I hate to say what I first thought this thread was about when I saw: "Annual SUTS Wish List" I think I hallucinated an "L" after the "S" which changed the whole meaning. Sorry for interrupting the frivolities.

Are they showing "Monty Python and the Holy Trail"? By the way, happy trails to you!

Just reading about beer makes me want to go out and buy some Guinness for lunch, Princess!

This German documentary was wonderful. I am so glad and thankful that TCM showed it, along with the other films. By the way, that print of Caligari was amazing and the best one I've ever seen. I own two versions of it already but would love to buy that version, since it was so bright, crisp and visually beautiful!

Yeah, I remember the Ava quote about how much Frankie weighed, and well...okay, I won't go any further. Those who know, know and those who don't will have to look it up.

I LOVE Peter Falk as Columbo. Wasn't his beat up car a Peugot? By the way, I was wrong about the Bessie Smith song. It was about "her" pocketbook and went like this: "You can look at my bank book But I'll never let you feel my purse"

Yes, being that I like to emulate all things men do, I have decided at this late date to become sexist and ageist. Speaking of wallets and men, I think Bessie Smith had a song about that. Let me see if I can find the lyrics.

Aw, go ahead, DGF. This thread will probably get canned for not being on-topic anyway.

I'm not Canadian but I do like to drink Canadian Mist so I concur, GPF. It's the least TCM can do for our friends there.

I just wish that more theaters would have retrospectives of all those old 3-D films, since it is such a joy to see them in a real movie house. I saw "House of Wax" in a theater in 3-D and it was the best 3-D I've ever seen. Also saw the Andy Warhol horror film, that was in 3-D and the perspective was so bizarre it looked like body parts were being thrown into the audience. But it was still fun to see. Great take on 1954, TB!

A movie I often recommend to friends, which is not talked about much anymore is "House of Games" from 1987. The first movie directed by the great David Mamet and also written by him, it stars Lindsay Crouse and Joe Mantegna. It has twists and turns galore and is a real psychological gem. Here's the IMDB listing: A psychiatrist comes to the aid of a compulsive gambler and is led by a smooth-talking grifter into the shadowy but compelling world of stings, scams, and con men. Please share a film that you think is great, but forgotten that others might enjoy.

Divine could be rather incendiary on screen, TGD. If you get another chance, I'd ask for a chance to see "Polyester" but only with Odorama cards in tow.

I see nothing degrading about asking a maid to peel one a grape. Why I ask my butler to do that daily.

John Cusack might be fine in other roles, but he was no Brian Wilson. The dissimilarity in their appearances, plus to that of Dano just was not believable to anyone who has followed Brian's career in any respect. It was like having John Malkovich playing Errol Flynn.

I always enjoy seeing John Wayne's entrance in Ford's "Stagecoach" since he does not really enter, but the stagecoach comes up upon him in a flash. Very exciting visual! I forgot to add for the best exit, Alida Valli walking past Joseph Cotten in "The Third Man".

My Trader Joe's has no security, and live music! It's right near the beer and ale section, past the wine shelving. Last week the guy was playing "All Along the Watchtower" a la, Jimi Hendrix. I tipped him a buck since he did not stink like most people playing with a hat in front of them for tips.

Very clever, Mr.G. I've seen the British version called "The Quid, The Squid and The Whale".

Great choices, GPF. I think it is spelled "Dmytryk" but we may both be wrong. I'm sure someone will correct us!

Love your takes and also your Janet Blair picture! Rhoda Penmark is definitely ahead of her time as a child serial killer.

Agreed, Christine! Cary Grant in his eighties was like a classic Lamborghini. Jack Nicholson, would be a classic Chevy Corvair. Jack Gilford would be a classic Ford Edsel.

Haha! Where is this thread, since I like misunderstood titles and lyrics. One of my favorites, is the song by Herman's Hermits called "She's a Must to Avoid" which has been called "She's a Muscular Boy" by some hearing challenged folks.

As all good men should be! Do you live in Taiwan?

Depends on the model and wear on the chassis. Ladies only topic!

GPF. I remember seeing a tv version of that tale. It might have been on PBS, not sure. I do remember it starred a really cute guy, who used to be on that show with Kirstie Alley I think. Let me find his name on IMDB. Update: It starred Dan Cortese who was in "Veronica's Closet" and it was a tv movie from 1996: The Lottery On his deathbed in the hospital, Jason's father asks that his ashes be spread over the top of his wife's grave. Jason, who came to the city with his father at a young age, remembers little ...See full summary » Director: Daniel Sackheim Writers: Shirley Jackson (short story), Anthony Spinner(television story) | 1 more credit » Stars: Dan Cortese, Keri Russell, Veronica Cartwright |See full cast & crew »

If George flips a coin for a date, I hope he gets Alison!
