So am I supposed to post a movie on the board that I would like to see and the genre and the year it was made and the sudio? If you think that I am stupid than it's ok for you to say it because I don't blame you if you do.

Well first of all, how do you start.

I have looked at all the links and I am still confused, I hope I am not bothering you about all this and I am sorry if I am, I just can't figure it out.

This all sounds pretty complicating, I don't know if I should join in or not because I am still very confused on how this all works.

I personly like both films, both Devil Wears Prada and His Girl Friday are fun movies to watch. I just watched both a classic film and a new modern day hit, I saw Lara Croft Tomb Raidor which was actually pretty good and I also saw Sunset Blvd, the classic thriller from 1950 and I was stunned. I am very random with the movies that I like. I like Howark Hawks and Orsen Wells and at the same time I like to watch Dawson's Creek or How to Loose A Guy in 10 Days for crying out loud, seriously I need help for liking that stuff but what can I say I am random. I can't wait for 31 days of oscars. I like the list of films that will be presented, classics like It Happend One Night, Meet John Doe, Harvey, Only Angels Have Wings, North by Northwest, The Magnificent Ambersons to new modern day classics like Starman, The Silence of the Lambs, Rain Man, Jerry Maquire, Men in Black and American Beauty, there even playing both Batman Returns and Batman Forever which I think are underrated.

Yes, but not in the way it deserves to be shown, uncut, commercial free and presented in Anamorphic Widescreen, it deserves to be shown in the way that it is ment to shown, most television channels ruin the emotional impact of the film by censoring some material, puttin in commercials and showing the film in the sloppy pan & scan format, it doed not deserve to be on television if it does not air on TCM, where the film would get more respect for it's storytelling and it's visual glory.

It would be nich if they showed Blade Runner on TCM but The Director's Cut though because The Theactrical Cut isn't that good. I think that it contains some of the best production design ever captured on film and I think it deserves to be shown.

Sorry about that, man am I stupid?

I personly don't think that todays movies are bad, I will see pretty much any new movie that is playing at the theater and I am never dissopointed, but at the same time I like the classics. I consider myself much different from all the other film buffs because I am very random with the films that I like. I just saw The Devil Wears Prada and it wasn''t that bad, it's no His Girl Friday but I still like it. I don't know what people are talking about when they say that hollywood has gone strait to hell, was Legally Blonde really that bad, I mean sure it's not the masterpiece that Only Angels Have Wings is but it's not that bad. What can I say, I will watch anything, I'm random. I think that people are making it a little more serious that it really is when they say that hollywood has gone strait to hell because It's not that bad, it's not really bad at all if you ask me.

Yes, I have seen both A.I. and Minoraty Report and I really like them both although I really would of liked to see Stanley Kubrick direct A.I. and I can imagine what a great film it would have been if he had lived long enough to finish the project that he had been trying to get of the ground since the early 80s, but I still like Steven Spielberg's interpretation of A.I. and I am glad that he was the one to do it because I think that he was the only one that could do it right, he understood the material, he liked the material and he knew how much it ment to Stanley. I think that A.I. is by far one of the best and most hunting films of the decade and I know that Steven Spielberg will continue to suprise us for years to come but it still depresses me that Stanley did not live long enough to direct the movie because I know how personal the project was to him and I really would of liked to have seen his vision of the film.

I'm confused with your post, what are you saying?

Yes, apparently Kubrick hated Fear and Desire and wanted no one to view it ever again.

Did anyone ever see The Sugerland Express air on TCM, It's a film that I haven't seen yet and I can't find it at blockbuster or any other movie store. I have been dying to see it, has it ever aired on TCM before and if any of you have seen it is it a good film? I have seen all of Steven Spielberg's films except for The Sugerland Express.

Grace Kelly, Oh La La.

I like to eat Ice Cream, my favorite is Cookies n Cream.

Yes, I read about the Marlon Brando salute on the page that you suggested that I read and I am excited. I hope that they play On the Waterfront during the Brando Salute, I am sure that they will. I am also excited about the Steven Spielberg salute as well, TCM will produce a all-new documentary on Spielberg, I will suggest that they show Jurrasic Park during the Spielberg salute because I think that it is a definitive work in his carrer, they should also show Radiors of the Lost Ark, E.T, and The Sugerland Express, I know that they will air Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Jaws because they play those pretty often. I will suggest a showing of A Clockwork Orange if they show Last Tango in Paris.

Yeah I know, I accidently said January 7. I am still having a hard time getting used to the new year, it still feels like December, 2006 to me. So I will correct myself, the movie airs Febuary 7 at 10:30 PM only on Tuner Classic Movies.

Thnk you, you are a very nice person and I respect you giving me the information on when these moveis will air because you didn't have to but you did and that makes me very thankful. I have seen The Circus, The Great Dictator and Modern Times, both of which are absolutly superb, but City Lights will always be my favorite Charlie Chaplin film.

Terrific, I think that Peter Jackson is one of the best filmmakers of the past 20 years. I am a huge fan of his work, my favorite film by him is Heavenly Creatures. Where did you here this news on him directing the World War 1 trilogy.

Eaxctly! That's the point that I tried to get across, there is no such thing as an old film or new film and there is no such thing as a good film or bad film because It's all about opinions. How old or how new it is does not mean anything. I watch old and new movies, I see almost every new movie out there right now and most of them are not as bad as people say they are in my opinions. I like all kinds films because they allow me to escape, old and new films can do that. I never considered myself an intellectual who judges movies by how cliche the plot is or says that hollywood has gone down hill, as long as the movie can get me to react emotionaly than I like it. Personly I don't think that the movie business has gone to hell, we live in a diferent generation now and things are going to be different then they were in the 30s or 40s, that does not mean (to me at least) that the movie business has gone downhill. The point is is that we all have opinions and we should not judge somones taste in movies because we think that that movie is cliche or badly written and that makes that person who likes it a dumb and cliche person because that is not true, he may see somthing in the film that you don't and that makes him very smart.

Does any of you know that John Carpenter's 1984 sci-fi love story Starman is aring on TCM on January 7, I never expected them to play that film and I thought that I was the only person who had seen the film. Have any of you seen Starman, and if so what do you think of it? If you haven't seen it then tune January 7 at I think 10:30 but I could be wrong.

Thank you very much, I will certainly tune in.

I have never seen the Dragnet movie, how was it?

I absolutly agree with you, who am I to say what films are important to film history, we all have opinions and I will not judge anyones taste, I think that I was being a bit harsh when I said films that are only important to film history.

We actually just watched Shane in my film history class and it is still a worderful film and I enjoyed studying it.
