  1. Thank you, misswonderly, I'm absolutely going to look for these via classicflix.com. When a poster feels so strongly about a movie, it makes me want to check it out. Arturo also mentioned a film here yesterday that I wanted to see.

     

    I don't like horror movies either, with the exception of The Omen, because of the supernatural/existential quality of it. It's a brilliant film and is worth mentioning here.

    Thanks again for going into detail about the extras for The Omen and about Gregory Peck working on the film in that time of his life.

  2. The following are the 1939 features mentioned that I have yet to see:

     

    Babes in Arms (not a Mickey Rooney fan; in no hurry to see this one)

    Love Affair

    Daybreak

    Rules of the Game

    Sweepstakes Winner

    Let Us Live

    Le Jour Se Leve

    Stars Look Down

    First Love

    Arizona Kid

     

    Films that I've seen but only vaguely recall:

     

    Clouds Over Europe (Q Planes) - I do recall thinking Ralph Richardson was a hoot here

    First Avenue Girl

    I see some of the titles I listed deliberately lesser known has made people's lists.  That was my intention.

     

    :)

     

    Some of the old cowboy movies air on Silver Screen Classics a lot.

  3. This is not a cameo but a larger than cameo role and I do no know how many Americans have seen the series, but former Canadian Prime Minister Stephan Harper was such a big fan of the Canadian detective series Murdoch Mysteries that he appeared as a policeman in an episode.  This was *during* the time he was Prime Minister of Canada. I'm not exactly sure how or why  he did it, but this was *before* the attack on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. There were a lot of body guards on the set.

  4. Right now I'm watching "The Lost Weekend."  This is my second viewing of this film.  Again, I'm pairing this film with alcohol--a Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale Ale.  Last time, I paired it with Cuba Libres.  Not sure why I seem to have such uncouth pairing of refreshments with my films, but that's how it goes apparently.

    I think it is likely a coincidence.  A couple who are friends of mine routinly drink wine with their meals and then have coctails or something else in the evening.  If you watch a lot of movies while you eat which most people do, you will likely pair movies and alcohol. I take meds which interact, so I can't.  I don't think there is any deeper meaning than that.

  5. Okay, it's a Canadian singer, with a huge hit song that drove everyone crazy with it's constant airplay, a song that was the love theme from a big disaster movie of the 1990's?

     

    Well then it must be Bryan Adams! That *^(^(*%#&*&) song "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)" from that disastrously awful 1990's movie Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves drone me bonkers with it's incessant airplay.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Just kidding! It's Celine Dion.  :P

    That is correct.  It was always on the radio when I was a teenager -"My Heart Will Go on and On" was even disliked by Titantic's leading lady.  I still have not seen the film.  I may see it -eventually.......

     

     

    Your thread.

  6. Poor little GregoryPeckFan...Why do you construe everything I post to you as an insult? As darkblue said, I was genuinely trying to ascertain the difference between "movies new to me and new to me films". I thought perhaps I'd missed something.

    I truly did not think what you wrote was the result of a typing error. Typos ( and for that matter, spellos) are mistakes I make here quite often; I harbour no disdainful feelings towards others who also make them.

    Sometimes I even suffer from brainos.

    No worries, MissW.  I got you confused with another poster who actually *does* mean to insult me and whose post was deleted over night.  I have put that person on ignore.  Cheers.
