    Oh ,yes Speedy, The Birds in The Birds are very important supporting players. I just had to add a best animal performance category. These unique categories are such fun.

    14, not 16? Oh well. I stand confused. They made a lot anyway. I will edit that correctly. Love your new avatar, Speedy! I have not seen The Senator Was Indiscreet either. I love all the movies you mention. I watch their movies over and over. Particularly love the scene about Pots. Thanks for sharing your favourites.

    I am watching Wuthering Heights which I have seen dozens of times. I always watch it when it is on.

    When I saw this movie for the first time I hated it. I wondered who was forcing Simon to read books he hated and did not care for the fact that there was no "Shamrock Helmes." I have been a lifelong fan of Christie and her peers and love the intricate puzzles that are great for the brain. I prefer The Cheap Detective. I saw it again recently during the Star of the Month look at David Niven. I still think it should have had a Holmes parody but I no longer hate it. Parts of it I find very funny.

    When is The Double Man scheduled to air on TCM - I hope we get it. I have seen Flight From Ashiya. It is an oddity. It is like three mini movies in one that don`t quite fit together, although separately they are enjoyable.

    The Lodger 1944 version has a lot of stars in it and I enjoy it. Craiger`s final two films were stellar.

    I love A DAY IN THE LIFE. I spotted M.N.

    I stand corrected. He didn`t write a song I love. Anyway, I really appreciate the fact that when Davy Jones died - I was absolutely besotted with him from the time I was 4 - that the remaining members of the group stayed away from the funeral so that the family could have privacy.

    501 There they are! These are the people who think they can just pair any food or drink with any movie they please.

    That`s right Terrance. Anka was a pop idol in the 60s with songs like Put Your Head on My Shoulder and Diana. He wrote the English language lyrics of MY WAY for Sinatra which became a Sinatra standard. He (Sinatra) sang other Anka songs as well. Sinatra always mentioned the names of the composers and lyricists of all his songs. Your thread.

    Personally, I never cared for Michael N.of the Monkees. The only song of his he wrote - and I do love it - is Last Train to Clarksville. I preferred them in order of: Davy Jones Mickey Dolenz Peter Tork Michael Nesmith Michael does not need music. He is the heir to White Out.

    Hint: I am a big fan of the American singer who sang this Canadian`s song.

    I am a big fan of Yul Brynner. The only film of his I`ve tried to watch but could not finish was The Sound and the Fury which aired as part of the recent spotlight on Southern writers because it was too depressing and weird for me. I really tried to finish it for Yul. I have by no means seen all of his movies yet, but that is the only one I have tried to watch but could not finish. The Ten Commandments is the most recently seen Brynner movie for the first time for me. The reason it has taken so long is that it is a long movie of a subject which I only watch at Christmas or Easter and there are other movies I watch first. (I notice that Ben-Hur is airing on Sunday. I have seen the original, but not the remake - same reason.) Here are SOME of my favourite Yul Bryner movies: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN THE KING AND I ANASTASIA WESTWORLD THE BROTHERS KARAMOSOV THE JOURNEY CAST A GIANT SHADOW

    9) The pride and joy of the commanding officer played by James Cagney was a palm tree that all on board had to treat like a jewel.

    In any case, I have seen all of the remaining movies in this spotlight which interest me at least once- and also some that don`t, so I don`t have to bother watching her introductions and conclusions anymore. **I have mentioned before my irritation of the ending of Blow Up not resolving the murder before. I really wanted to know who the killer was. But no, we get to watch tennis instead.

    This Canadian is a singer, composer, and actor. He was a pop icon of the 1960s who idolized his favourite singer so much he wrote a song for him that became a standard for this idol. Name the Canadian and the song he wrote.

    Thanks for the photo of My Darling Greg with his Oscar.

    Nicholas Campbell appeared in The Dead Zone directed by Cronenberg. He played the title role in Davinci's Inquest.

    Well, you got it anyway.

    You know, the way this conversation is going reminds me of what the reaction was in the Favourite Performances thread when I mentioned that the only Marx brothers movie that worked for me the whole way through was Night of the Opera because it is full of music and otherwise I only like certain scenes in their films. Also, that the only comedy team I ever liked everything they did was laurel and Hardy. I knew many of the people would disagree with me and I just let them. Comedy is subjective to what you enjoy. Regarding psychical comedy in general: The comedy Harold Lloyd did in his silent films was very funny. But when it was switched to talkies it was frightening.

    I love Dead of Night. I could not remember the title. I have yet to see Magic.

    The Stephan King book. It's on my to-see list. James Garner was the classic co-star for Murphy's Romance. I used to love this movie. I haven't seen it since Haim died. Your thread.

    Charlie McCarthy, that's right. Thanks, Lawrence. Maybe Charlie McCarthy can be a TCM guest host or guest programmer. I can think of his lineup of movies: Attack of the Puppet People Invasion of the Body Snatchers The Muppets Christmas Carol The Twilight Zone episode where the dummy and the real person switch bodies.
