I'd added this to the discussion on the Warner Archive Collection titles, but thought it might merit a separate discussion here in the silent forum. These titles are all silents or early talkies...
*The following titles will be available on the Warner Archive Collection June 15:*
*? Beau Brummel (1924)*
*? Better Ole, The (1926)*
*? Divine Lady, The (1929)*
*? First Auto, The (1927)*
*? Let Us Be Gay (1930)*
*? Min and Bill (1930)*
*? Old San Francisco (1927)*
*? Politics (1931)*
*? Reducing (1931)*
*? Sea Hawk, The (1924)*
*? When a Man Loves (1927)*

Wife Vs. Secretary was a pretty fun movie. All 3 top stars are in top shape. Very well written, great screwball comedy.

Yes, that would be awesome, but with the release of Directed by John Ford and Wagon Master, we're already getting a double dose of Ford this Fall.
On other news, I don't think I'd heard anything about the BD release of It's a Wonderful Life until today. It's _rumored_ to be due for release on 11/3, but it is NOT official just yet. (It would make a lot of sense, obviously, to release it in time for the Holidays).
Paramount might also be releasing the 2nd season of Star Trek and the movies based on The Next Generation on BD in time for the holidays - at least according to the "Rumor Mill" column at digitalbits.com

I like that movie a lot, too; we should have a discussion one of these days. Here's a screencap from The Misfits

I hope you'll continue to enjoy all the Clark Gable movies. He was one of a kind! Have you seen The Misfits already?

I made some screencaps from the Lest We Forget short... and I wanted to share them with my fellow Coop fans!!
Here he is, near the beginning of the short, with Harry Carey:

Did anyone catch the promo for the CFU just a little while ago, after the Lest We Forget short and before Kitty Foyle ?

Hi stahrmonroe - that's a great video! Thanks for posting.
And to all Coop fans - don't forget the "Lest We Forget" short is coming up in about 15 minutes!!

Hi clore!
They're usually called bobbleheads, I think. And although I haven't ordered mine yet, they sure do look _mighty tempting_ !
-
Night Has a Thousand Eyes - Listen to Triton!
next: The Magnificent Dope (1942)

Mmm. Could make a nice double feature with Jackie Brown.
On second thought... maybe not.
-
Um... could it be that someone's got his posters confused?

Michelle Pfeiffer was in The Russia House with Sean Connery
