Frankly, I never found Jean harlow to be that sexy. I won't call her the least sexiest, but just overrated.

I have seen all but two on this list (I can't find Miracle of Morgan's Creek or The Navigator around where I would normally look.) But my top 10 for the list would be: 1. Annie Hall 2. Dr. Strangelove 3. The Producers 4. Modern Times 5. The Odd Couple 6. It Happened One Night 7. To Be Or Not To Be 8. Some Like It Hot 9. Duck Soup 10. The Apartment (More comedy-drama, but its on the comedies list)

Well, first I'd have to say that *WOODY ALLEN is my favorite. His jokes never fail to crack me up, no matter how often I hear them. Second, I will have to say *CHARLIE CHAPLIN, a pure cinematic genius. Third would have to be The Marx Brothers. They have an amazing flair for anarchy and hilarity and play off each other's trademarks perfectly. Fourth is a tie between *ALEC GUINNESS and Peter Sellers in their great British comedies. Their abilties to morph into whatever role they play are fantastic. Fifth is *JACK LEMMON and *WALTER MATTHAU as comedy pair in such great movies as The Fortune Cookie and The Odd Couple. Honorable mention goes to the following: Buster Keaton, Jack Benny, Sig Ruman, Monty Python, *MEL BROOKS, Gene Wilder, Zero Mostel, Cary Grant, and Harold Lloyd.

well, I found a list of films that are featured in this short, not in order at which they appear but chronologically at http://us.imdb.com/Mlinks?0179624 The scene with Sally Field holding a sign that says union is from "Norma Rae"

I believe one Chaplin is "Kids Auto Races"

Well, I believe they had the scene from "All That Jazz" on a monthly promo not because they were showing the film, but because they were showing the documentary, "A Personal Journey with Martin Scorcese Through American Movies." I'm not sure if I'm correct in this assumption because that promo was for January and you wrote your message in March, but I remember seeing a clip from "ATJ" in the Jan. promo when they were not showing the movie, but the documentary featuring clips of the movie. Well, this may be wishful thinking, but with the success of "Chicago," people may realize a Bob Fosse DVD collection will make money.

Did you also notice the police car had no rear-view mirror? This is a common blooper in movies, i guess it might be contributed to artistic license considering it gets in the way of the camera.

well, I don't really remember TNT that well, but I was glad and shocked to see that they played "Gone With the Wind" on this past Super Bowl Sunday.

well, im glad to see that Harold Lloyd is April's star of the month. I would like to see Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton too. Also, Alec Guinness and Jack Lemmon would be great. A spotlight on the movies of Billy Wilder would be spectacular.

I happen to dislike much of the "Movie News," but not the point of hurling my TV out of the window. I like the books, DVDs (Last month's at least, not this Spy Kids 2 stuff), and a little of the theatre. I am also glad that they haven't decided to advertise the movies that are of no interest to fans of clasic movies (i.e. Adam Sandler movies or other crapstravaganzas), but movies that have a link to the past (i.e. Roman Polanski and how could they not advertise Ted Turner). I do wish they would show it less and show the 100 years of movies, trailers, word of mouth, etc.

I do have a few blanks to be filled in from cj's message: First, the Woody Allen clips are from "Play It Again, Sam," not "Annie Hall." Next, after "The Exorcist" is the "Rocky Horror Picture Show." And in the montage from the '80s, somewhere around "Tootsie" is "Witness," where you see a close-up of Harrison Ford smiling and then a woman smiling. After "Saturday Night Fever" is "Airplane". I love all those clips and just as somewhat useless information, in the Flash version of the schedule, the "What's on now" box with a picture of the movie shows when the short is played. It has the scene from "The Great Train Robbery" with the man pointing a gun at the screen.

Well, I don't think anyone has mentioned him yet, but Sig Rumann (I might have spelled it wrong) was great in his many comic roles. He was in a lot of Ernst Lubitsch films ("Ninotchka," "To Be Or Not To Be," and "The Shop Around the Corner" to name a few) and I also thought he was great as Commander Schultz in Billy Wilder's "Stalag 17."
