ccbaxter cool name I love The Apartment. There are so many good parts to that movie.

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the both of you newcomers !

I think Bette Davis was a beauty when she was younger much as I suppose one could say about me. Or any of us I imagine. However, for me I can't watch many of her films when she is older because of the Baby Jane film and an episode of Gunsmoke weird isn't it. In these she is shrill and loud and pretty offensive. I had read that they had described Bette as a pop eyed looking actress but to me she looked so different from all the cookie cutter actresses that she was refreshing. I also have to give her due credit for delving into her roles and giving it all her best and standing up herself when she thought she was getting a raw deal even if it would cost roles or suspension. Let's take Now Voyager for example my fav Bette Davis movie I watch it everytime I can- I never tire of it. She transforms before our eyes and we take that voyage with her. I also have seen Mr. Skeffington up to a point(had to go to bed) and I loved it and in fact would like to catch it again. The Catered Affair I would like to see it also but not only for Bette but for Debbie Reynolds who doesn't get enough accolades IMHO.

Did I miss Atlantic City??? Oh I wanted to watch it..crap.

I don't know if it is still open( since it is closed probably for the winter) but I live near a Drive-In in Oklahoma. I have never been. I intend to go but haven't. I went to drive ins in CA when I was a girl and what I remember is the playground more than the movies. That is until I got older and I saw Grease and Saturday Night Fever back to back. I also remember seeing the Muppet Movie also. My sister and I just loved the playground equipment....

Was this before or after A Woman's Face?

cool indeed

I am not a big Bing fan but on AMC recently I saw a movie he was in where he played a doctor who was always drunk. I don't know the title but Ann-Margaret was in it also. I would like to see this movie sans the commercials. My guess is it came out in the 60s since Bing was older and Ann Margaret hit her stride in the 60s. Hey just a quick thought wouldn't it have been cool if Ann-Margaret had been a guest programmer last month? Or maybe she would consent to a Private Screenings?? BTW am I the only one who thinks those Private Screenings episodes are to short?

filmlover say it ain't so..there's a remake of Born Yesterday? Is it called Born Yesterday?? I thought truthfully Born Yesterday Again?! but I love this movie... My favorite part is "a cartel!" love it.....

Now I am questioning myself but I am 90% sure that at the end when they scroll the cast on the screen I saw Larry Hagman's name which leaves me to wonder where in the world was he? Plus I thought I saw Darrin's name also however I am very sure I saw Hagman's-very sure of it. Even if it is not on the imdb I saw it.

I love The Longest Day. I love history. Every time the credits roll I see Larry Hagman's name I wonder just where in the world was he? Which is my ?-help. Help me figure out where Larry is and Paul Anka and Bobby Darrin. Thanks in advance. gwtwbooklover

it might help if you went imdb.com This is internet movie database.com. They have a feature where you can look for movies with quotes. Now that said when I tried it it didn't work for me. I was looking for a scene in an episode of Newhart the TV show. Good Luck!

I am starting to think that Hollywood doesn't know what to do with Jennifer Lopez or she can't find a role.. I know, I know, this is a classic movie sight and well ...but I'm just saying. I have watched her in Enough and parts of Maid in Manhattan and all of Monster in Law. I would like to see Out of Sight. But she is a victim she is poor she is all over the place. I'ld like to think there is some acting chops in there somewhere. I would like to see the move she made with Mark Anthony. I just think she's miscast or lost in a movie. She has no anchors in the movies I have seen her in.. I mean no parents, no husband or atleast he is an a-hole and even worse she has no ethnicticity in her roles. Has anyone else noticed this. Believe me I don't want Jennifer regulated to certain roles like Gina Lollabridgeda or back in the day how they didn't let certain actors out of their box. Or their perceived box if you will has this occured to you as you watch Jennifer Lopez? Anyway the best role I have seen her in is as a schoolteacher in the movie Jack. This was a small role but memorable to me and believeable.

Our Netflix of Monster in law came in and I saw Jane Fonda and Wanda Sykes steal the movie from J-Lo. I realized when this came in that we have been on a Jane Fonda Kick with our Netflix so far we have seen Klute and Coming Home and when I discovered she was in the original Dick and Jane I ordered it. Jane did a wonderful role and I thought she was so willing to play her role and proud of what she wore and how she appeared. Oh how can I put this I don't want to sound mean or be misunderstood she was sleeveless and at time make-upless and she looked like she should for a woman in her 60s. Lord older actresses usually cover it all up and this is what I am trying to say I admired this performance in Jane. She looked lovely she looked her age. I rate her an 8. I have to say my affection for Henry shines on Jane and that voice no one else sounds like Jane. I have yet to see any thing with Peter Fonda in it. I have to tell you all what my son said when we sat to watch Monster in Law he said "her husband was in On Golden Pond, Henry" I got tickled and corrected him. Oh yes we watched On Golden Pond not to long ago which is further the Fonda kick we are on...

Not horrific but sooo amusing Abbott and Costello meets Frankenstein...when the boys deliver the goods at the museum. Of course lots is up and Abbott is to late to see what Costello sees BUT we do and Costello's telling of what is going on is hilarious. I die of laughter everytime Costello can't speak and he does his pantomine of Frankenstein and Dracula-priceless. If you guys haven't seen this movie you have to see it just once and then if you are like me you'll watch till this part I described above and then check in for the line...that goes something like ..I know what I saw when I said that I saw it...

Let me agree with you putzegirl5 here here I for one would love to see Sybil. That movie has had such a profound effect on me-I carry around memories of watching it and I have for years. An excellent made for TV movie and Brian's Song another excellent movie I could go for seeing it. And how about the complete showing of Roots-now I could go for seeing it. As a young child I saw Roots night after night and was enthralled. I especially appreciate well made movies whatever source they may be. As for the no animals harmed theme how about big stars on the little screen? Now I know they about did the disease of the week to death but there are some gems in the made for Tv movies no doubt. BTW something else I'ld love to see is a beauty paegant I saw in the 80s the Miss NC what a show so entertaining. They had former winners hosting the event and I loved it. The paegant was a constant delivery of entertainment esp. the footage of the winner who dropped her crown....well I support your idea putzgirl5-great idea.

sandy-Well do I have the right scenes but the wrong actor? Or are you all talking about one movie and I'm talking about another?

Yes, yes all the info helped immensley. Thanks for the info everyone.

Wow how did you do that?

What is Alma doing in the scene with Hud when she tells him she's done her time with one cold hearted bastard and she's not looking for another one. She is squeezing liquid thru a cloth into a receptacle of some kind..thanks gwtwbooklover

thanks hlywdkjk for the info

I'm not familiar with New York City or Manhattan or the Battery. Do you know from the window if you will that Randall points out of is where the WTC would be erected in a mile or 5 mile radius or am I completely off the mark? I know that Manhattan is an island. And as much as I hate to admit it I could not begin to pin point just where what burrough the WTC where in.....?

Mongo how did Gene Kelley get the scar on the left side of his face? Also do you know if Steve Bogart the son of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall is a song writer? A country singer Dierks Bentley mentions a song that a Steve Bogart has a hand in writing and I wonder if it is Bogart and Bacall's son. Which leads to my next ? Sam Robards is he in the family business? If not what is he up to? Thanks....gwtwbooklover

I went to the imdb to try to answer my ? and in a way it does. It says Pillowtalk was filmed in New York, New York and Manhattan, New York. My ? is about a scene with Tony Randall and Doris Day. Randall is trying to talk Doris out of her love affair with Rex Stetson and what her carrying on a love affair with him would mean. For instance if she married him they would live in Texas and therefore she would leave the city where he felt she truly belonged. He then points out the window and we the movie audience is shown the city buildings. I have a ? about the surroundings of the city shot. I don't mean to be disrespectful and I hope I am not it is about The World Trade Centers and a church. Does anyone know where this window shot is taking- is the future WTC buildings near there(since this movie was shot in 1959)? And the church or the building the shot mostly features I am assuming it is a church since it looks like a church I saw a story about when a man was doing research on past volcanoes and he talked about volcanic ash. There was a church which did not have any debris from the falling WTC and I believe that was the church or building shown in PIllowtalk. He said the surrounding buildings sheilded the church from the debris from the WTC. The volcanic ash story was on the discovery channel I believe or National Geographic. God this is a hard one to ask.

and I reread what I posted and still messed up-I think the father.....
