Between Patricia Routledge in Keeping Up Appearances and Dawn French as The Vicar of Dibley, I can never seem to make up my mind-- between the Dishy Vicar or the Hostess with the Mostess. So some evenings, I just settle for Judi Dench in As Time Goes By.

I used to watch Monty Python on Channel 13 (I think originally out of Newark).  My family used to watch The Benny Hill Show and Are You Being Served?and who doesn't love Hyacinth Bucket???  But, me mum erso lubbed Upstairs Downstairs... not so funny.  Oh, she watched the original Poldark ... lots of BBC TV in my house.

Spoiler!  (Uhm, yep).

Speaking of DARK SHADOWS, I love DAN CURTIS' work, even THE NORLISS TAPES, but...

BURNT OFFERINGS (1976) was on TCM tonight.  I saw this movie in 1976 on a double bill with CARRIE in Irvington, NJ.    The film was what I remembered, and despite MARIO CANTONE's opinion, I don't love it.  

I will say that I went to Wikipedia and read incorrect information there (it is NOT the only theatrically released film that DAN CURTIS directed - he directed both HOUSE and NIGHT OF DARK SHADOWS)!

What can I say. You got good taste, Allhallowsday

Thanks.  That CAT STEVENS score is perfect for that time and that film.

In a more formal, traditional vein, have always been taken with Ingrid Bergman's London flat (that Cary's gleefully entering below) in "Indiscreet". 

I always loved that apartment of hers!

I saw HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH once, and that was enough for me

Well it's been nearly 40 years and I felt that way then and still do...  but, I'm not saying I wouldn't look at it again.  I'm just not inclined to.

I like all of THE DOORS albums.  Nowadays, I don't have the live one and American Prayer (doesn't really count) that I had on vinyl.   I still think their best 2 albums are the last 2.

Oh, nice! I just looked up those two collections you mentioned-- quite a nice selection! I love compilation albums like that that give you a good selection of tunes.

One in that series I don't have uploaded is Moments To Remember ... they're all 2 discs... that one's 50s.
