I've been visiting relatives, not as much time to check out the board. I see there have been some formatting changes that I'm initially not too crazy about. I'm surprised no one else had posted yet. I'm not going to make too much of my crack at first guess, because I can't identify very many of these. 1714 is Keys of the Kingdom. Yes. 1717 is Carousel. While I did see it in an incredibly rare attendance of a live theater performance (for me), I've only seen bits and pieces of the film version, so I will say no. 1719 is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Yes. 1720 is Murphy's Romance. No. So, only two I'm sure I've seen, depending on what the others are.

I didn't know. I sorta made up my own playlist for a Robert Young SUTS day (all 12 of my picks are from the '30s) and have been watching them on AmazonPrime over the course of the month, so I'm unusually fixated on him at the moment.

What's the story?

Got here very late today. I think I would have been able to identify 1701, 1702, 1706, 1708 and 1709. I've seen Rasputin and the Empress, The Life of Emile Zola, I Dood It, The Time Machine and Mystic River, so five.

I took some guesses before scrolling down. I was able to guess Spitfire, Caesar and Cleopatra, Light in the Piazza, Cat from Outer Space and Lara Croft - Tomb Raider. Out of these, I've only seen Caesar and Cleopatra, Light in the Piazza and Lara Croft - Tomb Raider. So, three.

I think a lot critics and essayists have interpreted the ending exactly that way. I'll see if I can't find some examples online.

1681 I don't know my Chaplin films as well as I should, but since there's a kid, I will say The Kid. I haven't seen it. Then a lot of films I don't know. 1686 is Wild Strawberries. Yes 1689 I don't know, but look at that sweet Roger Staubach jersey! Now I want to see whatever this movie is. 1690 is Of Mice and Men. No. Only one I'm sure I've seen.

My assumption is they were married, although I don't think that's ever explicitly stated in the film.

Well, given the narrow range of subject matter, I could very easily look these up, but I will resist the temptation and see if I can identify any by sight. 1672 is The Alamo. Yes. 1673 is The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence. Yes. 1674 is Hatari. I've seen part of it, but not the whole thing. 1679 is Hellfighters. Yes. Well, looks like I've seen three, which is more than I ever would have guessed, given the subject matter. Certainly not a subject matter I've gone out of my way to pursue. I recognize almost all of The Duke's co-stars in the other pics, but I don't think I've seen any of the others and have no idea what the titles are. You must have thought True Grit would be too easy!

Before scrolling down to see the above post, I was able to correctly guess The Wagons Roll at Night, Paris When It Sizzles, Blade Runner and Kindergarten Cop. I had no idea about the others. I've only seen Paris When It Sizzles and Blade Runner! So, two.

I believe The Best Years of Our Lives was distributed through RKO. I've arrived to the party too late to do much guessing, but I would have been able to identify both Cimarrons and, simply because of the "symbolic" still, Four Jills and a Jeep. Also the last two. I've seen Cimarron, War and Peace, (the other) Cimarron and Fast Times at Ridgmont High, so I've seen four.

I saw this pic on the Have You Seen These Films? thread and thought it was Harrison Ford from the '70s. It's George Peppard. Sorry. IMDB seems to be prohibiting me from copying and pasting the full size image. Here's Harrison: I don't know if that's an IMDB copyright protection thing. I don't ever remember that happening to me before. Hope everyone's eyesight is good!

As I recall, when Juliette Binoche won for Best Supporting Actress that year she took the stage and said she didn't prepare a speech because she thought Lauren Bacall was going to win.

You hear a lot about how many hours actors have to sit for makeup in modern movies. I don't know how much information is out there about it for back in Laughton's day. But I'm sure it was a lot.

1631 is Come and Get It. Yes. 1632 is Tom, Dick and Harry. That middle name is probably going to be bleeped out by autocensor. Yes. 1635 is Operation Petticoat. Yes. 1636 is Gay Purr-ee. No. 1637 is The Green Berets. No. 1639 is Colors. I saw some of it in my multi-movie channel days, but I don't think I saw the whole thing. 1640 is The Mirror Has Two Faces. No. I've seen at least three.

Barbra with only two "a"s, something I only realized since my time on these boards.

Ooh, bad call on my part. I was sure that was young Harrison Ford, not George Peppard. I need to put them in the Lookalikes thread. I haven't seen that one. I wanted to guess Salt of the Earth, which I haven't seen, but was reasonably sure this might be it. Looks like I've seen three.

I haven't seen anyone supply what I think is the actual explanation for the horror designation. TCM doesn't seem to have enough separate classifications. It seems like many times in the past, I've seen science fiction classified as horror as well. I guess the idea was that the Hunchback was a "monster", but that seems a poor reason for that genre classification for what's clearly a drama.

Hence my confusion!

My guess is he's talking about Reds. Everyone's taking potshots at Warren Beatty currently on another thread, so why not this one, too?

I don't know if I have any consistency to my likes and dislikes. I like to think I'm against hamminess in general, but I'm of a generation that grew up idolizing Jack Nicholson, who is usually very hammy, and I seem to give him a pass. Same with Kirk Douglas. I guess I'll start by making the most controversial choice possible: I really don't care for Sidney Poitier in about 90 per cent of his movies. This reflects my movie knowledge growing up, but the first thing I ever saw him in was that one where he and Tom Berenger are tracking a bad guy in the wilderness. Oh my God, Poitier so egregiously overacted in that one, I almost walked out. My friends and I would crack each other up for weeks afterward by saying "Every. Damn. Day!" I understand now his significance to the industry and culture in general, but I still have a hard time watching him. He says "man" as a crutch word a lot. All those "mans" can't be in the scripts. If you played a drinking game where you had to take a shot every time he says "man", well ... you'd be dead before the movie was over. I'm not much for later career Al Pacino or Burt Lancaster, both of whom got exceedingly hammy as they got older. Soft-spoken Pacino in The Godfather and Scarecrow just doesn't seem like the same guy as "Hooo-wahh!" in Scent of a Woman. Although I like him in Heat for some reason, and that monologue he delivers in that Oliver Stone football movie is pretty good. I posted on here years ago that everyone should beware Lancaster mustache movies. Once he grew a mustache, he seemed to have lost all ability to be subtle. Although he's pretty good in Atlantic City. There have been almost no posts about actresses, other than Dargo's directly above mine. Let's see ... Shirley Booth makes me cringe. I find Veronica Cartwright's hysterics hard to watch. She's been screaming her head off or having some kind of emotional breakdown ever since The Birds.

1631 is Bill of Divorcement. Yes. 1632 is Tortilla Flat. I've seen part of it, but not the whole thing. 1636 is The Slender Thread. No. 1637 It's either Hanover Street, which I haven't seen, or Force 10 from Navarrone, which I have. 1639 is Candleshoe. Yes. 1640 I think it's Peggy Sue Got Married, which I've seen.

Yes, I'm aware Garson is the star of the film. It just doesn't look like her to me in that pic that's posted on here, hence I couldn't identify her.

Warren did actually make another movie. It was called Rules Don't Apply, and it came out in 2016. I hesitate to mention it, because it will take about three seconds for Movie Madness to come out of hiding and say it didn't make any money either.

Oh, yes, Crime and Punishment well, I was wrong about it being M, but I have seen it. I've also seen Julia Misbehaves. Funny but I don't recognize Greer Garson at all in that pic. Ah, Michael Caine, not Ryan O'Neal. Still not a movie I've heard of. I've seen three.
