Break a leg kid!

A recent film they made the tears flow was Whale Rider.

Goodbye Mr Chips

most of my list has been mentioned already, but here it goes: Stanwyck Arthur Rogers O'Hara A. Hepburn An Honorable mention because she did basically musicals is Vera Ellen

Those would be on my list. A couple I've enjoyed in recent years are Crimson Tide and Down Periscope (guity pleasure)

I hope it (Camille) is loveoldmovies, I taped it and hope to watch it soon. Thanks for good props!

The movie you are thinking of is People Will Talk. It was Jean Crain not Loy.

Mickey made his stage debut at age 15 month in 1922

Godzilla as an actor has taken on more rolls than King Kong. His wide range from bad guy to hero has brought him international recognition. I'm not sure who he studied under but his PR people are working overtime. If you recall he even tried to give King a leg up on branching out when he offered him a co-starring (& top billing) roll in "King Kong vs Godzilla". And what did Kong do with this opportunity? He did a remake with Brigdes and Lange. Go figure. To show how dedicated Godzilla is to his craft - view his US made film "Godzilla" 1998. He hit the gym bulked up to an unrecognizable "ripped hunk". What was also impressive in this roll was he played a female - What range! Bottomline - If Kong wants a star (and it's not to late) he needs to get off his furry a$$ and take on different rolls. If this means small character parts so be it. Just get out there and work it.

#1 West Side Story: Saw this as a kid and it stayed with me ever since. The rest in no particular order: I Remember Mama: My wife asked me to watch with her and it hooked me back into the classics. Remember the Night: Stanwyck, MacMurray, & Bondi in a road - holiday - love story makes a great little known film. You Can't Take it With You: This cast and Capra and the message of this film. Holiday: Grant and Hepburn at their best. (Bring Up Baby is there too - but I can just list 10) Whale Rider: This film touched me like no other in the past 2 decades. Beauty and the Beast: Current favorite animation film. The Apartment: Maclaine and Lemon were so good in this. To Kill A Mockingbird: Another childhood favorite of mine that I rediscovered as an adult. Alien: So far the only horror film that made me jump and say "Now that was worth the price of admission

Back to Miss Mayo. One of my favorite pairings (this should also be on the "pairings" thread) is the Kaye - Mayo films. The average joe gets the beauty.

There really are too many to list - but my favorite film (musical or not) is West Side Story. Others: Oliver! Easter Parade My Fair Lady On The Town Unsinkable Molly Brown Meet Me in St louis Seven Brides for Seven Brothers Hello Dolly! Goodbye Mr. Chips (I know this version gets knocked here compared to the original - but I can't help it - it's one of my favorites.)

I did like her in that role (Vertigo) but my favorite Novak role is in Bell, Book, and Candle. WOW ;0

Some other favorites: Bing/Kaye - White Christmas Bing/Astaire - Holiday Inn Newman/Redford - The Sting & Cassidy Hepburn/Rogers - Stage Door O'Conner/Francis - some of the Francis films Matthau/Lemon - All their pairings Lemon/Curtis - Some Like it Hot I can think of quite a few women group (3 or more) films but I can't think of many women pairings that stand out - and I know there were some. Any Ideas? I'll hit myself in the head once I see some suggestions.

#1) Astaire #2) O'Conner #3) Kelly

This one was fun

This oldie had a lot of response.

Enjoy this one too.

here's a list for the newbies - enjoy

I grew up in the 60's. During that time they showed (in Seattle) The Saturday & Sunday afternoon theatre. A double feature of old (pre 60's) films on the old black & white TV. They also had the "Childrens Film Festival" which showed more kid type movies (Shirly Temple, Lassie, etc.). My sisters and just loved these times. As I became older other interests took over. Then I started dating my wife (one of the other interests). I was over at her house one afternoon and "I Remember Mama" was going to be on. She got so excited and kept saying "Oh we just have to watch this movie!" We did and I never looked back. That was 20 years ago and I'm now here with all of you.

Here is the thread for those who would like to know what was written by the older folks here. Enjoy!

Jean Arthur, and I'd ask her if she wouldn't mind if Barbara Stanwyck also hung out with us.

you are not alone here. If you look up a few old threads where people had listed their ages, you'll find a good number under the age of 21. You are always at home here.
