When women are upset and the obvious solution is to slip them a tranquilizer. Ugh!

A trope is a common plot device. Like the evil twin storyline in a soap opera. The classic rags to riches story. Things like that.

Mitchum's pot bust is a fact. It would be mentioned because it's part of his life and story. These unsubstantiated rumors about Kirk are not fact and should not be mentioned as part of someone's story. These types of rumors are meant to slander someone's legacy and reputation.

I thought the concept of this film was interesting. Bogart basically uses his wives as a muse for his work and when he's done, he moves onto another woman. I actually liked it for the most part. I had to suspend belief that Stanwyck would be waiting in the wings for two years after finding out her beau was married. I just imagine that conversation: "Hey my invalid wife died. We can get married now." I actually found the weakest part of the film to be the daughter. Why was she the only person in the family to have an affected British accent? I also thought that she was rather patronizing for a child.

People of all generations have a prejudice against b&w movies, not just millennial.

I guess this is too obvious?

A pot bust, where he was caught, tried, and served time in jail for (and fully admitted to doing btw) is hardly the same as speculating on someone being involved in a horrific crime. A brutal rape is hardly the same as smoking pot at a party.

Okay I will take back not having rewatched his films. Tom Hanks does a great job as Woody in the Toy Story series. I have seen the first two multiple times. I've seen the third one, but only once, because it was so sad I don't know if I can see it again. I haven't seen the 4th one, and am conflicted on whether or not it should even exist. With that said, I have seen his wife, Rita Wilson's appearance on The Brady Bunch more times than I've ever seen a Tom Hanks film, Toy Story included.

I doubt that Siskel and Ebert were "furious," perhaps just disappointed or confused. Perhaps it was difficult to produce or what not, but that doesn't mean that it has to be one of my favorites of the year. There were bits and pieces that I liked--I loved seeing the Warner Brothers and Disney characters together. But there wasn't really anything about the movie that made me want to see it again. I love the ride though. I like it because you can make your taxicab spin around while you go through the ride. The ride also has a great queue.

That was Heather Chandler. Poor Heather Duke (Shannen Doherty) is suffering from stage 4 breast cancer.

I find with Tom Hanks, while I don't dislike him per se, I never see his films more than once. I also usually find that he's not my favorite part of the film. I liked Cast Away, but thought that Wilson delivered the best performance. I also liked Saving Mr. Banks but that was more for Emma Thompson. The only part of Forrest Gump that I liked was Sally Field.

Meh. She's faking it. 😉

I see 89 on IMDB, Wiki says 1988. Rotten Tomatoes says 1988. But I see both dates all over the internet. It looks like the movie originally premiered in Italy in 1988, but wasn't released in the US until 1989.

611 Modern TImes, yes 612 The Wizard of Oz, yes 613 Looks really familiar. I recognize Dennis Morgan... 614 I'm guessing is The Razor's Edge, I haven't seen that one yet 615 Also looks familiar. I believe that's Glenn Ford. 616 Anatomy For Murder. I haven't seen that one yet

I just re-watched The Strange Love of Martha Ivers. I believe that it was one of Kirk's first films, if not his actual first film. It's such an interesting film and I loved that you never really knew what side Kirk was on. My friends (who enjoy classic film like I do, but aren't as knowledgeable about it as I am) wanted to watch a Kirk Douglas film. I recommended Ace in the Hole. They rented it and loved it. I found that that film is just as timely now as it was in 1951 when it was made. I loved Kirk in The Story of Three Loves where he played the circus performer with Pier Angeli. His story was my favorite.

I dissected a baby pig in the 7th grade. In 10th grade, I dissected a squid. I had to do all the cutting because my partner was all squeamish. I was like meh and went ahead with it. That's when I learned that I would be a terrible surgeon. I do not have a steady hand.

I agree. Then there are films like Casablanca or The Maltese Falcon where the ending is not necessarily exciting, but it's memorable or ends with the perfect quote. I am trying to decide where Casablanca's climax is. I'm inclined to think that it's when Louis shifts his loyalty and dumps the Vichy water in the garbage. I think The Maltese Falcon's climax is when they finally get the bird and unwrap it.

I would argue that the ending of Sorry, Wrong Number is also the climax. It was fantastic. Odds Against Tomorrow's climax I'd say was the heist. The heist was fantastic as is the ending. I just saw Kiss Me Deadly for the first time last night. Loved it! I would argue that the climax was also the ending. That ending was fantastic.

I've seen 604 I Was a Male War Bride and 607 Cape Fear.

Heathers is 1988. I also love that movie. It’s so delightfully weird and morbid.

Meh. I like the ride at Disneyland better than the movie.

I love The Naked Gun. "I practice safe sex." "So do I." (She walks in wearing a giant c o n d o m) *. LOL. * Apparently Otto practices VERY safe sex. You cannot even type c o n d o m. I also love Coming to America. "Let your souuuuuuuul glowwwww." My personal top 5 for 1988: 1) The Naked Gun (I was going to put Coming to America here, because I'd forgotten about Naked Gun) 2) Coming to America 3) Beetlejuice 4) The Great Outdoors (the one flaw being that they saved the girls from the cave). More bear, less kids would have improved that film. 5) Cocktail (except for the bummer suicide part)

I just saw Good Night and Good Luck recently. That was a great film!

"Love means never having to say you're sorry" What kind of dumb quote is that? If you're in love with someone you SHOULD say you're sorry if you do something that hurts them. (I step on my husband's foot) ME: I don't need to apologize. Love means never having to say you're sorry.

I would have given the Oscar to The Shawshank Redemption over 'Gump' and Pulp Fiction as well.
