  1. This is a Louis Jourdan of have never heard of before. Somehow, the name Louis Jourdan and 'Swamp Thing' don't fit together in my mind.
  2. MORE FAVOURITE MOVIES WITH FREQUENT MALE STARS IN HITCHCOCK: 2 or more films Gregory Peck in Spellbound Robert Cummings in Saboteur Charles Laughton in Jamaica Inn John Forsythe in The Trouble With Harry Farley Granger in Strangers on a Train
  3. I don't remember Peter Fonda being in Family Plot. Are you thinking of Bruce Dern? Thanks for your list. I love Notorious too.
  4. Because I do not own a copy of the movie and it does not air in Canada, it has been a few year since I saw Foreign Correspondent. Interesting thing about me and the first two movies you list. I thought that Hitchcock made horror movies specifically because I had seen famous scenes of The Birds and Psycho and since I am not a fan of the horror genre, had not seen any films of the director. Then Raymond Burr died. He is my favourite Canadian-born actor of all-time and I loved watching Perry Mason. I had seen him in several movies and I knew he hated always playing the bad guy in movies and that Rear Window was the only big screen movie he was proud of making. I decided that I could not consider myself a true fan of Raymond Burr and not see Rear Window. I became a big fan of everyone involved. I started watching Hitchcock movies with the same artists in Rear Window and went on from there. Eventually I saw Rear Window on the big screen in Vancouver. It is the only time I have seen a Hitchcock movie on the big screen. It was glorious. I find I am not able to watch Vertigo like I used to watch it. It is fabulous, but due to what happens to Scotty I have been unable to watch it since certain tragic things have happened in my life. Among Hitchcock movies I've yet to see, the most famous is his version of The Lodger.
  5. Despite my love for Agatha Christie mysteries, I could not get through Ordeal of Innocence starring Donald Sutherland. It was more depressing than anything else and bleak. Sutherland has been in some fabulous movies, but also really bad ones. Another movie I tried to watch recently but gave up about 30 minutes into the movie was Steelyard Blues.
  6. TCM will no longer be showing the original versions of any movie in any language. Instead, it will air only the most recently made versions of any book-uh, I meant comic book.....
  7. I am a big Hitchcock fan. I've seen nearly all of his movies, including titles that you never think of off the top of your head. What are your favourite Hitchcock movies, artists, sub-genres, movies with frequent stars, movies based upon books, and really any aspect of Hitchcock in general? I'll start with his most frequent male stars and my favourite movie of all time. Then I'll look at different aspects on different days so that it is a long running thread but not one where I am posting several pots in one day with no replies in between etc. My favourite Hitchcock movie of all time is Rear Window. He worked with two male stars 4 times each - James Stewart and Cary Grant James Stewart 4 Movies: Rear Window is my favourite. Cary Grant 4 movies: North By Northwest is my favourite. Among character actors, Hitchcock made the most movies with Leo G. Carroll. My favourite of his collaborations with Hitchcock is Spellbound.
  8. Oh, I missed so many great posts last night when I was watching The Great Escape and Bullitt. Oh, but then I went to sleep. I do not know why when I press the button to view new content I have to go through all sorts of off topic chit chat to find new posts in noir categories. A lot of people say about Noir: I know it when I see it. Then they cannot otherwise define it. There are a lot of my favourite Noir films that are in the first half of the 1960s. I've been looking at the lists of titles both of you have been mentioning and making a mental list of which ones I have already seen and which ones I haven't. regarding Dark City the original-I've discovered that there is no way for me to see it where I live. Sigh.
  9. Confession was an American remake of a German movie which was based upon a real-life event. I've gotten to know a lot of Kay Francis due to TCM. Her fans liked to go to her movies for a good cry. Regarding Basil Rathbone, he is a great example of how some artists who have two separate movie identities will be thought of by some fans from one perspective and by others another. I know Rathbone is most famous for playing Sherlock Holmes, but I've rarely seen his Holmes movies compared to the films where he is the bad guy. I think of him always as an evil swordfighter, Nazi, cad etc. The Bad and the Beautiful is one of my favourites too.
  10. TCM will be launching a Sister channel which will be devoted to movies about sisters.
  11. FEBRUARY 11th: Happy 80th birthday to Burt Reynolds! Today was also the birthday of Leslie Nielson and Eva Gabor.
  12. I'm recording it too. Anything with that cast and director is worth a look. I am not familiar with this title.
  13. With The Letter, for me it is the opposite. I've never seen the original. So The Moon and Sixpence is your favourite of Mr. Sanders. I enjoyed that film, but I cannot decide what my favourite of his is. The Son of Monte Cristo and The Man in the Iron Mask are both fun.
  14. I have seen some of these movies but not all of them. Laura is one of my favourite movies of all time.
  15. TCM will be taking polls from Canadian viewers to find out what our favourite movies are. Following this, they will decide upon which titles to make sure they do not have available for the 2017 TCM Canada schedule.
  16. No plans to colorize the ending of The Wizard of Oz?
  17. My favourite of his is The Big Clock. I haven't seen Calcutta yet.
  18. Edward Dmytryk has not yet been mentioned (Murder My Sweet, Crossfire)
  19. I still haven't seen The Spiral Staircase, Blood on the Moon or Christmas Holiday. The Spiral Staircase is set to air as part of the look at Ethel Barrymore during the Barrymore spotlight. Hopefully it will air in Canada.
  20. Turner Classic Movies will devote the Summer of 2016 to showing movies that have a continuous Commentary on Behind the Scenes movie making that cannot be shut off given by people who never met any of the artists involved.
  21. Besides Gregory Peck- of course : I can't get enough of Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, Glenn Ford or David Niven. Movies I can't get enough that don't include these artists above include but are not exclusively Rear Window, Shadow of a Doubt, The Great Escape, Laura, and Some Came Running.
  22. I heard that Ben the Mank was going to star as Robert Osbourne in a biopic ..
