For me, it would be somebody tall and lanky. A bit awkward. But not as handsome as Stewart or Cooper. John Caradine? Buster Keaton? Don't mind at all. If not John Caradine or Keaton, how about Perkins or Peck? lol

> {quote:title=joefilmone wrote:}{quote} > Tom Hanks has won two best actor Oscars- "Philadelphia" (1993), "Forrest Gump" (1994) Hi Joe. Yes, I know TH has won twice, but the question was who didn't win this year. lol I like TH's body of work. He has that old Hollywood flair. He can do comedy as well as drama, and if he does another pic this year I wouldn't mind him winning another award next year. :-) I know so few of the new kids on the Hollywood block it's not funny! If I had my druthers, I'd like to see Spencer Tracy win one and be there to pick it up himself. :-)

Oops, unless you're still a kid and the latest movie brings you up to date. lol

> {quote:title=texanna wrote:}{quote} > now that you got me thinkin', i guess after the 'wizard of oz' stage came the 'anywhere but here' stage. if you have not seen it, it is a movie with natalie portman and susan sarandon. Man, that is just so not fair! You've got two and you're only half way through your life and I haven't even come up with one for mine. lol

I think I only saw one of the movies nominated this year, so... But if I had to pick a celeb I like who hasn't won the award and should in my book, it would be...The envelope please. Tom Hanks! He's my Jimmy Stewart of today. lol

> {quote:title=texanna wrote:}{quote} > i miss "toto" Ha! lol

> {quote:title=texanna wrote:}{quote} > "the wizard of oz". at least for the early years. That is sooo cool! :-) I'm still thinking about mine. They say art imitates life, so there HAS to be one out there for ME, too. lol

Not just the title but subject matter. I'm thinking on mine...hmmmm....

hamradio and metsfan-It's obvious we are Jerry fans, so, yes, he absolutely deserved this award, and for his movies as well. If I had to pick my fave of HIS movies it would be, uh, um, The Delicate Delinquent. NO! Rock a Bye Baby. NO! Visit To a Small Planet. NO! Family Jewels. NO! The Nutty Professor. I guess you can see I really don't know, because I liked Cinderfella, too. :-)

If so, I can see where some would be offended. I guess it's like "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." It's how words are interrupted, and if you find it offensive and tacky, a little to much inuendo, well, you have every right to be. I heard the announcer, and as far as them being unable to pronounce Malle's Au Revoir, Les Enfants, well, some of us Americans don't have the knack to pull it off to sound like a Frenchman, but I'm sure he tried hard and did his best. lol

> {quote:title=metsfan wrote:}{quote} > I was touched by seeing Mr. Lewis receive this long due award and the amount of respect given to him tonight. There is nothing better than showing appreciation to someone while they are still alive. I was happy for Mr. Lewis, but I was a little disappointed his speech was so short. However, it did appear he was having trouble breathing so I understand him hitting and running off. :-(

My mother, the greatest movie fan ever, didn't care for Jerry after he insulted her one night at the Copa Cabana, and even though she gave me my love for all that is classic Hollywood, I have to say I like Jerry and I'm glad he got the award tonight. He's made me laugh so hard I cried, and that is a gift, and his humanitarian work with MD is quite remarkable for the years he's been devoted to it, especially now at his age. My mom, regardless of her feelings toward him, never missed watching the telethons. She may not have appreciated his sense of humor, but she did appreciate all his hard work for his MD kids and for that I'm sure she was looking down on the award show tonight and was happy for him, too. :-)

Thanks, Izcutter! Well I'll be danged! I am very impressed with their command of the English language and their love of the old classics. I am especially impressed with their self control in not using typical message board slang. That takes a lot of self control and I find it hard not to do that here myself, and I'm old! I was younger than they are when my love affair with the old movies began, which was long before there was a TCM glimmer in Ted's eyes, so I don't know why I find it so strange to find youngsters of the same ilk as I was as a kid. But if you don't mind, Izcutter, I'll eat my hat with some picanti. :-) Okay, I Love Ray and Sarah, I apologize for suspecting you being older and having some fun with me. You guys rock! :-)

But I'll play along, and if I am wrong and you both are just kiddies, then I'll eat my hat. But if you are as young as you both claim, I'm really impressed with both of you for your writing and your love of the old movies and send you a big kudos. :-)

I am one year younger than you, yet in 1963 I was in the fifth grade. Do you mean you were in _fifth_, and not _first_ ? Whoops, no, not first, I meant to write fifth. lol I'll go back and fix it. lol

Now that scene with Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed, well, to use a popular term in today's youth vernacular, "That's hot!" lol

I don't think I said this one this thread, but if I did, excuse me. I want to thank all of you who have posted so far, and if I missed replying to you pleaes forgive me. It was not intentional. I'm just getting the feel for this message board so please give me a little time to get up to speed. Also, there a but a handful of movies listed here not on my list of rewatchable movies. However, though they may not be rewatchable as in a gazillion bazillion times, they are worth two or three viewings. :-)

> {quote:title=Catwoman915 wrote:}{quote} > There are so many but a few would be Now Voyager, Life With Father, On Borrowed Time, Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, Etc, Etc, Etc. Thanks, and absolutely, especially Now Voyager and On Borrowed Time. :-) But my all time favorites, Etc, Etc, Etc. Ha!

I was in fifth grade and thought the teacher said President Kennedy was in the basement. I'd never heard the word assassinated before and I guess my ears deceived me and I began to fix my curls and get ready to meet him. It wasn't until I saw the brightest girl in my class crying that I came to understand what happened. I watched the following days play out on a black and white TV. Message was edited by: georgiegirl
