A little more current, but still classics as far as I am concerned! Shawshank Redemption The Green Mile Dead Man Walking

First, let me say, I cast no criticism, on the "Chan" movies, because I have watched them many times as well. That being said, there is a movie "Murder By Death"(hope you have seen). Long story, short: Actors play detective novel character with a twist. David Niven & Maggie Smith as Dick & Dora Charleston, etc. Truman Capote(!) plays Lionel Twain, who hosted a weekend at his house. Peter Sellers was the Chan character, and everytime he didn't use the correct language, such as: "We go to theatre", Lionel would say "We ARE going to THE theatre". It went on through the whole move. He kept saying "THE, THE, THE".

Scared Stiff was loosely based on a movie with Bob Hope, titled The Ghost Breakers. Along with B.H.it starred Paulette Goddard and Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry?! (Otherwise known by the extrememely degrading name of "Stepin Fechit".) Check Wickipedia for his bio. Interesting.

Did you know that Captain Marvel was drawn with Fred MacMurray in mind? If you can find a picture of this hero, the resemblance is remarkable.

Supposedly, Clark and Loretta did get together at some point. Loretta's daughter claims she is Mr. Gable's daughter as well. Truth or Fiction?

Thanks very much! Hang in there!

I like all three. They were very different in public personality and in acting style. There is a movie called "The Royal Family of Broadway",LOOSELY based on the family. Frederic March played the"John Barrymoore" character and I thought he had his mannerisms down to a T. Ethel was incensed by the movie. In Grand Hotel, I enjoyed seeing the brotherly affection between John & Lionel. Was it for real. Who knows. There is a movie "Kind Lady" in which I thought Ethel was so good. (Maurice Evans, Angela Lansbury, Keenan Wynn) Remember the Dr. Kildare series w/ Lionel and Lew Ayres.

Hi Mark, One definition of "classics": a typical or traditional event, esp.one that is considered to be HIGHLY PRESTIGIOUS or the MOST IMPORTANT OF IT'S KIND. I would say that an interest in something like this is a compliment to your indiviuality. Some day, people will look back on this era and choose their classics.

There are so many!! Indiscreet - Cary Grant & Ingrid Bergman The original "Affair to Remember" - "Love Affair - Charles Boyer & Irene Dunne Casablanca - "My"Bogie and Bergman Mr. & Mrs. Smith - Carol Lombard & Robt. Montgomery. (A good perfomance by Gene Raymond) The Quiet Man - John Wayne & Maureen O'Hara ("There'll be no locked doors between us, Mary Kate"!) WOW! Valley of Decision - Gregory Peck & Greer Garson (side note: I love the novel and had been looking for a copy, hoping it wasn't out of print. My daughter found one! A Place in the Sun - Montgomery Clift(so sad) & Liz Taylor OK, I AM DONE!!

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (obvious) Philadelphia (Homosexual/Aids) Sophie's Choice (inhuman/impossible choice) Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (filibuster) Norma Rae (unions)

Yes, I am following you, Weebs! I have a couple of answers(guesses?) #4 - Sidney Poitier for one? #10 - Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Bette Davis, Katherine Hepburn, Gary Cooper. ???

My very first W. D. was Snow White(I'm old) so it holds a special place in my heart. Since then: Fantasia, Lion King, Bearty and the Beast

What a original subject! My choice is short but I think, sweet. Mr. Blandings Builds His Dreamhouse. In the beginning, it's morning and Cary Grant gets out of bed and wakes Myrna Loy. She sits up but is still very sleepy. Cary brings a cup of coffee, holds it under her nose and she begins to wake up. Lovely.

These are my choices from the viewpoint of important contributions. Compulsion (Leopold & Loeb)(omnipotence) Judgement at Nuremberg (Who could forget MontgomeryClift) The Ox-Bow Incident (mob violence) Inherit the Wind (evolution vs. creation) Sophie's Choice (horrible choices to be made) Gentlemen's Agreement(prejudice) Oops! 6 instead of 5

Thanks! I wasn't going for character actors in musicals. I was going for fav character actors. However, I do agree about Charlotte G. How about Edward Everett Horton and Eric Blore?

Boy, is my face red!! Sorry, I am new to this and I goofed. I am sure none of you EVER heard of THESE musicals.

And...mine are: Peter Lorre, William Demarest, Frank McHugh, Dan Duryea, Sydney Greenstreet, Jack Weston, Rod Steiger, Eric Blore, Lionel Barrymoore, Ward Bond. (could go on & on) Eve Arden, Billie Burke, Mary Wickes(yay St.Louis), Anne Revere, Ethel Barrymoore, Jane Darwell, Lucille Watson, Beulah Bondi, (again, on & on). Looking forward to your replies!

According to Wikipedia, she currently lives in Connecticut and Manhattan w/ her 5th(!) husband, child star Dickie Moore. Check in out.

Frank, for some reason,. the rest of my post did not post. Webestang as Norman, etc. and then I said the only thing I have in common with Mrs. Bates is I like rocking chairs. Hope this makes it.

Hi Frank. Webestang(my boy) is not Norman B. as he said. And.....the only thing I have in common with Mrs. Bates is I like rocking chairs.

I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY!!! It seemed as though she didn't have a script. Equal to Cary Grant(sigh) in performance

"Singin' in the Rain". Donald O'Connor did not play second to Gene Kelly. Not a Debbie Reynolds fan but thought she shone in this musical

I forgot all about "Scout"!! The scene with her and Atticus in the rocking chair waiting for Jeb to wake up. Tenderness personified!!

You are already are in love with her!!
