Find the Movie Star in Classic TV
LonesomePolecat replied to allaboutlana's topic in Games and Trivia
Ooooo I remember this one but not quite sure which star it was (since there were so many)... Cornel Wilde? -
Animal - Frank Oz in, well, let's just say THE MUPPET MOVIE

There's another POW film I really enjoy, but it's really recent so you won't see it on TCM: Rescue Dawn --it's a Vietnam War POW film, so it shows how there was no food even for the captors, and how they're in the middle of the jungle so escape is even harder. Plus it shows how great Steve Zahn is. I'm surprised no one mentioned THe Bridge on the River Kwai --another great POW film, oddly enough starring the star of Stalag 17 and one of the British stars of The Great Escape.

NOWHERE can I find the ruddy answer to this question, so I thought I'd turn to my amazing TCM Forum Members. Someone who owns it or has rented it please tell me: Does the DVD of The King's Speech include the PG-13 version or not? As a teacher in Conservative Land, the R rated version would be a useless investment, so I really need to know. Thanks! (meanwhile, feel free to discuss the film)

I was so glad to see "Star" on TCM-- I really liked it. Some cracking great numbers. Julie rocks, as we already know, but it was also interesting to learn about Gertrude Lawrence, who to me was the star of The King and I. I never knew she was such a big star.

MORGAN FREEMAN TO BE 39th ANNUAL AFI RECIPIENT
LonesomePolecat replied to spencerl964's topic in General Discussions
I love Morgan Freeman best in "Driving Miss Daisy." It's amazing to think how young he was, and how believable he was as Hoak (Hoke?). -
Don't ask me why but I adore "Please Don't Eat the Daisies". But then Doris rocks. She is so much better than she seems to be on the surface of her Rock Hudson comedies. What a talented actress and great singer. In fact I wish SHE was in the film version of "South Pacific". Put her in the film and take out the filters and that film would improve vastly.

I too adore the precode era--- well, the early '30s. The late '20s are still trying to iron out the sound kinks. But 1932 is a great year! American Madness, Number 17, Grand Hotel, Horse Feathers, Red Dust, etc, not to mention classics like I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang that I still haven't seen yet.

Game: Name the fictitious place, name the movie

I didn't mean to split hairs, I was just thinking that it might not be the same movie because of that distinction. Great movie. Next location: Butch's Place -
