I always though Ms. Schafer was a good looker when young and held up well into the Gilligan years. Probably dry pressed. And likely by some device the professor made from coconut shells and bamboo. Sepiatone

Uuuhhh.... CHILL WILLS? Sepiatone

Unlike ElCid up there, I'd say Christmas movies do indeed count as the question was "Is there any film...." And as we all don't like the same Christmas movies, there would be some who've viewed a certain one more than other people have. And with all that in mind I'd have to say I've probably seen A CHRISTMAS CAROL ('51) more than any other, and indeed probably more than BOGEY. Having first seen it as an "after the parade" broadcast on Thanksgiving day '67 by a local TV station, and each year after for five more years, and then eventually, when home video and VHS tape purchases were upon us, I watched it twice a year since 1982(you do the math). I'd say 2nd on that list is THE WIZARD OF OZ. And too, due to the advent of home video. And..... A MOVIE DIARY?? Y'know, at 12 my mind and interests, what with an increasing hormone level, were obviously elsewhere! Sepiatone

BOO BOO BEAR ! And comics characters too. Like; BEETLE BAILEY SNUFFY SMITH KRAZY KAT Sepiatone

Well, that's one MAJOR misspelling! I just do these satiric jabs in good nature and to help(I hope) keep this place from becoming another kind of FaceBook page, where I believe is the breeding ground for most of the online spelling and grammatical bloopers. Sepiatone

The term I was referring to was "hate crime". Which didn't come into common use until the '80's. Until then a crime was just a crime. regardless of your feelings about the victim's creed or color. It'd be inconsiderate(as I was taught) to interrupt anything or anybody. Hell. I don't really think you need to INTERPRET it! Sepiatone

But I'm not sure we're done here--- WARREN WILLIAM MARJORIE MAIN LOUISE LATHAM LOUISE LASSER Sepiatone

DON DeFORE! Sepiatone

Your willingness to admit it is the first step. Sepiatone

Is it a mystery before or after you taste it? Sepiatone

Ach! All I can conjure up is--- HELEN HAYES BRUCE BENNETT BARBARA BAIN Sepiatone

WOW! That NEWMAN chick looks just like JULIE NEWMAR!! Sepiatone

So, who claimed it wasn't? I mean, why do ya think my great grandfather came here from Poland in 1893? Sepiatone

Besides, it wasn't until the '80's that people started using the phrase "hate crime", so it would be odd for a detective 40 years earlier to think of the case in that term. Sepiatone

The only person from that movie( and wouldn't it be cool if TCM showed it once in a while?) whose name I ever knew and remembered was STUBBY KAYE. But at 96 she did have a good run. I hope she is resting in peace. Sepiatone

Still have it on tape. But what I liked(and my wife too) about the original was that we each knew people who were like some of the kid's characters in the movie. And other kid's parents who were close to the movie's too. And remembering too... TV teen dance shows like the movie's parody "Corny Collins" show.... Big "ratted" hair-dos, that weren't really too exaggerated in the movie The downplay of "colored" dance and music on the late '50's-early '60's top 40 pop music and dance. The newer remake? Well, I though Travolta in drag was a hoot. And the young actress that played Tracy(Nikki Blonsky) was way talented. Too bad she dropped out of sight. And a quick scene of early '60's pregnant women sitting in a bar sipping martinis and smoking cigarettes. My, how times have changed. Sepiatone

Or Northwest! Sepiatone

Even as kids we all liked Johnny. Thought he had the best job in the world! This is the first I've heard about his passing. Jakeem must be slipping, or is too wrapped up in choreographer's deaths to keep on the ball. Ach! Another treasured part of my childhood is gone. That's happening too much too often lately. Just makes that line I'm in shorter. Rest In Peace, Mark. Sepiatone

So, there's a tip for ya, Muddy; If you wanna get a handgun on board of any flight you happen to be taking, be sure that flight is in a movie in the '70's! Sepiatone

No argument really. I too have had issues with the Wayne County, MI Friend Of the Court( an oxymoron if I ever heard one! ) so what happened to my buddy didn't surprise me. And I'm not really dissmissing what happened to your friend. I get the angst. Maybe if police were busier going after or responding to more real crimes rather than pulling people over for minor traffic infractions or hassling kids gathered outside of buildings and not really doing anything more people who should be in jail would be there. Like someone I know once said--- "They can't patrol the streets from the doughnut shop or the speed trap." Sepiatone

First, my buddy DID pay his child support. Couldn't get out of it since his payments were payroll deducted. But someone at FOC didn't enter the payments properly into the court's computer files, and even him going in with his employer's payroll records didn't sway anybody there. And the bite was when his lawyer finally obtained his release, FOC offered NO apology or restitution. Second, there's a HUGE difference between "CANNOT" pay child support, and "WILL NOT" pay. And what does your friend's rape have to do with any of this? But then you mentioned the rapist did go to prison for something else. A crime committed in Kentucky, a state I have no possible use for. Sepiatone

I'll gladly join ya in that! Sepiatone

Yep. And I have friends who were falsely imprisoned. And a few others who went to prison for non-violent crimes(car theft, breaking into closed stores, etc.) Then there was the buddy who spent two years in jail for non-payment of child support that turned out to be a "glitch" in the FOC's computer files.. Sepiatone

Loved that woman, too. I thought her performance in the movie DAD('89) was as on par with most of her earlier(and later) outstanding efforts. Rest In Peace, dear lady. Sepiatone

Although I HATE the phrase, I'm forced into using it---- MY BAD! Thought the OP's listing of SHERLOCK JR. was of some other movie! Shameful thing for a Keaton freak to admit. Sepiatone
