I honestly don't have any idea. I have the DVD so fortunately I don't have to rely on TCM to watch ANGELS.

Richard Jenkins

Veronica Cartwright

"Made it, Ma!!! TOP OF THE WORLD!!!" from the one and only Cody Jarrett (James Cagney) from WHITE HEAT (though I prefer to use that line under much more pleasant circumstances than what Cody was facing). "Baby, I don't care," from Jeff Bailey (Robert Mitchum) about to get it on with Kathie (Jane Greer) in OUT OF THE PAST. As a great-aunt for the fourth time, and having my second great niece named Stella, I'll have to wait until she's older but I can't wait to try out A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE's Stanley Kowalski's (Marlon Brando) line on her once she's much older...."Hey, STELLAA!!!!"

I also love MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE, and the scene with Myrna Loy that you mentioned. I also really appreciate Melvyn Douglas as the Blandings' friend and advisor, his biting comments during the proceedings were so hilarious.

Christopher Lloyd

I would probably recommend THE WIZARD OF OZ, though if you have small children you might want to warn them about the Wicked Witch and the flying monkeys beforehand. I have to agree with THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, I can't think of anything in that film that might scare the young ones off. It's just an all around exciting and fun film. Now if you're talking about young adults, from 16 to their early twenties, I have to go along with CASABLANCA, it would be an awesome way to introduce Bogart to those who are unfamiliar with his films. YANKEE DOODLE DANDY and BRINGING UP BABY are two that I think anyone at any age can really get into (though it would depend whether or not one likes musicals and screwball comedies).

Brad Dourif

(SPOILERS ALERT): The "Is your name Marion?" innocent-sounding question Bruno asks then he strangles her while we watch through the lenses of her glasses that have fallen into the ground is quite chilling. Robert Walker did make quite the chilling villain in here. It just goes to show it's the seemingly 'boy-next-door' type that you have to watch out for.

THE FIRM

Awesome selection! Especially THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD and CAPTAIN BLOOD.

Chris O'Donnell

Al Pacino

TORA! TORA! TORA! has always been one of my mom's favorites, gave it to her on DVD last Christmas. Though it has led to some serious debating on one issue. She insists that what happened at Pearl Harbor, with the deaths of the soldiers, mostly young men, were more tragic than the Twin Towers being struck by terrorist-taken over airplanes and collapsing on 9/11. I happen to believe both were horrible tragedies.

Mandy Patinkin

I've never smoked a day in my life, despite the 'cool' image of it in so many classic films. Which is a miracle, since, with the exception of my mother, my whole family has smoked at one time or another (and a couple of members still do). I guess I was fortunate I was born in the mid 70's, where there was a bit more out in the open about the dangers of smoking to one's health.

Judy Davis

Juliette Lewis

Edward G. Robinson should have had nominations for THE WHOLE TOWN'S TALKING, DOUBLE INDEMNITY and KEY LARGO and should have won for either TOWN'S or INDEMNITY. The fact that he was never nominated remains a black stain on the history of the Academy. Likewise, it's a crime than Deborah Kerr, Robert Mitchum, Peter O'Toole, Cary Grant, Judy Garland, to name just a few, never took home a competitive oscar. Still waiting for Glenn Close, Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson to win theirs, though in Close's case, I fear she will have to settle for an Honorary one. (She was considered a shoo-in for THE WIFE, but lost to Olivia Coleman for THE FAVOURITE).
