Threads like this for some reason don't seem to need being elsewhere or the mods would have moved them(like they've done to other threads at times) to where they think they should be. And at least while posting your queries you could have at least added a pertinent reply. like---- SPENCER TRACY And BRICKS; Your mention of MATTHEW BRODERICK is fine So too, is his father, actor JAMES BRODERICK.

OH. You want the BEST garbage Oscar? HERE ya GO! Sepiatone

We've done "alliterative" actors, and Rhyming actors. Now let's try those who have two first names. Sadly, although suggesting it, the only off the top names I can come up with is comic actor KEVIN JAMES Oh, and of course TERRY THOMAS and DANNY THOMAS And now?---------- Y'all's turn. Sepiatone

"DISHONOURABLE" Mention? That superfluous "u" tells me this is either a Canadian or British group being characteristically impudent about what's mostly the American movie industry. These snobs didn't seem to like ANY movie, and maybe movies in general. I wouldn't give them another or any serious thought. Sepiatone

In DEAD END('37) the scene in which Kay(Wendy Barrie) goes looking for Dave(Joel McCrea) in his tenement building and is shocked at the sight of roach infested overflowing garbage cans in the halls always strikes me as raw and gritty realism as far as garbage in movies is concerned. Sepiatone

Anybody here that recognized that "another wacko" was TOM BERENGER in his third major film role? The only miscast I thought was WILLIAM ATHERTON, whose character in the book was described as a more stocky kind of physicality. And more "babyfaced". I thought Keaton did pretty well in the role. But I like it when a certain actor/actress gets cast in a role that's "against type" for them. Sepiatone

I thought ONCE AROUND was OK, but not really "extraordinary". My wife and I thought it was kind of funny(in a way) since at the time, my daughter was going through the same "May-December" relationship with a much older man who would become her husband and is now her ex. I dreaded the thought of trying to carry Lee's (his name) fat a-ss into some emergency ward. But luckily, he was able to drive himself to get his triple bypass. Sepiatone

I like both THE GOODBYE GIRL and MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS equally, although(and obviously not the fault of Dreyfuss) I was frustrated at the end of "Opus" when the small orchestra, made up of many of Holland's alums, played that piece of music it seemed he worked FORTY YEARS on that wound up nothing but less than TEN MINUTES of what sounded like "intro"! Sepiatone

Did anyone else here look in on A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS? ('37) yesterday? Weren't my girl GRACIE ALLEN and husband GEORGE BURNS quite the hoofers? I always thought they could dance a little, but what they did in this flick surprised even an old B&A fan like me! Believe it or not this was the first time I saw this movie, and I'm surely going to hit Amazon to look for a copy! Sepiatone

When I get more time I'll watch what's on the link. But I've long liked Dreyfuss too. From AMERICAN GRAFFITI, DILLINGER, and JAWS and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS along with THE GOODBYE GIRL and even his performance in THE COMPETITION even though he did get a "Razzy" for that one. Oh, and most of the movies he made in between the ones I mentioned. Didn't see all of his flicks, but that just means I have a lot to look forward too. Sepiatone

True enough. Should have just singled THAT one out. Sepiatone

I did say it depends on the pic of Cal you reference. That pic up there reminds me more of my 7th grade homeroom teacher Mr. Henson. Sepiatone

I didn't see that movie, so what reason did the police give for not letting her in? Sepiatone

I'd say it depends on which photo of Silent Cal you use. Sometimes.... GEORGE SANDERS and sometimes... EDGAR BERGEN. Sepiatone

I wouldn't count TV "specials" as movies as most were only 1/2 to an hour long at best. Sepiatone

Reminds me of when MIKE DUFFY was the Detroit Free Press TV writer. Back when newspapers still printed their own TV guides, he wrote a description for a late night telecast of the movie ATTACK OF THE MUSHROOM PEOPLE that simply said; "A story with a morel." Sepiatone

Y'know, you kinda disappointed me DARG. Given the title of this thread, you missed a perfect opportunity to quip: "Since I started watching TCM regularly, I'd have to say the movie I've seen more than any other is (wait for it!) NORTH BY NORTHWEST! Sepiatone

By that criteria I'd be hard pressed to list MOST of the movies I've seen numerous times as I too have watched a lot of classic movies since I was a kid. But at THAT time, although they were maybe a mere 15-20 years old, they weren't really considered "classics" then. Sepiatone

Apparently a side view of a nude woman. At least I didn't notice any swimsuit or other clothing. Didn't matter really. I was more impressed that the going through the trouble to put in such ambient detail was taken. Sepiatone

Wishing to keep my lunch and cookies, I only sat through half of this turkey. Sepiatone

Say, didja happen to notice the picture on the calendar on the wall? And that the calendar was turned to JULY? Sepiatone

If that tree came from Hell, it must be fireproof wood! Sepiatone

Now y'all's just listing every movie you've ever watched. And since I once had a VHS library of cassettes that contained two movies each( that I managed to copy before macrovision) totaling 600 titles, it's a sure bet I sat through all of them while copying, and it's also a sure bet there's NO WAY I can remember them all. Since I had the cassettes numbered I did once put together a catalog of them all by number/titles, which due to the hurried move back in '11 which caused me to leave a lot of them behind, I'm without a source to refer to. Sepiatone

You're always OK with me, Darg! Sepiatone

Sounds like a LOT more fun than a WINE CLUB does. To me at least. My first suggestion would be Ken Kesey's SOMETIMES A GREAT NOTION maybe so people who haven't read it will see how horrible the movie adaptation was. Sepiatone
