  1. Awesome! Love the movie, and love Robert Mitchum in here. He was just oozing with coolness in here.
  2. I like James Stewart, but I am, through and through, a much bigger Tom Hanks fan. I could see Stewart in maybe a watered down SAVING PRIVATE RYAN (one without showing the blood and guts), but it is impossible to see him in Tom's role in PHILADELPHIA (and not just because of the sexuality of the character). Stewart is capable of taking on roles in dark-toned films (like Hitchcock's VERTIGO) but would he have been believable as a family-orientated hitman in ROAD TO PERDITION like Hanks was? Maybe, maybe not. I suppose Stewart could have pulled off FORREST GUMP, but then I am not that much of a fan of that film, even with Tom in it. I don't know if Hanks could have pulled off any of Stewart's roles either, even Mr. Smith, even though Smith does capture a lot of everyday man qualities that Hanks portray in most of his roles. Hanks and Stewart. while it may appear on the surface have similar acting styles, are actually worlds apart in what roles they were suitable for.
  3. I love that scene too. I adore HORROR OF DRACULA. The majority opinion seems to be that Bela Lugosi is the ultimate Dracula, and while Lugosi certainly made for a creepy vampire, I must say Christopher Lee is more than a match for him. I love Peter Cushing as Dr. Van Helsing. The final battle between him and Lee's Dracula is exciting.
  4. I just love THE PETRIFIED FOREST. It would still be a few years before Bogey would finally rise to stardom, but he does make quite an impression in here.
  5. Oh I love the Hammer films. THE CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF, while not my favorite Hammer film, is certainly very much watchable. Although.... First time views may feel frusterated because....(SPOILER ALERT) The werewolf doesn't turn up until the last 5 or 10 minutes of the film. I would still recommend to stick with it though.
  6. CHARIOTS OF FIRE gets a lot of flack because it was the movie that dared to beat REDS for Best Picture in 1981/1982, but I personally think it's a great movie. And of course the film's musical score is legendary. It's almost impossible to NOT think of it when you see a bunch of folks running in a marathon (or even just jogging outside your home).
  7. Of course my biggest crush was and still is on James Cagney even over 30 years after his death. Thanks to the power of TCM and DVD's.
  8. My folks got me watching GUNSMOKE on cable recently.....and James Arness sure fits the tall, dark, handsome fella to a T as Marshall Dillon. Dennis Weaver as Chester wasn't such a bad looker himself when he was younger. Heck, even the good Doc Adams, crotchety old fella that he was, had a certain amount of charm to him.
  9. Looking forward to GUNGA DIN. Don't think I've seen KIM in a long, long time.
