    Not even All About Eve? Or On the Waterfront? Or The Bridge on the River Kwai?

    I know, I consider these films very much classics, as well as BEN-HUR and FROM HERE TO ETERNITY. AN AMERICAN IN PARIS, THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH, GIGI and AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, while good films, I don't think I would have given the top honor to though.

  2. I always enjoyed the film MARTY because it wasn't a love story between two folks who would be considered 'the beautiful people'. They were just two ordinary, average everyday people, lonely and looking for companionship.

    MARTY proved you didn't need a gorgeous hunk or a raving beauty as the leads to make a successful love story.

    Here's a screen character who actually got pitchforked

    Greg Palmer, via John Wayne in BIG JAKE.

    But what do you expect? Palmer had just killed the Duke's dog with a machete.

    (By the way Palmer also macheteed Bruce Cabot in the same film but western fans never talked about that, just the dog getting it that way. Come to think of it, the dog was more likeable than Cabot).

    I HATE people who kill helpless animals but I really hate the ones who get some sick sadistic satisfaction out of it.

    Andy Griffin in "A Face in the Crowd" ('57)

    You are so right, Lonesome Rhoades in A FACE IN THE CROWD, was definitely someone who could have benefited (or not) from a few pickings from the pitchfork.

    He was so despicable perhaps a better nickname for him would be "Loathsome" Rhoades!

    Hats off to Andy though for playing such a despicable character with all the right notes. I really did not see any trace of Sheriff Andy Taylor at all in here.
