GREAT SHOT!!!

It's easy to locate the entire list, especially on it's marvelous www.afi.com website They were established in 1967 but didn't start the award until 1973 with *John Ford.

*Wayne was likely too politically outspoken though, it didn't matter nearly as much then though with this pc garbage, but probably did Example is him outrageously being voted down the AFI 1999 list at 13th of all-time male actors?

To Jakeem, you really hit the bullseye on *"THE DUKE!" Personally I easily rate him among it's all-time top 3 screw up's too 1st though is *CHAPLIN

*"The Woodman" probably, no, almost certainly would never have personally accepted it though, unfortunately Agree 100% though on *DUVALL!

Most already know that for some reason & within the last year it's virtually impossible to log back-in to these great forums? But why? It didn't used top be like this & once in, you cannot sway from here or get logged back out PLEASE HELP!

TCM has never had George Raft (l895-l980) as STOM, a one note actor & *cagney said Raft was the real toughest guy in Hollywood. Same goes for Reagan? But also pretty flat as an actor

*Finch wanted to campaign for leading actor, same way *(Hopkins did for *"Silence of the Lambs" (l99l)

& at the time I believe her performance was the shortest to ever win an *Academy Award. She beat Jodie Foster in "Taxi Driver' too

Most likely know that *Oscar winner: *George Clooney-(l961-) received the current AFI-(American Film Institute) award for Lifetime Achievement, however who should be it's next recipient? For years I went on about them ignoring Peter 0'toole & they waited too long apparently & it's list is very long of AFI snubs over the years-(NOTE: Unlike *Oscar it's recipient must accept award in person, hence no: *Kate Hepburn, *Brando, Garbo,etc ) I like *Clooney a lot, but he's not done enough, just in my view anyway & who deserves or a predix of whom should get it next time? THANX

"BULLIT"

Just once again noticed the jerks with the Asian spam, why isn't it blocked though?

Who's STOM for March?

He truly had the leading actor role in the brilliant "Network" though *Finch was magnificent, but really in my opinion more a supporting work

I personally only rate "Band of angels" ok (**1/2-out of 4) Good one about *Kate & Mitchum. She also loathed Nick Nolte during the awful (*) 1985 "Grace Quigley"

But his *Oscar winning role as Sefton in 1953's "Stalag 17" is probably his best role & Joe Gillis in "Sunset Blvd" Miscast in 1939's "Golden Boy" (**1/2) though, John Garfield was made for that part

It's disgusting & typical of this era were are in that the legendary *"GWTW" is banned from playing in theaters!!! Even the famed "Tampa Theatre" down here now also refuses to book it again It's not among my favorite's, but should be seen on a big screen, luckily I did get to go to it 3 times over 35yrs

As a kid of about 10 I went to the local dumpy theatre in Delaware & saw "The Towering Inferno" several times, because Steve McQueen was my first idol/hero. *Billy wilder though desperately wanted his idol Cary Grant in *Bogey's role for 1954's "Sabrina"

AGREED 100% ON THE CARTOON'S, ESPECIALLY WARNER BROS. & LOONEY TUNES. Speaking of kids' struff, by now most probably know that *Hanks is playing "Mr. Rogers"

Is this topic about where films were shot? Because the 1985 fantasy "Cocoon" ($76m.)( that also won Oscars for Best supporting actor-(Don Ameche) & Visual Effects was filmed down here in St. Petersburg, FL & I got to be on the set in the summer of 1984 for about 8hrs it was filmed right next door to the apts I lived in & the rest was shot a couple miles down the road at another retirement Community. met *Ron Howard, Tahnee welch-(what happened to her>), *Maureen Stapleton, *Jessica Tandy, Gwen Verdon & Steve Guttenberg on this long day, but the 3 guys' W. Brimley, Cronyn & *Ameche weren't there that day or shooting elsewhere. I was just 19 then & first time I saw movies shot out of sequence. It was a huge thing then & covered in all the newspapers

He died same weekend as NATALIE around November 29th, 1981

^ *Holden was R. 0sborne's all-time favorite actor, as well as *Kevin Costner, Bill Murray & Alec Baldwin's

Se 1953's "The Actress" MGM with *"The Great: Spencer Tracy"-(strangely won a Golden Globe but was not up for another Oscar?) It's based on her-(Jean Simmons) as a young girl

The late Hal Ashby is among the biggest forgotten filmmakers of the 1970's, with this, "Coming Home" "Last Detail" "Being There" & more

Cort also had a very small role as a weasel in 1995's powerhouse "Heat"
