I agree. And it's in one of those, I believe, there's appearances of a young and uncredited CLINT EASTWOOD as a lab assistant. Sepiatone

Like CLAUDE RAINES, I am shocked. SHOCKED that it took ELEVEN POSTS for someone to mention *Anatomy Of a Murder* ! It's too bad that too many here seem to have this hatred for Tom Cruise, because the courtroom scenes in *A Few Good Men* are excellently done. Even the ones WITHOUT Nicholson. I reccomend taking the time Euginia. And otherwise, my list doesn't stray too far from the norm: TOO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD THE VERDICT PHILADELPHIA NUTS YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU And there are two movies which titles I can't recall. One is a movie from I think the early '90's, in which Cher, I think, defends a deaf homeless man (Liam Neeson) for murder, and another early '60's movie in which Anthony Franciosa plays a down and out lawyer who defends a woman for murdering her husband. Anyone who supplies those titles has my undying gratitude! As for the ones that DON'T work for me, I've put them out of my mind so far I can't think of them. Maybe the courtroom footage in HENRY FONDA'S "ABE LINCOLN" movie. Sepiatone Edited by: Sepiatone on Mar 16, 2013 1:18 PM

I'm with Dargo on this one. In the early days of Nickleodeon, they used to run those old YBYL shows. Before that, our local PBS station would occasionally show them on weekends. AND I can still recall seeing it as a kid. I always loved the way Groucho would rib some of the contestants, some who didn't seem to realize they were being ribbed. Or how he would shamelessly hit on the young women who were contestants. I do recall one show in which an 11 year old CANDACE BERGEN was a contestant, as well as JOHNNY WEISMULLER on another. It does gall me to think some would destroy such entertainment history treasures because they're "taking up space". NOW I wished they saved those OSCAR LEVANT films! Sepiatone PS. SOMEbody had to concieve and sell the idea of making KINESCOPES. THAT guy deserves a special corner in Heaven!

I've always liked this movie. Two main reasons: 1. Hoffmann convincingly pulls off the transition between being a man and a woman. Too many, even the admitted "cross dressers" over exaggerate the femininity. 2. His woman character closely resembles one of my favorite high school English teachers, an excellent educator and highly respected by all her students. But the only problem I have now with it is in concentration. I keep hearing in my head the song satirist MARK RUSSELL wrote that year, "TOOTSIE FOR PRESIDENT" and the line, "With Dustin Hoffman as your running mate, you'll pick up twice the pay!" I always liked Bill Murray's line in the movie, "You...****!" Sepiatone

"Bobbin' my head"? When hearing DISCO INFERNO? YEP. Usually over a BARF BAG! Next thing I know, you'll be trying to convince me BLONDIE was ROCK'N'ROLL! Sepiatone

I wouldn't bother with *Ice Station Zebra* . While having a good cast, and footage of submarine and sea, the Antarctic "land" scenes look as if they were shot on old sets left over from the TV show *Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea* . You half expect to see DAVID HEDDISON pop up any second! Sepiatone

You gotta wonder at what kind of RESPECT it shows a SAINT, on a day set aside for him, by celebrating it with getting fish-faced on green beer and fouling the air with the side effects of corned beef and cabbage! Sepiatone

ALAN MOWBRAY was always delightful in that role. Always thought if I ever had a butler, it would be like him. EDWARD EVERETT HORTON, in his later years was also good. Then, of course, there's the unflappable ARTHUR TREACHER. Sepiatone

Driving in my car yesterday afternoon when news of the white smoke came over the radio. The announcer went on and on in speculation of WHO it could be. He kept phrasing things like..."WE never had an American pope. WE never had a BLACK pope! WE haven't had a non-European pope since..." I thought, "Whaddya mean WE?" I'm an agnostic, Episcopalian baptized Polack whose family has a Jewish background! I don't give a DEAD FLY'S EYE who the pope is! Huhn..."WE"! Phhht! Sepiatone

I'm retired. So now I usually hit the sack about the time I used to get up for WORK! If TCM's "Underground" looks interesting, I'm usually still up to watch it. Sepiatone

Clearly, Gerard has become France's answer to Marlon Brando! Over the years, I've heard many of the "old timers" in entertainment wax nostalgically about the Catskills. It's on my list as one of those places I'd have liked to have gone to that are now gone. Like the old SANDS hotel/casino in Vegas, or JACK DEMPSEY'S in NYC. Sepiatone

In my last post Fedya, I addressed the notion that pidgeon-holeing any age group as to their entertainment tastes is foolish, as I know plenty of people from many age groups who feel differently about these things. I don't see CHER as an attraction for a younger audience, since there are no doubt many under 30 who have NO idea who the hell she is! I'd go with DARGO'S subliminal hint that if that was the case, Justin Timberlake might have been the better choice, and even HE is getting "long in the tooth" entertainer-wise. And finance, I personally find it hard to believe that ANYONE can actually "groove" to DISCO! Sepiatone

What a world, huh? No longer do musicians need to get together in a studio. They can literally "phone in" their performances( it's supposedly how Fleetwood Mac put together "RUMOURS"). No longer do actors have to go out on "location". You can now "green screen" the locale. You really haven't any NEED for actors. You can just CGI them! Even the VOICES can be created electronically. OY! Sepiatone

You might want to redo that image, darkblue. all I got was a little box with a red "X" inside. Sepiatone

I haven't read it yet( I'll get around to it), but just by your quick summary, it appears to be a movie that wouldn't have been MADE in it's time period. THAT'S piqued my interest. It's funny how, in spite of loud protest to the contrary, attitudes have largely changed. There's a KINDLE TV ad that shows a man and woman sitting next to each other on a beach. She mentions to the man, "My HUSBAND is getting me a drink." HE replies, "So is MINE." Then they both turn and wave at two men at the bar. You'd have never seen that ad 10 years ago. OR your movie made 65 years ago! Sepiatone

So, FRED! You're a REPORTER of some kind? I thought reporters did RESEARCH! Had you done some, you'd realize the word is NARCS, NOT "Narks", the "narc" part coming from the word "NARCotics". Nonetheless, an interesting take on *Jackie Brown* . And MY thought was the movie was ALREADY a sequel of sorts. Of PAM GRIER'S earlier movies as that character. Sepiatone

Sorry, but after too many years of "Riverdance", and NOW with Donny Wahlberg's show about Boston cops, and the "Southie Rules" reality show, I'm all "Irished out"! Add the fact that I don't really like corned beef AND cabbage(together, at least), don't care for whiskey or that bottled sewage called "Guiness", there will be NO "Happy St. Patty's Day" around MY house!

You know you'd have to make the mistaken assumption that everyone in a particular age group thinks alike. Which isn't true. I've often stated that my wife, who's older than me, doesn't easily gravitate towards the programming of TCM. And one of my brothers-in-law, who's 15 years my senior, thinks it's funny that I like, "All them old, creaky" movies. On the other hand, when another BIL and I were talking about old "Twilight Zone" episodes, and the "Alfred Hitchcock" programs he found on some website, HIS son scoffed, "Who wants to watch all that old sh** anyway?", HIS best friend chimed in, "HEY! I LIKE a lot of those old shows". My younger daughter, who is 37, never misses a Sy-Fy "Twighlight Zone" marathon. Her older sister, 40, thinks "that old crap" is useless. My 67 year old cousin's 16 year old GRANDSON keeps getting into my cousin's LED ZEPPELIN LPs. The kid LOVES them. AND Hendrix. My 25 year old niece can't get enough LAUREL & HARDY and BUSTER KEATON. HER 27 year old boyfriend can't STAND "Them scratchy old flicks" In many ways, all TCM needs to do is to generate EXPOSURE. People of all ages will find it and love it.

All I really know about Jackson is that he seemed to, in a shorter time span, go the Louis Gossett route. First, he was listed as "Sammy Jackson". Then a couple of flicks later, he was "Sam Jackson" then eventually, he's Samuel L. Jackson" The first film I heard of him in was that so-so flick in the earlier '90's with Nicholas Cage. "SAMMY JACKSON?" I asked myself, "Surely NOT the guy from the TV version of *No Time For Seargents* ?" But subsequently, I got around to who this highly talented fellow really was. And FRED! A movie clip of Jackson with CUSSING in it? How does such a thing EXIST? Sepiatone

Cool! NOW, along with LOL and ROTFL, we can add FOOMCL! Sepiatone

From what I've read about novak's career, finance, *Boys Night Out* was panned critically, and largely ignored at the box office. Don't know why. I always kind of liked it. *Of Human Bondage* wasn't a big draw for her, either. But I thought she did the role well. In HER remake, it's LAURENCE HARVEY I have an issue with. I think Harvey was a really good actor. But he didn't do much for his "Bondage" part. Sepiatone

There always seemed to be several sides to Monroe, heard from different angles from different people. Those who worked with her had one take, those who knew her APART from movie making had another, and old friends had yet some OTHER side to tell. Hers is as tragic a story as that of Elvis. If the fans who "loved" him actually loved him enough to leave him be, he might still be alive today. Marylin, however, would be pushing 87, and might have died by now, anyway. But maybe lived until close to now. Who could really say? Sepiatone

You can tell the puppet's French because he's wearing a beret, and doesn't have any hands, which means he fights with his FEET! ( won't go where what he does with his face...) Sepiatone

Good point, Top. I mean, look at the themes listed by RM. In three of those, *Imitation of Life* would fit nicely. And I'm sure, with little effort, many here can think of several that would work in all four! Sepiatone

Don Cheadle has that same ability, MissW. Know what you mean. But what, outside of his movies, do we know about Samuel Jackson? Could be, comparatively, he lives a spartan lifestyle. Made several shrewd investments. That's MY guess, anyway. He certainly isn't dumb enough to turn down work. Witness his appearance in some mighty good movies. But then also *Snakes On A Plane* . Betcha he got PAID for THAT one, too! Gotta love 'im! Sepiatone
