I remember that scene from THE GREAT SANTINI.
I have to say Keith's character got what he deserved. Bad enough he wanted to torment Toomer but anyone who deliberately goes out to kill innocent animals is pure slime.
(SPOILERS) The sad part is that Toomer ended up dying anyway regardless of Keith's half-hearted regrets.

British classics currently on YouTube
BACKGROUND with Valerie Hobson
THE LEATHER BOYS with Rita Tushingham
BACKGROUND certainly sounds interesting enough, I like to see a bit more of Valerie Hobson anyway.

I watched this last night. I haven't seen it since we taped it off of TV years ago. It's a fun little movie and well-acted. It's the usual formula of boy-meets-girl and they loathe each other at first, but we all know where it's going. The only difference is they are stranded on an island and being hunted by pirates. Funny and sweet. I would buy it.
I like this movie as well. And while it's true it does have the same old formula of man and woman loathing each other, then falling for each other, it's still a lot of fun to watch.

10 a.m. Popeye: Blunder Below (1942).
noon. Malcolm X (1992). It's still Spike Lee's best film and the one that Denzel Washington should have won the Oscar for.
I agree that MALCOLM X is indeed Spike Lee's finest work and had he not been competing against Al Pacino (who was long overdue at this point) who was nominated for SCENT OF A WOMAN alongside Denzel, Denzel probably would have won Best Actor that year.
Which is not to say Pacino wasn't great in SCENT OF A WOMAN (he was), but he turned in much more award worthy performances in the first two GODFATHER films, DOG DAY AFTERNOON and AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

Have you seen these classics:
1371.
1372.
1373.
1374.
1375.
1376.
1377.
1378.
1379.
1380.
I haven't seen 1371, 1377 or 1380.
1372 is pretty funny. 1374 and 1379 I like really well.
1378 is a pretty decent action flick (helped especially by Sidney Poitier). 1375 and 1376 are watchable.

How about Untamed Youth with Mamie Van Doren, and a musical number in a cotton field?
(Lurene Tuttle is actually quite good in the movie.)
Haven't see that one, but it certainly looks interesting.

Night time on TCM
HOT SUMMER NIGHT with Leslie Nielsen
CLASH BY NIGHT with Barbara Stanwyck
THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA with Richard Burton
Cool selection of films.
And to think earlier we were talking about Leslie Nielsen.
But THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA is the flick I am really looking forward to seeing.

Oh yes, he was also quite a baddie in NUTS too.
Don't really care for Barbra Streisand but NUTS is one film where I think she did a great acting job in, I'm surprised she wasn't nominated for Best Actress that year.

1367 has Leslie Nielsen in a supporting role. But unlike his later parodies, Nielsen is playing a "straight man" to Knotts. So if someone watches this movie thinking Nielsen is going to be funny, they'll be disappointed.
My introduction to Leslie Nielsen was long before he did any of the NAKED GUN movies or even before I saw the original AIRPLANE.
I first saw him as a really nasty bad guy in CREEPSHOW (1982), a movie with 5 horror tales, and in the third story he plays a rich psychopath who disposes of his unfaithful wife and her lover (CHEERS' Ted Danson) by burying them up to their necks on the beach and leaving them to drown. That was my favorite tale in that one, not least of which because Nielsen made such a delicious villain in that one.

Well this one is different from 12 ANGRY MEN, because it has a romantic subplot and that sort of overtakes the rest of the story.
Imagine if 12 ANGRY MEN had a gay romantic subplot! It doesn't really fit in with a movie that is about justice and arriving at the right verdict.
Just imagine Juror 10#'s (Ed Begley) reaction if one of the jurors came on to him (particularly the watchmaker).

Would you say all Don Knotts films are "cute"...?
I would say most of them are.
As for Knotts himself, I can take him or leave him, but I did find he was quite funny in 1367.

That's an interesting way of looking at it.
Still missed Ritter once she vanished from the film after Eve and Margo parted ways though.
