This is another of my favorite RH photos:

I'll have to go with Universal. They're horror movies are just iconic.

You're not missing much, even the 3-D effects were pretty pedestrian. Brendan Fraser is a pretty charming guy, I guess, but he keeps choosing mostly mediocre movies, unfortunately.

*Beetlejuice* nw: fastidious

Sometimes I almost forget he was also in *Beau Geste* - great war movie.

Well, since we don't have a "gore" section in the forums. All in all, I think people who only think of movies made from the 1970's on when talking about horror movies are missing out on a lot of great stuff - but that's their loss.

Audrey was a beautiful human being in every sense of the word, and I especially admire her for all her work on behalf of UNICEF when she had largely retired from movies. Also feel kinda lucky I was able to watch her last film ( *Always* ) in theaters when it was released.

I have a copy on VHS from the old AMC. I wonder if it will still play. Most VHS recordings should play fine, unless left out in the sun for too long!

*Captain Corelli's Mandolin* nw: comportment

*My Fair Lady* nw: sub-basement

I will most definitely mark my calendar for Oct. 7th, 2008.

The DVD route is sometimes the best one to take, if you know what I mean

Did you watch it before or after watching the remake? Or have you not seen the remake at all? I think I might have watched Scorsese's remake first, but I'm not positive.

Well, he was pretty good, wasn't he?

Lon Chaney, Peter Lorre, Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Claude Rains, Elsa Lanchester

Good one, scsu!

For the benefit of those who were not around when this thread first got started, I am bringing it back from the great beyond, hopefully there will be interesting stuff in here for all to read! Hope you'll enjoy! B-)

I like him in *Out of the Past* very much, if I want him in his scary mode I'll watch *Cape Fear* and if I want him in a romantic, gentle mood I'd watch *The Grass is Greener*. B-)

> {quote:title=MikeBSG wrote:}{quote} > Phantom of the Opera may be Lon Chaney's most famous role, but I think his best performance was in "He Who Gets Slapped." He is a professor who realizes he has been cuckholded and his discovery stolen by the same man. This man then gets the professors of the academy to laugh at Chaney when he protests. Chaney has a breakdown and becomes a clown, replaying his humiliation in front of the academy as a clown act. This is incredibly powerful stuff to watch. > > Also very good is Chaney's performance in "The Unknown." His one talkie, "The Unholy Three" of 1930 is fascinating, since he seems so different (mid-American) than what I imagined watching the silent films. If he had lived longer, I think he would have been more like Bogie than a Karloff or Lugosi type. I'm kind of inclined to agree with your assessment of his performance in *He Who Gets Slapped*. It really won't be out on DVD a minute too soon.
