Yes, you got it stella! Your turn ...

Nope,
Clue #2 - Ashamed of who she is
-
O.K., since it really WASN'T my turn, and no one appears to be here at the moment to play, I'm logging off for a while ...
-
O.K., I'll start a game if anyone is around that wants to play ...
Clue #1 - a special recipe
-
In looking through some of these older topics, I thought I'd "revive" this one to highlight one of my favorites (which is both British and involves royalty):
Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) - in fact, there are several great Ealing Studios films which were featured on TCM within the past year. I hope they show some of these Alec Guinness classics again sometime soon!
-
Maybe he'll remake it as a comedy ...
Seriously though, this sounds like one of the worst ideas I've ever heard. To Kill A Mockingbird with Gregory Peck is almost a perfect realization of a great novel, IMO. I don't believe it could possibly done any better with any better cast.
While I'm not completely against remaking classic movies, I believe the target should be movies that were great in concept but that just didn't work for some reason: casting, bad timing (released at the same time as some national crisis or another movie which overshadowed it), censorship issues, etc.. I think there MUST be a lot of films made in the 30's-60's which fit this bill. It's just stupid to try to remake Psycho et al.

Robin Hood?
-
Klute ;-)
-
Yup, wtg venerados ... you're up;-)
-
Not Shane this time;-) And, FYI, I'm not quite a 4.0 player yet. Since I don't play USTA, I really don't know for sure. But, I'm likely a 3.5 player at most.
Clue #6 - A glue factory
-
Funny you should ask ... I just won my seventh straight match and I'm headed for the playoffs! Wish me luck;-)
Clue #5 - crying while looking out the window at the rain
-
No,
Clue #4 - a secret formula
-
No, but good guess.
Clue #3 - brother escorts sister to dance
-
not Titanic, any year;-)
Clue #2 - "meet the parents" meal
-
O.K., ready for a new game?
Hint #1 - different social classes
-
The Best Years of our Lives?
-
antar, I always thought Maureen O'Hara was technicolor babe ...
-
antar, agreed! Though I will admit that in my youth I was completely UNINTERESTED in watching a film if it was in B&W. Then, when I got my own little B&W around the time I turned 17, and I started watching it a lot ... I got used to it and then, much later, I began to really appreciate the B&W medium.
Apologies in advance though, I was initially fascinated (vs. horrified) when Turner started colorizing the old classics. I thought "wow, now I can see what everything is supposed to look like". However, once I saw It's a Wonderful Life in color, I said "this is bad, everything looks awful ... give me back the B&W image".
So, you live and learn I guess;-)

Tired of this game? If not, why doesn't someone begin one? It's not like the games have to played within a few minutes with everyone on-line at the same time, right?
... waiting ... ;-)
-
feaito, you're forgiven for forgetting me;-)
Anyway, would love to know if you've seen The Mortal Storm yet, per my post in the Your Favorites folder. Post your comments there when you have. Thanks!
-
Is this one anyone is familiar with? I received it as a recommendation some time ago and haven't ever seen it. Is it in the TCM library?
Thanks in advance for any information about this film.
-
Thanks for posting this list too! I'm always looking for new recommendations and there are several on your list in each category that are new to me. Of course, some of them will be hard to find:-(
-
Wow, what a great list, basil!!!
Looking through it, I'm thinking "surely they received a nomination for that portrayal" ...
Anyway, thanks for compiling it and sharing it. I don't have the time (or inclination;-) right now, but I'm also thinking that in the past 25 years or so when they started giving Oscar nominations and awards to many of the great actors from the 1930-1950s who were still around and acting in their 70s & 80s, that there were probably some more current actors/actresses that were "screwed out of an Oscar nomination" or award too. But who can fault the Academy or its voters for that;-)

And don't forget, Dean Jagger's Academy Award winning performance in Twelve O'Clock High (great war film starring Gregory Peck).
