I'll be honest, I think DALLAS was the only thing I ever saw Jim Davis in, I didn't even know he had a movie career until I saw the E! TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY about the series.

Sanctioning the mass murder of humans on an “industrial” scale is despicable – profiting through the “entertainment” of such exemplifies an unforgivable evil. 💔
Give me a break...how is it evil reminding the world of the horrors that took place in Europe during that time, especially since there are so many anti-semites out there screaming out that the Holocaust never happened.
Also I understand that Spielberg didn't take a dime for making SCHINDLER'S LIST, he made the film because he felt he had an obligation to the rememberance of what Oskar Schindler did and to the Jews who survived because of him as well as those who weren't so lucky to survive.
Doesn't sound at all evil to me.

Forgive me, maybe I am blind, but I don't see anywhere someone mentioning "The Guns of Navarone" as a classic WWII movie. To me, it is! Great story, great acting, great suspens, great scenery, great sentiment, etc....
That is indeed a classic. With a cast like Gregory Peck, David Niven and Anthony Quinn, how could it not be?

I think 76 might be Hud.
I've seen HUD, and it is most definitely not HUD.
I absolutely enjoy 73 and 75, the other films I am kind of lukewarm on.

at the risk of going on too long about it-
The third act has problems, ANNE BAXTER takes it to a 12 as only she could, but it would've been better played to a 9 or 9.5. THELMA RITTER disappears from the story. BETTE DAVIS takes a back seat in the third act- although her LITERAL back seat scene IS TERRIFIC.
Also, and I know this is nitpicky, but at the same time, FILM is a VISUAL MEDIUM- nothing exciting happens shotwise or camerwise or lighting wise or even with the sets and there is some BAD REAR PROJECTION FOOTAGE That ruins a street scene between GEORGE SANDERS and ANNE BAXTER
GARY MERRILL is also a stiff.
Most of all though: IMAGINE THE HANDCLAP EMOJI BETWEEN MY EVERY WORD BELOW:
I DO NOT BUY ONE MINUTE OF THE IDEA THAT SOMEONE WITH NO TRAINING AT ALL WOULD BE GIVEN A BROADWAY LEAD. I just NEVER EVER EVER BUY THAT and I am SORRY IF IT HAS HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE THAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT, but that is JUST TOO LUDICROUS.
I gotta agree about Thelma Ritter disappearing from the film without an explanation. I would have loved to have seen more of her.
But I think speedracer has a point about Margo being more curious about Eve rather than truly interested in her. And that curiousity wore thin as soon as Margo began to see that Eve was a beginning to be a hit with everyone, her friends, her boyfriend, Addison De Witt, that it bruised her ego, which I don't think is very far-fetched at all.
As for Gary Merrill, well he wouldn't have been my choice for the role but I think he was adequate enough.

Oh God no (although DAVIS is marvelous). a firm NO. And, eh.
Just curious, what is it about ALL ABOUT EVE you don't like? Personally, I think it was the perfect choice for Best Picture that year.
