SEE BELOW, listed what I rate among most depressing films ever yet made yet incredible cinema I'm still a fan though pf the studio-system the most

SCARECROW is another vastly underrated film from the '70's & THE CONVERSATION & almost forgot AMERICAN GRAFFITI

What about MEAN STEETS, GFI & II, TAXI DRIVER, APOCALYPSE NOW & DEER HUNTER though? excuse me i'm addressing person who wasn't a fan of '70's cinema TWO LANE BLACKTOP, THE SHOOTEST, ANNIE HALL , MANHATTAN, THE FRONT, COMING HOME & NETWORK are others & I always found BEING THERE as brilliant

BADLANDS is superb But Malick only has been up for what I rank another great war film, surrealistic '98's THIN RED LINE Sheen did look like JD back then as did Dean Stockwell & Badlands has the ever superb Warren 0ates

we have one of our biggest splits buddy and I've gone to see GWTW 3 times & went to Wizard if 0z once, but there is a ton more from '39

strong list

if they were to give somekind of award for finest running post, it would be this one!

Many buffs rate KEATON over CHAPLIN

It's not quite as funny though as THE GENERAL or SEVEN CHANCES plus STEAMBOAT BILL, JR

Something to pay attention to with Curly Howard-(l903-52) he limped a lot, after accidentally shooting himself with a rife as a teen

LOVE THE STOOGES! Though as superbly talented as Curly Howard was, Shemp just made me laugh more I own about 90 on vhs still A TIP: A couple books on them Three Stooges Scrapbook-(A Plumbing we Will Go as a matter of fact was voted fans fav) & stooges Hollywood Locations

Donald Crisp can be seen in THE NAVIGATOR

He was a genius, a word they throw around far too uch in the movies, but was said to be difficult due to his heart

Yeah, almost the size of a phone book Sure miss the original NP Guide

Yeah, most are stunned he won 3 Oscars too They usually don't believe me Champs of performers to date are KATE HEPBUTN (4), D. DAY-LEWIS (3 so far), NICHOLSON (4), STREEP-(2 & 21 noms),, BERGMAN (2) & WALTER

Speaking of Pheonix (***1/2) went to a flat (**) rehash once of it

trivia of him, recall the weasels in ROGER RABBIT...? They were taken right from him & the gangsters in BALL OF FIRE

thanx for reply! Duryea didn't live long after the terrific Flight of the Phoenix

ever see skidoo it was his Myra Breckinridge

Then he's really long overdue, huh

Do you mean The Great oneGleason's Woody Allen adaptation of DON'T GO NEAR THE WATER? Ever see him trippin on lsd in skidoo?

what about about Beery or W.C. Fields?

Who hasn't, thought they hit pretty much everybody, or most name above the title stars

I know brennan hasn't though right?

He's already filming another one
