thirtysomethingnow Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The Night Of The Hunter!! It will be the first time I have seen this movie and I am thrilled to see it since there have been so many on TCM and the CFU who have enjoyed this movie!! And I can't wait to see Miss Lillian Gish as Rachel!!! Edited by: thirtysomethingnow on Oct 22, 2009 11:18 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrroberts Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 This question is causing brain lock. Rebecca and Night Of The Hunter in a dead heat. Dragonwyck is a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollywoodGolightly Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Yup. It's a pretty hard choice for me, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughorcry Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 re:Rebecca - did anyone else notice Disney's Beauty and the Beast lifted the whole "west wing" theme, Belle does the exact same thing, same stairs, same intensity opening the door and for that matter same fireplace, same over the top candlesticks and butler and pooch, and man with bad temper and castle & tea set and they even had 'crazy old Maurice' down at the boathouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
