NickAndNora34 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 SCTV (Second City Television): I just recently heard of this show, and I am a huge fan of Andrea Martin, John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, and Rick Moranis, so it was really great to find this. This show is a lot like Saturday Night Live, which I also enjoy. I found a bunch of clips on YouTube, and I've been watching them for the past hour. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
kingrat Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Where did you see that? Online? Yes, on YouTube. There are lots of episodes of Peyton Place available. Hey, Conan the Librarian would be my kind of movie. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
LawrenceA Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Valmont - The other film version of Les Liaisons dangereuses from the late 80's. This one was directed by Milos Forman, and stars Annette Bening, Colin Firth, and Meg Tilly. Also with Fairuza Balk, Henry Thomas, Sian Phillips, and Jeffrey Jones. The last movie in my 1989 stack. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
kingrat Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I recall Valmont, though not the equal of Dangerous Liaisons, as still being well worth seeing. Link to post Share on other sites

mrroberts Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'm in the middle of an 'Andy Griffith Show' marathon. I can't believe it, I think I'm actually watching an episode I haven't seen before! I just recently watched a tv movie starring good old Andy, GRAMPS. This was made in the early 90's and Andy plays a "lovable" old codger who was long estranged from his son (John Ritter) and the son's wife and little boy. But we quickly learn that Gramps Andy isn't so lovable, he's a very dangerous psychotic who stops at nothing to get his way, including murder. Andy is very, very scary in this one (I recall seeing him play similar characters in other films , not to mention A FACE IN THE CROWD). Maybe the extreme sharp contrast between these psychos and his usual "Sheriff Andy" and " lawyer Matlock " makes him all the more scary in these roles. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TopBilled Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'm watching THE SLIPPER AND THE ROSE on Amazon Prime. Something about this one I like. It's different than a lot of musicals that were made in the 70s. Bryan Forbes is one of my favorite British directors. And the Sherman Brothers, who can top their music!

LawrenceA Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Freddie Jones and Anthony Hopkins >>>>"...and Freddie Jones" My favorite Vanya. That was Jeffrey Jones in Valmont, not Freddie. Jeffrey Jones But I like Freddie Jones as well, especially in Dune 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TopBilled Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Watching a British war comedy from 1944 called MEDAL FOR THE GENERAL. It's on Amazon Prime. Kind of different, but it's charming. It was Petula Clark's first picture, at age 11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal_for_the_General 1 Link to post Share on other sites
speedracer5 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I was going to try and get some stuff off the DVR, but then I saw that it's essentially an Errol Flynn marathon on TCM tonight... *sigh* maybe tomorrow. Lol. I just finished watching In This Our Life and now I'm watching They Died With Their Boots On. I can't deny myself an evening of Errol where I don't have to run downstairs to look for the DVDs. Olivia is a bonus too! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Ok. That makes two of us here now who like Dune. Mr. Jones was very good in this. And Freddie is father of Toby Jones who might have won an Oscar for his turn as Truman Capote in Infamous (2006) if Philip Seymour Hoffman hadn't beaten him to the punch with Capote in 2005.

Holy ****, is that true???!? I had no idea. I like Toby Jones a lot. Infamous, The Mist, Finding Neverland, The Painted Veil, Amazing Grace, W. (as Karl Rove), Frost/Nixon, Captain America, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Girl (as Alfred Hitchcock). He was memorable in all of them. Thanks for the info, Bogie. Link to post Share on other sites
DJBeacon Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I think Dolph's is the best of the many different Punisher movies. And Lady Tanaka and Franco, the best villains. Not much a fan of Thomas Jane's Punisher. Link to post Share on other sites

Not much a fan of Thomas Jane's Punisher. It had been a long time since I'd seen The Punisher with Dolph. Kim Miyori as Lady Tanaka was really good. I didn't like the Thomas Jane version, either, although I'm going to rewatch it soon. I liked the Ray Stevenson Punisher: War Zone the most, although it was ridiculously over-the-top. I've heard Jon Bernthal is very good in the role in the Netflix Daredevil series, good enough for his own spin-off series. Link to post Share on other sites

TopBilled Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I'm watching THE VAGABOND KING on Amazon Prime. This is a good film-- expert use of Technicolor, costumes, music, attractive performers and sets. Those who think MGM only excelled at musicals in the 50s really need to check this Paramount film out. Michael Curtiz directed. Link to post Share on other sites
