Thanks for the Charlie's Angels pics, Mrs. C. I've never seen those before.
If that's the law then I'm definitely a lawbreaker. Arrest me! I need to go to jail.
Grace Kelly who?
Those are some mighty fine photos of some mighty fine gals! Wow! Love the
badges and those poses! Y'all too cute.
Let's see. One gal has an up-to-no-good, mischievous smile (serious troublemaker),
one gal has sneaky puppy dog eyes (sneaky troublemaker), and one gal's dress
says "goody-goodie gumdrops" but her look says "I'll sock ya" (secret troublemaker).
By the way, are y'all pointing to the window to show us where the curtains need to
be hung? And is there a reason why the shrimpy one is an attack position? It looks
as if she is ready to throw a chop.

Howdy, Fordy Guns! -- Yes, you would probably find The Last Sunset
a "great, not good" movie.
Quite a harem you have in your corral, Mr Grimes. Which one is your favorite?
If I could combine all four, I'd have a very interesting girl.
What I like about Amy Fowler Kane (Grace Kelly in High Noon) is her
beauty. She's absolutely sweet and adorable looking in that bonnet. She's a
little angel. I also like her childishness.
What I like about Eleanor Stone (Gene Tierney in The Return of Frank James) is
her youthful naivete and pure heart. Since she's so young, she has a very sunny
outlook on life. She's very cute.
What I like about Maria Grant (Claudia Cardinale in The Professionals) is her
fiery, romantic spirit. She's a highly passionate woman who will fight for what she
believes in. There's no quit in her.
What I like about Jill McBain (Claudia Cardinale in Once Upon a Time in the
West) is that she's a woman who is very much alive. She's a former "working girl"
who wants to be loved because she's ready to love back. Her eyes have seen so
much bad in life yet they remain hopeful, especially when it comes to love.
I'm not sexually attracted to Amy or Eleanor but I certainly am to Maria and Jill.
Who would I choose:
1. Jill McBain -- She's a very warm woman with a beautiful heart. She's golden.
2. Maria Grant -- I don't like overly fiery girls, but I do love her romanticism.
3. Eleanor Stone -- She's definitely warm, but she may be too much of a pushover, and
I like girls who will speak up more.
4. Amy Fowler Kane -- Her shoulders are too cold for me.
Jill McBain!
Excellent pics, by the way.
Howdy, Bronx Blossom! -- I've got some lasagna left, want some? Here, I'll
push it through the computer....(I made a helleva lot) Wait....here comes the
garlic-pesto bread too....Got it? Good. Save it for dinner romorrow.
Sure, I'll take some! Now if I can get you to make me some chicken corn soup, I'll
be set.
Unfortunately my girlfriend and I ate up the whole chocolate cake. (I'm lonely
without Duane)
Devouring an entire chocolate cake with your girlfriend is a sure sign of you
missing your Duanie. You don't think he's out dancin' with Miss Torso, do you?
I better ask Marty if he saw Duane at the dance hall last night.
Nothing wicked in NYC except the real estate.
A new kind of wicked has moved in since you were away.
Yes, it's twue, er, I mean, it's true, I am a STAR, the greatest STAR....everyone
has to wear sunglasses lol.
Thanks, Babs. So are you ready for your close-up?
I'm a smart woman; I always guess the final answer in Jeopardy. Oh, that's not
what you meant. I don't really know what a smart woman is vis a vis men. If one is
too suspicious and untrusting, it's almost a self-fulfilling prophecy that Mr. Wrong
will come along, as much as if one is too trusting. This naturally applies to all
human beans.
That's good advice when it comes to "too suspicious and untrusting." You better
know your man.
Where's Duanie again?What's a smart woman vis-a-vis men? That's easy. A smart woman is one who
never gets rid of her voodoo doll. Needles are needed.
The best women knowjust exactly where and when to use those needles. That's the tricky part.
THE LAST SUNSET isn't campy or bizarre as JOHNNY GUITAR.
So maybe you won't be interested.
I'm sure The Last Sunset isn't on the level of Johnny Guitar, but you sure
did hit all the high notes with me with The Last Sunset. What is nicely done?
-
What have you done with my friend, Kyle, you monster? There's no way a man of Kyle's impeccable taste and brilliance would ever, ever post this many Gary Cooper and John Ford posters, and I know damn well he wouldn't stoop so low enough to post a Gone with the Wind poster. This is not Kyle. Something is aMISS Greatly. Your alien spacecraft is hidden somewhere around here, and I intend to find it and expose you and the wicked scheme in which you were hatched. Paranoia? You're damn right.
-
Bonjour, Miss G(one with the Wind) -- You must get the Gary Cooper set.
As someone may say, "tsk, tsk, shame and double shame."
Yes, I managed to sneak Pappy into this discussion.
Oh, really? I hadn't noticed. Cooper, Ford, Gable... I feel ill.
Greetings, Princess Ananka! -- Hiya everybuddy, and oh, Frank, my wonderful friend and admirer and everyone's favorite film buff,
Speaking of "mucho gracias." Mucho gracias!
mucho gracias for bringing to our attention once more that marvelous masterpiece, LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN. Tierney is phenomenal as probably the most beautiful and deadly heroine in film history and as I've mentioned before, that scene of her in the boat, wearing those dark shades, and watching the kid drown is masterful. She was criminally misused by her studio who never knew what to do with her.
I totally agree with you about Fox's "criminal" misusage of Gene, but in a very weird way, I'm glad I got to see her in some films noir. If Gene were used correctly, I doubt she would have ever appeared in such films. But she deserved better.
I like your romance choices and your comments about each. I really haven't seen too many romance films, so I have used this thread and others like it to learn about such films.
Can it get any more romantic than a man carrying his woman over the threshold?
-
Hi, Poofy Polka Dots! -- hey sweetiepie......i mean meanie frankie. heehee!
It's definitely the latter.
well that man from the asylum didnt know anything!!! heehee! he ws mean about the things he said about Smithy. he said he had only seen him a few times, that doesnt tell you anything.
But Smithy did act violently, so he was correct. If Smithy had a knife in his hand, he would have killed that man. Don't you wish he had a knife? The film would have become really exciting then.
well thats one way to look at it, but dont you think they made one of the most romantic and charming couples ever? i would want to take care of smithy too, but not as a mother. if i saw him wandering the streets looking like that, i would have followed him too, poor baby!
See, your reaction is that of a mother. You'd want to take care of him. "Paula's" reaction to "Smithy" is the same reaction "Eugenie Rose" (Janet Leigh) has with "Ben" (Frank Sinatra) in The Manchurian Candidate.
its interesting you bring that point up. i thought you would say that. heehee! i though that he was just confused and he didnt know what to think so he wanted to be with someone, he didnt want to be alone, but in the end he wasnt confused anymore. he had found his "twoo wove". heehee! yes he needed someone to be with, but she was the one he wanted to be with. i'd want to be with smithy too. heehee! he's so cute, you just wanna take him home with you and give him a big hug.
I believe "Charles" did care about "Kitty," but I'm not sure he truly loved her. He basically said to himself, "why not?"
this is what i admirted about kitty. she saw that she wasnt the right one and even though charles still wanted her, she knew "almost from the start" that she wasnt the right gal for him and that it would never work.
Yes, this is very correct. Well, almost. She actually could have been the "right gal" for him if "Charles" had not fallen in love with "Paula" beforehand.
please goodness no!! no executions in this movie. it is perfect! it needs no changing and someone dying in it isnt the way to change it if ever anyone wanted to change it. and nobody ever change or remake it! heehee! well i had to get that off my chest.
If Hitchcock would have directed the film, "Smithy" could have been a real psycho and you would have loved the film even more. What if "Smithy" was say, Jack the Ripper? Talk about a random harvest!
oh frankie, you arereally making me cry. where's my hanky......oh its stillsoaked. golly, it takes al ong time to dry out. i already wringed it out twice! i watched The Sound of Music last night and cried mysaelf to sleep again. (sigh)
You need to go to sleep smiling, not sobbing. Hey, why don't you watch a horror film before going to sleep next time? Your hanky could dry then. Sounds like a wonderful suggestion, right?
So do I get any credit for talking to you about Random Harvest? I certainly could use the credit because I'm running awfully low on it right now.
yes frankie, i gave you lots of credit for seeing Random harvest of course, but that credit dissappeared when you started picking on it of all movies to pick on. heehee!
and im only guessin', but i dont think you will stop picking on it.
At least I'm talking about it. I wonder if I could talk about any other films.
I'll see if I can post those caps for you this weekend.
you dont have to if you dont want to frankie. but i would love to see them though. heehee! yes i know im being sneaky again. heehee! if you can pick on me then i can be sneaky with you.
Now where have I heard "you don't have to if you don't want to" before? Hmmmmm. You at least said you'd love to see the caps, so here you go:
-
Hey, Chris -- Thanks for the video. It's still a cool song.
I definitely agree.
I was listening to "So" this week. I think "Red Rain" is the best song on the album. "Big Time" is fun as well. It's the only Gabriel album I have though.
Red Rain is a very good song. In Your Eyes is my favorite Gabriel song, but I like the early-80s Gabriel after that.

My favorite Beatles song:
-
Hi, ButlerscottchGreer -- heehee! very cute frankie. would it be any consolation to say that we ALL love you too? its quite true you know darlin'. we only pick on you, well b/c you picked on us first, but b/c we love you too.
Uh-huh. Sure. Here's a prime example of such love:
Oh no!! I will then have to make sure we invite The Rifleman as security guard to keep an eye on him in case he steals the Devil's Food cake. We know he won't steal the silver because wolf men hate anything silver.
I called Central Casting and these gentlemen are available, in case your wienie, I mean frankfurter, declines the honor:
I'm a thief and a wienie, and you only wish me to serve you. Ahhh, love is in the air.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FntY5VFs_I&feature=related
wow! thank you frankeifurter for posting that. i love "pleasant valley sunday"!!!!! i love any Monkees song though.
I'm pretty much the same.
by the way i liked the Peter Gabriel Video. i didnt know you liked "in your eyes" so much. i think that is so sweet!!! everytime i hear this song i see john cusack holding up that radio outside **** skye's window in Say Anything. that is just one of the most romantic scenes, i love it!!
It's an 80s song from an 80s film, so you know I'm probably going to like it.
i actually dont like that movie, except for that part. heehee! but it is one of my daddy's favorite chick flicks, so i watch it with him sometimes.

Howdy, Boca Bronxie -- And a Happy Valentine's Day to you too Scottie me darlin'!
Hey, I even got a "Scottie" from you. Well, well, well. At least someone around here has warm shoulders.
I made my special Bronxgirl Skillet Lasagna and garlic pesto bread, and my girlfriend came over with chocolate cake and wine. We commiserated over lost loves and toasted to better romantic times ahead. Then we went back to her house for more wine, espresso, and watched Stuart Whitman ride his horse.
You suckered her into the Whitman ride? My goodness. There ain't no bottom floor with you, is there?
The meal and company sounded wonderful, though.
Speaking of pots of coffee, I'm caffeinated to the hilt now. Duane sent me a cappuchino maker all the way from Little Italy in New Yawk. He's so thoughtful. (5 months to the wedding)
Five months? You think he's gonna make it? NYC is where wicked lives.
I can't think of a nicer way for Mimi to spend her last hours than dancing with you, FG.
After I step on her toes, her last hours will quickly morph into last minutes.
That photo is exactly how Duane looks as he's speaking to me. I'm so intoxicating to him, if I do say so myself.
You have been hangin' around the Goddess FAR TOO MUCH.
I just may throw out your voodoo doll. I don't think I can stick pins in you anymore.
Now I have always fancied you as a smart woman and that kind of talk is not the language of a smart woman. If anything, you should be sharpening your pins.
That is, for now.
That's more like it.
Oh that's right she did, didn't she (I was trying to forget he knew) A weird western -- you've got the philosophical concepts of Trumbo, the kinkiness of Aldrich, and there's a bit of melodramatic Sirk in there too.
Those words right there has me wanting to see The Last Sunset. Way to bait that hook.
Well, since this is the "Western Gallery," I might as well post some pics:
-
Hi, BedeviLynn -- The question has to be asked. Why do you feel the need to be saved? All those gals swooning over you can't be wrong, can they?
I would imagine all those guys in the film noirs that you adore would love to be in your shoes these days.
You just answered your own question. Dewey, Arkadin, and ChiO are guys who know darn well what I mean by needing to be "saved" because they understand film noir. It's spelled "doomed." No good can come of it.
Seems a small price to pay to watch some of Pappy's films. Don't you agree?
Do you really believe a director is any kind of way to catch the eye of a lady? Really? How did you come to this conclusion, Mrs. Ford?
You really are up to no good tonight. You are makin' trouble! Hey! Stop your smirking!
By the way, you'd probably like me talking about Ford since I already have quite a few opinions on how Ford presents male-female relationships, particularly love and NEED.
-
Hi, Up-To-No-Good Lynn -- Well, the way you are turning the girls' heads in the Filmmakers Forum and the Western forum, I would reckon that you are giving old Elmer a run for the money.
Oh, no! I'm a shyster! You would have a few people around here saying "hallelujah" with that one.
You really need to see Harvey so that you can concentrate on some of Pappy's films you haven't seen.
So are you saying that a Harvey viewing is a prerequisite to further Ford viewings?Want to keep surprising the girls, you're going to have to succumb to the Ford films.
You know this to be true.
I'll tell you what, there's a lot of manipulation going on around here. A LOT. From where I sit, I believe there are only two, maybe three Ford ladies, and you happen to be one of them. You are bad, Lynn! What I really should do is watch In a Lonely Place and Kiss Me Deadly so that I can talk with Dewey, Arkadin, and ChiO again. Maybe they can save me.
FYI, I've got plenty of Ford films on DVD and VHS right now.
-
Hola, Lynn! -- It's like a wonderful parade around here. I love it!
Frankie, Have you repented your sinning ways and watched Harvey yet?
I'm betting Elmer Gantry has nothing on you these days.
I have seen Elmer Gantry, so I guess I'm not all the way hopeless. But I wouldn't gamble away anything of import when it comes to me, dear. Be careful.
Have I watched Harvey yet? No. But at least I'm in the neighborhood.
-
Hi, ButterscotchGreer! -- oh frankie, you have to see How Green Was My Valley. its a moral imperative. heehee!
A moral imperative? Oh my, that's quite heavy. How Green Was My Valley is the next Ford film I'm gonna watch, although I'm getting cold feet because Walter Pidgeon is in the film. I can't see how anyone can like him.
Gloria Grahame is in the film, right?Heya, BronxGirl! -- Which Ford films haven't you seen yet?
It's more like, which ones HAVE I seen.
1. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
2. The Searchers
3. Rio Grande
4. Stagecoach
5. Mogambo
6. My Darling Clementine
You must see the error of your Pappy-hating ways.
Give me your interpretation of the following; I want a report on my desk by 9 a.m. tomorrow morning:
Wow! And here I thought I was long-winded. It looks like I'm gonna flunk out of another one of your classes, BG. If I would actually watch The Quiet Man, I could then give you my own interpretation of the film. I do have it on DVD, so at least I'm at the water. Will I drink?
What's up, Kylefornia! -- "And if Ward Bond is praying for my soul, it's too late." - FrankGrimes
Are you ready to confess to your sins? Or are you just rocking the boat?
Kyle (sitting down) In Hollywood
You got a huge laugh out of me for your "sitting down."
As for my sins, I say, "what sins?" How's that for reality? But, please, do me a favor. Do not ask others on this board if I have sinned or, ummm, uhhh...

Howdy, Coop Dreamer -- Theresa: Just ignore him, I'm not a bad influence. I promise.
Such trustworthy language. Sweet T is in peril.
Hiya, Mrs. Coop -- It really is such a shame they didn't allow camera use in that party store; all those handcuffed bustiers and no-back lingerie...things. Most of which we never would have noticed if it weren't for Miss Angel-Influence-With-A-Slightely-Tilted-Halo...
Oh! Shall I upload the "Candy Man" song, too? Eh? **Nudge, nudge**
Oh, nooooooooooo! You, too?! I warned you about Texas girls. But did you listen? No!
I really, really must get to my High Noon triangle thoughts before you post a Cooper dream.
-
Hi, ButtersneakyGreer -- loverly dream angie, but four times the charm, not just three, and i think you know what im talking about. heehee!
B-A-D influence! Girls whose names begin with "A" must be avoided. How many times must I remind you of this?
i had a dream quite a few nights ago where i was lsitting in a field of gardenias of course.
Of course. I need to start writing... fast.
-
Hi, Coopsy's Clara Girl -- I remembered another Gary dream I had last night.
Nightmare.
He looked like he did in High Noon which now makes that three dreams I've had of him like that, more than any other of his characters. It also makes it the third dream I've had where he was 'Gary Cooper - movie star'. Anyway, we were at home getting ready to go to the Academy Awards and he was wearing the outfit from the movie, which is one of my faves of his.
The Academy Awards Costume Ball? What in the wide, wide world of sports is goin' on 'round here?
I better start writing about Coop's films or, better idea, Grace Kelly's films. I'll start with Mogambo.
Howdy, ButterscotchCoop -- repeat, sorry.
You sure are sorry and it's worth repeating.
Hmmmmmm...
-
i'll tell him right away frankie. would you like to help him?
You must not have told Max since your box is still full. I don't want Max to get fired, but this isn't looking good at all.
-
You better tell Max or Freeway to clean out your box, Jennifer Hart.

Hey there, Chris! -- You and Dewey sure love your music.
As someone who was the right age when they came on TV I still have a
fondness for The Monkees. Still have all the original albums (vinyl.) I enjoyed
Nesmith's tunes but my favorite was "Pleasant Valley Sunday." Up until about
five years ago I could hit those high notes in the background at the end near
the fade-out.
Wow! I'm not hitting any kind of high notes... at any age.
Never did enjoy the Beach Boys. I was too busy listening to The Beatles.
That's what I usually hear. Most everyone loves The Beatles. I like them as well,
but I prefer to relax to The Beach Boys or The Monkees . I'm so pop-minded when
it comes to music unless it's rap.
-
Bonjour, Danseuse ?toile -- Excuuuuuse me! I know you aren't talking about
ME. My legs are very long as any ballet dancer's must be!
Maybe for a little person.
I broke my knee in a trip and fall accident at Grand Central Station during rush
hour. I always make sure I stage these things in the most populated locations.
How GRACEful, Little Ballerina. I bet if your legs were longer you wouldn't have
tripped and fell.
Hola, Jackie -- Oh Frankie, I love you!
Such a wonderful greeting! I'm used to much different kinds of greetings from others or no
greetings at all.
You are right. Brian Wilson can be a little scary!
Funny girl! I just loved your selection of Beach Boys and Monkees songs. I hope you
actually like them, because you picked out two of the best songs of all time-
God Only Knows and Wouldn't it be Nice.
The Beach Boys are my favorite artist from the 60s and the two songs I chose are
my two favorite from them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_KY_d9MQv8&feature=related
Do you have the Pet Sounds box set? There is a track of God Only Knows in
which the boys sing the ending a capella, it literally sends a thrill down my spine
every time I hear it. How anyone could sing so beautifully I don't know.
I don't have have any Beach Boys CDs. My music is actually 80s and rap. That's
what I listen to. It's also why I tease Butterscotch and Miss G about my bad taste
in music. They both know my musical "tastes," especially the Greer girl.
Did you know Brian was deaf in one ear? and he still arranged all those harmonies
perfectly.
I didn't know that. Brian was a mad genius, that's for sure. I like him.
The Monkees? Great when I was five and still great .... now. Whew. Almost slipped
and let my age be known.
No need to worry about that age.
I was introduced to the Monkees in the mid-80s thanks to MTV. I used to watch the
show and I ended up liking their music. I'm very poppy when it comes to music...
except rap, although rap is now much more poppy than it was when I was very
into it. The Monkees are my second favorite group from the 60s.
I have to say that Grace Kelly is also one of my least favorite actresses....

Hiya, Grace's Second Biggest Fan! -- see frankie! jackfavell knows what
she is talking about!!!! heehee!
thank you!
You're welcome! I thought you would agree with her re-edited post.
I'll get back at you later. And, like I told you, you've got the Ballerina in a race; she's
wounded.

Hi, Broadway Butterscotch! -- Manhattan blizzards are far-reaching, Cowgirl.
really? than my whole body must be numb, b/c i cant feel any coldness. it is close to 65 degrees right now in Austin, TX.
Lucky you! It's in the 20s here.
I need to warm up with some scary, bloody stuff. If you don't like that kind of stuff, don't click:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L--cqAI3IUI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxz_JBuyF4I
Ohhh no, she couldn't. She's in either high heels, slippers, or enpointes. You've got her.
slippers can really make you move though, havent you heard? heehee! hey dont pick on april in her high heels, i should know, ive got plenty of 'em. heehee! i still think she can outrun me big time. i am such a slow runner.
Her legs are too short.
Okay, here's some of my one personality. I like this dame and song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME0U9nY0AH4
I would definitely watch Greer sing in a canteen. But, yes, I do prefer Veronica and Rita in a nightclub. I did like the "cute little song." Greer is quite enchanting and very warm and sweet at that part of Random Harvest.
i could have guessed. is that the only reason you would go see her, if she sings in a canteen in her little scottish skirt? shame on you frankiefurter. heehee!
Hey, I like gals in skirts.
Grace is never indecorous. She's decorative:
well grace was surely decorating the big screen with her presence...unfortunately we three girls didnt appreciate her decorative presence next to gary. heehee! loverly video though.
I heard you and Kim whistle when Grace appeared on the screen. I knew you couldn't resist her. It's tough not to love her. She's such a darling, little angel.
Just look at how sweet and adorable Grace is.
-
Hiya, Sweet T! -- It's nice to see you back on the board.
Smithy knocks a guy out. I was hoping he had stabbed him and that he was dead. Don't you think that would have made Random Harvest a great movie then?
what!!!! smithy wouldnt be "smithy" if he would have done that in the movie!! how could such a scene enter your head frankie?
Well, the psychiatrist said a man from the asylum could be charming one minute and violent the next. "Smithy" could have been this kind of man. What if he did kill that guy while in a fog, could have "Paula" still loved him? Can't I have some buckets of blood? Please.
Yes, my favorite Greer moments in the film are when she's taking care of Smithy. You can see how much joy Smithy brings her. She lights up just because he's near. That's how love is supposed to work.
smithy brings me joy too. heehee! yeah i love those parts, when you can really see their faces shine, just b/c they are with each other. how romantic!!
I thought "Smithy" was basically like a hurt child when "Paula" fell for him. It's almost as if she wanted to be a mother to him, to take care of him.
i thought Susan Peters did okay in a role that's rather unappealing.
me too, i dont mind susan peters in a few movies, but i dont like her character in this one. it was an unappealing character, that's why smithy got with paula....well one of the reasons.
I actually thought "Charles" wanted to be with "Kitty." He was surprised to learn she didn't want to marry him. But Kitty's instincts were correct. She sensed Charles' true love of another woman that was hidden deep inside of him.
I did like the reentrance of Paula. That was nicely executed.
executed? wow! thats kinda sounds scary frankie.
SmartyMouth! Although, now that you mention it, maybe an execution or two would have really spruced up the film.
i liked the reentrance. her facial expressions were so perfect, and they were so phlegmatic, yet they werent, b/c you could really see the frustration in her face as well, b/c he couldnt remember anything.
Phlegmatic? You've got that dictionary of yours out again. I'm surprised "Paula" could keep it together when she told "Smithy" that their son had died. I couldn't have done that.
lost love was one of the first major similarities i saw too in both of them. the losrt love in Peter Ibbetsonh really did laat throughout the whole movie, b/c they never really found each otehr....only in their dreams.....although i gues you could consider that regained love, but it was so sad at the end. in Random Harvest the regained love was so happy and you get so excited for them both. you get excited for peter and mimzy, but you were so sad, b/c they could never be with each other outside of their fantasy world.
Peter Ibbetson is a tougher film because "Gogo" and "Mimsey's" love is never fully realized on Earth. Don't you think Random Harvest would be an even better film if "Smithy" never remembered "Paula"? I do.
Uh-huh, I'm being a meanie tease.If I find the time, I'll post some from this scene for you. So you want a guy to propose to you and then take a big bite of a sandwich and then kiss you? Ahhhh, liverwurst.
oh would you frankie? but i dont think i would want a guy to kiss me after taking a bite of liverwurst. heehee! that i would leave out, but the rest, i would love to happen.
I'll see if I can post those caps for you this weekend.
guess Sybil's number will come to me in time.
if you had selective, short term memory loss, you would remember.
I guess you're right. I must have total short-term memory loss.
So do I get any credit for talking to you about Random Harvest? I certainly could use the credit because I'm running awfully low on it right now.

Poisoned to death by Pappy? Duke and Maureen are going to work you over. Then you'll be a real quiet man. But don't worry, Ward Bond and/or Arthur Shields will pray for your soul.
I wouldn't mind Maureen working me over, but the Duke is another story. And if Ward Bond is praying for my soul, it's too late.

Hey, OrsonLubitsch -- Did you post your ten?
No, I have not. It's a very tough question for me because I have SO MANY to watch, especially foreign-language films. I haven't come close to scratching the surface of film.
I've got some films on the docket for me that I haven't watched yet but I will be soon, so I'm going to skip listing them. Here are ten films I'm very interested in seeing:
Secret Beyond the Door... (Fritz Lang/1948)
L'Atalante (Jean Vigo/1934)
L'Age d'or (Luis Bunuel/1930)
City Girl (F.W. Murnau/1930)
The Prowler (Joseph Losey/1951)
Celine and Julie Go Boating (Jacques Rivette/1974)
The River (Jean Renoir/1951) -- It really does seem like my kinda flick, OL.
The Blue Angel (Josef von Sternberg/1930)
Claire's Knee (Eric Rohmer/1971)
Madame de... (Max Ophuls/1953)
FYI, I was damn close to buying Lubitsch's musicals box today. Damn close. I'm probably going with Ford over Lubitsch, though.
I was just going over They Shoot Pictures' newest Top 1,000 films list and I was very surprised to see John Ford's Tobacco Road debuting at #727. I had low expectations for the film, but now I'm very interested in seeing it. It's listed ahead of Pickup on South Street, so it's not like I'm buying the TSPDT's rankings, but call me curious.
