@LawrenceA: In regards to HALLOWEEN III: The Season Of The Witch it has to do with the time zones across America mainly and what national networks would be airing the sinister commercial. I can't explain it well online; I reckon you could say I was not able to effectively suspend my disbelief that kids all across the country would be watching the commercial at the same time on all 3 networks -- or whatever network or two the commercial was supposed to be aired on.

I've only seen FRIDAY THE 13th, Part 2 one time. I didn't like Alice Hardy getting killed after all she went through in the first movie. So I never watched it again and never endeavoured to find an old tape to buy. I don't have any of the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET movies in my video stash. Just never got around to it. I've got plenty of other horror movies to watch so the 'Elm Street' movies were never a priority to obtain. HALLOWEEN III has one plot hole in it that drives me nuts. Otherwise, I'd like it more. It's certainly sinister enough. And so it goes . . .

FAYE DUNAWAY was costumed in all manner of glamourous dresses in "The Thomas Crown Affair" (the '68 version). Next: Actress who left the profession -- at least for a while -- in order to raise her young 'uns.

@LawrenceA: Speaking of FRIDAY THE 13th (1980), which you listed as having watched lately. I reckon about 6 or 7 years ago I had an opportunity to buy a 1981 Japanese 'RENTAL' release of Friday the 13th on WARNER HOME VIDEO Japan. The reason I wanted to buy this release was I knew it was un-cut, unlike the U.S. Paramount VHS which was missing part of the Kevin Bacon kill. I reckon the MPAA had decided that short 'cut' needed to go or they'd slap FRIDAY THE 13th with an [X]-rating. No such problem in Japan as Kevin's all wide-eyed on the Japanese release as he gets knifed from under the cot! BLOOD! Being the somewhat-OCD video collector that I am I had notions of finding the earliest VHS releases I could of various horror/suspense movies. Kind of a challenge, you know? I found early releases of these that I was looking for: HALLOWEEN -MEDIA Home Entertainment. Still has the "COMPASS INTERNATIONAL" logo before the movie starts. TOURIST TRAP -MEDIA Home Entertainment. THE HILLS HAVE EYES - One copy on 'Harmony Vision' in the mustard-color plastic box + 2 more copies on the Canadian ASTRAL VIDEO label. THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE - ASTRAL VIDEO [Astral released a French version of the movie, but I only rounded up the 'regular' English version]. FRIDAY THE 13th, Part III. I tried to find the 1st release tape from Paramount because the top label used 'III' instead of the number '3'. OCD working overtime with this one! One of my all-time favorite video labels: ASTRAL VIDEO from Canada. → I collected titles on this label I never would've picked up on other labels. Like THE NIGHT THEY ROBBED BIG BERTHA'S. It's bad. Very bad. But I have 2 of them. Same with THE MYSTERY OF THE MILLION DOLLAR HOCKEY PUCK (1975-Canadian). I've got two of those, too. The reason? Because I ran across 2 of them! So I snagged them both as they weren't expensive.

@jamesandthyjazzyguitar: IT HAPPENED ON FIFTH AVENUE (1947) was an Allied Artists film so TCM hasn't completely ignored Allied Artists. I think 'Allied Artists' was known as 'Monogram Pictures' prior to 1946 or '44 (can't remember which). Either way, 'FIFTH AVENUE' must have been an early production under the 'Allied Artists' banner.

How 'bout a day with RICARDO MONTALBAN? He was busy enough to warrant a SUTS Day (if he hasn't had one already in the recent past).

There is also a 1977 movie titled CRASH! starring Sue Lyon, Jose Ferrer, John Ericson, Leslie Parrish to go with the other two "CRASH"es mentioned ^above^.

BEES, The (1978-Mexican)

I've seen a few Tom & Jerry cartoons on the BOOMERANG Network that were originally shown to theaters in CinemaScope but it seems only the pan-and-scan versions -- or whatever you'd like to call them -- were distributed to television and cable programmers. Like BARBEQUE BRAWL, for example, is a CinemaScope 'Tom & Jerry' cartoon. To date, I've yet to see a T&J cartoon in its original CinemaScope ratio.

Hey, now, if John Wayne kin (sic) play 'Genghis Khan' then by gum he shore (sic) can play a Roman centurion at The Crucifixion. → Ahm jes' waitin' fer the movie JESUS VERSUS BILLY THE KID. Ah means ta say -- if'n yew kin have "Dracula" vs. Billy then wah not The Lord? SAY IT TO YER BROTHER! Now bring on the chewin' tobaccy!

I thought she was named 'NEFERTITI' instead of 'NEFRETIRI'. Have I missed something? I'm going to watch "THE TEN HOT SPELLS" tonite!
