STAIRCASE?????????????????????????????????? I don't believe eI have even heard of the movie! Re: ancestry My father wanted me to refer to myself as a Caucasian of Mediterainian Descent. He was NOT HAPPY when I told him that if you were to combine my English, Welsh, Irish, and Scottish ancestry they made up 3/8th of my background and that combining Sweedish and Norwegian ancestry make up 1/4 of me. (the remaining is French and German)

The Gazebo has a lot of macabre humour in it like a lot of Hitchcock movies. It is a lot of fun.

I got a couple of minutes through the first film introduction which was the only movie of the night which was new to me, decided NO! I agree with MissW that I like the movie BU better than I did when I first saw it. But now it has more to do with the fun soundtrack. By the way, Blow Up was the only movie I watched on the evening. I wanted to see if my opinion changed after all the conversation about this one film. It did, but .................................................I am still not a D.H. fan. Someone mention Seth Rogan in regards to Kiss Me Stupid. Well, I did like KMS. But count me as a Canadian who has never found that fellow Canadian funny. Snore!

I have not yet seen Beckett. It has been on my list of to-see films for years. I love some historical films and not others. I love well made historical films and I am sure I would love Beckett. But I can watch badly made musicals from the early talkies era and enjoy them. I could NOT get through the Frank Sinatra and Cary Grant movie about Napoleon called The Pride and the Passion. Turns out Sinatra could not either.

Yes, Princess. One of the reasons Bogie started this thread is to alert each other to wonderful performances which we have missed.

Re: The Desert Rats; It has been a while since I have seen this movie. I would love it to be paired with THE DESERT FOX. James Mason makes a cameo as Rommel AKA The Desert Fox in the other movie. It has also been a few years since I saw THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD. That movie is my favourite Burton film. The other movies I mentioned seem to be on TV the most often.

Thanks for alert, Film Lover! I saw this years ago, coupled with another short Hitchcock made, but it has been so long. Excellent!

No, I was not upset about the poaching Seriously, why would I object to anyone taking over talking about someone and a movie that \I don't like? Now, if you were to start a thread about called THE HANDSOMENESS OF GREGORY PECK, I would want the thread to remain active at all times. Surrealism, existentialism, etc. All this is beside my point in my post which was this: How am I supposed to digest the information that Sister Rose and I agree about wanting more made of the murder mystery given that she is making all these errors? She does not 'get" Blow Up either.

Tonight will be better. Merle is back in the building.

Hello, Lucille Ball fans! CLASSICMOVIERANKINGS has completed his page on Lucille Ball movies where he was able to find box office information. Here is the page; http://www.ultimatemovierankings.com/lucille-ball-movies-2/ I have not left a message on yet. Usually I do before I post a link here, but I just got up and I wanted to post it now.

I love Burton's voice. His is a sad history and he was an excellent stage actor. I know some people who are not Olivier movie fans sometimes say that if the stage performances are not filmed, how can we now know how great an actor a stage actor really was? I recently saw Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe for the first time - I saw it after Mike Nichols died. I am glad I waited until I was nearly 40 to see it. It was near impossible to get through. The films of his I have seen most often are ones that deal with alcoholism. this does not mean that they are bad films. these just happen to be the films I have seen the most often: The V.I.P.s Night of the Iguana Where Eagles Dare

That's right, Shutoo. It's breathtaking. The film could easily have been part of the Art in Movies festival.

Oh, I agree with you about the guitar, Limey. I can't stand watching the destruction of musical instruments either, especially rare ones or expensive ones. Must be the fact that I have musicians in my family. Some violins are valuable.

Have you seen my thread MY INABILITY TO "GET" DAVID HEMMINGS? After all my talk about the fact that I wanted this to be a murder mystery, wouldn't you know - Sister Rose mentioned that she thought it would have been interesting to explore the murder but that the director got caught up in the 1960s sex scene? So I am not the only one!

You know there a lot of famous people who died in airplanes. I am not sure why I mentioned an avalance regarding Dino. Anyway, the point was somehow lost in my error that outliving your child changes you in a way that nothing else can. I say this not having any children of my own but knowing people who have outlived their children who have never been the same person. You aren't supposed to outlive your children - no matter what the cause of death. And no matter how old you are, your children are always your children.

Yes, sorry I was thinking of someone else. Justin Trudeau's brother.

You know Speedy, I am like you in that I am more conscious of people being dead if I am at a tombstone and I've never been in California, despite that being where my parents met in music. People in movies and music are always alive so long as the movies and music exist. I have heard of movies of people who are lying in the cemetery being projected at the ceremony, and this I find interesting. But I watch these films or listen to the music of these artists and they are alive to me, even if they died before I was born.

MY PARTIAL LIST OF TO-SEE 1935 MOVIES: these interest me the most: (too long to list all): Oil lamps of China The Mystery of Edwin Drood Black Sheep The Devil is a Woman The Ghost Goes West Harmony Lane If You Could Only Cook Goin' to Town The Man on the Flying Trapeze Peter Ibbestson Dante's Inferno Barbary Coast Enchanted April La Kermesse Heroique

People who are dead don't blink either, Limey. As I watch the second half of this film, I see this movie in a new light. I still don't enjoy this film, but I can't figure out why I ever thought it was anything other than a soft porn film.

THE RICH ARE ALWAYS WITH US (1932); First time watched recorded on TCM. Many thanks to Bogie56 for alerting everyone that this movie was airing. This movie is a pre-code drama starring Ruth Chatterton, George Brent, various character actors and an early performance of Bette Davis. Various love triangles and an inability to let go of people you have loved is the theme. If you really love someone and not just sexually attracted to them do you have their happiness in mind even if it means they love someone else and that you can't be with them? I won't give away how it ends, but it is certainly pre-code in its frank discussion of sex and morals. I love this movie.

THE THIN MAN: (full of them, so I will just give some examples) Nick: We're all like that on my father's side Nora: How is your father's side? Nick: Much better thank-you. _______________________________________________________________ Nick: They didn't get anywhere near my tabloids ______________________________________________________________________________________

You mean you don't want Horton to be your iphone wallpaper, Speedy? There are several character actors and actresses I figured out their names because of always appearing in Astaire/Rogers moves. Besides Horton, they introduced me to Eric Blore and Eric Rhodes (BENINI!)
