I would have to say my "guilty pleasure" is watching horror movies. From the original Frankenstein to Silence of the Lambs....if it's spooky, macabre, etc. I'll be watchin' with my hands up to my face peakin' through my fingers!!

Had a strong feeling that was it. Kept runnin' back to the puter to see if I got it while I was tryin' to make dinner.....lol. Anyway, here goes....

Imitation of Life?

I was thinking it was The Emperor Waltz starring Bing and Joan Fontaine (don't think there's an "s" on the end) too slnt291....but that was in color, not b&w. I do believe the title song is in it though...

Not sute about this....Marie Antoinette? Sure were decapitations, wigs & lots of jewelry!

Mornin' stlgal! I know this isn't probably right, but I'll give it a go anyway...

Man! This is a tough one!! Been tryin' to figure it out since last night...argh. You are doin' great with this one venerados!

Can't thank you guys enough for the recommendations. I'm happy to announce that I found a few of the books on ebay. Each for a GREAT price! My mom, grandma & aunt are also classic movie lovers...so not only are ya helping me find a good book for myself, you are helping me out with my Christmas shopping!

Well Path, I'm an idiot...it's official. I meant Madame Bovary....not The Heiress.
-
WELL, sounds like someone forgot to take their meds today

Well, I gotta say I got a good chuckle out of reading these posts. Rogan, it's like you are just askin' for an argument in here. Ya can't TELL people what to do like that...we all have different likes and dislikes and that should be respected. I WOULD be watching TCM tonight if it wasn't for the fact that I'm going out for the evening. And as far as the Technicolor thing goes....I think we all read ya loud and clear. No need to beat a dead horse.

Murder on the Orient Express?

You got it venerados....Mark of Zorro it is.

Okay...I'll go ahead then.

OMG!! I just realized that not only did I type the wrong person's name in that post I misspelled Hedy Lamarr's name!! Obviously got up on the "stupid" side of the bed today!!
-
Drat! Screwed up my last post. Got your names messed up.....lol. Should have typed moviejoe when mentioning the ebay-used bookstore thing. OOPS!!

Thanks so much for replying to my post. I've just written down the titles and plan on looking into them right away. Oh, and I agree with you coffeedan that ebay, used bookstores etc. are great places to look for this type of book; but since so many of you seem so knowledgeable on the classics and the classic stars I really wanted an opinion from you guys before I went out on my trek. I'll also keep what ya said about Hedy Lammar in mind antarctic

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a book that gives information (minutia if you will) on classic movie stars. I realize no one book could cover ALL of the wonderful actors of the past; but is there one (or more) that covers many?
Thanks!

Gary Cooper!! Man doesn't even have to open up his mouth for me to drool. Heard a few rumors about him too....hehehe.
Louis Jourdan ~ Man he was great in The Heiress! Couldn't keep my eyes off him
-
Well, since I gave a list of the stars I consider most likeable, I figured I'd swing over here and list the ones that I'm not so fond of.
#1: Marilyn Monroe ~ She just has to open her mouth and she irritates me.
#2: Grace Kelly ~ So cold and distant.
#3: Victor Mature ~ Hell, he even admitted he couldn't act (he wasn't hard on the eyes though
...hehehe). #4: Gregory Peck ~ Another cold fish
#5: The Marx Bros. ~ I must have missed somethin' with these guys. Just don't see the attraction.
Anyway....hope I didn't offend anyone with my choices. It's all just a matter of opinion, right?

First movie that stuck to your ribs
in Hot Topics
Posted
I think the first movie that really "stuck to my ribs" was Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast. I was about ten years old when I first saw the movie, and I'll never forget watching it in the basement of my parent's house (my dad was upstairs watching a football game in the living room). My mom set up this little old tv for me to watch this fabulous movie with her for the first time. I was absolutely spellbound. I'll never forget the magnificent white horse with magical powers, candelabra with human arms, tears that turned into diamonds and soooo much more. I remember feeling so sorry for the Beast I found myself crying at times. Oh, and the cinematography still amazes me today. About a year ago I found the movie on Amazon and immediately bought a copy. I watched it this time with my three young sons. They loved it, subtitles and all (well, they are boys...so I had to endure the occasional wisecrack...lol). I was spellbound once again.
