The first one that came to me and never leaves me without wanting to cry is "the scene" from Of Mice and Men - if you've seen it, you know which one I'm talking about. When George says "goodbye" to Lenny. :-( I almost wish I'd never seen it - but it's beautiful as well.
-
Thanks Larry - I have been meaning to read Mongo's thread but want to have the time to read it all - so will try soon. I haven't been to the Japanese Gardens recently either - haven't even thought about it but an excellent idea. It is beautiful - and serene and tranquil. :-)

Reading the first few days, I was ready to be upset at all the repeats and IMO not such a good schedule - ya I know, you can't please everyone - but upon further reading, there's some good stuff in there. Thanks programmer. Some stuff needs updated, IMO, like enough of Splendor in the Grass, for instance - even though I like the movie - some movies are getting way too much air time. Also, in showing Herman's Hermits, you might as well do what one writer is forever harping on and show the Osmonds - NOT! But enough of the bad and on with the good stuff - again IMO.
I like all the horror shows in October, also nice to see some Hitchcock that hasn't been played in awhile (now all you have to do is give us a little rest from the ones that you show EVERY month), and really nice to see so much Peter Lorre. Now find more - hehe.
A good time should be had by all - - er, most. :-)
-
Actually, never mind my daughter - I think Cagney is sexy!
-
However much it is, I'm sure it's too much.

Thanks ally and johnny for restoring my faith. hehe

PLEASE please tell me it ain't so! Please! Being that I love Bogie so much and like Sinatra not at all - and I'm being kind - I was so unimpressed when I heard that Lauren had had an affair with Sinatra. Please tell me it wasn't when Bogart was still alive. Yes, I AM really upset to hear this. Really upset.
I suppose I do take my classic movie actors/actresses too seriously - but they are like my "friends". They've always been with me - through thick and thin - and - - - well, I'll betcha some of you know what I mean.
-
- - - anything starring Tony Curtis or Burt Lancaster? Or maybe I should say anything "good" - I suppose I have seen a film or 2 since Christmas. Sex and the Single Girl? Come on - let's have some of Tony and Burt's best stuff - God knows there is a lot of it! Or is this another "someone else owns it" issue?
-
Without reading this whole thread again - I think I may have mentioned that my daughter thinks Edward G. is very sexy - whatcha think? hehehehe

Thanks so much for the answers given here. First, it's nice - very nice - to know that the TCM programers really give a darn about what we have to say. Thanks for that. :-) Also some other good explanations - I've really wondered a lot about this myself - did get a good explanation of Fox movies - but didn't really understand the whole ball of wax until reading this.
Yes, it would be Leave Her to Heaven, a great FOX movie that I just watched this weekend. :-) At least I sure can't think of another one starring all three of these actors. I don't know about other libraries - I'm in Canada - but our local library has a wonderful selection of classic movies. They concentrate on classics so as not to interfere with the video stores. Right now, I'm bringing home FOX movies that I can't find any other way and watching or videotaping them. Cheesy, I know, but it'll have to do until some of these are released in DVD or I can record them myself. :-) Watched a lot of Gene Tierney this weekend. hehe
-
I missed it again! And I knew it was on but thought I'd be home in time to catch it. Darnit!
For everyone who constantly complains about the repeats - let me say, I'm really glad they do repeat stuff on TCM - I agree it shouldn't be every month - but sometimes I'm really grateful!
-
I am SO glad you wrote in about this - I hadn't yet decided whether or not to tape it to watch the next day. I so much appreciate the feed-back. Now I will tape it for sure.
-
Hi Jasmine! Welcome! I am fairly new too, and so glad I found these boards - now they can't shut me up. lol It's so wonderful to be able to talk about my obsession - classic movies - cuz other than my mother, there is no one around here to talk to about them. :-)
Interesting question about glasses - very interesting, IMO. Maybe the reason they never had anyone wearing glasses is cuz a lot of people are shallow - like me hehe. I have never in my life been 'attracted' to anyone wearing glasses. Not saying I never dated anyone who wore them - but I've never initially found anyone sexually appealing who wore glasses. And we all know that physical appeal is one thing that sells movies. Just my opinion.
-
Yeah, I know this is really a stretch - but I noticed someone else asked about your favorite Bogart movie so if it can be done with Bogie - - - - lol
I have been having a ball today - have waited for today since the schedule was posted for August! Love Cagney and everything he touched. Love all the "usuals" - Angels with Dirty Faces (always cry at the end), White Heat, Yankee Doodle Dandy etc. - and I always figure one of those "has to" be my favorite - but you know, every time I see Each Dawn I Die, I just know that it really IS my favorite. Could it be because I truly love George Raft as well? I think that has something to do with it - but isn't the entire reason. I also really love The Strawberry Blonde - one of the best movies ever, IMO.

I wish y'all good luck in trying to get autographs. I would try to get a few, too, but I know that I am a very compulsive person and I'd be at E-Bay all the time buying items - so it's just easier not to start. lol
I used to work for a country music magazine and have MANY autographs that mean a lot to me so I sure hope you get what you're after. :-)
The only person whose autograph I'd love to get who is still alive and kicking - thank God - is Stephen King. That would mean the world to me. :-) Since this is a movie site I will say that I don't watch many of his movies - they are rarely as good as his books - but I read him ALL the time. :-)
-
The one he never made ??? :-)
-
Robert Osbourne he ain't!!
-
Obviously - Casablanca.
-
Gotta agree with hershon2000 who said Peter Lorre. I saddens me that we don't see much more of his work than we do. He had tons of movies.
-
Thanks so much everyone for all the info. Yes, maybe I'd be better off renting or buying what I like and not getting the movie channel. :-)
-
One of my favorites. Love 'The Strawberry Blonde' and sure wish they would play it soon. Rita, Olivia, Jack Carson and Cagney. Lots of fun.
-
Fantastic idea! I think the programmers keep an eye on this message board so I wouldn't be surprised if you've already "proposed" it. :-)
-
Some great ones already mentioned. One I would LOVE to see again is Lost Horizon.
-
Hmmmmm - I found Marilyn to be very sexy, not sleazy. But - found Marlene Dietrich sleazy, not sexy. I like her much better in her "unsexy" roles.

I should likely shut up while I'm ahead but upon reading the rest of this thread, I have to say that the movie that was the biggest disappointment in my life was Cabaret. I had heard all these "good things" about it for years and figured it had to be a great movie. What a piece of junk I thought it was and what a disappointment. Grant it I don't like Liza in the first place - but I do like Joel Gray - this movie just was nothing like I expected it to be. Maybe you have to be more intellectual than I am, though I think I'm pretty educated. Of course, I don't like Tennesee Williams, either, I see nothing good about him or his horrible movies. Obviously, with the actors he got to do his movies, I am definitely not seeing something in him that many others do. Just not my cup of tea, I guess.
