<He's got the attractive/repulsive syndrome>
I feel that way about Willem Dafoe, as in "Wild at Heart" (1995).

Double yikes!!
You mean the one who's "kinda funny lookin?"
-
Very sad . . . at least Osgood Fielding's "New Caledonia I" went down during a wild party!
-
Perhaps a more entertaining thread to start a list of actors who have portrayed "the other one." You know, the guy known by so MANY names.
-
Cecil B. DeMille, of course!
-
It's obvious, sepiatone. You have a wife with good taste!

Thanks for that eye candy, darkblue. I'd not heard of this film.

You're right. A VERY buff RR at :47.

Hope they don't cut the part with the "large W." What an ambiguous ending that would be!
-
A nice definition of "leaning."
I'd like Bill Pullman to lean on ME!

Haven't seen it, but is there a scene where he ignores her command to stop using wire hangers?

Here in South Jersey, the eye passed around 7 p.m. The rain died down. Then around midnight, the winds picked up. Power went out around 1 a.m. Power came on around 9 a.m. In all, I feel quite lucky. The Derecho storm in early July was MUCH worse.

Interesting thread, skim.
I confess that I can watch NO version without thinking (and laughing) about the Pythons' version. So cheesy. So funny. So brilliant.
Consider adding to your list: "First Knight" (1995) and "Camelot" (1967).

<I get the impression (and I could be wrong) that he hasn't seen half the movies he's introducing.>
I wonder about that, too. On the whole, I do not find him objectionable.
-
You won't get any argument from me there, Valentine.
I watched it once when it came on free TV -- despite the fact that I detest DiCaprio. (He should have stopped while he was ahead with "Gilbert Grape.")
I wanted to see what the big hoo-ha was all about.
Hence, no interest in seeing "Avatar" even if/when it comes to free TV.
I'm convinced that Cameron laughs his way to the bank at least once a week.

RT was lovely, indeed. However, I lean more toward Olivier in "Wuthering Heights," Newman in "The Long Hot Summer," Grant in "Suspicion," Gable in "GWTW," Melvyn Douglas in "Blandings," Jourdan in "Madame Bovary," Lancaster in "From Here to Eternity," Brando in "Streetcar," Rains and Bogart in "Casablanca," Terence Stamp in "Far from the Madding Crowd," Peck in "Mockingbird," and Mitchum in everything!
I'm sure there are MANY more, but these are the ones that come to mind right now.
Nice topic for those of us stressing about Sandy. Thanks, smitty!

A few years' back, I attended an anniversary of "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" where it was filmed at Wakulla Springs, FL, and had the pleasure of meeting these actors. They were most gracious and proud of their work.

Any time the sexy Robert Redford was on a movie poster . . . that "could" constitute sex and a "hope" for nudity

<The size of the ship's rear end rising out of the ocean compared to the minute size of the people in the water was chilling.>
Yes. Rear ends can have that effect.
-
Yeah . . . I think I have, too (without actually acknowledging it).
-
In "Happy Accidents" (2000), Vincent D'Onofrio's back-travelling character talks about living in Iowa -- on the Atlantic coast.
-
<Also: see how cruel Rose was.. Jack could have fit; it would have just taken balance, like boarding a canoe.>
I always wondered about that, too. Cameron has been laughing his way all the way to the bank.
-
He didn't say much at all. He let Drew have the spotlight. On some points she was remarkably articulate (despite her annoying voice and bathrobe).
-
Seems to me the "Cloud Atlas" is one of those over-hyped Cumbaya-type films like "Crash." No, thank you.
-
On the Jersey coast here (southernmost Delaware Bay side). Sheesh . . . THIS IS EXACTLY why I moved back after living through Katrina and numerous tropical storms while in Tallahassee for eight years!
Almost guaranteed will be without power. When the Derecho storm rolled through in early July, we were without power for four days. No fun at all.
Thanks for the good wishes.

Of course it is. My attempt at humor button wasn't working for you, I guess.
