I haven't seen The Secret of Dr. Kildare (I've seen the first couple of the series, but that's it), Captain Lightfoot, or In Search of Gregory.

Well. That must be something to see.

Looks like a great time to not have TCM.

I read his memoir a couple of years ago. I enjoyed the part about the time he got into a verbal altercation with Lauren Bacall on the set of Ready to Wear.

The latest best picture nominee I haven't seen is A Star is Born (2018). Before that it's The White Parade in 1934.

Yeah, I agree putting this in the Comedy sub-forum seems odd, but it does illustrate why we need a Drama sub-forum, which I've requested in the past to no avail. What existing sub-forum would you put the movie in? Horror? Romance?!?

What's their reasoning behind their top three choices all being movies from 2018? First Reformed even premiered in 2017.

The National Film Registry isn't necessarily about preserving the "best" films, since whether a movie is "great" or not is largely subjective. The Registry is more focused on landmark films. As was pointed out above, many of the films directed by women were the first such films made. Other films listed are also groundbreaking for whatever reason (She's Gotta Have It and Clerks are both considered major, influential independent films, Becky Sharp is the first full Technicolor feature, Zoot Suit is an important Latino film, etc.). Others on the list are just generally well regarded (Amadeus, Fog of War, Old Yeller, etc.) I'm happy to see stuff like The Phenix City Story and The Last Waltz on the list.

My kind of movie fan.

I like that movie, as well. According to MovieCollectorOH's database (http://www.moviecollectoroh.com/reports/TCM_SCHEDULES_SUMMARY_alpha.htm), The Bride Came C.O.D. has aired on TCM at least 41 times, so it's been seen by many of the channel's viewers. It's also now easily available on Warner Archive DVD:

Unless you can provide a source, I'm going to assume you misunderstood what Maher said on his show, because his supporting the removal of a Gleason statue based on Ralph Kramden being "abusive" on The Honeymooners to too absurd to believe. I tried Googling it, and found nothing.

Nothing about Skidoo is either urgent or hilarious. And I'm going to need to see a link to where Bill Maher is calling for Jackie Gleason's statue to be taken down, as that's the type of nonsense that he typically speaks out against.

I watched a few more from the list since posting it. The Hole in the Ground - 7/10 Ready or Not - 6/10 Fractured - 5/10 Rattlesnake - 5/10

#214 is Tiger Bay (1959). Not sure about the other two.

Late Night was one of the year's biggest disappointments for me. A lot of good talent involved for such a mediocre movie. Thompson was good, as usual.

The allegations were supposedly told to Downey by the deceased's daughter, an actress who co-starred in a film with Downey. I'm still a Kirk Douglas fan, but I've come to expect this subject to be brought up every time he's mentioned here.

An unusual line-up. I haven't seen The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, but I've seen the other three. City of God is probably the most easily-accessible. It's good, but I wasn't as blown away by it as many were at the time. 3-Iron is odd, and a bit slow. I liked it quite a bit, but it may be tough going for some. Happy Together is a good example of director Wong Kar-Wai's style, and features a good performance by my favorite Chinese actor, Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, but I like some of the director's other films more (In the Mood for Love, Ashes of Time). Happy Together made a big stir at the time of its release due to the matter-of-fact handling of a gay relationship. Now it won't seem as "shocking", but in '97 it was still enough to cause a bit of controversy.

Which four, if I may ask?
