Great new thread, speedracer. Thanks for starting this one.

Yes, I'm sure it's never intentional, but it's disappointing when an edited print is aired. The bleeped version of RUNNING ON EMPTY that aired (with audio drops when expletives were spoken) was especially disappointing because I was really looking forward to that movie

Those actors who can truly pull off physical and vocal changes are truly amazing to watch. Many of the most popular movies stars are primarily personality actors.

I think this may be a record wait.

I agree TCM's eclecticism is the what I love most about the channel.

So anything before 2000 is a daddy dud? That includes AMERCIAN PIE.

I could never bring myself to watch CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR because of clips I saw with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts talking with bad Southern accents. Julia Roberts is actually from the South, but hers was especially bad. I saw a documentary that included interviews with the real woman that Julia Roberts played in the movie. I don't know what possessed Julia Roberts to create that accent for the character in the movie.

I agree. My 10-year-old nephew loves watching Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes.

Yes Helen Mirren was quite known for baring her skin in movies especially in the UK. CALIGULA is one of those movies that I want to see but have not yet.

I really enjoy THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL, which aired today on TCM. Marilyn Monroe's talent, charm and beauty really shine in this movie.

LHF, I'm glad that you acknowledged Edith Head's contribution to the cinematic achievement that is TORTIGO. It's overlooked by so many in discussion of the film.

Shirley Jones apparently was quite the sexual dynamo and is not shy about discussing her exploits in her book.

Yes. it's definitely something that Hitchcock, the writer and some of the actors discussed and intended. Stewart was probably kept out of the loop the same way that Charlton Heston was kept out of the loop about the BEN-HUR backstory.

Jane Fonda's day on last year's Summer Under The Stars was one of my favorites.

I did not know that misswonderly. However I did know that Elton John's follow up to "Tiny Dancer" was "Tony Danza." Hold me closer, Tony Danza . . .

I was surprised that TORTIGO failed to place on the poll.

I suspected as much.

Here's some information I found on ACME: The name Acme became popular for businesses by the 1920s, when alphabetized business telephone directories such as the Yellow Pages began to be widespread. There was a flood of businesses named Acme, including Acme Brick, Acme Markets, and Acme Boots. Early Sears catalogues even contained a number of products with the "Acme" trademark, including anvils, which are frequently used in Warner Bros. cartoons.

We saw that Helen Mirren was in O LUCKY MAN! I became really excited to see it.

I do wish TCM would air THE RED MILL again. I like scenes with Davies and the mouse.

Yes, Maggie Smith was really good in TRAVELS WITH MY AUNT. When she made the movie she was younger than the age of the character (except in the flashback scenes).

Yes, there's nothing wrong with being hopeful.
