JackFavell Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 > I was always someone who liked singles but never really bought albums. I didn't do that until I got into rap music in the mid-to-late 80s. With the 80s, I was all about the weekly top 40 countdown and MTV. I loved all of that. I really loved MTV at the beginning. I can remember the first time I saw it. We went to a friends house, and they had it on, and everyone gathered to watch the videos. > I'm trying to think of what the first album I ever got would be. It would have to be a cassette. You know, it may actually be Olivia Newton-John's greatest hits. I was infatuated with her. I know I got Hall & Oates' "Big Bam Boom." I also had a girl in school record their "H2O" for me. That was in fifth grade. I also had the *Breakin'* soundtrack and Janet Jackson's "Control." I can't remember if my brother bought "1999" or I did. I loved that album. I know he bought "Thriller." I wasn't into any of those except Thriller. > Let Me Love You Tonight - Pure Prairie League > The Devil Went Down to Georgia - Charlie Daniels Band > Poison Arrow - ABC > *The Safety Dance - Men Without Hats* > Another One Bites the Dust - The Queen > *De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da - The Police* > *She Blinded Me with Science - Thomas Dolby* > The Curly Shuffle - Jump n' the Saddle > Pac-Man Fever - Buckner & Garcia > *Rock the Casbah - The Clash* > The Eye of the Tiger - Survivor > Magic - Olivia Newton-John > *Thriller - Michael Jackson* > *** on Feel the Noize - Quiet Riot > *Our House - Madness* > *Goody Two Shoes - Adam Ant* > *Funkytown - Lipps Inc.* The bold ones are the ones I really liked off of your list. > Do you remember your first album(s)? I am not sure. I remember getting the Beatles blue and red albums early on, but I don't think I bought them myself. I remember my first 45's, I think I was about ten: Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues - Danny O'Keefe Lean on Me - Bill Withers I'll Take You There - The Staple Singers Cher - Gypsies Tramps and Thieves (but I bought it for the B side, He'll Never Know) Alone Again Naturally - Gilbert O' Sullivan Everybody Plays the Fool - The Main Ingredient Brand New Key - Melanie I Can See Clearly Now - Johnny Nash Black and White - Three Dog Night I got all my sister's hand me down records. I had very few of my own. There was a Roberta Flack one I know I got for my birthday one year. I was a real geek and had oddball things like a collection of THE MARX BROS. comedy skits from their movies, and my parents cast off broadway albums full of showtunes. I believe I begged for a John Denver greatest hits album one year and wore it out. I don't think I really bought my own albums until much much later. I remember saving up for London Calling by The Clash and Elvis Costello's Punch the Clock. They may have been the first albums I ever bought myself.

movieman1957 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 *Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues - Danny O'Keefe* *Lean on Me - Bill Withers* *I'll Take You There - The Staple Singers* *Cher - Gypsies Tramps and Thieves (but I bought it for the B side, He'll Never Know)* *Alone Again Naturally - Gilbert O' Sullivan* *Everybody Plays the Fool - The Main Ingredient* *Brand New Key - Melanie* *I Can See Clearly Now - Johnny Nash* *Black and White - Three Dog Night*I have 6 of those and many more. I still have all my 45s and a turntable as well. I have a few from the mid 60s. Beatles and Monkees but most of mine are from the eary 70s. Bread, Badfinger, Nilsson, most of The Beatles solo 45s and some other odds and ends. I have bought many again on itunes and still enjoy them.

movieman1957 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I've seen 19. A bunch of them have been a long time ago. One I really liked and was surprised about was "The Killer Is Loose." Pretty tense and compact. "Boomerang," Term of Trial," "Rebel Without A Cause" are among the best. I like "As Young As You Feel." "Prisoner Of Zenda" is pretty good but I think Ronald Colman is terrific anyway. Didn't care much for "Legend Of The Lost" but all the others are pretty much good viewing.

I liked their songs on the radio, but I was a little too young to understand they were all from the same band. I like every song they ever did, but I have none of their albums or cd's, as we like to call them now.

Can you rank them? Can you guess my top ten favorites? Here's how I like the ones I've seen. The first two were really tough for me to choose between - But I give it to Zenda because I saw it first and it has such nostalgia attached: 1. Prisoner of Zenda 2. Hold Back the Dawn 3. Vacation from a Marriage 4. Bullets or Ballots 5. The Parent Trap 6. Reap the Wild Wind 7. The Baron of Arizona 8. The Unsuspected 9. The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle 10. Virginia City 11. Rebel Without a Cause 12. Assault on a Queen 13. Term of Trial 14. Ryan's Daughter 15. The Greatest Show on Earth 16. Cash McCall 17. The Country Girl 18. Boomerang! 19. Black Widow 20. The Girl from Missouri 21. Perfect Strangers My favorite brunette I remember liking a lot, but I haven't any memory of the actual movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGoddess Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 G'day, slowpoke. > Here we go again! You want to be with the carousing cowboys! So you agree with me that *The Wild Bunch* is a great "marital" film! > It looks more like *Bachelor in Paradise* (another movie I recommend, for Kim Novak...and it's actually kind of cute). > That's because you like John Wayne more! > i should say i do. > Well, in *The Cheat*, he looks like this: > > > > oy! he looks like paul muni. > You just love Celeste. > i liked her in *all about eve* and *road house*, that's about it. > > Kaye is naughty?

MissGoddess Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion *Assault on a Queen* As Young as You Feel The Baron of Arizona Black Widow Boomerang! Brigham Young Bullets or Ballots *Cash McCall* The Country Girl *Crack-Up* Desperate Journey *The Flame of New Orleans* The Girl from Missouri The Greatest Show on Earth *Hold Back the Dawn* Journey Into Fear *The Killer Is Loose* La Collectionneuse *Legend of the Lost* Le Notti Bianche Le Plaisir Merrily We Go to Hell *My Favorite Brunette* *The Parent Trap* *The Prisoner of Zenda* (1938) *Perfect Strangers* *Reap the Wild Wind* Rebel Without a Cause *Ryan's Daughter* *The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle* Term of Trial *The Unsuspected* Vacation from Marriage *Virginia City* i highlighted the ones i liked. i suppose i like *the parent trap* and *assualt on a queen* best of all of them, followed by *hold back the dawn* and *crack-up*. i tend to confuse *virginia city* and *dodge city*...i believe *dodge city* is the one i prefer. i enjoyed *baron of arizona*, it's a very colorful western in terms of character. i could "see" fuller in it, that flamboyancy. > So how do you (and anyone else) like those films? Can you rank them?

FrankGrimes Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 *it's not an easy character and he did great with it.* He made William Holden seem less relevant with me, and that takes a lot of doing.
