Best Garbage Oscar? Certainly I hope that the Academy members voting on nominees for Production Design take details like garbage realism into account!🙂

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.

"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.

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.

crazy Richard Gere might kill her at the end. But it's another wacko.
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.

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.

I too liked Dreyfuss in JAWS. I thought DUDDY KRAVITZ was a little, underappreciated film...especially for Randy Quaid. I liked AMERICAN GRAFITTI. He was excellent in CLOSE ENCOUNTERS.....another of my favorites. I was not a big fan of THE GOODBYE GIRL or MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS. I found them both generally dull.
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"!

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!

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.

That's what I get for agreeing with you!
And THE HOMECOMING is two hours starring PATRICIA NEAL which I consider a "movie" even if it was made for TV.
True enough. Should have just singled THAT one out.

Hmmm, sorry Sepia but I ain't seein' either of 'em in ol' Silent Cal.
However, the more I look at his mug here...
...I think I'm kind'a seein' a middle-aged Arthur Kennedy here...
(...well, at least more so than Sanders or Bergen here, anyway)
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.

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

Pretty good one here, Rich.
(...now tell me...who do ya think Calvin Coolidge looks like???)
I'd say it depends on which photo of Silent Cal you use. Sometimes....
GEORGE SANDERS and sometimes...
EDGAR BERGEN.

Indeed, looking at certain "classic" TV specials, like RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER or MERRY CHRISTMAS CHARLIE BROWN or THE HOMECOMING might count into the 40s or 50s... !
I wouldn't count TV "specials" as movies as most were only 1/2 to an hour long at best.

My cable company's online description of From Hell It Came:
"Wooden acting marks this lumbering tale about a monster tree stump whose bite is worse than its bark."
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."

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!)

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.

No I didn't notice, what was the picture?
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.

Many great ones this morning:
Bugs Bunny And The Three Bears (1944) A very funny Bugs short. The bears provide much of the laughs. Papa is short tempered, Mama is weary and Baby is an oversized dimwit. They try to follow the fairy tale, but Papa yells "NOW DON'T FORGET YOUR LINES!" Bugs is attracted by the carrot soup they make, he makes sweet talk to Mama to get away but she likes what she hears.
Say, didja happen to notice the picture on the calendar on the wall?
And that the calendar was turned to JULY?

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.

I don't know if it's been done before, but wouldn't it be cool if TCM coordinated a book club? One book per month, and it culminates in a discussion with a guest (academic, celebrity fan, etc.) followed by a screening of the movie. You could even sign up for a subscription and TCM would ship you the book a month in advance. Who says no?
What books do you think would be great to read and then watch? Some books are really true to the source material (The Maltese Falcon, for example) while many aren't. Just a thought. I think it'd be a lot of fun.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.

Your mention of MATTHEW BRODERICK is fine So too, is his father, actor JAMES BRODERICK.
