I never realized what I was missing until I got a copy of the short history of film, probably a textbook. I couldn't put it down and now I am an avid foriegn film fanatic. Without subtitles I would not be able to enjoy such a rich variety of films past and current from around the world. I wish tcm would devote as least a day 24 hours to foriegn films with glorious subtitles!

Speaking of Spanish movies the local Walmart has started stocking Spanish movies from the 40's and 50's , but no English subtitles. It's a shame most English speaking movies have Spanish tracks. But I prefer subtitles because even if you don't understand the language the emotion still comes through. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Thanks I live out in the boonies and it is has been quite helpful to be a member of the forum. I've been collecting and watching movies since i got a betamax back in 1975 and never was lucky enough to have a friend with the same interest in movies that i do.I always thought i was alone in my interests but it seems there is a growing family in cyberspace. I just got a computor this year and as yet have refused having a cell phone.

What was the music piece that introduced Million Dollar Movie? What was the music piece that closed the TV channel (unk) the picture was of a city skyline and the lights in the windows went out one by one until the song ended. Then the station went off the air?

Many years ago (30) I saw a war movie that used planes that looked like P38's but the planes had duel cockpits insted of one cockpit in the middle.
I have no idea who played in it or the name. I do remember it was a very interesting movie. Someone said the plane could have been a P-87 or a
F-87. Would you please help me track down this movie? Thank you so much.

I definately think this generation should be introduced to the classics.
I started really watching classics about twelve years ago, however, I have a sister who is fifteen years younger then me and of course I got her into watching the classics as well. She also started with I Love Lucy, Happy Days and shows like the Brady Bunch when she was a little girl.(she still is a little girl in my eyes) These were the only shows I felt were wholesome enough to show her when she was younger and visiting me. Now she is fifteen and I have started to show her the John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart classics. Recently we started watching ALfred Hitchcock together. It is amazing and I love the time I get to spend with her. She really enjoys watching them. It seems watching old classics is 'our special thing' and I love when she gets to come visit me.
She does tell me that the friends she has her age don't watch the same shows but she did get her best girlfriend into watching them with her. Also, for christmas last year I got her some classics to start her own collection.

I'm pretty sure that "To Catch A Thief" (Cary Grant and Grace Kelly) and "Love Affair" (Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne" both have scenes that you're looking for.

I think widescreen is better because that's normally how the movie is originally shot.

Thanks so much moviejoe79! I don't know much about who is best to write autographs to. If you want someone's autograph, do you send them a picture or will they send you something signed? Thank you so much!
-

therealfuster- Yes, that was the one. Thank you soo much!
I really appreciate the help =-)
Thankyou again,

Thank you so much...are these scenes that display the vistas while driving, though?
-
Do you happen to remember the car that's being driven?
-
I am working for a magazine this summer and have been assigned to look for classic movies in which there are driving scenes that display European scenery along the way. Could anyone who is more familiar with classics help me out? Anything you can think of would be an enormous help and greatly appreciated. Please e-mail me at vlowe@mail.colgate.edu - thanks so much.

They actually showed this last night at around 7:30. I read this post yesterday and wished I could record the short. Well, last night I decided to record the movie at 6:00. I forgot about it and let it run a little later than I was supposed to. After I watched the movie, I saw that I had recorded 100 YEARS OF CINEMA. I am so happy that I did that. I hope you saw it last night too.

Hi, I have been trying to identify a film I watched with my Mom on TV in the 1960's. I was a young girl then. I think it might be the movie "Flight from Ashiya" and was wondering if you might be able to help me. The following is some of my notes about the movie, perhaps you could confirm or rule out anything you might remember:
I had thought the actors were Charleton Heston and Carroll Baker. But am thinking not, now after years of searching their movie lists/plotlines. It could very well have been Richard Widmark and Shirley Knight in the parts I most remember. The movie I am trying to identify took place during WWII in the Philipines. The hero met and fell in love with a blonde during wartime. I'm pretty sure they got married. I think he was in the army, maybe a pilot or a doctor in the military. I seem to recall him going on some kind of flying mission later in the movie. He might be just remembering his relationship with the blonde in flashbacks. They are taken prisoner by the Japanese and she ends up dying in the POW camp. The camp is comprised of bamboo and palm huts and is in the jungle. She is very ill and needs medicine. The hero begs the Japanese commander of the POW camp for the medicine to save her. But he does not give it and she dies. Her name was either Caroline or Carolyn and she was a blonde. I thought he called her Lynn as a nickname. I think they may have met at a bar in Manila. I watched this movie with my mother, but she was never able to remember it as clearly as I did and couldn't offer any help on naming it, and she has since passed away anyway, so I can't quiz her any more. Does any of this sound like it might be this movie "Flight from Ashiya"? Every time I come close to finally identifying it, there is always some proof that whatever movie I think it might be is not the movie I am looking for. By the way, I saw it on TV not at the theater. It was a major movie on tv, like the Monday night movie on one of the major networks, we only had ABC, CBS, and NBC then and it was not on PBS, and not on the late show. I think it may have been in black and white because I can remember asking my Mom what color khaki was. I also may remember it being in color, especially the jungle scenes though, so don't take the b&w thing as verbatim. The main point that I know for sure is that they were prisoners of some asian enemy and she is sick and dies because the asian commander won't give her the medicine. It has to have been 1970 or before because I'm pretty sure I was not yet a teenager, and I was born in 1958.
Any other details you might remember would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance for anything you might be able to offer!
Please email me, although I will try to check back here on TCM from time to time.

I have been dealing with Roslyn Herman for 15 years. In this time I have acquired a collection of very fine movie artifacts including rare personal items as well as studio worn clothes. Each with impeccable letters of authenticity. I have always found her to be honest in her descriptions and one of the most devoted and caring persons in this field. She has in many cases been able to supply me with photos of the stars wearing the items I purchased. Thanks to Roslyn Herman I have amassed a fabulous collection of authentic items that give me great pride and joy.

William Powell and Myrna Loy. They did something like 13 movies together, including the classis "Thin Man" movies
Why More Subtitled Movies?

Ihave been known to do the same thing, have the TV on and just listen while I'm busy doing other things. Like you I wasn't too fond of the Mexican Cinema that was done on Thursday evening during the month of May, not because I wanted to do other things but I really didn't want to sit there reading subtitles all evening, but not everything TCM does meets with my approval, as I have said in other post, this is a network for everybody, no matter what your film taste maybe. So when they are airing something I don't particularly like, such as foregin films, silent films, war movies or action pictures I will do something else instead of watching. After all just because I don't like these types of movies doesn't mean that there aren't those out there who do.
