Rudy's Girl Posted February 14 43 minutes ago, LawrenceA said: A thread about Valentine's Day that features jokes about pedophilia/sexual assault, incest, anti-feminism, drowning, and Harvey Weinstein, all on the first page. Once again, the internet lives up to its reputation. ❤️👽💩🦷🐼🥨🗿❤️ Thank you. This wasn't my intention, but I'm glad somebody said something, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bronxgirl48 Posted February 14 Guys, I posted the Valentino "All I Wanna Do Is Touch You" video because I love Rudy and also for the Rudy's Girl poster who started this thread. I'm as cheeky and irreverent as the next person (read my posts about The Hallmark Channel on their message boards, lol) but perhaps certain responses to it had gotten a bit too, well.....

Bronxgirl48 Posted February 14 Enjoyed reading your list, speedracer. (now how about the ones on obsessive love, lol?) My late mom's favorite was LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING. I'm still shuffling and sorting out my own list. I do know KNIGHT WITHOUT ARMOUR (1937, Robert Donat and Marlene Dietrich) will be among the top 10. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedracer5 Posted February 14 My favorite movies about love gone wrong: 1) Leave Her to Heaven- this might be my #1 favorite movie about obsessive love, and it's such a gorgeous looking movie. 2) Fatal Attraction 3) Lolita (1962) 4) Laura 5) Angel Face 6) Splendor in the Grass 7) Double Indemnity 8 ) The Locket 9) Gun Crazy 10) Sudden Fear LavenderBlue just recommended Play Misty For Me on another thread. If I can get to the library by 6, I may watch this as my Valentine's night film. Lol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I can get to the library by 6, I may watch this as my Valentine's night film. Lol. LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN -- Cornel Wilde, what a dreamboat! I kept shouting at him to run as fast he could from Ellen, lol. I have a somewhat twisted take on this movie, though -- I could almost understand her. (well, not the sociopathic parts) She wanted to have a honeymoon and who shows up? The whole friggin' family, including Cornel's young brother (sleeping on the other side of the wall. What kind of colored lights could they get going with him there?) I'd put the original 1942 CAT PEOPLE on a list about obsessive love. Oliver was another clueless male. Openly cavorting (albeit platonically) with passive-aggressive Alice while poor Irina was struggling with her feline issues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with you re: understanding Ellen. She's on a romantic honeymoon and here comes Cornel's family. That would annoy me too--not to the point of killing the young brother, but yes I could understand her frustration. I can't help but see Cornel Wilde and not think of I Love Lucy. CORNEL WILDE IS IN THE PENTHOUSE!! CORNEL WILDE! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also love It Happened One Night. My favorite parts are the fake fight between Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert ("Quit bawlin' Quit bawlin'") and Alan Hale ("YOUNG PEOPLE IN LOVE!!!"). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I started with an obsessive love list but I couldn't think of many off the top of my head... so I changed it to "love gone wrong" to accommodate more films. lol. A Kiss Before Dying is on Noir Alley in May. I'm interested in that film too! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CORNEL WILDE IS IN THE PENTHOUSE!! CORNEL WILDE! But we have to admit that Gene Tierney looked very chic in those sunglasses! Cornel was on I Love Lucy? Wow! You know, I don't think I've seen that episode. (and I'm an old Baby Boomer!) I remember William Holden though, lol. I think she also "met" Van Johnson and John Wayne. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bronxgirl48 Posted February 14 Speedracer, if you haven't seen A KISS BEFORE DYING I'm sure you'll be impressed by Robert Wagner's performance. Good film in a, how shall I say, 1950's kind of way. And along these lines I'd also add the 1954 BLACK WIDOW. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well long those lines, both films featured Virginia Leith, who just passed last November: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
