How right you are and the two of them where absolutely stunning in their respective roles. Boom Town - Hedy Lamarr as Karen Van Meer Waterloo Bridge - Vivien Leigh as Myra Lester

I just wanted to say that I went into the film thinking I would not like not remake because of Johnny Depp's performance,but instead I liked them film but was left yearning for the scenes they changed or cut out. Specifically the song "The Candyman Can" which is in the beginning of the original. That song was my favorite part of the film. But they cut it out, and made it so only the Umpa Lumpa's would sing. So, i liked it, but i yearned for the original movie.

Hey, any of you guys seen the new korean film called Memories of Murder? Its a Silence fo the Lambs like horror/drama film about Korea's first serial killer. Its a great film, I definately recommend it to all of you. Asian horror films are great (as we all know by the countless American remakes), but this film shows that they know how to scare people and make people care about the characters. I got a promo copy cause I am an intern at UMVD, but i think it comes out this week on DVD. By the way, you can watch the film's trailer at http://www.memoriesofmurder.com

When I think of all the HANDSOME MEN mentioned here and recall to memory what they looked like, I could just PLOTZ at the mention of BRAD PITT! "THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE" said People Magazine. It could only be because all the others are dead!

It is interesting to note that these two beauties of the Silver Screen where born only four days apart. Vivien Leigh November 5, 1913 (Darjeeling, India) Hedy Lamarr November 9, 1913 (Vienna, Austria) Apparently, neither one of these two gals thought they where such a beauty! Lamarr complained that her breast where too small and her legs too skinny. Leigh complained that her neck was too long and her hands too big. Whenever possible, she wore gloves to hide her hands and to conceal her unruly hair, she wore wigs and hairpieces long before it was fashionable.

My favorite is George E. Stone - love his dimples!

For all the Kubrick fans, that would be great and I'd be in favor of that. I would, however, have my TV off that night. I have little appreciation for Kubrick, and even less upon hearing that he said that Sparticus was his "worst" movie. To me it was the only one worth watching. hehe Different strokes.

Indeed, thanks for posting it. I knew enough about Hammett to know that if he wrote something, it's good - but didn't know he was an ex-dick or anything else. Very interesting. I wonder if there's a bio on his life, I'm sure it would be interesting. I'm happy to hear people are discovered The Thin Man series, always a favorite of mine. Was Red Harvest made into a movie? It sounds very good. I know about Random Harvest, of course, and almost got confused - but recovered in time. hehe I'd love to see Red Harvest, IF it exists. Thanks. Katyscarlett

I'll answer with my very first thought when I read this topic - "Everything". :-) I am not including the wonderful Al Pacino (always) or Anthony Hopkins (sometimes) when I say that, however.

Thank you SO much Mongo - I have wondered that for decades - now I see why this thread exists. :-) Larry, I have written down all the titles you suggested - thanks. NOW - for anyone reading this - I have a question posted titled 'please explain' under this topic "information please". I'm beginning to think everyone is as dumb as I am about this and nobody knows the answer - OR I would have got some response - now if THAT doesn't get some responses - - - LOL Would someone please explain to me who killed who as asked in this question. Thanks.

I would like to add two Bob Hope movies to this list - "The Cat and the Canary" with Paulette Goddard, and "The Iron Petticoat" with Katharine Hepburn. Have never seen either film, and I know "The Ghost Breakers" is often shown. I have always wondered why the first Hope-Goddard pairing is so elusive. I just want to see "Petticoat" to judge if it is as bad as its reputation suggests.

Interesting question, keithfromkc, I took it for granted that lots of people would have read the book-Roald Dahl books are some of my sons favorites. Charlie & the Great Glass Elevator, The Twits, The Witches, The BFG & Charlie & the Chocolate Factory are all on our bookshelves & I read 'Chocolate Factory' when I was about 10. I agree about GODFATHER, but usually it goes the other way-- the book is almost always better than the movie, I think. My curiosity is starting to get the better of me-I might have to go see this in the theater. I would still recommend the book and its sequel for anyone who's really a purist, thats where the real story is.

JEAN ARTHUR

Eli Wallach accepted the role but had to turn it down because he agreed to appear in a Broadway production for Kazan, which made a scheduling problem. Sinatra also had to campaign for the part... Hope I am right! Tabitha

Hello fellow youngin! I am also very young, but grew up with old movies (thanks grandma)! I think all of the suggestions so far are great. I would start with the Oscar Winners, then branch off into their other roles. That is what I have done but with my movie collection. I see one film by one actress then do some research and try to watch as many of the other films....in the end I end up buying most of them. this is also a great place, as I have found out, to get feedback. People are talking about a different movie everyday...which might compel you to go out and rent the title ( if available) and add your two cents....I would also recommend some of the classic movie websites... Find an actor or actress that draws you in and expand from there- that is what I have done. Suggestions: Gone With The Wind- Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh The Thin Man- William Powell and Myrna Loy It Happened One Night- Claudette Colbert and Gable Since You Went Away- Claudette Colbert and Jennifer Jones You Can't Take It With You- Jean Arthur and Jimmy Stewart Alfred Hitchcock those are some of my favs! Have fun viewing! Tabitha

I totally agree with all of the replies so far. I also believe that the stars of yester-year had some kind of special chemistry when they appeared on the screen. They seemed to care about the character they were portraying and a lot of the movies that were made in that golden age had a message and a meaning. Today, the movies are made without a single thought about them...whatever makes the most money. Granted I am not a fan of movies today, the audiences have lost what it means when someone says "let's go to the movies." It is no longer to go and see a great performance or to see the famous actor or actress (most of the time), it is to see how much violence there is...or how little someone is wearing. My biggest disappointment is that movies today have left nothing to our imagination. Back then, our imagination was vivid, now audiences are dull. ( not everyone mind you) What can I say when I am not a fan of movies today....not much positive....there are however a very few actors and actresses that bring meaning to their work...Meryl Streep comes to mind. Well that is all I have to say about that....

No, but thanks for trying. Clue #3 Publicity stunt

The Smith family of "Meet Me in St. Louis."

A sense of style, on or off screen. On screen, it's the fault of the costume designers. Is there such a thing anymore, or do they ask the cast to just bring in their clothes from home? Off screen these people look just like any other Joe Schmo on the street, the street of a not-so-nice neighborhood I might add. I say they need to bring back glamour and elegance. Teens and young adults model themselves after these people, and they pay a fortune to dress like them in these horrible concoctions of overly exposed skin and painted on fabric.

I once (about 15 years ago)had the opportunity to model an original Judy Garland dress designed by Helen Rose in a show in Palm Springs. It was a black sequined bodice with long sleeves and a high neck, with a skirt made of chiffon squares hung by the corners giving a jagged appearance to the bottom of the skirt. My mother used the original as a pattern and made a sleeveless version for me. I would love to know which movie the original was worn in if anybody knows! Thanks!!

Wow, great answers. My list of invitees would be: Marlon Brando - of course he can share the bedroom (LOL) Paul Newman - if Brando can't make it than Paul can be int he bedroom Vivien Leigh - in the living room Bette Davis - in the kitchen - it would be interesting to see what food she'll prepare. Joan Crawford - maybe she can help Bette Davis in the kitchen James Cagney - in the attic - why not? Humphrey Bogart - in the basement - don't want Cagney and Bogart too close. James Stewart - in the living room with Vivien Leigh Clarke Gable - in the hallway - not too far from Vivien Leigh James Dean - in the bathroom - don't know why.

Hi there - welcome!!!! My suggestion is to start watching classic movies by viewing the "master" himself, Marlon Brando in "On The Waterfront". This is one of the greatest films ever made.
