That's a very nice list, Jake! I love Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, and the Mamas and the Papas. Some of my favorite videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wI6uAOHzvo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eu3WIXuzmo

Sometimes it makes for a more compelling movie, I agree. But such situations are also often very bittersweet. I don't want to take the discussion off-topic, but *The Umbrellas of Cherbourg* comes to mind. Having said that, the important thing is that the ending seem true to the story. I don't like movies that feel like they have a tacked-on happy ending.

Like happy endings better?

It has taken me some time to start catching up with some of the rambles here, but I must say that reading the text of Daniel Webster's speech to the jury really made my day. The freedoms to which he refers in *The Devil and Daniel Webster* are as important as ever, which is why I think the movie still works so well today. As always, we must do everything we can to keep the country from "going to the devil".

Hello everybody, I'm new to the forums, but not to TCM itself, the channel has been there for me on many a dreary, boring night. There is no better movie channel on television! I have grown to like Robert Osborne and Ben Mankiewicz (sp?) and look forward to their special events. Although some people are tired of hearing about the Oscars, I am actually looking forward to TCM's " 31 days of Oscar " this year, and have noticed many movies on the schedule I have never watched before. Thank you all for reading this (if you've read this far!) and I look forward to many of your rambles.
