HEADIN' FOR BROADWAY (1980) and FAME (1980)

Magdalena, vom Teufel besessen (1974-W. German) [aka: "Magdalena, Possessed by the Devil" and "The Devil's Female"]. This is a West German EXORCIST rip-off that's a lot of deranged fun. 😈

THE VILLAIN (1979) was Paul Lynde's last film. And Kirk Douglas does his best 'Wile E. Coyote' impersonation mit Ahnold Schvarzegger as 'Handsome Stranger' and Ann-Margret busting out all over are the 'Road Runner[s]'. I saw THE VILLAIN when I was 6 yrs old in '79. I remember the theater I saw it at: The Cinema 70. A 2-screen theater in the Palm Coast Plaza. I watched quite a few movies there when I was a young 'un.

😈 My mistake! Unintentional 'double-post'. Oops.

@Eric_J: You spoke of SPIELBERG movies. Have you seen his Tvm SOMETHING EVIL (1972)? Stars Darren McGavin, Sandy Dennis, Johnnie Whitaker, Ralph Bellamy. This TVM would make a great companion piece with CROWHAVEN FARM (1970). It's lot of fun. Only runs 73 minutes asit was made for long-since-outdated 90-minute time slot. Has some creepy moments. TOTAL TELEVISION TERROR! 😈

Are you jesting, Meester Vautrin? You must be. Ya know: Turning a noun into a verb is way cool! FRESH! 😵 That LET'S MOVIE slogan reminds of those Dunkin' Donuts adverts I used to see on TV; these ads asked the question "How do you breakfast?". I felt more stupider (sic) having watched such rubbish without hitting the 'Mute' button. Like, wow, ya know I iz a truely (sic) modern man so like when I gets up in da morning the first thing I do is 'breakfast' and then I 'movie' and then I 'car' to my work at The Big Dum Dummyhead Factory stuffing Taliban-owned fortune cookies -- yes, friends, each cookie contains the same fortune: 'OFF WITH THEIR HEADS'. 🤪 SAGE WISDOM: If you have a boat and you have a brother you put them together and you have a 'brudder'! ☺️

TCM could've showed FATAL INSTINCT (1993) . That was an MGM movie. Tony had a part as a judge. Had to be one of his last theatrical film appearances. Here's another Tony Randall movie: HELLO DOWN THERE (1969) w/Janet Leigh, Roddy McDowall, Jim Backus, Ken Berry, Richard Dreyfuss. This is a Paramount movie so it's no surprise it didn't air today.

Are you saying TROG (1970-UK) isn't a 'hidden gem'?!?! PERISH THE THOUGHT! 🤪

BREAKDOWN (1997) Kurt Russell, J.T. Walsh, Kathleen Quinlan

I have some 5,000 VHS tapes in my collection; not one copy of IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. I saw it several times many years ago before the copyright was 'restored' (or whatever the term is called) and never felt the need to buy it on tape even when all those PD copies were floating around and were dirt cheap. (But I've got 5 copies of THE CAREY TREATMENT, tho! 😛 I don't need a wonderful life as long as I have my copies of CAREY!).

Nice to read the observations of others and get their take on particular films. 👍 Cheers.

Lemme think for a moment . . . must get the brain cells working! HERBIE RIDES AGAIN (1974) I'll offer some hints: This actor had only a small part in the ^above^ movie, but had been in movies for over 30 years → he even co-starred with Cary Grant in a 1943 movie. Anyway, this actor died before "Herbie Rides Again" was released: He won a 'Daily Double' at the Hollywood Park Racetrack on May 2, 1973 and suffered a heart attack and died right after. Apparently he got so excited from winning it killed him.

At the beginning of 2020 both Kirk Douglas and Alex Cord were still alive. And now they are not. ALEX CORD starred in STILETTO (1969). I've seen it thrice.

BEVERLY HILLS COP (1984) I saw this is theaters when I was age 11 back in '84; accompanied by my Mom. Steven Berkoff made a great villain as 'Victor Maitland'. THE HEAT IS ON! Next: Battling evil Commies in the USA!

Indeed it was TREY WILSON, Mr. Magoo. Trey was still moving up career-wise; his part in MILLER'S CROSSING had been written specifically for him . . . but before he could depart for New Orleans he died from a cerebral hemorrhage due to an arterial vascular abnormality. He didn't have a chance. He was 40.

@TopBilled: I watched Scarlet Street twice and the first viewing left me cold about the ending. But I thought to give it another go; maybe my initial impression of being dissatisfied with the ending was wrong. But I was still displeased. Eddie G. gets rid of his harridan wife when her beloved-but-crooked first husband re-appears but then he finds out he's been played as a sucker by Joan and Dan. So he kills Joan in a fit of rage and Dan gets blamed and sent to The Chair. Shortly after we see a cheerful Eddie on a train in an obvious guilt "set-up" scene . . . when this scene is over all of a sudden he goes downhill so rapidly he decides to try and hang himself after hearing Joan's voice from The Great Hereafter. What?! I can understand Eddie G.'s character feeling some guilt -- most of us are still human enough to have some feelings of guilt when we do things we shouldn't, except Joan and Dan were so rotten to him that I was greatly annoyed when Eddie's character continues to be such a weakling and tries suicide. He should have toughened up by now! Plus, the good news is that he's still rid of his shrewish wife and has an opportunity to start over and make something new of himself. But, no, he tries to hang himself. He survives, however, but instead of doing something simple -- let's say just getting a job in a grocery store and getting a small apartment or 'vacancy' -- he decides becoming a shiftless bum is the right way to go because, hey, Joan's voice still rings in his head after all this time and he's too weak to make up his mind to stop it and remind himself that, yes, she didn't love him for a minute. To her, he was nothing but a useful human 'tool'; a means to an end of making money for herself and her scumbag boyfriend. I dunno, maybe the Production Code demanded that Eddie's character pay and pay and pay for getting with murder even though the person wrongly blamed was a woman-slapping criminal rotter. I wanted to slap some sense into Eddie G. and say "Look, you've got a chance to start over and do something useful -and- make up your mind that you're not going to let these voices from Joan bother you anymore cos she hated you!". That's the best explanation I can offer, TB, in regards to Scarlet Street and why I've no interest in watching it again.
