I thank you for your kind words. I am an interesting and thoughtful person and I hope my writing carries a trace of that in a variety of contexts but it is: about movies that I have little to contribute. This is what I mean when I speak of knowledge or analyzing movies. An excellent movie to me is one which is more than the sum of its parts and the: 'techniques' or 'tricks' used become transparent. As Example: The Third Man (1949) is famous for: "Dutch Angle" shots but I never picked that out as a contributing aspect because it simply became part of the story the same as the bombed-out buildings and H. Lime's guile. I understand fully what you are saying and your attitude towards the subject but I face the fact that I feel it would contribute little to a discussion of Bell, Book and Candle (1958) to mention that I love the: Christmas tree and her gown when she is speaking to: Pyewacket is to die for.

It is sad to say that it is not the first time I have been mistaken. I am sure that it has happened at least once before. I am very glad that you liked that movie! I find it to be a very charming comedy of errors. I can nearly see: Doris Day and: Rock Hudson in the lead roles.

I thank you for your attention. I remember your stating that you put my suggestions on your lists of movie to watch when possible. I did not know that you had actively sought out any. I do very much hope they were to your liking.

Nearly every pawn shop in this area has a wall full of: DVDs and/or: VHS tapes. They are a glorious mixture of old and new, mainstream and obscure, violence and romance. It is common for them to be: $2 each but ten for $10 no matter the subject or condition.

I confess that I rarely buy movies because of limited space and even more limited funds. I did purchase some today when I went to see what a new pawn shop had to offer: Funny Face (1957) Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) Africa Screams (1949) Memoirs of a Geisha (2005)

I will say in my defense that I rarely add comments to my lists because of my limited knowledge, that I do not analyze movies and because my tastes are at variance with the majority. Limited knowledge: American movies which I know are very mainstream. I am sure that all here have watched all the movies which I might include in any list. I doubt that there are many domestic movies which I know which have not been shown on: TCM. I have no things to contribute as to obscure facts, importance of the movie or any other factor which might possibly be entertaining or enlightening. I believe a movie's inclusion in a list signals that I like it. Analysis: I realize that I am shallow person in that I do not analyze why I like things. I am content to merely enjoy them. Any comments which I might make concerning vast majority of movies would be boring repetition of: "I like it." "I love it." "I like it." "I love it." "I like it." ... My tastes: I feel it would be inappropriate for me to add comments to list of foreign movies because I believe that aspects which I find noteworthy would not be seen in the same way by those here. I know also that it would be very rare thing for any here to seek out any foreign movie which I might place in my lists no matter what I might say of it. I am positive that no one has ever watched any foreign movie because I recommended it even when I included information that that movie is available for viewing in full for free with English subtitles on: YouTube. I continue to include foreign movies in my lists solely due to a very few people having commented that they will occasionally add those movies to their lists of things to watch when available on television. I appreciate when others make comments concerning movies in their lists because those comments are often enlightening and informative when they concern movies which I have not watched. .

I do not know if this is of assistance but: E. R. Hamilton Booksellers has: MAD ABOUT YOU: Seasons 1 & 2 on DVD for: $9.95. http://www.hamiltonbook.com/Television-Radio/mad-about-you-seasons-1-2 I could not find in their listings DVDs for other seasons but their stock fluctuates wildly and they may have had others last week and may have others next week. I have found them to be a very good source for: classic DVDs because of their low prices, fast shipments and reliable delivery. They use the same heavy boxes for shipping: DVDs as they use for shipping: hardcover books. The main downsides of them for me is ever-changing stock and only a few thousand titles.

I purchased a pair of: TCM-branded sneakers from the Opioid Club website. I do not know what they laced them with but I have been trippin' all day.

I must wonder if it is for the best that: The Wild Women of Wongo (1958), The Nude Vampire (1970) and Nude on the Moon (1961) are all: one-of-a-kind movies.

I am sorry to say that it is: foreign language movie for me also. I had once opportunity to learn: Swedish but I demurred because body of films in that language did not seem to me to be sufficient for work involved in learning the language rather than reading subtitles. I am sorry now that I did not explore that opportunity.

I love very much movies which are on unexplored edges of genre and so have no counterparts. Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970) is logical and realistic science fiction which has truly rare ending. A Boy and His Dog (1975) has typical characters in typical setting but plot and twists are far from typical. I believe that can be expected as it is based on story by: H. Ellison whose stories often seem to be formulated of equal parts of: S. Dali, M. C. Escher and R. Dahl. I believe that I can state with no fear of argument that: Tetsuo, the Iron Man (1989), Drowning by Numbers (1988) and The Seventh Seal (1957) are quite unique. I feel that much of the motivation for directors of: Czech surrealism in: 1960s was desire to rid cinema of all conventions and so be unique voice. Movies such as: When the Cat Comes (1963), A Report on the Party and the Guests (1966) and Daisies (1966) have no exact parallels in movie history. I find that most movies by: director H. Miyazaki are unique in that he combines ancient concepts with innocence of childhood. I know of no counterparts of: My Neighbor Totoro (1988), Castle in the Sky (1986) or: The Castle of Cagliostro (1979). I find the works by: director S. V. Loznitsa to be unique in that the topics are relatively common but the perspective of them is quite new. In the Fog (2012) is excellent example of this. Repentance (2013), Formula of Love (1984) and Russian Ark (2002) are truly: one-of-a-kind movies which most here will never watch. I would be remiss if I did not state that it is clear that: Capuchin is quite definitely: one-of-a-kind in that he admits that when they made him then they broke the mold and there are evil rumors of what they did to the mold-makers to ensure there would never be another like him.

I must wonder who is: General Fault and why he is often reading my hard drive.

I believe that is for bird-brains.

I did not wish to appear pedantic.

I fear that I might become banned from this site if there is filter to detect: odd character.

Is that: BBC English, Oxford English, Queen's English, American English, Australian English or Anglophone Caribbean English?

For those who do not know source of the movie quote: it appears in: The Emperor's New Groove (2000): I find such a line is a wonderful device because it calls into question some aspect of in-movie experience but does not break the: fourth wall and is quite funny while not being an independent joke. It seems to me that there must be similar lines in other movies but I can think of none. Please help!

I feel that: The Emperor's New Groove (2000) uses narration excellently. I love in particular the scene in which the: "off-screen" narrator stops the movie and sticks his head up and redirects the audience's attention to the llama in the sack.

Dear Brigitte (1965) I believe that this is: Premiere on: TCM. I find this movie to be very fun and uncomplicated. It had strange aspect for me as I felt while watching it first time that little boy might send some person to the corn field.

L'Avventura (1960) I feel that this is: Michelangelo Antonioni's best movie.

I do not rely on observation. I open several pages by using: 'load more' option at bottom of list of threads. I then use browser's: 'Find on this Page' feature to search for word in title of thread. I find that this makes for rapid search because I am not distracted by looking at: subjects of threads and opening a few to see last comments.

Another Man's Poison (1951) I believe that this is my favorite: Bette Davis movie.
