Not two of my favorite films. Andy G. wears on me fast. I won't be watching them.

Henry Fonda in "Once Upon a Time in the West". One bad dude.

SUMMER OF "42 (1971) was a teenage boy coming-of-age movie that I liked. I fell in love with Jennifer O'Neill.

Katherine the Great...................Hepburn??

Really enjoyed the "What's my Line?" video. Thanks for posting this. I certainly like Mr. Marshall as much as you do.

I bought the German series/movie GENERATION WAR on DVD and watched it yesterday. A very powerful evocative drama following five young wartime Germans (men and women) from 1941 on the eve of the massive German invasion of the Soviet Union through the war's end in late 1945 when the traumatized group meets up again in the shattered aftermath of Germany. One must remember when viewing this that it takes historical license with many issues from that period but raises stark questions to be thought about. A very powerful well-made well-acted novelized slice of war/death/nationalism/brutality/guilt/racism/naivete/complicity. Very worth watching if you get the chance. The film is in subtitled German. Reminds me in parts of this movie of Brando's THE YOUNG LIONS characterization. I will watch GENERATION WAR again to reflect on it more. As I am a person of German American extraction whose father fought in WW2 as a young American Army Air Force officer one realizes that he could have been born in Germany instead and fought with the German/Nazi forces. Such are the accidents of birthplace.

Very definitely true. A lot of people did/do not like it when their favorites deviated from their consistent personalities. Perhaps my favorite Henry Fonda movie is "Once Upon a Time in the West" simply because he went out of a lifelong screen "character" and played a mesmerizing evil man.

Not much of a story but I love the sights and sounds of the incredible race machines. Hearing the throaty whines and growls and roars of the full-on power engines accelerating and shifting gives me goosebumps. The slow motion crash and destruction of the airborne Ferrari is something to behold. A good movie for a racing fan to watch just for the decades ago action. A time when fans could be much closer to the action and drivers than they can be today.

Glad you love Monty Python. Just did not think you liked funny total insanity. My bad. Apologies. If I mention Monty Python to my wife she looks at me like a fresh doggie pile just appeared on her kitchen table.

.................and I suppose you don't like the absolutely bonkers and hilarious and gut-busting Monty Python movies/skits either. Oh well, that's why I have Bill the Cat as my avatar photo. I'm bonkers and so proud of it. Self made in fact!! Go Bill!!! THBBFT!!!!!

Everybody loves and raves over Audrey Hepburn movies..................................except me. Audrey Scrawny Hepburn and her voice and acting grate on me but then I love MARS ATTACKS so I have no taste whatsoever.

I think MARS ATTACKS is delightfully dumb and dumber and camp and campier and .............................FUN!! You are taking this Python-esque monstrosity way too seriously. It hasn't a serious bone in it's absurdity. That's why it's fun!! It's a Three Stooges horror of dumbness.

Guess I am one of a small number. Audrey Hepburn has never done a thing for me.

This is a very good but as you say a rather quirky movie. Mr. Robards is excellent in his never-grow-up and keep-the-inner-child role.

The greatest series of "sequels" have to be the James Bond series over 5 decades of allure. Most have been interesting and lavish and fun but no matter where the series goes in the future I will always recognize Sean Connery as the quintessential Bond of Bonds I look forward to future installments of this greatest of ongoing sequels. Always fun to see them whether terrific or not-so-terrific. They have been by far the most successful of "sequels" and spawned many imitations and basically started a whole new cult of movies and novels based on intelligence/spy services. No other series of "sequels" has been so macho male-fantasy oriented.

I don't I know much about fashions or hosiery and am intrigued by the hosiery that Harlow is wearing? Exactly what type of seemingly multi-circular hosiery is she wearing? Looks quite odd to me but then I am quite ignorant of fashion.

A very very good movie I am planning on watching again today. Yes, I would call this fine noir an "essential" as well.

I am truly sorry that Canada did not get this fine movie. That is a load of malarky.

There is a timelessness, grittiness, and mystical/mythical historical quality to B & W which color often does not have. B & W is like being outdoors on a moonlit night with no other lights about. No color in the moonlight especially in the snow. In the colorless moonlight Time ceases and just the moment exists and a billion other moments stretching backwards into history. That is what B & W movies are like for me. A moonlit history of days gone by. B & W is not depressing to me. Rather it is infinite and yet timeless. Surreal and dreaming. Novels are in black and white on the pages, black on white. Beautiful.

I definitely remember Bellamy. Good player. I liked the NBA a lot better back in those days than I do these days.

I sure don't remember the Chicago P a c k e r s. Interesting. Good name for a Chicago team since Chicago was such a stockyards/meat packing center.

A day or an evening of Bob Hoskins movies would be a good thing for TCM to schedule. Marvelous actor.

I agree. A TOWN LIKE ALICE is certainly a terrific movie.

BREAKER MORANT (1980) is being aired tonight on TCM. I heartily recommend this moving riveting account of true actions and events and a courtroom trial during the Boer War in South Africa at the dawn of the 20th century. This is one of the finest movies ever made in my opinion. There is no better Australian movie. Engrossing and indicting. Well acted with an ending not to be missed. I have viewed this movie a number of times and never cease to be mesmerized by it. GALLIPOLI which follows BREAKER MORANT tonight is also a fine movie though not in the same league as BM. Both are moving, very moving in portraying the horrors of war and loss of innocence of the regular "everyman" soldier.
