The Squall '29 next : an under=rated comedy (IYO)

Hint 2 is rather fascinating ... Could it possibly be Gable and Lombard?

Daniel Craig next : c.d.

Jack Nicholson

The Shanghai Gestyre ...is what comes immediately to mind. Is that a schlock film? next > your favorite silent film

Underdog

correct

for fun ... Name a movie where the star of Citizen Kane in a different movie played a military officer.

Interesting in the characters is actually essential. But does that entail "caring about" them (which perhaps needs definition). I puzzle over this because it seems to me that this is not a necessary ingredient for liking a movie. A likeable character is fine and I suppose that will do. But it's not like I'm being a cheerleader. But it CAN happen. I recently watched Girl Most Likely (2014) with Kirsten Wiig and I was actually rooting for her character in that one. A comedy which I thoroughly enjoyed but no one else seems to. Ms Wiig certainly carried the film but gets some really brilliant support from Annette Benning, who plays the mother who might not be likable to some but I liked her a lot. A mother-daughter relationship thoroughly akin to a desperately dysfunction family. Actually I've seen it about three times. Maybe Kirsten Whig doesn't qualify as the necessary person to be liked to make a movie worthwhile. Because she is so darn cute.

the idea for this thread is an opportunity for creativity, but look what is happening ...maybe it should be moved to Sesame Street
