There is an email reminder at the bottom of the expanded view of a movie on the schedule.
-
Just off of your guesses it might be "The Happy Years." It is from 1950 and stars Dean Stockwell. It is set in a boy's school but my reference doesn't give any info about the fighting.
-
I have the CD with Bob James and Earl Klugh called "Cool."
The closest I could find was this Bob James live recording.
-
You're right. I had forgotten.
Is the word "reply" sitting over another icon or is that the old reply icon? I can't tell. I do see the "report abuse" triangle but it is no bigger than anything else.
-
On first glance the schedule is smaller, harder to read and I miss the little icons telling me the genre.
Someone asked about seeing the next month's schedule. At the head of the schedule there is a block showing today's date. There is a little arrow next to it. Click on it and you get the month's calendar and can click on a date or see another arrow to carry you to the next month.
I was comfortable with the old format but complaining won't do any good.
At least I can find my way around the message boards.
-
I hadn't either but it gives it 3 1/2 stars so it must be pretty good. It is LaCava's last film according to the book.
-
Okay now you're going to make go watch it again.
I think they were on opposite sides in the war and Wills was scalping him either for a souvenir or just a way to kill him.
I did think Keith intended to kill him all along it was just a matter of when.
-
According to the write up in my little book it must be a musical. It gives it a good review and mentions it has one of Gene's "most brilliant dance numbers on a construction site." It might be a little bit of everything,
-
I think Keith was waiting for something to happen that he would get Wills later. He must have been waiting on them to get gold or something and figured he would be more help than hindrance until they found whatever it was and then....
It makes sense that Keith would have insisted on Sam. I wonder if Maureen knew him. He only had some television work under his belt so he may have come cheap. Andrew McLaglen seems more her speed. That though would have given the film a whole different feel.
*MissG*: I guess I'll have to dig out Maureen's book. I don't remember having that sense of the book and I don't remember anything about the film. (It's beginning to bother me.)
-
Excellent list. "Drive My Car" was right close to the top. I like the "White Album" version of "Revolution" better than the single but they are both good.
-
I've never been a big fan of "Twist and Shout." It is more the song than the recording. For early stuff I lean more to Lennon's work but "And I Love Her" and "She's A Woman" are, among others, early McCartney favorites.
No disagreement on the rest.
-
I'm with you on everything but the music. It annoyed me. I missed it was her production company but I did catch her brothers involvement. I think her brother even co-wrote the title song.
We may have chatted about it in "Women of The West"?
-
What a wide ranging list. "Revolution" and "Do You Want To Know A Secret." Honorable mention for "Baby You're A Rich Man."

and the aforementioned "Strawberry Fields Forever."
It is hard to pick 10.

I must be old. I haven't heard of any of those people.
More my speed.

There have been several other threads about this and TCM does broadcast in an "upconverted" signal but falls short of a true HD broadcast.
To my knowledge there have been no dates to change.

Interesting list. You did put a lot of work into it. A long discussion is waiting if we get into the "why" of your choices.
I haven't seen most of the more recent pictures. For my taste "Mrs. Miniver" and "Random Harvest" are almost interchangeable for an award. There are a couple of others to quibble about but overall it is an interesting idea.
"Gran Torino" I liked but I didn't see anything else from that year to argue about. The one thing I thought funny about the film was the smoking disclaimer that ran in the end credits. It seemed long and rather apologetic. Do they run cocaine disclaimers at the end of movies that feature use of that substance?

Maybe he is referring to the library they have exclusive contract to show at any given time.

>Is that what you guys call the Club?
No. I just made it up.
I hope your employment situation gets better. That must be a great strain on you. I hope we are a pleasant distraction.

Welcome to the Four Figure Club Rey. It's nice you seem more active lately. There is lots to learn from you.,
-
This ought to be good.
-
I'm due to revisit "Ride The High Country" and though I really like McCrea and Scott the film has never bowled me over more than a typical western story with two great actors. That may be enough for its high regard but I always feel I've missed something when people speak so highly of it. I don't dislike it I must have missed something.
-
I can see leaving out Billingsley, Bosley and Nelson. They made their fortune in television and I don't think they quite fit into this venue.
-
I can only imagine that "Smile" was used to be an encouragement to the people. It is an odd choice, no matter how good the song is, as a selection to mourn those people noted for their passing. I certainly would have found something else. An appropriate mood piece played by the orchestra would have been sufficient for me.
-
I don't watch them because they are often boring and already too long.
Rey, with all the stunt people in even one film could they narrow it down or would you limit it to stunt coordinators?
I think Cinemaven mentioned the lit of 10 nominees for Best Picture. I don't go to the movies much but I think if you had a situation where you would have not less than five it might work for giving enough competition but allow for years when maybe there are enough to carry off a bigger list. I don't know if there were 10 films worthy of it but sooner or later.....

Sir Francis:
You've been doing some listening. Out of your 40 there are only three or four I would not have included on mine. Some rearranging is in order on my list but when you dig up "All I've Got To Do" and "It's All Too Much" and a few album cuts it makes for a fine list.
