sewhite2000 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 211 Strictly a guess, but Alice Adams? If so, I've seen it 214 I could be way off base here, but I feel like this is some Haley Mills thing I've seen, but I have no idea what the name is. 215 Whichever Orson Welles films he played Falstaff. Chimes at Midnight, maybe. I haven't seen it. 216 A Patch of Blue - yes 217 90 per cent sure it's Sugarland Express, in which case, yes 218 The Last Temptation of Christ - no 219 The Sixth Sense - yes 220 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - yes So, only three I'm absolutely sure I've seen, but depending on how my guesses turn out maybe as many as six. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dargo Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 212 is I believe Christmas Holiday, and which is as far as I know the only movie Gene Kelly costarred with Deanna Durbin. (...for a while I couldn't tell if that actually was Durbin or Ann Jeffreys) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This one here, TB. For a while I was thinking it might be another movie that Yvonne De Carlo and Rod Cameron starred in together. A movie titled Salome, Where She Danced (1945). Here's the IMDb webpage for it... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038046/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_80 (...btw, Salome AZ is a little burg out in the middle of nowhere that still exists...I'd drive through it quite often while traveling between Prescott AZ and L.A., and before moving to Sedona) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, all their films together were westerns and in Technicolor (made at Universal). 7 minutes ago, sewhite2000 said: I certainly didn't know Kelly and Durbin had ever been in a picture together.

I don't remember now where I read this - possibly a Kelly biography or an article somewhere - that MGM recognized Kelly's talent and wrapped him up to a long-term contract, but the studio didn't really know what to DO with him until they loaned him out to pair with Rita Hayworth at Columbia for Cover Girl, and then the lights went up in their eyes, and they were all like "Ohh ...". I see this non-MGM movie is from the same year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dargo Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I remember watching Christmas Holiday on TCM during I believe a SUTS tribute day to Durbin a while back. Kelly plays a criminal in this one who Durbin marries, but the marriage and Kelly are ill-fated. (...nice Christmas movie, eh?!) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TopBilled Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Have you seen these classic films: 221. 222. 223. 224. 225. 226. 227. 228. 229. 230. Link to post Share on other sites

sewhite2000 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Boy, I may not have seen any of these. I only know because of the name on the luggage. 224 is Death of a Salemsan, which I think is in some sort of rights hell or is never shown because Arthur Miller didn't like it .... or something. Anyway, haven't seen it. 225 I wanted to say it was Desperate Hours, but then I started thinking that was Bogart. Anyway, something similar. I haven't seen it, whatever the title. 226 Psycho - no. Does that make me a terrible classic movie fan? I"ve seen plenty of clips, and I saw the almost shot-for-shot Gus Van Zandt remake. But never sat down and watched the original all the way through. 227 The Rocky Horror Picture Show - oh wait, I have seen this one! 228 Jagged Edge - no, but I caught the last two minutes on HBO about 30 years ago, so I know how it ends. 229 - Aladdin - no 230 - I'm getting deja vu looking at this still, but I'm drawing a blank. So, depending on what the first three are (can't identify any of them), I may have only seen one of these. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This one sewhite, which as you said has a similar premise of a household being held hostage, but with the added plot point of an attempt by the hostage takers at an assassination of a President, is titled Suddenly. (...it is said Frank Sinatra had this film pulled from circulation for many years after JFK was assassinated) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bethluvsfilms Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I love 226 and 228. 226 definitely deserves its status as a classic, and as for 228 I am a huge fan of both Glenn Close and Jeff Bridges. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
