*Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues - Danny O'Keefe**Lean on Me - Bill Withers**I'll Take You There - The Staple Singers**Cher - Gypsies Tramps and Thieves (but I bought it for the B side, He'll Never Know)**Alone Again Naturally - Gilbert O' Sullivan**Everybody Plays the Fool - The Main Ingredient**Brand New Key - Melanie**I Can See Clearly Now - Johnny Nash**Black and White - Three Dog Night*
I have 6 of those and many more. I still have all my 45s and a turntable as well. I have a few from the mid 60s. Beatles and Monkees but most of mine are from the eary 70s. Bread, Badfinger, Nilsson, most of The Beatles solo 45s and some other odds and ends. I have bought many again on itunes and still enjoy them. -
This is why a lot of guys listened to Herb Alpert.

I'll admit it has been some time since I've seen "Cordura." Encore Westerns shows it often but I don't really want to see it in Pan/Scan. I didn't like the overall picture but I don't remember much about Cooper's performance though.
I get where "York" can come off overly "preachy." The conversion at the church is sudden and I can see where it is either uncomfortable as I don't think they happen like that too often. I do like the discussion of his beliefs with the captain and I think the captain treats him well and respects his wishes, which I guess he must do, if he hopes to change York's mind.
Do I remember that you liked "Return To Paradise"? I know we talked about it and as far as I remember it hasn't been on TV since then.
This has all been an interesting read,

Justin Hayward has a new album. One selection is a reworking of a tune from his last solo album. Here is the original.
"Broken Dream"
-
Glad you saw "Jubal." You mentioned Bronson and even though it is early in his career it shows a different side then we came to know. (This also comes in several episodes of "Have Gun, Will Travel.")
Ford really respects Shep for giving him a chance and he doesn't really want to spoil it. I also like the way Shep respects Jubal when he asks him for advice about how to treat a lady and even with giving a sheep farmer a chance. Too bad it didn't last but then you wouldn't have much of a story.
As far as the weather goes it only rained in my area. That didn't stop everything from shutting down though. Go an hour west and they had a foot of snow.

A shopping spree for knowing a song title!!!! I won a t-shirt once because I knew the last names of the Three Stooges.
"High Country Snow" is the one album I could never get into. Sorry, not a blugrass fan. I think "Phoenix" is a grand album. I love to play "Believe In Me" on the piano. I have several music books of his songs. They are quite tuneful and fun to play. When I practice some I can do a pretty good version of "Nexus" from "The Innocent Age."
Favorite uptempo song may well be "Empty Cages" from "The Innocent Age" or "Hurtwood Alley" from "Twin Sons."
Hearts and Crafts
-
One that gets me is "Hearts and Crafts." It was a B side of a 45 that wound up later on an album. Lots of streaking on the guitar strings but it's a lovely song.
Saddest song of all - "Windows and Walls."
-
Many wonderful songs on "Home Free." "To The Morning" and "Wysteria" are my favorites there.I think my favorite aobum is either "Nether Lands" or "The Innocent Age." A wide variety of music is showcased on both albums.
I always thought that "The Last Nail" was a sad one, hence one of my favorites. Sorry to make you cry.

Check the "Off Topic: Favorite Music" thread.
No more interruptions.

Favorite from "Captured Angel."

*Burr is in a Marx Bros. movie? I really have to see this again!*
And Robert Mitchum is in a Laurel and Hardy film. (The Dancing Masters.)

We can talk Fogelberg somewhere.

I guess based on their reputation and my preferences I am a little surprised that "York" and "Friendly Persuasion" and "Deeds" were so low. I get they would be middling on the list but they seem very low.
I find "Codura" terminally dull. Most things I've read about it don't rank near as high as you. "Springfield Riflle" and "Dallas" are middle of the pack but more about what comes later on your list.
It's been some time since I've seen some of these pictures so I need to get on board.
One I saw in the last year or so was "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife." Copper and Claudette Colbert star and I thought it was kind of fun but from what I've read elsewhere I seem to be in the minority.

"Court Martial" is a rather dry titile but it leaves little doubt as to its subject. I have to suspend my belief a little on "Love In The Afternoon" because of the age difference but otherwise like the film.
In that film the song "Fascination" is played and was a popular hit at the time. As a youngster I was introduced to the tune by way of Allan Sherman's parody "Automation." I laughed when I heard it on film the first time because I was singing the wrong set of lyrics. (Skip the first 20 seconds.)
I'm a little surprised at some of your rankings compared to mine but that makes for grand discussions. And anytime I'm going along the same lines as The Divine Miss G then I figure I must be doing something right.
-
I have but it's been so long I couldn't tell you anything about it. Thanks for the heads up.
-
I've only seen 55 but very few of those early 30's and virtually nothing earlier except for "Wings."
I guess my upper ranking is:
"Mr. Deeds Goes To Town"
"The Hanging Tree"
"High Noon"
"Friendly Persuasion"
"Meet John Doe"
"Love In The Afternoon"
"The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell"
"Vera Cruz"
"Along Came Jones"
"The Plainsman"
"Bengal Lancer"

Mae gave Shep no reason to trust her. She was looking to get out of where she was living and not in the relationship for love. Shep didn't or wouldn't see it.
I've always thought in life if you can trust your mate then what anyone else does doesn't matter. But for Shep his own insecurities and lack of trust of a man who was grateful for saving him wasn't enough. The only thing that might have been different if it had been life would be whether Jubal tells Shep what is going on. (At least I don't remember that he did other than the fateful saloon fight.)

Oh, the things jealousy will do to a man.

Your stills from "Love Happy" points out what I find wrong with it. Jokes that don't go anywhere or have no real punch line. It was unfortunate enough that Groucho didn't appear with the brothers but his stuff feels so "dropped in" to me. "A Night In Casablanca" is much better late Marxes.
Seeing the boys in anything is good but it could have been so much better.
"Without Love" is an odd film for me. Some fun stuff but the premise is off the wall. Still Tracy and Hepburn in anything (well maybe not "The Sea of Grass" so much) is always a treat. I like them best in "Adam's Rib." "State of The Union" is a good one too.

It is great t obe able to watch "Duck Soup" now. When I came to movies and to the Marx Brothers "Duck Soup" was in rights hell. Nobody had seen it in years. There was no idea when it would come out. The only thing I could get out of it was the book "Why A Duck?" which took stills of their films and printed the dialogue as a caption. ("Animal Crackers" was also out of sight and the author managed to devote an entire book to that film. "Hooray For Captain Spalding.")
In my senior high school class will someone left me a wish for screening of it. So, when it turned up on TV some years later that was a huge treat. That is about the only wish that came true out of high school. (There was The Bride but that is a different and later story.)

I've had a similar problem with not being able to record on TCM SD but could on TCM HD. I have Comcast and they sure don't have a clue as to why I can't record, never mind why one and not the other.
Good luck.

*And speaking of that, Frank, I am so glad you said you were missing the Marx Brothers! That's the greatest thing in the world to me, because so much of the fun of these great comedies is going back to them over time. I feel the same about Laurel and Hardy and Chaplin and Keaton, and to some extent Hope and Crosby and Abbott and Costello. I really do miss them when I haven't had a dose for a while.*
I get that way too. One of the things I leave and come back to is classical music. Sometimes I'll go months and not listen to it but when I get back to it I am surprised I let it get away. But I have to sit and listen to it. It's too long to play in the car so it gets away.
Like you I have those same things with the Marxes, L&H and Keaton. They are all familiar enough but it is nice to come back and visit. At times there is a nostalgia about them.

Other Flynn film I enjoyed include:
The Charge of The Light Brigade.
The Sea Hawk
Objective Burma
He makes a pretty good western hero too.
I think "Three Came Home" is one of Colbert's finest performances. Another good Colbert performance is "Since You Went Away." Well, that is in keeping with out WWII theme.

I've seen 19.
A bunch of them have been a long time ago. One I really liked and was surprised about was "The Killer Is Loose." Pretty tense and compact.
"Boomerang," Term of Trial," "Rebel Without A Cause" are among the best. I like "As Young As You Feel." "Prisoner Of Zenda" is pretty good but I think Ronald Colman is terrific anyway. Didn't care much for "Legend Of The Lost" but all the others are pretty much good viewing.
