you on BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK -- admiration for its craft, but I wouldn't say I love it. Spence might have been a bit too old for the part.

I had made a snide comment about THE ELECTRIC HORSEMAN, which I said was a revisionist western and so therefore not "worthy" of my time. I actually haven't seen it, but I made some assumptions, which is stupid and arrogant on my part..
