1999 is a year that will be known as an outstanding year for movies in the future. many future classics: American Beauty, The Sixth Sense, The Cider House Rules, The Green Mile, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Tarzan, The Matrix, South Park, Boys Don't Cry, Election, Being John Malkovich, The Insider... the list goes on.
Didn't Gunga Din get a cinematography nom?
I think Stagecoach would have gotten Mr. Chips's nomination if there had only been 5 nominees that year. A western would have beaten a brit anyday back then!

Warner unveils three long awaited classics The launch of DVD in 1997 was filled mostly with current blockbusters and it took several years for classic films to seep into the mix. But several classics including several films from the AFI top 100 films list are still MIA. Three films finally make the digital leap this fall from Warner Brothers Home Entertainment; The Cagney slice of Americana Yankee Doodle Dandy, the Bogart adventure The Treasure of Sierra Madre and the swashbuckling The Adventures of Robin Hood While little is known about the supplements, each film will contain an audio commentary and a video segment with film historian entitled A Night at the Movies which offers some historical information and significance for each film. Additionally a great deal of work has been put into restoring the video on each of these including a new process for Robin Hood which scans each of the original strpis of the three color process individually which should lead to unmatched video quality. All three films will be available as two disc sets reminiscent of the recent Singin' in the Rain set.
All three titles will arrive on September 30th with a suggested retail price to be announced. Along with the upcoming Raiders of the Lost Ark DVD, AFI collectors will be pleased to know that only eight titles remain unreleased. Let's hope the studios get on these last few sooner than later.

I don't know why, but I always felt comforted by the fact that she was still living. Just knowing that the there was still a link between the golden age of film and today made me think there was hope. She was definately the greatest actress this country has ever seen. Stage or screen.

There are many people that deserve honorary Oscars too. The Academy has been doing good the past few years by giving honorary awards to Kirk Douglas, Peter O'Toole and Stanley Donen, but Elia Kazan? he already has 2! Here's some people that havent won a competitve Oscar yet.
1. Lauren Bacall - She should have been given an honorary award after she lost in 1997 -- her only nomination.
2. Martin Scorsese - He shouldn't have won for Gangs of New York, but he should get something soon.
3. Ingmar Bergman - He won the Thalbreg award, but that doesn't count.
4. Robert Altman
5. Maureen O'Hara - A living legend, star of dozens of classic films and not a single nomination!
6. Angela Lansbury - Never won an Emmy or an Oscar.
7. Doris Day
8. Sidney Lumet
9. Blake Edwards
10. Eleanor Parker
11. Debbie Reynolds
12. Leslie Caron
13. Albert Finney
14. Ronald Reagan - I'm not surprised the Academy hasn't given him an honorary award right after his Presidency, but he's in poor health and it would be good for the Hollywood community to let him know he was appreciated in the business.
15. Tony Curtis - Only 1 nomination.
16. Liv Ullman
17. Gene Wilder
18. Spike Lee - He's still young, and he's made many films, only a few being excellent, but Do the Right Thing and Malcom X are some of the best movies of the past 20 years. He better get one in the future.
19. Gloria Stuart - didn't win in 1998, and had a long career of classic movies.
20. Lynn Redgrave - didn't win in 1999, and had a long career of classic movies.
21. Faye Wray - never nominated, and had a long career in classic movies.
Jane Alexander, Jeff Bridges, James Earl Jones, Shirley Knight are multiple nominees that deserve something.

Maybe this has been tried before:
Every day or week, someone should list a movie they want to be requested and everyone should suggest that movie constantly, so maybe TCM will get the point.
my first suggestion: The Dark at the Top of the Stairs (1960)
directed by Delbert Mann
with Angela Lansbury and Shirley Knight and Robert Preston and Eve Arden.
