Have you seen these 10 classic films..?
speedracer5 replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
I’ve seen I’ll Be Seeing You, in fact I own it. It’s one of my favorite films to watch around Christmastime. I just watched part of “Ride the Pink Horses,” but I fell asleep. I’ll need to re-watch. I loved “Trouble With Angels.” I’m also a big Hayley Mills and Rosalind Russell fan. I saw “Jurassic Park” in the theater in the 4th grade, I remember loving it. I hate “The Matrix.” I got so sick of the slow-motion fighting scenes that that film popularized. For a few years I couldn’t escape it no matter what film I watched. -

Pink Horses is a Criterion release. Your library may have it. -
I believe they tried to award it to Katharine Hepburn but she wouldn’t appear at the ceremony.
-
Bogie would probably be my favorite of the three... but that also might be because I’ve seen more of his films. All three men are very versatile in different ways, perhaps Cagney is most versatile. How many actors can do gangster films and musicals?? if you haven’t seen it yet, watch Cagney accept his 1974 AFI Lifetime Achievement Award on You Tube.
-
By “crossing the line” do you mean idolizing a man if you’re a woman or vice versa? I don’t know why the sex of a person would matter, we’re all human, so I say “yes,” it’s fine.
-
I haven’t seen Crowe’s version. Costner was a terrible Robin Hood. But I loved Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham.
-
I loved when Frank was the umpire and was doing all the dance routines after making calls that the crowd agreed with. Lol. While watching the movie, we may have purchased the Naked Gun Trilogy/Police Squad set online. Lol.
-
I saw The Adventures of Robin Hood in the theater, it was fantastic.
-
I love The Naked Gun. We just watched this movie the other day. I love when Leslie Nielsen drops Ricardo's pen in the fish tank with the dangerous and aggressive lionfish.
-
I love the Beach Party movies. They're ridiculous, but they have their moments. They also seem to be a bit of the same, with Annette always mad at Frankie for some reason, but they're fun. I love the 50s/60s teen beach movies though. I have the entire Frankie and Annette boxed set. I may have watched all three Beach Party movies that were on last night.

She died last year.

Can somebody help me find this forum post?

I tried performing a Google Search for tcm forum favorite male actor 2010s as our posts sometimes show up as hits on Google, but it wasn't successful. If there is something specific you wanted to add to the conversation about male actors of the 2010s you could just start a new thread. -

The Daily Rant (TCM or Movie Related Only!)
speedracer5 replied to Joe Gillis's topic in General Discussions
I don't care enough about any of the promos or scheduling to complain. I just see what's on, DVR what interests me, ignore what doesn't. Each month is basically the same for me. I have more than enough to watch. -
My idols have always been Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, and Mary Tyler Moore. Lately, as I've learned more about other film stars, I'd have to put Barbara Stanwyck, Bette Davis, John Garfield and James Cagney in there. As much as I love Errol Flynn, I can't really say he's an idol, as I don't want to emulate him. I admire Lucille Ball for how hard she fought for her career and how she overcame so many different obstacles to get where she ended up. Desi Arnaz had a riches to rags to riches story. He overcame all type of adversity to become what he ultimately became. Mary Tyler Moore's Mary Richards character is someone whom I'd want to emulate.

The only time I ever wear a hat is in the winter (if its snowing or really cold). It has the ear flaps the long braided ropes hanging down and a pom-pom on top. Other than that, I don't think I look good in hats, nor do I have a reason to wear one.

I hate those tiny fedoras, I think they’re called trilbys. They look dumb and guys are always wearing them with sweatpants.

The black hat Bridget Fonda wears in “Singles” is becoming trendy again. I’ve seen it on a few some 20-somethings recently.

When I read this, it instantly brought to mind Thelma Ritter in Rear Window : "Must've splattered a lot."

Too bad Dana Andrews didn't have Luminol. With all that blood that had to be in the apartment, you could read a book by the amount of glowing light.

With the end of Oscar month, I'm watching the all-day Jean Harlow birthday tribute while I'm working. I'm watching the West Coast feed of Watch TCM, so I think I'm slightly behind what's airing live right now. When I started watching, the West Coast film looked more appealing than the East Coast one. I just finished Bombshell and now I'm watching Red-Headed Woman. I love Red-Headed Woman. It's so progressive for 1932. I wish we could have seen Harlow in the 40s. I think she would have re-invented herself. She would have been interesting in noir.
