Last film I've seen him is was Bill Murray's Scrooged.
Sadly, Michael J. Pollard died today, just a few days after we were discussing him here.

Okay, then I've seen them all.

It's possible she won due to both films, though one can only be nominated for one film in one year.
Rachel, Rachel didn't premiere until August of 68, and the Oscar ceremony where Parsons won for Bonnie & Clyde was held in April.
Parsons was nominated for Rachel, Rachel for the 68/69 Supporting Actress Oscar, but she lost to Ruth Gordon in Rosemary's Baby.
BTW, I liked Parsons in Rachel, Rachel, more so than in B&C.

I can't tell what 34 or 35 are, but I've seen the rest.

Oh, come on. The idea of "Pappy" Ford, Victor McLaglen, Barry Fitzgerald, Ward Bond, and John Wayne, all in their starkers, hanging out and shootin' the breeze about flicks, doesn't sound appealing?

I've read that there will be a section of the HBO Max service "curated by the folks at TCM", as well as the Criterion people, which makes me wonder if the Criterion Channel will disappear and become a facet of HBO Max, too.

45 Years on the other hand, now that's a keeper. I've seen over 300 films from the decade (I know, maybe should have watched more), but that's comfortably in the top 10 of the decade for me. An extraordinary film with career best work from Charlotte Rampling. When the videostore in town was getting rid of their copy and put it up for sale, I bought it because I could not turn that film down (especially for only $1.50).
I couldn't recall if I'd donated my copy or kept it. I just checked my shelf, and I kept it, as it's sitting between the 42nd Street Forever trailer compilations, and 49th Parallel.
I wasn't as blown away by 45 Years as several of you seem to have been, but I thought it was well-acted.

Oh, and I'll mention that Nicholson was 36/37 when Chinatown was filmed, while Gosling is 39 and Cooper is 44, so if this new thing is supposed to be a prequel to Chinatown, they may be looking for much younger actors.

So then Lawrence, I take it you're onboard with my Bradley Cooper or Ryan Goslin suggestions as Jake Gittes?
(…or might you have some other younger actor in mind here?)
I could have seen Gosling in the role, but I doubt either he or Cooper will do a TV show. Although the perception of doing TV being "beneath" a movie star seems to be a thing of the past, I still can't see either doing it.
I can't think of any actors that fit the role, but Nicholson is one of my two or three favorite actors, and Chinatown is among my favorite movies, so I may be overly judgmental of anyone or anything involved.

Slater admitted that he was doing a bad Nicholson impression in Heathers. I thought he was godawful in that, and couldn't stand him for years. My opinion's softened a bit over the years, but I tend not to despise actors as much as I used to in general. I still can't recall anything that I was overly fond of Slater in, and any film would have been improved with someone else being cast in his role.

I wonder how this will compare to the upcoming Perry Mason prequel series from HBO. Matthew Rhys (The Americans) stars as Mason, a WWI veteran and low-rent Los Angeles defense lawyer circa 1932 (at least that was the case in the original synopsis I read). Featuring Chris Chalk as Paul Drake, and Juliet Rylance as Della Street. Also featuring Tatiana Maslany, Shea Whigham and John Lithgow. Due sometime in 2020.
Rhys as Perry Mason, in the only publicity shot released thus far.
Chris Chalk, who will play Paul Drake.
Juliet Rylance, cast as Della Street.

I suppose this is an issue that a moderator will have to help you with. One usually does that via a PM, but...
Hopefully a mod will read through this thread and contact you in some way.

I put the question mark because it's not my list but one I read on AV Club. While I go to a lot of movies, I counted while I scrolled, and I've only seen 33 of these 100 movies, so who am I to say? But I thought some of you might enjoy seeing:

we used to have a way to 'private message' other members.
can't seem to find it now......
is it gone or am I just blind??
I found a way to compose PM's, but it says that you "cannot receive messages", as I tried to send you one as a test.
EDIT: I notice that the "message" prompt appears to me for other users when I hover over their avatar, but not yours. So you may have PM's disabled.
To check if yours is disabled, go to the message button on the top right (the envelope), click on it. At the bottom of the pop-up, click "Go to Inbox". At the bottom center-left of that screen, there's a line that says "Disable My Messenger". Click that to see what's what.

That's strange...the PM "buttons" seem to be missing from both the main profile pages, as well as the pop-up window that appears when you hover over someone's avatar.
I have a couple of on-going PM threads with a few other members, and they're still accessible. I'll try PM'ing using them to see if they still function.

"Psycho 2" (1983) Anthony Perkins returns as Norman Bates in this effective sequel. Richard Franklin is not Hitchcock but he does create a sense of dread and there are couple of effective shocks. A very good supporting cast Vera Miles, Meg Tilly and Robert Loggia help. The plot ads new twist to the original story line but it does make sense- but would Norman Bates even if he was cured would move back into his mother's terrible house?
I haven't seen that since its theater release. I wasn't expecting much at the time, but didn't find it terrible. Better than part 3, anyway.
I recently watched all of Hitchcock's films on disc, and watched all of the making-of featurettes on each release. Many of them featured Psycho 2 director Richard Franklin as a Hitchcock expert. I also remember him for directing the cult Aussie horror flick Patrick (1978).

When Pollard came on screen, I immediately recognized him from Summer Magic. I don't know what else he's in besides that, Bonnie and Clyde and an episode of The Andy Griffith Show. To me, he looked like a little Karl Malden.
The main things I recall Michael J. Pollard from besides Bonnie & Clyde are an episode of Star Trek (1966), Little Fauss & Big Halsey (1970) with Robert Redford, Dirty Little Billy (1972) as Billy the Kid, Melvin and Howard (1980), and Scrooged (1988). I've seen him in a lot more (Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland, anyone?), but the above are what I remember him from.
Have you seen these 10 classic films..?
