(I really wish they would release Feud.....)

I really think that all of this is worse than Fox than the combined forces of Cleopatra, Doctor Doolittle, Star, Hello Dolly, and Tora Tora Tora were back in the day.

Don't expect to see any more Fox films at revival houses in big cities......

Bette decided to shake Miriam rather than using the pitchfork....
It always struck me as odd that in the remake they had the leads have a tug of war over a teddy bear that ripped open instead of the shaking, arguably the best known scene in the original film.

Judging the Craig-era titles, Casino Royale of course goes back to the origins of the character, Skyfall has a cool, mysterious ring to it, and Spectre name checks the series' greatest villain group. However, Quantum of Solace is pretty darn clunky, even if it has its origin with Fleming.
No Time to Die is a little too generic, like one of the Bond knock-off books.
True. It's kind of like the titles for two of the Brosnan films Tomorrow Never Dies and Die Another Day. Both could have been used for many other thrillers over the years.

I like the way they stylized the title.... and yet I think its a pretty bland title for a Bond film. Most titles in the series have had flashier titles than this.

List on Letterboxd with all the films coming to the Criterion Channel in September...
I do wish that the John Schlesinger block (Billy liar, Darling, Midnight Cowboy, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Marathon Man, and H0nky Tonk Freeway) had also included Far from the Madding Crowd, The Day of the Locust, Yanks, and Madame Sousatzka, all overlooked and underrated.

Agreed, but change the date to the last decade (2009-2019) and the number of "great" movies dwindle to a handful.
Agreed.

It does seem strange that this film was never released on VHS or DVD. After all, Patty won a Golden Globe for it, and although it wasn't a big box-office hit, most who have seen it remember it very fondly.

Young people that I talk to particularly millennials know about 4 movies, Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, It's a Wonderful Life, and the Wizard of Oz. For some reason a lot of them have seen The Wizard of Oz in school and they really like it.
The only old time director that they connect with is Hitchcock because at Halloween a lot of them watch Psycho.
Quite a few girls that I've seen around town have this Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe t-shirt, purse and stuff like that. Some of them actually know who these actresses were and are fascinated by their lives. I don't really see anything similar going on with the boys.
But it's not just movies, this generation is disconnect and they have their own world and they might as well be people from the moon. But I think most of the Millennials that I've met oh are really decent kids who are somewhat overwhelmed with media, working, serious family issues and little or no parental supervision.
I guess I'm an abnormality then. I'm a millennial who has seen over 3,750 films, and the vast majority (74.6%) were first shown before I was born. Just a little less than half of everything I've seen predates 1970.... so maybe that's why I was a bit peeved by the flashings of names, because I knew who they were. But I know my taste is not like others my age.

My favorite scene is Sylvia Miles' scene of indignation early on in the film.

Did they do that for the clips in the other episodes? I only saw the Golden era episode.
They definitely didn't do it in the ones from the 70s onward. i missed the 60s one.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood's trailer made me cry. Always a great sign. Cats, I didn't know what to make of the portions I saw. Didn't see the others.

I saw part of this finale. I fully expected it to be mostly the old standbys and that is what it was, but, if anything, the thing that disturbed me most was that whenever they had a bit lengthier a film clip, they would flash the names of the leads in the scene, as if nobody knew who they would be if they didn't flash the names, a concession to people who don't watch many classics. I guess I could understand for maybe Joan Blondell but for Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert, Vivien Leigh, Bela Lugosi, Katharine Hepburn, Judy Garland, and Greta Garbo as well? Kind of humiliating..... I think only John Wayne and maybe barbara Stanwyck were spared that.

I think a brief clip from intolerance was shown for you Griffith enthusiasts
They did. I saw part of the finale, and it was definitely there.....

Two more coming to Blu-Ray

I liked the film and stayed up to watch it and High Wide and handsome. I have to wonder if Columbia holds the rights to it today, despite being done at Universal. Columbia made the remake and the Screen Gems logo appeared at the end of the film.

His early film appearances were noteworthy.
He had a delicacy that was most attractive and refreshing.
Later on, he decided to toughen up the image.
But I could never forget him in the one with Jean Seberg and Warren Beatty.
RIP, Peter.
Lilith! Oh yes, he was exceptional in that. That whole film was very underrated. Quite risque for 1964. Warren Beatty, that might be his finest performance, and Jean Seburg was at her best too. Also really early appearances from Gene Hackman, Jessica Walter, and Olympia Dukakis (unbilled). Would be nice if it turned up on TCM someday.
