Have you seen these 10 classic films..?
sewhite2000 replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
I don't know how I didn't recognize Shadow of a Doubt, which I've seen multiple times. It's very obvious now that it's been identified. Okay, I've seen it and the final two, so I've seen three. -

I can't identify any of the older movies, which is often the case. 1838 is White Nights. Never saw it. 1839 is The Nightmare Before Christmas. Yes. 1840 is probably Meet the Parents, although there were a couple of sequels. I've seen at least two of them. -
This has been discussed on Page One by SpeedRacer5. Sounds like it's short for "Over and Out", which was apparently the OP's way saying goodbye after meeting negative feedback to his (?) original post, which he has since deleted, although it can still be read since Jamesjazzguitar quoted it. Although the OP has certainly NOT left the forum and has continued to let everyone know his (?) opinion of everyone else's opinion. I think "ovo" was a typo and that he (?) meant to type "oao" twice.

CASABLANCA is only the 24th most popular classic
sewhite2000 replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
It's an online store for purchasing music, movies, TV shows and podcasts in mp3 form owned by Apple. It's been around for almost 20 years. It has in the past year or two been largely replaced by AppleMusic, where instead of purchasing items individually, you can stream their entire catalog for a monthly fee. There were a lot of headlines about 18 months ago saying Apple was going to completely close iTunes down, but personally I am happy to report that these have so far been false. I just moved my iTunes music library to my new laptop and found that the iTunes store is still open for business. -
Actors You Didn't Like....But Changed Your Mind
sewhite2000 replied to Tikisoo's topic in General Discussions
Here you go: The film is sometimes called "An RKO Radioactive Picture". It was filmed near an active nuclear test site in Utah, where eleven tests had reportedly been carried out in the year before the production landed there. Not surprisingly, the set was contaminated by nuclear fallout, but producer Howard Hughes and the local population had been reassured by the Atomic Energy Commission that the area was completely safe. Photographs exist of John Wayne holding a Geiger counter that reportedly made so much noise that he simply thought it was broken. After location shooting, Hughes had tons of contaminated soil transported back to Hollywood in order to match interior shooting done there. Over the next thirty years, 91 of the 220 cast and crew members had developed a form of cancer. Forty-six had died, including John Wayne, Susan Hayward, Pedro Armendáriz (who shot himself soon after learning he had terminal cancer), Agnes Moorehead, John Hoyt and director Dick Powell. Lee Van Cleef had throat cancer, but died of a heart attack. The count did not include several hundred local Native Americans who played extras, or relatives of the cast and crew who visited the set, including John Wayne's son Michael Wayne. A "People" article quoted the reaction of a scientist from the Pentagon's Defense Nuclear Agency to the news, "Please, God, don't let us have killed John Wayne". As of June 2011, the article is available in its archive online. -
I am repeatedly confused by your reference to this happening two weekends in a row. I can't find any concert movies at all on the schedule the weekend before or the weekend after. What do you mean by that?

Best Endings & Beginnings in film history?
sewhite2000 replied to spence's topic in General Discussions
I saw this movie when it came out and maybe not since. I had no idea who Patton Oswalt was back then and am surprised to see him now. -
Jamesjazzguitar in fact quoted the entire OP if you would like to read it. It's in the second post in this thread.

Everybody on Jeopardy is way smarter than me, so I have to take my incredibly rare opportunities to feel smug when they know nothing about regular guy stuff. Take it away, Anupama! -

I had to quote something, because I was being denied access to the reply box otherwise. I was getting the pointy glove hand for all of eternity but never a cursor to begin typing text no matter how many hundreds of billions of times I refreshed the page or closed the website and reopened it. I don't know what was going on. My dumb, insanely slow, historically dysfunctional computer, I think, and not the website. So, I just made a small quote from myself, because I don't think I would ever get to reply without doing that. So ... I've seen Rain, but for the life of me, I couldn't identify Walter Huston in that pic. I was correct about Love Finds Andy Hardy. Oh, of course, Exodus. I've seen the first half of it maybe five times, but I always fall asleep or give up on it. I forgot about Cobb being in it. I can't count it as one I've seen. Well, not Streisand, unless she was making some kind of cameo. I've seen The Italian Job, but the Streisand lookalike so diverted my attention, I couldn't identify it. I've seen Barry Lyndon. That's very obviously Ryan O'Neal now that he's been identified for me, but I couldn't make it out before. So, looks like I've seen five instead of just one, which makes me feel a little more learned. -

sewhite2000 replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
1821 Looks like very early Joan Crawford, maybe a silent, but I don't know which one it is. 1822 I've seen a lot of the Andy Hardy movies, but they all run together in my head. I will guess Love Finds Andy Hardy, since I think that's Judy Garland in the middle. I've seen it, if that's what this is. 1823 is The Big Street. Yes. 1826 Obviously Paul Newman, and the other felllow looks like Lee J. Cobb, but I don't know what movie this is. 1827 It looks like Barbra Streisand and Michael Caine. I didn't know they ever did a movie together. 1829 The Onion Field? I haven't seen it. 1830 Wildcats. I've seen parts of it from the days when I had many movie channels, but not the whole thing. So, once again, just one I'm absolutely sure I've seen, but there may be a few more. -

I probably won't see the "cheat sheet" post until tomorrow morning, so I will go ahead and say that if that is indeed The Woman in Green, then I've seen two of these. -

sewhite2000 replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
Hmm. Colorful titles. That might help me make some guesses ... 1811 might be The Woman in Green, unless there's another Sherlock Holmes color title I'm not remembering. I've seen it, if it is. 1817 is Purple Rain. As big a Prince a fan as I am, you think I would have seen it. But only bits and pieces, so I will call it a no. 1818 is White Men Can't Jump. Yes. 1819 I saw part of this movie in my multi-movie channel days, but I can't think of the title. 1820 Wow, is that Hillary Swank? I'm unused to seeing her in so sexy an outfit. I don't know the movie, though. I will leave it to others with deeper film knowledge to inform me of the rest. As it stands, there's only one I'm absolutely sure I've seen all the way through, but that might change. -

1802 is definitely Black Cat, and along with 1810, it's probably one of only two that I could have identified without reading your post. Well, maybe 1809 if I'd thought about it hard enough. I've seen The Black Cat, The Whisperers, Escape from New York and Space Jam, so I've seen four. -

Using a like emoji for this sad state of events didn't seem right, but I thought sad face might imply I disapproved of this message. So, I will just quote and say I have empathy for this statement. -

sewhite2000 replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
1792 is Here Comes Mr. Jordan. Yes. 1795 might be Love Me or Leave Me. Not entirely sure that's Doris Day, though. I haven't seen it. 1798 is Greystoke: the Legend of Tarzan Lord of the Apes. Yes. 1799 is also Tarzan. Not sure if the title had more words, but I also saw it. 1800 Is this Love, Actually? A much ballyhooed movie that I've only seen parts of. Only three I'm sure I've seen. I can't identify the others. -
The Post an Interesting Pic thread
sewhite2000 replied to Richard Kimble's topic in General Discussions
Sorry, but this sentence has stuck in my head for a week. Could you elaborate? Commented how? Commented why? Was the producer telling Lorne it was too gay for him to have his arm around another man? -

sewhite2000 replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
I've seen Sunrise, and I half-suspected what this was. I don't know why I didn't go ahead and guess that. Ditto Pal Joey. How did I not identify Rita Hayworth? And I rented Even Cowgirls Get the Blues from Blockbuster when I was in college, when I briefly thought it was important that I see all of Gus Van Zandt's movies. So, I've seen four, though I was pretty poor at identifying them. -

sewhite2000 replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
Getting on very late today. Surprised to see no other guesses yet. While I recognize many of the actors, I'm not identifying almost any of the movies. The only one I can identify is 1789, which is Gremlins, so I know I've seen one. I will have to wait to learn what the others are. -

Oh. I was wrong about my Denzel pick, but I haven't seen that one either. -

sewhite2000 replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
Clarification, just in case I end up looking like an idiot. I am being informed by the system that Ls DoorMat has replied as I'm 99 per cent finished typing this. Since I'm so close to posting, I'm going to wait and finish this first before looking. 1772 is The Roaring Twenties. Yes. 1773 is Angel and the Badman. No 1776 is The Rainmaker. Yes. 1778 is Pretty Poison. No. 1779 is Badlands. Yes. 1780 is Philadelphia. No. So, I think I've seen three. Edit after looking: Oh, Lloyds of London. I saw about the first half hour of that, but I'm not counting it as one I've seen. -

sewhite2000 replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
I probably could only have identified 1768 and 1770. I've seen In a Lonely Place and Coppola's Dracula, so it looks like I've probably only seen two. -

sewhite2000 replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
I've seen They Made a Criminal, though I couldn't remember the title, and I've seen Come to the Stable. The actresses' faces are obvious to me now that they've been identified, but I didn't recognize them before. So, I've seen four.
