  1. THE SISTERS looks like a good one, do you know if it's available on DVD or Blu-Ray?
  2. Never heard of that one, and I thought I knew every film Bette ever made.
  3. Actually, I do like their teaming in that one a bit more. Hopkins' character is still a bit of an annoyance, but I found her character a bit more tolerable than her other role in THE OLD MAID.
  4. I feel the exact opposite, I absolutely adore JEZEBEL, and thought Bette more than deserved her Oscar. It's got a great cast, and while it might be similar to GONE WITH THE WIND in some ways, there's enough differences so that it holds its own storywise. And I honestly don't see what's so wrong about Bette's dress in here, I thought she looked absolutely gorgeous in it.
  5. I didn't particularly like Hopkins' character in THE OLD MAID, so maybe that's why THE OLD MAID doesn't rank among my favorites. Still, as you say the interactions between her and Davis does make the movie watchable.
  6. Looking forward to JEZEBEL and DARK VICTORY, really enjoy those two. Kind of indifferent towards THE OLD MAID, though Bette still gives it her 100 percent.
  7. THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES is a great film. I know Fredric March and Harold Russell won Oscars for their performances (well deserved IMO) but Dana Andrews should have been nominated as well, a sentiment I know many folks on here share. (SPOILERS): Even though Homer lost his hands, which was traumatic for him no doubt, Fred had to deal with the painful memories of the demise of his lost comrades. Not to mention he returns to a wife who it turns out was never all that cracked up to be.
  8. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one Tom. BTW, I am so happy to have a civilized discussion with you. That's one thing I don't miss about the IMBD forums....the hostile remarks and juvenile insults when somebody disagrees with another.
  9. If some kids choose to idolize Rocky, then that's their choice, I don't think it's fair to blame the director, the writers or the actors. I say it is the responsibility of the parents to make their children see the difference between someone like him on screen and others like him in real life, only much worse. As I pointed out in my other post, I found Rocky somewhat likable, but at the same time I also knew he was an unrepentant jerk. I certainly did NOT want to be like him when I grew up. It also helped that I had two wonderful parents who taught me right from wrong.
