- G. K. Chesterton
From the original stories of Father Brown. It is the one where no one notices a person because he is in uniform. \it was mentioned by Jeremy Brett's version of Sherlock Holmes.
I know you know it, so I will say your thread either way.

That's right, Swithin.
Your turn.

Thread is open now.

I watch a lot of British TV and movies, so I'll post a question.
What is the name of the actor who plays Father Brown on current television?
What is the name of the Father Brown mystery which was mentioned by Sherlock Holmes?
Who wrote the Father Brown mysteries?

I get him on Me-Tv and I used to watch him all the time until I realized that I had to start getting up early on Sunday mornings and had to have the TV turned off and everything seem like I was ready for bed so my cat would understand that there was no more time for play that night -doesn't work all the time by the way.
There are plenty of times when my cat does not help my insomnia by the fact that, well, cats are night creatures.
I'm very familiar with commercials and don't have a problem with them. However, now that my teenaged neighbour has shown me how to use PVR, I can fast forward through them if the show I am watching is recorded.
I enjoy Svengoolie. Sometimes if he airs a particular favourite of mine like The Invisible Man I record the program so that I can watch it another time.

I've seen The Men. It has been a few years, but I remember I enjoyed the movie. It had a strong ensemble cast.
-
I am in love with the Monday daytime and evening schedule.

Wings of Desire- that is the one where Peter Falk plays himself as an angel, yes?
If it is, I highly recommend it too. It is excellent.

I've gone on vacation to Montréal - - and I've seen French movies on television.
Do you watch those?
Yes, I do.
We have a French version of CBC and I have it on from time to time.
I used to have it on during the 1994 season of Baseball because the Montreal Expoes were doing so well in that truncated year.
I got so I knew how to talk about baseball in French very well.
I see a lot of French Canadian movies.

I can clear this confusion up. Spence did not quote my post when he responded and thereby confused the thread.
I mentioned that I do not mind when groups like AFI -and I like it when they do shows - do lists in that these organizations are likely the ones that get people interested in preserving disintegrating films that might disappear and end up lost films.
Otherwise, I prefer the term FAVOURITE over Best.
But I believe that is why Spence's post did not make any sense. Quoting a post makes people able to figure out which post in the thread was the originally inspired idea.
Meanwhile, I went off and did not check this thread between the time I made my post and today.

Isabelle Huppert and the late Claude Chabrol are very well known in World Cinema.
TCM shows films that are primarily in English and, I imagine, that primarily are judged to be interesting to the American audience.
French artists like these have their films shown in large American cities.
I lived in a small town in the Alps in France. And their local cinemas had films from all over the world - - China, the United States, Latin America ect.
When a Woody Allen movies would come to town there would be two versions of them - - one in French and one in English with subtitles because he was so popular in France. Some people just had to see his movie in the VO- - that's French for original version.
However, in any place I've lived in the United States, I haven't had any trouble finding these movies on VHS and now on DVD at the public library.
I wondered if they might of aired in the Foreign Film segment Sunday into Monday......
Not sure if they would be here where I live in B.C.
Canada often has a film from Quebec nominated or on the shortlist for Best Foreign language Oscar.

This sounds like the ending of CHINATOWN gone haywire.
You mean the ending of Chinatown wasn't haywire?
Yes, this Hollywood story does seem like it was fiction from a book along the lines of Peyton Place, but it actually happened.

I have not seen this movie or any one that you list as being shown when Ms. Hubert got her award.
I noticed you mentioned a biography on Alfred Hitchcock called Alfred Hitchcock which is why I am posting in this thread despite not having seen the film.
How many - if any - have been shown on TCM?

LawrenceA has a thread in the favourites section on Brando.
I posted my thoughts on Brando in more detail there.
I enjoy some of his performances and not others. I prefer his early career. I watch films based upon his co-stars.
My favourite film of his is the comedy Teahouse of the August Moon.

The reason I didn't answer this question is because it was written incorrectly. Buddy Holly Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper were not on the way to the American Bandstand - TV show produced by Dick Clark. They were on their way to a rock and roll venue in Moorhead, Minnesota.
I would never have given that answer because American Bandstand had nothing to do with this story.
Sorry to interrupt - - but when it comes to rock and roll I like to get it straight.
And please excuse the interruption.
No problem. The way you and Lawrence correct people when they are wrong is very respectful. It is a lot different than being told to shut up.
I know that a lot of "dormant" threads get ignored because other games and trivia threads are answered all the time and usually people do not look past the first or second page. And I had not written on it in a few days.
In any case, the plane was called American Pie.
I declare this thread open.

I reported Barbie99 and later on another Barbie was spamming.

Thanks Paul for your choices including the cross out of Warren Beatty.
Did you see Lilith when it aired Tuesday? I saw it for Peter Fonda. Beatty was a bit over the top for me.
