HollywoodGolightly

Ugarte Peter Lorre, Casablanca (1942)

Yes but a bit more recent than that.

The director is an Oscar winner.`

Nope. Want a hint?

Here's one that should be relatively easy. I think.

Local Hero ?

Anyone who can come up with a clever screen name like yours must have a lot to offer! You're much too kind, Chip. I'll enter if I can play on a non-competitive basis, which I believe other participants have done before. I just want to have fun. I don't ask for a single vote in return. P.S. You can call me "Holly" for short, if you like. It's not my RL name but it should be easy enough for folks to remember.

Flynn, Errol

Under Capricorn

Touch?!

So are there any Ingmar Bergman fans here? I first became aware of and interested in Bergman's movies way back in college, and saw quite a few of his films at that time. I didn't seem to like him quite as much as Truffaut, Bu?uel or De Sica - but I think I must have liked him a bit more than Fellini. The passage of time probably helps gain greater appreciation for Bergman's movies, of which Fanny and Alexander probably remains one of his most accessible ones (I have enjoyed both the theatrical version and the extended Swedish TV version). Of the rest, The Seventh Seal is probably my favorite, followed by Smiles of a Summer Night. I do remember having been very impressed by Wild Strawberries when I first watched it, too. It's been a while, of course. (It's nice to see it on the TCM schedule for tonight). Who else (if anybody) likes Bergman?

I remember the time, before I was really that big of a classic film buff, when it first started to sink in that some movies were based on real events. Some of the very first ones were probably Scorsese's Raging Bull and Goodfellas, which I still think are among his best movies, and My Left Foot starring Daniel Day-Lewis. Of the classic movies I've seen recently, the first ones that come to mind are The Pride of the Yankees, Three Faces of Eve and Boomerang!. I'm sure more will come to mind in a while.

> {quote:title=konway87 wrote:}{quote} > HollywoodGolightly, Will you post what you think about this film after you watch it? I definitely will, although I might not watch it when it's on, since I'm recording it. But I've heard very good things about this one, I think I'm gonna like it.

Has anyone else been following the news about the outbreak of the swine flu? Here is a map of all suspected swine flu infections around the world: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-swine-flu-google-map,0,6178104.htmlstory In a worst-case scenario, if you should be quarantined, would you be willing to lock yourself up at home and do nothing but watch TCM all day long?

Who'd be the director?

Sean Thornton John Wayne, The Quiet Man

Shadow of a Doubt

Quartet

Of Mice and Men

William Powell Judy Garland or Shirley Temple?

Flakes nw: breaded

Blade Runner nw: serenade

Overall, I think the strengths are far greater than the weaknesses; it might have been even more effective with a slightly shorter running time. But the photography, score, performances, etc. are all first-rate, I think.
