*Just curious...anyone ever watched a movie here?*

Most stunning, perfect eyes in the history of...THE WORLD!

This is a great list...can tell you put much thought into it. But on a lighter touch: Ken Curtis (Festus) *"The Killer Shrews."*

OK...'ya got me! You're right. I have to say, Curtis was ROBBED of Oscars for both *Sweet Smell of Success...The Boston Strangler.* He doesn't mind us having a little fun...he even laughed when setting the record straight on "my faddah's castle lies in 'da yonda."

...and then wonders, "Where's the Beaver?"

Wow! You're amazing...I thought I was the only person who thought they made a mistake with wrong hair for Judy Geeson...you're absolutely right!

"Myles" *(Tony Curtis)*: "Yonda lies 'da castle of my 'faddah."

Even at the peak of his career -- when he was No. 1 box office -- Errol Flynn stated that being in movies and being a star isn't "the be-all and end-all of life...there are other worlds to conquer." From the working actors and actresses I've talked to, being in film is just like going to the office...it's just work.

I heard a studio executive (can't remember who) explain a big head was essential for any actress or actor. Richard Burton...that was a melon!

I always wondered which restroom it was, just out of curiosity. Ones I've seen at Minneapolis airport are always crowded and smelly, as one might imagine. Never seen a public bathroom that would seem appropriate for that kind of thing. Somehow I knew this discussion would be forthcoming. All in good fun, though.

I am BRAVE...actually flew on first Monday after Christmas...wot a nightmare! BUT, first thing I noticed after landing in Minneapolis...televisions in gate areas all turned to TCM! How about messaging the airport bosses there with a thumbs up?

We all know by now, TCM (greatest thing in tv history) airs the masterpiece for the first time Jan. 18, 8:00 PM (EST). But did you know...Michael V. Gazzo is the screenwriter of this gem. Who is Michael V. Gazzo? *Frankie Pentangeli* of "Godfather Part 2." "Hatful of Rain" a powerful tale of heroin addiction in the 1950's. Tony Franciosa's finest performance.

I agree...Attenborough never gave a bad performance. Same for Karl Malden, yes?

Many of you have never seen it, but when you do, you will never forget it. Creepiest, most powerful film of its kind...an atmosphere and story beyond riveting. Director: Richard Fleischer. Cast: Richard Attenborough *(his finest acting job EVER)* John Hurt Judy Geeson Best work of all time ever to come out of Shepperton Studios, London. How I wish TCM would get this masterpiece on...campaign for it, kindred spirits!

Why come not being scheduled? Best thing Tony Randall *ever* did! Robbed of an Oscar nomination.

Anyone sees any connection between the anti-Black accusations regarding "Song of the South" and "Jungle Book"? Edited by: Ascotrudgeracer on Nov 19, 2009 3:08 PM

*I am DETERMINED because nobody else thinks it is very good, but everybody talks about it and I say it's impossible to walk out on it!*

*Creature from the Black Lagoon* My favorite Whit Bissel performance, but there are many others. I especially like it when he is cast against type...playing a heavy.

Don't tell me you're one of those people who call women "actors." *Actresses* is so much better...and precise!

1. Whit Bissel. 2. Gaby Hayes. 3. Ed Wood, Jr. 4. Wallace Reid.

Shall we say *Model Shop* is in the embryo stage of cult status?

Much sought-after in the advertising world. *Mad Men* SHOULD include him on a segment!

Let us not forget the opening titles: *Walk on the Wild Side* (1962) The black cat...the white cat...the catfight!

Now let's not have any snarkiness when TCM aires *The Gay Falcon* Friday morning (6:00 EST) Nov. 20.

This is the most DIFFERENT movie ever made...I love it!
