And the Hollywood passings just keep on coming.... I adored Wilford Brimley, I always considered him one of the best character actors in the 70's, 80's, 90's, and so on. Whether his character's demeanor was grumpy, or ruthless, or wise beyond years, he was always great to watch onscreen.

Love, love LOVE this movie! Love how Biff (James Cagney) is eyeing Virginia (Rita Hayworth) and already sizing her up as his idea of the 'perfect girl', little knowing that.... (SPOILERS) Amy (Olivia de Havilland) is the one who will prove to be the better catch.

Indeed, I always enjoy the Robert Mitchum/Deborah Kerr teamings, particularly HEAVEN KNOWS, MR. ALLISON and THE SUNDOWNERS. Though I might lean a bit more toward THE SUNDOWNERS. IMO it's a crime that Kerr didn't take home an Oscar for that film or that Mitchum wasn't even nominated.

Seen all except 1468. 1461, 1462 and 1463 I absolutely adore. I also like 1464 quite well. The rest are viewable if not iconic IMO.

Gail Patrick

I did see BLOOD MONEY, but I guess I didn't realize that was Judith Anderson. She looks so much younger than she did as Mrs. Danvers in REBECCA even though that came out only 7 years later.

Glad you are back. I was wondering what had happened to you. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery.

1941's THE WOLF MAN is considered by the majority to be the ultimate werewolf movie, but there's something intriguing about WEREWOLF OF LONDON that makes it stand out on its own. It's great fun on its own terms, and it's interesting to see Henry Hull in a rare turn as the lead. Great supporting cast too, including Valerie Hobson and Spring Byington.

Alan Arkin would be a great choice, as you say he would have much to contribute about the films being shown. Have to say nay to Seth MacFarlane. Not only have I never found the guy funny (never been a FAMILY GUY fan at all), I wouldn't trust him to could go through an introduction without inserting at least one dirty joke or antidote down the line.

"...and with some consideration for all the men and women all over the world who are in prison tonight..." Would that include all the cold-blooded murderers, rapists and child molesters, Oliver? You can say he could have just been referring to those charged with and imprisoned for drug charges but he didn't bother to get that specific. My problem with MIDNIGHT EXPRESS is it went out of its way to portray Billy Hayes as a victim or some sort of hero when he was neither of those things. He was a drug smuggler who was caught breaking the law. Yeah, the 30 year sentence was extreme, but he put himself in that position the moment he taped the hash onto himself. Also, in real life the real Billy Hayes had previously smuggled hash out of Turkey three times before he was caught on his fourth trip so he was hardly the naïve 'innocent' the film tries to depict him as. In all fairness to the filmmakers though, this wasn't known at the time the movie came out, nor did Hayes mention it in his book for it would have had legal consequences for him at the time.

Can't argue with any of these choices, they are all classics in my book.

1453 and 1454 are the only ones I recognize from here. I do recall liking 1454 quite well. A couple on here look familiar but I can't quite place them.
