they showed it again this morning, cause it is "31 days of oscar" since Sunday, it was really great to watch it again, Garbo was so good in this one and it just kinda tickles the funny bone real good.

my hubby and I watched this movie last week, we enjoyed it a lot even if it isnt as good as "the alamo" with john wayne, but it is still awesom to watch a movie abouit the alamo. Anyone who has been to the actual alamo in downtown san antone knows what a spefcial place it is in our nation's history. i hope TCM will show 'the alamo' soon!

rohanaka, you make that movie sound really exciting! I dont think I've ever seen it but i"m going to look for it, anything with Jimmy stewart is worth watching as far as i'm concerned. also I dont remember who the director was, but he was supposed to be very good. lookin' forward to more ramblin'! anita P.S. it doeas help to know how to whip the guys into shape! heh Message was edited by: texanna

i would also sugg4est 'advance to the rear', where ford played a union captain. yes, it's funnier than it sounds. anita

my hubby and i are partial to 'raising arizona'. it's one that never gets old, and holly hunter and nicholas cage have seldom been better. the babies are so cute, too! oh and john goodman, he was also very funny in this one. trivia: randall 'tex' cobb is from abilene, texas! anita

I've been waiting for Frank to talk about this Gloria Grahame movie since...uh... ooh, darn it FrankGrimes! > > > > so you are the one that always likes to keep the ladies waiting? heh heh your very lucky that they dont lose interest, not all guys are as lucky as that. but all is well I am still digesting all you had to say about 'the informer'. to me the movie was always as simple as "the guy ratted on a friend, and rats get wut's comin' to them!" But you found a lot of layers that I never knew were there before. by the way, is there a mrs. grimes? good luck with your future ramble anita

hi butterscotch, I promised misgodess I would say hi to you cause she said you were also from texas, don't remember if she said from where but anyplace in Texas is a pretty good place, as far as I am concerned. what kind of classes do you take? maybe film classes? you sound like you know a lot about movies! anita

hi, coopsgal, misgodess told me that you wer also from Texas and I promised I would say hi to you. you have posted lots of great Coop photos, I can see! He was so good in 'high noon', which to my hubby and me is one of the best westerns ever. take care anita

thank you for all the nice photos of cyd, ff, as you probably know she was from amarillo, texas! so one more to do us proud. anita

thank you for the recommendation, arkadin I do want to watch 'the wild bunch', although I've heard it is pretty violent. my hubby wouldn't mind, I'm sure, but some graphic violence does tend to make me squirm in my sofa. anita

I was just lookin at the schedule and realized 'major dundee' is playing overnight. thought it might be set in texas because it takes place near the mexico border, but I looked it up in that database you told me about and it seems it is set in new mexico, not texas. still might be fun to record it for late3r anita

> {quote:title=calicosilver wrote:}{quote} > The '80s wasn't that great a decade for westerns. But "Silverado" was pretty good, yeah. Also, "The Long Riders" and "The Grey Fox" and "The Man From Snowy River" and "Gore Vidal's Billy The Kid" were fairly good. But even these were not very good. Just not a great decade for movies or music. My opinion, of course. i haven't seen very much of those, but I did like "silverado'. kevin costner was just the cutest thing back in the day. and the other ones weren't bad, either, heh heh

I am glad it did not miss it. But it was a lot different than what I was expecting. > > At first, I thought it was one of those stories that was going to be played for laughs...especially with the "stereotypical" portrayal of the gangsters...and the whole "fish out of water" concept. But while there were humorous moments mixed in here and there...it was a much different story than what I first imagined. > > And didn't that Edmund Gwen just steal the show? But then again, doesn't he always. I think this is one of my new favorite roles for him, the more I think about it. The scene where he is talking to Montgomery's character (Silky) about "noblesse oblige" was probably one of my favorite parts. And there is the shadow of the window making a "fence" like pattern between him and "the Earl" as if they were being separated...I got to wondering at one point who was on the inside and who was on the outside of that imaginary fence... > > (mini spoiler) > > And the ending....OH.... as many of you know...I love a good cry. Wasn't that Edward Arnold such a...oh...I don't know... The truth is, I wanted to be angry at him...for what he was doing...but then again....Silky was a bad guy...he'd done a lot of "wrong"...so sooner or later it was bound to catch up to him. I guess in a way they both got what they deserved...I just kept wishing better for poor Silky... But alas... > > I am glad I got the tip in time to watch this one, I think it was a nice surprise....and PS...I agree w/ some of what was said in another thread....there was a bit of "Bugs Bunny" in Silky...or maybe the other way around....I kept waiting for him to say something like..."so long Sammy, see ya in Miami..." oh well... maybe that is another movie :-) > > And...PSS...Miss Maven....enjoy the "friendly skies"...you are a braver soul than I am....I don't think I would want to fly around like that too often...but I bet it is a lot of fun. Enjoy...but be sure to buckle up!! :-) rohonaka, my husband and I were watching this movie last night, I sort of fell asleep cause I'd had a long day helping out at the cat rescue center, put in a lot of hours and was so tired when I got home, but we had the vcr going so I can go back and watch it again. from what I did watch I really enjoyed robert montgomery, I always think he doesnt get enough credit. the resemblance between silky and bugs bunny is soooo funny. I mentioned that to my husband and he didn't get it at first b ut I think later on he kind of got the idea. edqward arnold is good too, I saw him once in a movie with cary grant(whose birthday was today) and he was just right as the heavy, I think it was a greedy banker or something. god knows there are enough of those running around these days, too bad edward arnold is not here to play one of them. god bless, anita

I've seen the old ones with my nephews and they liked them a lot, too. sellars was also good in the "dr. strangelove' movie, whicih I think is coming up on tcm sometime in the coming week but I should check. he was so good at playing many parts, also in the 'mouse that roared'.
