Thank you for that, and I'm sure Mr. 6666 appreciates your response, too. :-)

Which is a ridiculous name as all they show is recent crap on there. > > I like youtube, but I am annoyed by all the rudeness and profanity on there. That type of thing is not for a public forum in my mind, and I highly resent it. Hey! Thanks for catching that! TMC/TCM. I went in and changed it. :-) I can ignore the comments on You Tube. It's mostly kids on there, and, yes, the profanity is over the top, but it's a way of life for many of them these days, regardless if it's on a public forum, and, in some cases, regardless if it's at home or at grandma's house. I hate to sound like an old fuddy duddy but I thought I came a long way, but, man, some of the youth today have come too long a way. IMO.

I think I may have missed responding to some who responded to me personally. Please forgive me. It is not intentional, and I'm not ignoring you, I'm just getting familiar with this site. So many of the movies mentioned by all of you here are movies I have seen countless times and will watch them countless times more, and I can't tell all of you how thrilled I am to know I am not the only 'gazillion/bazillion' times movie watcher in the world. Most people think I'm crazy when I say, "Oh, I've seen that movie a milion times?" They always say the same thing, "How can you do that? Twice is enough for me." I hang my head in shame and walk away feeling mocked. NOT! lol I love my movies and I don't care what folks think of me for watching a movie more times than there are stars in the heavens. lol

And so many others on your list. :-)

I thought of google plex but figured it'd be too obscure. lol That's why I went with the gazillion bazillion. Everyone got that. lol That was funny, Twelve Gazillion Bazillion Angry Men! Ha! As was your reference to our government's spending. lol

It's funny, I heard Hugh Hefner say, and I paraphrase, " A woman in lingerie leaves something to the imagination and there isn't anything sexier than that." Hugh Hefner said that! lol Yes, I'm sure we could name a million more scenes in the old movies that were as titillating as any gratuitous hot and heavy scene in any given movie today. Look, I'm not for, nor am I against R, X or XXX rated movies. Some would say art for art?s sake, and I guess today they have their place on movies shelves for those who want it, but it seems like most movie studios can't make a movie today, any movie, without that gratuitous sex scene or nude shot. Even the National Lampoon movies with Chevy Chase had nudity in them. WTH?! Why? Kids like those movies. I was sitting watching a newer movie while babysitting my four year old nephew and it came to a scene with a couple walking into a bedroom. Not having seen the movie, I grew a little antsy and had my finger on the remote, but before the couple even embraced my nephew turned to me and asked, ?Are they going to get naked?? That was it, off went the movie and in went a DVD of Shirley Temple in Bright Eyes. lol What really gets me is when I see a movie with a mild sex scene or a few curse words here and there and it turns out to be produced by Disney Studios. I think Walt would be turning in his grave seeing his name attached. lol I still get whoozy thinking of Gable looking into Greer Garson's eyes in Adventure. lol

> {quote:title=markfp2 wrote:}{quote} > Georgie, I'm not chicken, just slow to respond. I'll be 63 next month. What the heck! Age is only a number. I think that the average age of TCM viewers (not just posters) is higher than at most channels, but there does seem to be a lot of younger people watching, even if they all won't admit it. Um, I assume by your name you are male, so that explains the honesty. lol Woman are a lot less apt to be so forthright in giving their age, but it's refreshing to see some have. lol I am pleasantly surprised by the age of the TCM viewers, and I think you're right, the average age of TCM viewers is most likely higher than most. I can only imagine if they showed commericals what the products would be. lol

Great movies the year you were born! I know On The Waterfront is the best of them from 1953 for me, and I was born on February 6, so happy belated birthday to you!

> {quote:title=gagman66 wrote:}{quote} > georgiegirl, > > Whoops, I forgot TWO ARABIAN KNIGHTS! Also any and all of the Ginger Rogers, and Fred Astaire features. Or most anything with Ginger. Love it! Also love many Doris day films besides the afore-mentioned. Including ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS, ON MOONLIGHT BAY, and BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON. Along with numerous others. > > A really odd choice and I haven't seen it in years, and years but WHO IS KILLING THE GREAT CHEF'S OF EUROPE (1978). Is this on DVD? And I just can't leave out DOC SAVAGE THE MAN OF BRONZE (1975). I, too, love Ginger and Fred! And two of my favorite Doris Day movies are Love Me or Leave Me and Midnight Lace. Yep, watch them over and over, too. Also any 1930s Cagney gangster movies, and Dead End. Come to think of it, I probably love every movie I've ever watched with certain Golden Age stars and I can't think of one on my list I haven't seen those gazillion bazillion times and wouldn't watch again and again. I could watch, and have watched, the same movie over and over on the same day and not get tired of it! lol For sale, Who Is Killing The Great Chefs of Europe: http://www.amazon.com/Who-Killing-Great-Chefs-Europe/dp/6302447542 Kinda pricey Here's another but I don't know what the convesion is http://www.ioffer.com/i/WHO-IS-KILLING-THE-GREAT-CHEF-S-OF-EUROPE--82469841

Just to name a few. For me silent films, any with Clara Bow, Charlie Chaplain, The Gishes, Chaney and a few others. Cover Girl, Pillow Talk and Lover Come Back, yes, yes, and yes. lol

I have and will watch those others a gazillion bazillion more times. lol I could add about a million more titles to my list. The Day the Earth Stood Still is one of my all time favorite, if not my fave sci-fi!

A choice between Ray Milland or all those boys, I would agree with you! I got it! Yay! :-) Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? lol

> {quote:title=OneSharpDame wrote:}{quote} > One should never trust a woman who tells one her real age. A woman who would tell one that would tell one anything. - Oscar Wilde, from "A Woman Of No Importance" I never heard that. Did you ever hear, telephone, telegraph, tell a woman? lol

How come I don't see quotes on the top bar? Am I missing them? Where exactly are they? lol

I know this question was probably posed before but there are like a bazillion gazillion posts I'd have to look through to find it, and I'm not young and time is precious, so...lol Though there are many, the one movie I have watched over and over and over again, and could watch over and over and over again, is Auntie Mame with Rosalind Russell. Love her, love the movie. I wanted to grow up and be her. I have the nephew, and a few spare nieces, but not the money to open doors for them, doors they never dreamed existed. :-)

Yeah, Lost Weekend is a given. But have you, being one of such tender years, ever seen Rhubarb? lol I still say you're pulling my leg about being 15. But the longer I hang out at this site the better the feel I'll get for people here, 'cause you sure write good for a youngin', and to love The Lost Weekend and not Weekend at Bernie's is just not right for a kid. lol Or maybe I just judge 15 year olds by the ones in my family and those I see on TV. lol

That was funny, what you said about Mongo's Candid thread. lol But I don't know about that. With my red hair I kinda look like rocker Lucille Ball. Ha! Message was edited by: georgiegirl

Hey, BronxGirl! You're welcome. I've enjoyed inspiring and sharing memories on this thread. :-) I just wonder if there really was a time machine, and each of us got to go back to our own special moments in our individual pasts, if those moments in time we hold so close to our hearts were as warm and fuzzy as our memories of them seem to us now. lol

From what I read or heard somewhere, Raymond Massy had no great love for James Dean and that's why they say the scene where Dean is pleading with Massey for love is so very compelling. It seems Massey was less than pleased with Dean's oft times none professional behavior, but worse yet, Massey, being a man of high moral standards, was repulsed by Dean?s proclivity toward homosexuality. Dean, it was said, either to antagonize Massey more or just feeling really bad about Massey not accepting him as a feeling, thinking human being, used their relationship to its full potential to get the best out of the scene for both of them. Some say it was a calculated risk, others say it was just the chemistry between the men that took over and created that memorial scene between a father and son. Anyway it came about, wow!

Hahahahaha!

Whew! Thanks for being so honest. I'm not the oldest on this thread anymore. lol :-) I know I said this before, but I really thought folks here would be older than what the actual average is of those who repsonded.

Thank you! That was easy enough, young whippersnapper! lol
