I agree with the Philadelphia Story, as one of my favorite endings. It's just so happy "and we will go ahead with it Beautifully, as it was so Beautifully planned" Another favorite is Arsenic and Old Lace-- just because the ?s the whole movie goes on you have this taxi driver waiting outside. Chaos all around, and still the taxi driver waits. Finally everything resolves and Still he'S waiting... Cary Grant and just found out he's not insane--yet delivers the line: "Elaine, Elaine, Where are you? Can you hear me? I'm not really a Brewster. I'm a son of a sea cook!" and the cab driver, finally driven insane from all this, goes: "and Im not a cab driver. I'm a coffee pot!" but i think all time favorite, is You Can't take it with you, When they all start singing and playing pollywolly doodle. The final resolve of whether or not James Stewart WILL marry Jean Arthur, is put into smiles nods and hugs...and its all VERY happy

I have seen this movie a few years ago and cannot remember the name of the movie or any of the actors. The movie is a black and white movie. I think it takes place in America. It is about a woman and her Irish family and a rich family that she is working for as a maid/chaperone for this families daughters. Her family works at the rich families mine or factory. The rich family has a son also. Him and the girl fall in love. The rich family also owns a dress shop. Eventually the dress shop becomes the Irish girls, later on in the movie. The Irish girls father ends up dying from an accident at the mine or factory. The Irish girl ends up being mad at the man she loves, because his family didn't make the mine or facory safe. The Irish girls father was also the head of the Union for the mine or factory. The rich boy marries someone he does not love. I guess years down the road his mother dies and the rich boy and his wife end up splitting up and the movie at the end leaves you to believe the Irish girl and him get together. The Irish girl was not treated like a maid. The family really liked her. I also think she has brothers. This movie is not "How Green was my Valley." I thought is was, but then I watched it and it is not. I hope you can help me. I would like to see this movie again if I can ever figure out what the name of it is. Thank You

Yup, you got it! I JUST LOVE THE MARX BROTHERS.

I forgot. That last one was clue #2.

Sorry, no. There are 2 spies.

RIGHT NOW (AND HAS BEEN FOR A WHILE): Actresses:Lauren Bacall Marilyn Monroe Bette Davis Sophia Loren Actors:Humphrey Bogart John Wayne Jack Lemmon I haven't seen a whole movie with Spencer Tracey and Katharine Hepburn but I think they seem to have great chemistry,they are gorgeous. By the way:Hi all!

Ooops hi again I made a lot of spelling mistakes but I can't find an edit button.

Hi,can anyone please help me? There's a movie I've seen bits of on CM in Europe,Sweden. There is a guy who looks a bit like Dean Martin who travel to Italy for business I suppose. And then he meets someone called Nina and they are supposed to marry but he's actually in love with the oldest sister Maria. (They are like 4 sisters and the american,the Dean Martin look-a-like and his business partners all falls for 1 of the (italian) girls...) PLEASE does anyone know the movie title?

anybody know when diner and/or midnight cowboy will be on TCM ever again?? or any other channel?? diner? mid. cowboy? on tv?? anybody??

I've never played this game before, but here goes. Quote: He may LOOK like an idiot and TALK like an idiot, but don't let that fool you ....................................... HE REALLY IS AN IDIOT!

I'm trying to determine the name of a movie made no later than the early 1960's in which a man winds up stranded on a beach. As the tide comes in, he is forced to retreat under a cliff that overhangs the beach. When he gets there, he sees a vertical shaft leading upward. He begins climbing up the shaft with his back pressed against one side and his feet pushed against the other. The camera angle changes occasionally to provide a view of him from above. I think when he finally reaches the top he finds some kind of Utopian society there. I thought for years maybe this movie was Lost Horizon, but when I finally saw the 1937 original I found out that wasn't it. If anyone knows what this movie is, please let me know! Thanks.

So other MGM movies have been shown on TCM.

Thanks for answering, Mongo. I will try "If A Man Answers" and see if its what I'm looking for.

I absolutely loved the ending to The Philadelphia Story. Nothing extravagent happened, but it was great seeing Hepburn and Grant's characters walking down the aisle once more.

Favorite on-screen kiss - Gregory Peck and Jennifer Jones's last kiss in Duel in the Sun Most romantic leading lady - Ingrid Bergman Most romantic leading man - Clark Gable Most romantic scene on film - In It Happened One Night, Clark Gable gives Claudette Colbert his jacket while they are preparing for sleep in the hay stacks. He leans in real close as if he's ready to kiss her, looking deeply into her eyes, but then becomes scared and moves away. The scene ends with a close-up of Colbert tearing and her iris.

I'm with you. Give ne THE GOOD OLD DAYS when people were treated with RESPECT !!!!!!

Loved LAURA. Anyone like DETOUR ?????

That is great news! I will finally be able to get rid of my crummy old VHF copy:-)

Don't know where my 'y's went on my two uses of every. I looked at that and realized that looks pretty stupid. I guess I get excited - I love this stuff!

Another great list. Hey! You're not hijacking the thread with your neo-noir films. I agree on all but - surprisingly - Pulp Fiction. I know, I know. I get razzed about it all the time, but for me, it was just too much. The scene in the car and Samuel Jackson has brain tissue in his hair - that was just too much. I think what I liked about the old films is the 'take me to the edge, but don't push me over' filmmaking. I miss that. I know I'm in a minority with Pulp Fiction, but.....Oh.....Double Indemnity was a great film that, as you said, had that nice quick rapid dialogue. That's why I like The Big Sleep so much. It certainly wasn't the plot! It was the perfectly crafted dialogue in each and ever scene where ever scene was a work of art on its own.

That is incredible! Are you going to tell me you got to go to that???? What a lineup of films. Only in New York!

I've read a lot of the posts in this thread, but not all, so it may have already been mentioned. But, one of the great TV pioneers who started out on radio is Jack Webb. Webb, of course, brought us Dragnet first on radio - as well as Pete Kelly's Blues, Jeff Regan Private Investigator and even - The Jack Webb Show. Old Time Radio is a great way to pass the time on road trips. I love it!

Somebody meantioned LAURA coming out on DVD. I have already pre-ordered my copy and I can't wait! If you aren't familiar with LAURA read some of the reviews and check it out at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00008LDNZ Great film noir from '44 !!

Good stuff! You mentioned Veronica Lake (thump, thump, thump).....she was so beautiful, so talented and such a sad, sad ending. I only wish her other two fims with Alan Ladd were on DVD. I haven't seen either of those in years. This Gun For Hire was a great film - love it! Black Angel - one of my favorites as well. Wouldn't you love to see back-to-back classic noir films over a weekend on TCM? Something I wish I could do more of is see these great films on the big screen. I saw Psycho on the biggie not long ago - that wasn't so old, but it was still great fun. I had only seen it on television. I have always said I would LOVE to see Veronica Lake at the theater!
