Rickey replied to clore's topic in General Discussions
I will. I'm looking forward to watching it. -
Anne Baxter, age 16, "Rebecca" screen test
Rickey replied to FredCDobbs's topic in General Discussions
Rebecca is one of those movies I'll watch everytime it airs. What a great supporting cast also. For me it's one of those movies that just pulls you in. Fontaine certainly played the "insecurity" to the hilt. I always felt so sorry for her as she was coming down to the costume party after Mrs. Danvers set her up about the costume she should wear. -

Did anyone happen to catch "Over The Goal" (1937) on Hopper day?? I enjoyed this one, Hattie McDaniel & Eddie "Rochester" Anderson were halarious!!!! There was also a guy playing the trumpet and singing I thought was really good (I like music from the teens, 20's, 30's etc..). Does anyone know he was and what the songs were??? Wish I had burned this one on DVD. -

I have Mystery House burned to DVD but haven't watched it yet. There are a lot of B movies I'm a big fan of. -

Very cool...(and very good at 16 years of age!!!!!!) -
Fred, I grew up in Alabama and from what I remember where I lived you had pockets of areas that were pretty bad and then you had larger areas that were nothing like FitzPatric depicted. Cotton was a big industry where I was (Huntsville, Al), but you had both blacks and whites out in those cotton fields picking.

I remember back in the 1970's one of the local Drive-In Theaters had a horror triple feature, Dracula's Daughter was one of the movies. This one Drive In was always having multiple horror and Sci-Fi flicks trying to attract people.

I always thought Glenn Strange looked great in the Frankenstein Monster make-up. Years ago when Don Post Studio had the contract making Universal horror masks (sold in the back of Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine), at one time they had two Fankenstein Mask to choose from, one from Karloff and the other of Glenn Strange.

any actors or actresses who were exactly your type?
Rickey replied to FloydDBarber's topic in General Discussions
What I would give to hang out with George Sanders, just think he was so cool. I also think if he were in his prime today he would make the perfect James Bond. -
Speaking of Chaplin, today is the birthdate of Jackie Coogan. I've always liked "The Kid".

$70.00 is outrageous for any DVD!!!!!!!! I've bought several used DVD's off Amazon and have had very good luck with the exception of one and I got a fast refund on it. Of course being use, you never know until it arrives in the mail.

Warren William for me.... -
I don't remember "One Step Beyond", good title. I'll have to check into that. 50 episodes for $5.00!!!! Now that's a bargain. Thanks for the info, I appreciate that.

Where's Warren William when he's needed??? (LOL) This is the first I've heard of this. Guess it's not surprising the way re-makes keep getting cranked out these days (I don't know what they're calling them today either). -

I liked the Perry Mason television series but also love the Perry Mason movies with Warren William. Wish they would have made more of them. -

I enjoyed Over The Goal. Had some good music and it's always good to see Hattie McDaniel & Eddie Anderson in anything. -
Tuesday May 24 11:15AM EST *Camelot* (1967)
Rickey replied to SansFin's topic in General Discussions
I have always liked Excalibur. Camelot I've only watched once and didn't care for. Richard Harris does have some work I think very highly of though. -
That's a good line-up!!!!!! Wish all of these were playing this month. As far as Plan 9 From Outer Space, I actually have a lot of respect for Ed Wood. He faced all odds against him but pursued making films. Where many would have gave up he never did and earned a living doing what he loved.

Everything about these classics were designed to be shot in black&white, color would take so much away from them. Most of the greatest art still photography was done in black & white also, Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier Bresson, etc....
-
Thriller was great!!!!!!!!! Amazon has the complete series. Thriller, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, television used to have some awsome shows....

The first thing I thought last night, "she sure acts like she does not want to be here". I suppose her personality just doesn't come across very well.

Most modern (1970's till today) horror movies don't hold my attention for more than a few minutes either. I have no desire at all for the gore and blood. While Lon Chaney was star of the month and Phantom Of The Opera was aired, there were some tense and frightening moments in that movie. Especially during the 2 strip technicolor portion that had Chaney coming down the staircase wrapped in red with the scull mask on. That was scarey!!!
