And speaking of psychology, MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE -- now that's what I call strange
This is one of my favourite Sinatra movies. It was toned down from the book.........................

Also HARVEY -- the funny version of the crazy uncle
This was the first James Stewart I ever saw. Having majored in Psychology I tend to be turned off by most movies dealing with psychoanalysis unless I am already a fan of the actors/actresses. I fell in love with the film right away.

7) Harold Lloyd was his own producer on his films and had control over his films similar to Charles Chaplin. The two tried to talk Buster Keaton out of signing with MGM.

Glad to hear Pigskin Paradise is airing on TCM. I have no access to Fox Classics.

"Bells Bells Bells" on Amazon Prime
THE BELLS GO DOWN with James Mason
THE BELLS OF ST. MARY'S with Ingrid Bergman
THE MIRACLE OF THE BELLS with Fred MacMurray
Is this Miracle of the Bells with Frank Sinatra? When is it airing? I hope I have access to it.

Kay:
I should follow your example and ignore alphabetic requirements since my typing skills aren't great and I am likely to accidently delete things trying to put them in order.
As for your choices: I see lots of references to Pigskin Parade and I not only have NOT SEEN IT, I have never even heard of it.

I am watching the ending of Arabesque which started before I got home.
Goofy and not at all like Charade, but Gregory Peck and Sophia loren ARE HOT, so I don't care.

I have several Merle Oberon movies I have recorded and waiting for me.
I have looked up the evening schedule for this week.
I sang today. I have rehearsal Tuesdays. Thursday is Maundy Thursday and I don't have to sing, but there is a service in the evening. Friday I am singing in the morning for Good Friday. Sunday is Easter.
I have a feeling that I will be watching a lot of recently recorded PVR movies that are new to me and skipping Thursday night programming.
I will likely be watching a lot of Merle Oberon and other 30s and 40s movies this week.

I love living where I do. We have 4 seasons.
I think I will skip Ben-Hur then. I will watch a different version.
Thanks.

I'll give the next clue:
Which actor/comedian from this era has recently been put on a Canadian stamp and is known for making odd faces with his face muscles?

Gregory, your Bizarro award reminded me that I forgot to post an important award with my list:
Best performance by an odd character with a bow and arrow:
Irving Pichel in Dracula's Daughter
That is one of the many films I expect to add to my to-see list on Saturday.

I just watched The Great Escape (1963) for the first time last night and enjoyed it very much. It was sad, and made me angry, but a great movie.
Isn't it a fabulous film?
I have seen it about 100 times, so I skipped it last night and tried to pare down my PVR movies. I read the book that was a biography on The Great Escape when I was in junior high and was intrigued then.
I love this movie and most of the actors in it are among my favourites where I want to see everything they were in.
It does make you angry about the 50. That was the point.
It did achieve the goal of taking Nazis away from the front, but it came at a huge cost.

You live on the west coast?
i do not like anything about the 1959 version. It is a film that alternates between being really boring and really goofy.
And they show it way too much, especially in prime time and on the weekends.
The silent version with Roman Navarro is a way way better film right down to the structuring of the story.
Yes, I live on the west coast. I am from British Columbia, and live right above the American border.
I have seen the Roman Novarro version and enjoy it.
Your non-recommendation is not getting me excited to watch the Biblical epic.
I generally DON'T WATCH biblical epics at all unless I am a fan of the actors and even then only near Easter or Christmas.
I only recently saw The Ten Commandments for Yul Brynner earlier this year for the first time.

JAMES STEWART INTRODUCES THE SONG "EASY TO LOVE" IN BORN TO DANCE
The man who recorded the song that was meant to be lip syncing for Stewart had a trained singing voice which sounded nothing like Stewart. Cole Porter gave Stewart permission to "croak" his way through this song that became a jazz standard.

RE: MISSWONDERLY'S PICK-UP ON SOUTH STREET REVIEW:
SPOILERS:
________________________________________________
I am not big on happy endings in film noir either, unless there has been a bad ending for others. Otherwise, it is not like a noir, it is more of a drama. Usually Richard Widmark played nasty characters when he was and to see him in this movie , Panic in the Streets (he's a good guy trying to keep the plague from spreading), and in Night and the City where he is a guy down on his luck he can't seem to get the good breaks.
