Have you seen these 10 classic films..?

Saw about half of them.  Mixed reaction to Hair.  I like Sweet Bird of Youth and Awakenings reminds me of Charley.

1857-1859 -> All are absolutely charming. It is hard to find Down in the Delta. 

I remember seeing this one in theaters when it was first released. I haven't seen it anywhere else. But it's such a fine film.

I would have been able to identify 1853, 1854, 1856 and 1858.

And those are also the ones I've seen: Summer Stock, Sweet Bird of Youth, Hair and Awakenings.

I've never seen HAIR all the way through.

Interesting point. Yes, they share some plot similarities and would make a good double feature on TCM.

I rented Hair on VHS from Blockbuster when I was in college. Apparently, the plot of the movie is radically different from the original stage show, so I don't really have any conception what it would have been like to see the show live in 1969, but I did enjoy the movie version.

[sewhite2000]

I saw April Love when TCM had a Pat Boone night a few years ago.

I was pretty sure 1876 was Freud. I thought that was Clift, and it has sort of a Freud-y look. It's not a movie I've seen, though. I don't know that TCM has ever shown it.

Okay, I've seen five.

Yes, I don't think FREUD's ever aired on TCM. It has a good score on the IMDb, so people have been watching it somehow.

Special Theme: Directed by Sidney Lumet

Have you seen these classics:

1881. 

1882. 

1883. 

1884. 

1885. 

1886. 

1887. 

1888. 

1889. 

1890. 

[sewhite2000]

There are certainly a number of more easily identifiable Lumet films out there! I don't know too many of these. But knowing what a great and diverse career he had, I should seek all of these out probably.

1882 is Fail Safe. Yes.

1883 is The Hill. No.

1888 is Deathtrap. Yes.

1889 is Garbo Talks. No.

Only two I'm sure I've seen.

 

[chaya bat woof woof]

Fail Safe is a great but frightening movie.

I've seen about half of them.

[sewhite2000]

There's some great reading material about the near-simultaneous making of Fail Safe and Dr. Strangelove, both of which were released by the same studio and adapted from the same source material, but one is funny and one is deadly serious. 

[TopBilled]

Cheat Sheet:

1881. STAGE STRUCK (1958) with Christopher Plummer & Susan Strasberg.

1882. FAIL SAFE (1964) with Henry Fonda.

1883. THE HILL (1965) with Harry Andrews & Sean Connery.

1884. THE SEA GULL (1968) with Simone Signoret & James Mason.

1892 Well, it's one of the Garson-Pigeon movies. I think I've seen all of them. I will guess Blossoms in the Dust.

1900 is Cyrano de Bergerac. No.

Unsure about the others, and I'm about to load my car for a long drive. I will check back tonight. Love the moment captured in 1894!

[jessica_ann]

I've seen most of them except the horror/suspense genre ones!

1891. THE RISE OF CATHERINE THE GREAT (1934) with Elisabeth Bergner.

1900. CYRANO DE BERGERAC (1990) with Gerard Depardieu.

[sewhite2000]

Always stunned by how many movies I've yet to see. Blossoms in the Dust is the only one on this list I've seen.

1900. CYRANO DE BERGERAC (1990) with Gerard Depardieu.

This is one of the greatest performances by an actor that I've ever seen. Even though it's entirely in French, the Academy did nominate Gerard Depardieu here for an Oscar for this outstanding performance.

This movie is an adaptation of the late 19th century play by Edmond Rostand.

Cyrano de Bergerac was a real French writer in the 17th century whose works have been overshadowed by the play based on his life.

 So what you have here is a 20th century film adaptation of a 19th century French play based on the life of an eclectic, esoteric 17th century French writer.

What a truly fascinating film, whose fundamental story is well-known to English-speaking audiences.

Your enthusiastic comments make me want to watch this film.  

TCM should air it along with the Jose Ferrer version, and toss in ROXANNE for good measure.
