  1. I don't think I can even participate in this one. I've seen very few DeCarlo movies. Usually, I don't "cheat" and go to imdb, but I did want to learn which of our films I'd actually seen, and outside of The Ten Commandments, the list is very short. Looks like she had a long stint as a bit player early in her career and had some walk-ons in some pretty famous movies, but I don't think you included any of those. Anyway, it's entirely possible I haven't seen any of these movies. I'll have to wait for them to be identified. I didn't even know there was a Munsters movie. 1400 is probably Oscar, but I never saw it.
  2. Personally, I don't find the sharing of such information strange at all, and I don't have any objection to people who want to share. I come here so often, this is the first site I'm hearing about this news.
  3. 1381 is Grand Illusion. No. 1382 is They Drive by Night. Yes. 1384 is Kansas City Confidential? Yes, if it is. 1385 is Flipper. No. 1386 is The Group? Yes, if it is. 1387 is The Missouri Breaks. No. 1388 is Poltergeist. Yes. 1389 is Three Kings. Yes. 1390 is Avatar. Yes. I've seen at least four, maybe as many as six if my guesses are correct.
  4. I don't know why I forget this from viewing to viewing, but Sal Mineo's character in Rebel Without a Cause is revealed in the opening scene to have shot a bunch of puppies. And the police just let him go! And we're supposed to feel sorry for him!
  5. I've still got plenty of catching up to do on earlier movies. Until I was in my '30s, I'd only a seen a tiny handful of films that were made before 1970, and 90 per cent of those were Disney re-releases probably. I didn't start watching TCM until 2001, I think. Because TCM's constant reairing of the same movies, my exposure is still relatively limited. Your lists have been showing me just how many films between 1925 and 1965 I have yet to see. On the other hand, thanks to 25 years of going to Blockbuster and others and about a ten-year-run where I had literally like 20 movie channels on my super-deluxe cable I later dropped, I feel like I've seen virtually every movie released between 1970 and 2000. I'm much more likely to identify those.
  6. Okay, it is Old Acquaintance. I wasn't sure if that was Miriam Hopkins. I've seen four.
  7. I have accidentally discovered some interesting old topics this way from time to time, but I'm not sure it had really seeped into my brain that this is a good way to do it all the time. Thanks for the reminder.
  8. Once again, I'm stumped on all the older ones. I don't remember a Marx Brothers where they played football, so I probably haven't seen it. That Bette Davis one might be Old Acquaintance, but I'm unsure of the identity of the woman on the right. 1377 is Billy Jack. No. 1378 is Shoot to Kill. Yes. 1379 Looks like Jessica Lange and Michelle Pfeiffer, but if they made a movie together, I don't remember what it was. 1380 is The Passion of the Christ. Yes. So, only three I'm sure I've seen.
  9. Didn't see it, and since I'm about to mostly abandon TCM until baseball season is over, I'm sorry I missed it. Who's the narrator?
  10. I haven't seen that particular Alan Ladd-Veronica Lake pairing, but I have seen Tarzan, so I've seen four of these.
  11. 1361 Tarzan the Ape Man? Yes, if it is. 1362 The Glass Key? Yes, if it is. 1364 The Mudlark. I think it's only aired on TCM once, and I happened to be watching, so yes. 1365 The King and I. Yes. 1366 Well, there's a knife, and there's water, so I'm going to guess Knife in the Water! I haven't seen it. 1367 Obviously Don Knotts, but I don't know the title, and I haven't seen it. 1368 The Hospital. Yes. I saw this on TCM quite a few years ago. It's been placed on, then removed from the schedule more than once in recent years, I think. Not sure if there's a rights issue. 1369 Fatal Attraction. I think I've caught all the best-known scenes from my years of having multiple movie channels long ago, but I don't know that I've ever sat down and watched the whole thing from start to finish. So, I'm going to call it a no. 1363 and 1370 I have no idea. So, only three I'm absolutely sure I've seen.
  12. I'm going to edit my OP because I ended up watching My Fair Lady last night after The Shop Around the Corner. I really wasn't planning to; I've probably seen it 30 times. Anyway, that means 25 of the movies I watched were Warner Bros. films. I would have thought MGM would typically be No. 1, but between Edward G. Robinson and Ann Sheridan both being SOTM, that certainly upped the WB content. And that makes 23 films from the '60s.
  13. I didn't recognize Jeanette MacDonald. That would have helped. I've seen San Francisco multiple times. I've also seen Miracle in the Rain. I've also seen Doc Hollywood multiple times. I guess I've completely forgotten Bridget Fonda's role. I wanted to say that's what this still was, but her presence completely threw me and made me think it must be something else. I have no memory of Open Range. Though I could identify those two actors, I was unaware they'd ever been in a movie together. I was just grabbing at straws when I said Lonesome Dove, because I knew Costner wasn't in it. Anyway, three movies I've actually seen but couldn't identify, which means I've seen five.
  14. I can't figure out any of the ones pre-1970! Here's what little I do know: 1357 is Day of the Jackal. Yes. 1358 is 84 Charring Cross Road. Yes. 1359 I think the woman is Bridget Fonda, but I'm just not immediately remembering what film these two actors made together. 1360 Well ... Lonsesome Dove was a TV mini-series and I assume ineligible. I don't guess I know this one, either. That was a hard list! Only two I'm absolutely sure I've seen, tied for my lowest ever.
  15. So, I'm a big baseball fan, and most years I'm largely absent from TCM during baseball season. Instead of watching virtually every night, for half the year, I might watch from three-seven nights any given month. Baseball season in modern times typically runs from very late April through Halloween, if you include the postseason. This year, the pandemic and some serious labor disagreements conspired to dramatically delay the start of baseball season. I'm usually checked out of TCM by about April 25, but this year, the first game is Thursday, July 23. Since I don't have a ton of interest in Yankees-Nationals, the only game being played on Thursday, I probably won't start watching until Friday. So, I will largely be disappearing from these message boards as well for the next two-three months, though I will continue to lurk. Before I go, I thought I would make a list of every film I watched on TCM during this "extra" time I had this year, from about April 25 to now. I'm going to go ahead and project what I will watch the next two nights. I'm listing the films roughly chronologically by date of release. I thought it might be interesting to place an asterisk by every film that was a first-time viewing for me. If I saw a movie more than once during the time frame, I put a (x2) by it. Oh, a small number of these films, maybe nine or 10, I watched on AmazonPrime rather than TCM, and these films may or may not have aired on TCM during this time frame. I guess I could give a No-Prize if anyone figured which those films those were!

I will note that only 33 of these 112 films were ones I'd never seen before. Most of these are just me sitting down in primetime and watching what they're airing, so you get some idea of what they show.
  16. It appears this is Spitfire from RKO in 1934 starring Katharine Hepburn.
  17. I almost voted for CinemaInternational for the bold move of making an entire schedule of British films (don't suppose that will ever be a thing, like 31 Days of Oscar or Summer Under the Stars, where an entire month is devoted to one idea), but the schedule I would most want to watch is Lydecker's, so I vote for Lydecker. They were all fascinating, though. Thanks for the hard work, everybody.
  18. That is not something I've ever paid attention, but I will at least in the near future! Is that the way it really was back then? I'm a child of the '70s. Our phone cords were very short. If you took three steps away from the wall, the whole phone would have gone crashing to the floor.
  19. Greta Garbo was re-paired with Melvyn Douglas for Two-Faced Woman, her final film at age 36, then she lived nearly another 50 years as one of the world's most famous recluses.
  20. Okay, I was correct about The Odessa File. Voight may be with and without mustache at different times in the movie. And I've seen Monsieur Verdoux, although I couldn't identify it. So, I've seen five.
  21. I am struggling with all the earlier ones as usual. 1344 is Hondo. Yes. 1345 is Guys and Dolls. Yes. 1346 is Dr. Dolittle. Yes. 1347 Boy, I'm not sure. I wanted to say The Odessa File, which I've seen, but I think Jon Voight wore a mustache in that one. I'll have to wait for it to be identified. 1348 is Swing Shift. No. 1349 is Hercules? No. 1350 is Frida. No. Only three I can say for sure I've seen.
  22. I subscribe to Smithsonian, and I read that article with fascination, being completely unaware previously of a heavy Socialist presence in Oklahoma.
