spence

KUDOS for the clips fans But again can someone dig up a couple more I cited?i

Of living actors Norman Lloyd is 105 followed by *Olivia de Havilland a few months older then Douglas Oldest living Best Actor Oscar winner now is *Poitier at 92

(***1/2) his fav role by the way

Bill Maher in particular is heading a lg petition drive to remove the THE GREAT ONE JACKIE GLEASON'S statue in frt of the NYC bus terminal, due to him always threating Alice & such THIS IS JUST MORE PC NONSENSE There is also a life size statue of Gleason in frt of the EMMY headquarters, ironically he never even won an EMMY either Art Carney won 3 for THE HONEYMOONERS & Audrey Meadows one, but JACKIE would always lose to Phil silvers in Bilko??? & he only earned 1 Oscar shot for The Hustler He was certain he'd win Best Actor though for Papa's Delicate Condition THE GREAT ONE-(both Orson & Lucy started that nickname) URGENT & HILARIOUS CHECK OUT THE CLIP ON YIOUTUBE OF JOHN HERBERT GLEASON-(Irish) tripping on LSD in Skidoo He was also robbed of a s. actor shot opposite Hanks ion 1986's terrific Nothing in Common

I've written quite about Reel Cowboys.org & it's annual SILVER SPUR AWARD, this year Clint Eastwood will be honored with it

Finally just got to view SINATRA'S rarely known 1956 Western Johnny Concho (barely ***) it's among only a handful of THE CHAIRMAN'S 58 flix I had yet to see & TCM rarely if ever airs it? This time of all people he played a coward of sorts vs William Conrad the MVP of the picture FRANK made 4 Westerns, can you guess them?

Thought it was good (strong ***) but not great filmmaking, debit to me was the visuals

the very first appearance of Harry Lime-(Welles) is legendary & Roger Ebert picked it his all-time favorite sequence

please do

This goes back a longtime, but just for your stats keepers such as myself thought it would be interesting, please let me know either way In 1971 top critics & executives voted ion the all-time retest in motion picture history in VARIETY They divided categories though as seen below SILENT ERA Best Film: The Birth of a Nation-(not Intolerance?) Actor: *Charles Chaplin Actress: Greta Garbo SOUND ERA Film: *Gone With the Wind Actor: *Spencer Tracy Actress: *Ingrid Bergman Producer: *Irving G. Thalberg & OVERALL VOTES Film: *GWTW Actior: *Chaplin Actress: Garbo Producer: *Samuel Goldwyn For some asinine reason they left out directors???

You are THE MAN

Knowing this crowd I;m certain you watch motion pictures over & over as do I So what films have you seen the most times, so much so you not only know upcoming scenes, but the dialogue as well> To start the ball rolling I'll go first Truth or Dare (I know what your thinkin MADONNA right) *The Godfather *The Godfather, Part II Angels With Dirty Faces (since I was about 10) Bad Day at Black Rock Shane Inside Daisy Clover Captains Courageous White Heat & of course KANE (Runners-up: M-G-M When the Lion Roars, GoodFellas & Treasure of the Sierra Madre) THANK YOU

Couple weeks ago once again for the 100th time watched SHANE

most don't care for those as well

Do you agree that Greg Toland was the John Ford of them all? Runner up James Wong Howe

tom will be in the s. actor race due to the main story being about the writer

unfortunately it's getting more obvious that hanks will not take home his 3rd Oscar as mr rogers, though a lock to be nommed for it given the annual pre Oscar awards it's likely to be between pacino and pesci in the irishman at least tom will garner his first shot in 19yrs for castaway though

The annual death roll at the Oscars will be big this year

Did anyone include THE MALTESE FALCON (l94l)?

yet another good choice ^ in my Alternate Oscars I have Steve as deserving Best Actor I'M STILL HERE YOU BASTERDS Any of THE GREAT ESCAPE'S tremendous finale too?

Charles Lucky Luciano-(l897-l962)

YOUR A LOW DOWN LYIN' YANKEE, PROVE IT

Bendix delivered his best work in D. Story & shoulda been nommed

The explosive & music driven by Leonard Bernstein beginning of WATERFRONT

Yet another RUNAWAY TRAIN'S unforgettable ending with Jon Voight
