Thanks, lavender! I get MeTV and usually watch The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and the old Thriller series with Boris Karloff. Great stuff.

TCM has shown it a few times but not enough as far as I'm concerned. I love the post-war New York and London atmosphere. Wish we could go back to that period; seems almost picturesque now.... Wish I could have had a relationship like that with a British bookseller and his staff. But then I'm sort of an Anglophile.

I'd love to see Tallulah interacting with Lucy Ricardo, lol.

Wow.

Obsessive love = VERTIGO

Lavender, I love 84 CHARING CROSS ROAD. (and she weeps in a movie theatre watching BRIEF ENCOUNTER)

You and txfilmfan are true ILL aficionados!

James, it's true, one can't do better than Greer Garson and Ronald Colman (separately or together). I love her and Olivier in PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. (and thought she should have won the Oscar that year for her Elizabeth Bennett but, never mind...…)

I love this, lol. And realize that my I Love Lucy credentials are pretty darn nil!

Jan in the Pan! Thanks so much, James.

James, you're right! And of course let's not forget her most remembered movie.... (anyone want to supply a photo, lol?)

Speedracer, if you haven't seen A KISS BEFORE DYING I'm sure you'll be impressed by Robert Wagner's performance. Good film in a, how shall I say, 1950's kind of way. And along these lines I'd also add the 1954 BLACK WIDOW.

But we have to admit that Gene Tierney looked very chic in those sunglasses! Cornel was on I Love Lucy? Wow! You know, I don't think I've seen that episode. (and I'm an old Baby Boomer!) I remember William Holden though, lol. I think she also "met" Van Johnson and John Wayne.

Here is my very short starter list, in order, of favorite romantic films: KNIGHT WITHOUT ARMOUR I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING (1945) THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR

LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN -- Cornel Wilde, what a dreamboat! I kept shouting at him to run as fast he could from Ellen, lol. I have a somewhat twisted take on this movie, though -- I could almost understand her. (well, not the sociopathic parts) She wanted to have a honeymoon and who shows up? The whole friggin' family, including Cornel's young brother (sleeping on the other side of the wall. What kind of colored lights could they get going with him there?) I'd put the original 1942 CAT PEOPLE on a list about obsessive love. Oliver was another clueless male. Openly cavorting (albeit platonically) with passive-aggressive Alice while poor Irina was struggling with her feline issues.

Enjoyed reading your list, speedracer. (now how about the ones on obsessive love, lol?) My late mom's favorite was LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING. I'm still shuffling and sorting out my own list. I do know KNIGHT WITHOUT ARMOUR (1937, Robert Donat and Marlene Dietrich) will be among the top 10.

Guys, I posted the Valentino "All I Wanna Do Is Touch You" video because I love Rudy and also for the Rudy's Girl poster who started this thread. I'm as cheeky and irreverent as the next person (read my posts about The Hallmark Channel on their message boards, lol) but perhaps certain responses to it had gotten a bit too, well.....

Thank you so much, hamradio! Much appreciated my friend.

Mine, too, lavender. Thank you so much.

Was trying to post Deanna Durbin's exquisite rendition of Loch Lomond on YouTube. Perhaps someone can do that. TIA.

Am trying to get back to the reason for this thread but not having any luck.
