Some of Robinson’s SOTM tribute overflows into the early morning the day after.

I find Jeanette McDonald’s singing to be very grating on the ears. But I like Ernst Lubitsch, so I may record this film and give it a try.

I’ve seen 691 Dinner at Eight; 695 Calamity Jane; 697 Bells Are Ringing; 700 Unforgiven

When I first glanced at the picture, I thought it was Bette Davis and Raquel Welch. I was very intrigued about this pairing. Then I saw Lawrence's post saying it was Burnt Offerings and that made much more sense. Though I was also disappointed that the pairing of Davis and Welch does not seem to exist.

Exactly. These women love these men SO MUCH and they "won't be ignored." I put Single White Female on hold at the library. I've never seen it before.

I love movies in general, I don't have an arbitrary cut off. I'm basing this list on post-2000 films that I watch the most often. In no particular order: 1 Moulin Rouge! 2 Down With Love 3 Bring it On 4 Mean Girls 5 Little Miss Sunshine 6 Best in Show 7 Tangled 8 Under the Tuscan Sun 9 O Brother, Where Art Thou? 10 Across the Universe

I just got the first Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes (The Hound of Baskervilles) from the library (took forever to get it, there are only 2 copies in the whole library system and there were 4 holds ahead of me). I'm looking forward to watching it.

Last night I celebrated Valentine's Day with a double feature: Play Misty For Me and Fatal Attraction.

684 Written on the Wind. I love this movie. I'm a sucker for over-wrought melodrama, especially over-wrought Douglas Sirk melodramas of the 50s. Though I cannot hear Robert Stack in any film without thinking: "Join me. Perhaps you may be able to help solve a mystery." My favorite part of Written on the Wind is when Dorothy Malone blasts her music and dances around her room all while her father is dying. 687 Burnt Offerings. I love this movie about the creepy house that chooses someone to be their caretaker and sucks the life out of all other inhabitants. Bette Davis is fantastic as the Aunt in this film. I also love Burgess Meredith as one of the house's owners. This movie would make a great double-feature with the original 1975 version (the only version, imo) of The Stepford Wives. I had a double feature last night (for Valentine's Day) of Play Misty For Me and Fatal Attraction. I loved 'Misty.' It was a great movie.

I never said she had to apologize for her voice. People are allowed to dislike things for petty reasons as long as they aren't hurting anyone or themselves.

I saw The Piano back in the day when it first came out on video. I did not like that movie and haven't seen it since. That wasn't because of Hunter, it was because of her fingers getting chopped off in the movie. Ugh.

I think this is one of the most genuinely sweet moments ever on screen:

I would give Chaplin the Oscar. I thought Stewart deserved it for “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” I actually would have given Chaplin the Oscar for “City Lights.” I just saw it in the theater (35mm) a month ago. It’s so cute! I’d seen it before on TCM.

Based on a recommendation from a friend here on the board, I’m watching “Play Misty For Me” (1971). Nothing like a film about obsessive love for Valentine’s Day.

Yes. Aaron Spelling. "You got here by Highway 60?! There a'int no roads!" I love the Ethel's Birthday episode. I love the hostess pants. I also wish we would have seen Lucy wearing the outfit she described at a future "smart dinner party." My absolute favorite part of that episode is when they're at the play and Lucy and Ethel fight over using Fred's binoculars. I love when Fred loudly says "I DON'T CARE" when Lucy asks Fred if she can use his binoculars. But my absolute favorite part is the look Ethel gives Fred as she's sliding his now broken (broken by the irritated man behind Lucy and Ethel) binoculars under the seat.

Where did you find this information? I love Edna Mode. She's the best part of The Incredibles. I'm not particularly a fan of The Incredibles for probably a superficial reason. I hate how the mom has these unnaturally enormous hips and I really dislike her voice.

He's in three episodes. -"Tennessee Ernie Visits" where we're introduced to the six degrees of separation connection he has with Ricky Ricardo. He's driving the Ricardos insane and Lucy ends up dressing as the "wicked city woman" to try and scare him away. It backfires and makes him want to stay more. -"Tennessee Ernie Hangs On" the sequel to his first episode. Tennessee Ernie is still there and eating the Ricardos out of house and home. Lucy schemes with the Mertzes to make it seem like Ricky lost his job and they can no longer afford to board Cousin Ernie. Tennessee Ernie ends up getting them a spot on "Millikan's Chicken Mash Hour" where they sing "Y'all Come" dressed as a hillbilly band. They win. Ernie gets enough money for bus fare, and leaves. -"Tennessee Bound." Enroute to CA, the Ricardos and Mertzes drive through Bent Fork, TN (Cousin Ernie's hometown) and end up getting a ticket for speeding. While trying to pay the ticket, Lucy spouts off at the sheriff and ends up being arrested. Cousin Ernie gets word of their visit and comes over to the police station to help bail Lucy out. I love the one with the hatchet murderess. My favorite part of the entire episode is when they're eating in the car. Elsa Lanchester has watercress sandwiches. Lucy says "[watercress sandwiches] are fine if you like buttered grass," Ethel tries to take her sandwich, and Lucy goes: "I like buttered grass!" as she pulls the sandwich back. Claude Atkins meets the Mertzes in Florida when they're stranded on a desert island. While I love the William Holden episode... my favorite celebrity episode is the Rock Hudson one. There are so many amazing Ethel lines: "I am getting sick and tired of being called a cow!" and then this hilarious Lucy line when she gets flustered introducing herself and Ethel to Rock: LUCY: I'm Lucy Ricardo and this is... this is Mrs...Mrs... ETHEL: Mertz LUCY: Mertz?! My sister and I like to say "Mertz?!" whenever there's a situation with a weird name or an unknown name.

"Made it Johnny! Top of the world!" Then the nightclub blows up.

It seems like the best ending would have been if they'd killed each other; or if there was some type of ending where it's uncertain whether Johnny and Gilda will make it.

You can't get much more obsessed than dressing a woman up to look like another woman you loved (though yes, I have seen the film and know the truth about "Judy" and "Madeline").

She also meets Tennessee Ernie Ford, but he isn't playing himself... he's playing Lucy's mother's friend's college roommate's cousin's middle boy, Ernie. But he sings in his own voice in a song in "Tennessee Ernie Hangs On."

OOH I love Gilda. My only complaint is that the ending feels like a cop-out. "I hate you so much, I would destroy myself to take you down with me."

Tallulah is in the second episode of The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, "The Celebrity Next Door." That episode is hilarious and is the last appearance of Lucy's signature bun hairstyle. She switched to the short-haired wigs starting with the third episode, "Lucy Hunts Uranium" guest starring Fred MacMurray and June Haver. My favorite of the hour-long Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour series is the one with Tallulah, "Lucy Visits Sun Valley" with Fernando Lamas, "Lucy Makes Room For Danny Thomas" guest starring the cast of The Danny Thomas Show, and the first one "Lucy Visits Havana" with Ann Sothern, Cesar Romero, and Rudy Vallee.

I love The Enchanted Cottage!! I can't believe I forgot about that one. I also really love Funny Face. Such a great movie. And the fashion! I wish Kay Thompson made more films.

Mine too! There are three Harold Lloyd films (Safety Last, The Freshman, The Kid Brother); The Blob, Leave Her to Heaven, Dance Girl Dance, Kiss Me Deadly, Showboat
