  1. Yes, that's the one! It's really something special!

     

    I also caught a lot of the other great Ealing films (many starring Alec Guinness) during the TCM special showings as well. I really liked The Lavender Hill Mob, The Man in the White Suit, the Passport to Pimlico, and the Ladykillers too! Of course, the last two also star Stanley Holloway whom I just saw last night in My Fair Lady ... excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT!!!

  2. I know very little about her and only just "discovered" her (and Merle Oberon) when I saw These Three about a year ago. Subsequently, I've seen her in The Smiling Lieutenant, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (interesting pronunciation of Jekyll too;-), Trouble in Paradise, Design for Living, The Old Maid (with Bette Davis), and The Children's Hour (remake of These Three).

     

    I have to say that I've enjoyed these movies, and have no idea what Bette Davis said about her (something was inferred in another post?), but she seems to have been a solid actress. I just found out from imdb something I didn't know before ... she was born in Bainbridge, GA ... not to far from here;-)

  3. I'm afraid I might be guilty, in part, for the "tension" associated with this game. After an initially furious pace, particularly late last week (?), the game "tailed off" to nothing and I tried to "revive" it by posting that the game is still fun and can still be played at a slower pace ... that it was O.K. by me if a clue stayed out there for a while etc..

     

    Well, I like the game both ways. I love to play coffeedan's trivia but find one question or "test" per day (even two) to not be enough on some days that I've got a lot of free time;-) And, when I'm free, I like to get clues and guess every 10 minutes or so.

     

    In either case, let's not let this game die, O.K.? Also, since I will have spotty availability today, I will NOT be a cluegiver at this time.

     

    Anyone else want to start a game? ... now that we're all in agreement;-)

  4. I got this off another website and thought it was interesting ... adjusted for inflation:

     

    #1: Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs (1937) with $610.5 million

    #2: 101 Dalmatians (1961) with $589.0 million

    #3: Mary Poppins (1964) with $520.8 million

    #4: The Jungle Book (1967) with $484.6 million

    #5: Fantasia (1940) with $465.0 million

    #6: The Lion King (1994) with $419.1 million

    #7: Sleeping Beauty (1959) with $406.9 million

    #8: Bambi (1942) with $394.2 million

    #9: Pinocchio (1940) with $377.5 million

    #10: Cinderella (1950) with $349.9 million

    #11: Lady and the Tramp (1955) with $312.0 million

    #12: Finding Nemo (2003) with $309.9 million

    #13: Aladdin (1992) with $293.3 million

    #14: Song of the South (1946) wiht $288.6 million

    #15: Toy Story 2 (1999) with $271.0 million

    #16: Shrek (2001) $267.7 m $267.7 million

    #17: Peter Pan (1953) with $255.5 million

    #18: Monsters Inc. (2001) with $249.9 million

    #19: Toy Story (1995) with $247.0 million

    #20: Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) with $213.1 million

     

    This data is a few months old, e.g. Nemo could have moved up the list quite a bit, and don't forget that many of the older films have been rereleased many times to "inflate" their numbers disproportionately.

  5. Here's another forgotten topic I'll try to breathe some new life into;-)

     

    Unfortunately, since I think most older films are great, my guilty pleasure film is not old enough to really be included in this thread. However, I'll tell you what it is anyway ... Die Hard (1986) with Bruce Willis. The first sequel is O.K. too, but the 2nd sequel really stinks! However, Die Hard (the original) is my guilty pleasure ... I never tire of watching it and USA Network never tires of showing it either;-)
