I've seen Rome Open City. I thought maybe that was Too Much too Soon, but I thought it was maybe too quick to have another Errol Flynn movie! I've seen about the first half hour of it but not the whole thing. I don't recognize the Constance Bennett movie from the imdb plot description, so I probably haven't seen it.
So, I think Rome Open City and Kramer vs. Kramer are the only two I've seen completely.

You know, I've seen almost all of these without even realizing it was the same guy. That's probably great acting.

1961 Looks like Constance Bennett, but I'm unsure if it's a movie I've seen.
1963 Must be Lifeboat, right? A very rare Hitchcock I haven't seen.
1964 You always list these chronologically, so this couldn't be Two Women. I'm not sure.
1965 Paths of Glory. Ashamed to admit I've never watched it all the way through, though I've read entire plot summaries.
1968 Kramer vs. Kramer. This scene is not in the movie. It might be a promotional still, or maybe it's one of the photos in the apartment. Yes, I've seen it.
1969 Young Guns or Young Guns II. I've seen bits and pieces of the first, not any of the second.
1970 Oh, boy, I don't remember the title. I watched about half an hour of it once back in the days when I had like 25 or 30 movie channels.
1968 is the only one I'm absolutely sure I've seen in its entirety.

I've actually seen Virginia City, Footsteps in the Dark and Silver River, so I've seen three of these.

I must admit I haven't seen many Flynn films, not because I dislike him, but the genres with which he's most frequently associated - Westerns and swashbucklers - are typically of little interest to me. So, I'm not sure I can identify any of these!

Kurt Russell played Earp in Tombstone.
Oops. Guess I had Russell's name on the brain after other people mentioned him! I meant to say Kirk Douglas!
-
I've never seen Tombstone or Costner's Wyatt Earp, so I don't have as many versions to compare. Of the versions I have seen, Henry Fonda is my favorite Earp, and Kurt Russell is my favorite Holiday.
-
I've seen both versions of Raffles, so I've seen two of these.

1942 Looks like a jewel heist in progress, so it might be Raffles, which I've seen, but I'm not sure.
1949 is Biloxi Blues. Yes.
1950 is Quigley Down Under, I think. No.
I can't identify any of the others. Only one I'm absolutely sure I've seen.

The years don't really work out unless they were having an affair long after their divorce. I find it odd that Mia would so lose her mind about Woody having an affair with Soon-Yi if she herself had been having an affair with Frank. The visual resemblance is striking, but my general opinion is it's unlikely.
Anyway, the whole story makes me sad, and I'm actually glad it seems to have quieted down. In the year of COVID and the presidential election, we have other things to talk about. I don't care one way or another, honestly.

I bought it as a bargain priced DVD at Half Price Books last year and watched it for the first time ever. I found it very stylish and visually engaging, but extremely confusing. My understanding is the film was pretty much cut in half after poor test screenings.

Your remark about Osborne's comments is exactly why I tend to avoid a lot of the host wraparounds. I'd rather judge a film on its own merits, not because of what someone else is telling us about the stars' personal lives and alleged relationships.
It's funny when everyone around here is metaphorically punching Ben M. in the face for not being fit to lick Robert O.'s boots, no one ever mentions how gossipy Robert O. was! In my opinion, he always preferred to drop in a little Hollywood Babylon-type gossip over discussing the merits or making of the film in question. I don't care one way or another. Robert liked to gossip. Ben likes to tell jokes. Just different styles. I liked them both.

I've seen Welcome Stranger. I didn't remember the title. I've also seen Tales from Manhattan. Funny I couldn't those two actors. Always easier once you know who they are! So I have seen two of these.

1934 I remember there was another Crosby-Fitzgerald pairing where they were doctors instead of priests, which I've seen, but I don't remember the name. But they may have worked together in other movies I haven't seen.
1940 is Weird Science. Although I was totally the target demographic at the time, somehow I never saw it.
I'm uncertain about all the rest. Possibly I haven't seen any of these. I'll have to wait and see.

Does anyone remember this?!!?? I get the heebie jeebies just thinking about how many times it used to play!

Tracy and Gable, eh? I wonder who would have played which part? In my mind's eye, I see Tracy as Haven.

1922 I think you were trying to be a little devious with this one! I almost said The Maltese Falcon, but then I looked past the stars to notice they were on the water and realized it's actually Across the Pacific. I've seen it.
1923 I think it's Scarlet Street. Tiny chance it's Woman in the Window. I've seen both.
1927 It might be Tell Them Willie Boy is Here, which I've seen, but I'm not very confident in that guess. Plenty of Bronson movies I haven't seen.
1929 is The Killing Fields. No.
1930 is Waterworld. No.
Only two I'm absolutely sure I've seen.

I'm not entirely certain Dorothy traveled through TIME, but I did find this post interesting.

And I've been wondering ever since she first made her presence known on these boards a few years ago, why it is the suits at TCM haven't tapped her for an appearance as a guest host.
Well, FIRST of all, TCM would actually have to show a movie made by Universal! (Rim shot, please!)

Okay. Well, whoever hosted The Philadelphia Story the last time I watched it on TCM - it was either Ben or Dave - said that Hepburn insisted on the right to choose her co-stars and director. So, who knows.

I've always thought the chemistry between Cary Grant and James Stewart was the one of the best things about The Philadelphia Story
Only movie they ever did together, right? Katharine Hepburn apparently hand-picked both of them. Grant she'd worked with a couple of times already, but she must have had a sense about Stewart who'd made Mr. Smith by this time, but all its Oscar nominations may not have come down yet. Her first pairing with Spencer Tracy wasn't until the following year.

Seen Sister Kenny, so I've seen three.

The second 1,000 were a lot harder for me than the first.
1912 certainly appears to be a version of The Three Musketeers or some comedy variation thereof. Or maybe The Man in the Iron Mask. I probably haven't seen it, whatever it is.
1913 I was about to give up, then just as I started typing, I realized it was In Which We Serve. Yes.
1914 Is it Sister Kenny? I remember seeing this same photo over on the RKO thread. I've seen it, if it is.
1919 might be Trog. I haven't seen it.
1920 is The Wall or Pink Floyd: The Wall or maybe Pink Floyd's The Wall. I don't remember the exact title, but I've seen it.
Well, two I've definitely seen, maybe a few more.

I was pretty amazed at Baxter's tech level in 1960! My family got both its first remote control and microwave oven in 1978.
