ARM IN ARM DOWN THE STREET

I have very little complains about TCM, although I am not all that fond of the advertisement for the wines, but that's just about it.

Seen all of them.
889 is a hoot.
883 and 884 are my favorites of the bunch.
Been awhile since I saw 881, but I remember enjoying it very much.
887 and 888 are not my cup of tea however.

I liked Matthau and Jackson in House Calls a lot better.
Agreed. Of the pair of films they did together, HOUSE CALLS was a better made and far funnier film.

when i first saw the movie i was a very young man ... didn't consider the politics at all ... nor the true nature of stroud ... believe lancaster gave a very good performance ...
No argument from me that Lancaster was terrific in the role, and I do cut the film some slack because at the time of the release of the film nobody outside the prison walls was really aware of Stroud's true nature.
Lancaster might have walked away with his second Oscar that year had he not been nominated alongside Gregory Peck for TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. I have to say though that Peck more than deserved to win. Burt had already won 2 years earlier for ELMER GANTRY anyway.

Great movie, but in real life it would have been asking for trouble to have ever released the real Robert Stroud.
On a program on the prison system of Leavenworth it was quoted by someone who did a great deal of research on him that when Stroud was asked why he should be released it was because he still had many people to kill and very little time to do it in.
I don't know 100 percent fact if he actually did say this, but there is enough merit, beyond a doubt, that he was indeed a remorseless sociopath. He wasn't put and kept in solitary confinement for most of his life for no reason.

I always thought it was custer.
LOL you are right....my apologies to the late General Custer.

I also enjoyed Richard Mulligan in SOAP. He was also quite good in EMPTY NEST.
I'm sort of indifferent to his portrayal of Custard in LITTLE BIG MAN. I don't hate his performance but it did seem like he was deliberately overdoing it which I can understand would be a turn-off to some. Doesn't prevent me from enjoying the film however.

Noir featuring Kirk Douglas
THE STRANGE LOVE OF MARTHA IVERS with Barbara Stanwyck
OUT OF THE PAST with Robert Mitchum
Awesome pair of flicks. Especially looking forward to OUT OF THE PAST.
Kirk and Robert Mitchum worked so well together. Throw in Jane Greer and you have a dynamite star combination resulting in a great film.

CLASH OF THE TITANS (80'S version)
-
Seen all except 871 and 875.
876 is definitely a classic, and Gregory Peck more than earned his Oscar.
874 is quite watchable, even if it is weird to see Brando in this kind of film. Still did a good job though.
Think 873 might be POSSESSED though. I really like that one as well.
879 is either HOPSCOTCH or HOUSE CALLS....hard to tell and my memory isn't all that sharp. Did see HOUSE CALLS but it's been awhile.
880.....eh, not a big Hugh Grant fan.

Performances of Limited Screen Time That Still Have A Jolting Impact
in General Discussions

Having recently seen THE NAKED GUN: FROM THE FILES OF POLICE SQUAD, John Houseman was a gem in his brief role as a driving instructor whose car gets hijacked by the bumbling Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) chasing after some bad guys.
Houseman was so dry, that's what made it all the more funnier. His instructing his driving pupil how to flip somebody the bird is absolutely hilarious.
