movieman1957 Posted January 20, 2011 Like so many people who come out of "Saturday Night" they are good, often very good, sketch players but having to sit through a movie with them in it is sometimes more than I can take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MissGoddess Posted January 22, 2011 > 16. Henri-Georges Clouzot > 23. Luis Bunuel What films of theirs make you rank them so high? > 50. Louis Feuillade I see he made the list. I was glad to see Delmer Daves on your list. Don't forget *The Hanging Tree*, February 8th at 1:30. How'd Richard Quine make the list? You can't have seen many of his movies!

FrankGrimes Posted January 22, 2011 What films of theirs make you rank them so high? With Clouzot, I've seen Le Corbeau, Wages of Fear, Diabolique, and Quai des Orf?vres. I've only seen Bunuel's That Obscure Object of Desire and Un Chien Andalou. I've seen some of Belle de Jour. I'm drawn to Bunuel. 50. Louis Feuillade I see he made the list. I forgot him, initially. Yes, I liked Les Vampires. He may jump after I watch Fantomas and Judex. I was glad to see Delmer Daves on your list. Don't forget The Hanging Tree, February 8th at 1:30. That's Gary Cooper! Blech! I do think Daves is underrated. How'd Richard Quine make the list? You can't have seen many of his movies! He's Kim Novak's director! I have really enjoyed three of his Kim flicks: Pushover, Strangers When We Meet, and Bell, Book and Candle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrankGrimes Posted January 22, 2011 don't be ridiculous. You like Coop. I like him, even his "soapers" like A Summer Place are enjoyable. Oddly enough, Dark Passage is one of Daves' most known films and I'm not a fan of it. Although, I love Lauren Bacall in that picture. The Daves films that I like are 3:10 to Yuma, Kings Go Forth, and The Red House. I need to see Broken Arrow and Jubal. And her ex-husband. I forgot he directed the first two. Oh, heck, I didn't know that! Now it makes sense. What I like about Quine's films is the emotion. He also knows how to capture Kim's sensuality. Ahhhhhhhh, Kim.

FrankGrimes Posted January 22, 2011 You do so! Only when I'm clueless! ANd I love Dark Passage. More each time I see it. It has personality. To be fair, I've seen it just once. I didn't like the first half of the film. It was impersonal, to me. I'm not over fond of Broken Arrow or Jubal. They're good but not as interesting to me as others. I'm hoping for a "message" in the former and a good performance from Glenn Ford in the latter. You sound like me about Coop! Yeah, I think the feeling is similar. I've got a thing for Kim. She could just stand still and I'd think she was seducing me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrankGrimes Posted January 22, 2011 That movie has a DANCE in it! That was a dance? I thought it was something else. By the way, that would be a rather challenging list to do: your favorite dances. Not dance numbers, but dances. You know, Wyatt and Clementine's dance would possibly make mine. Heck if I could think of many more after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrankGrimes Posted January 22, 2011 No way! boy-girl dances, only! Crap! Now I've got nothing. Actually, I'm up to nine. I'm one away! Then I'll post them. You need to see a good list after what you post. No!! And don't you start with me! I'm gonna start and finish and start again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrankGrimes Posted January 22, 2011 This kind of list is next to impossible for me because I just don't focus on dances all that much. I'm sure I'm missing some obvious ones. Anyways, this is what I came up with: 10. The Devil and Daniel Webster - Belle (Simone Simon). 9. The Miracle of Morgan's Creek - Trudy Kockenlocker (Betty Hutton) 8. Make Way for Tomorrow - The Coopers (Victor Moore and Beulah Bondi) 7. My Darling Clementine - Wyatt and Clementine (Henry Fonda and Cathy Downs) 6. They Were Expendable - Rusty and Sandy (John Wayne and Donna Reed) 5. Gilda - Johnny and Gilda (Glenn Ford and Rita Hayworth) 4. Crossfire - Mitchell and Ginny (George Cooper and Gloria Grahame) 3. Waterloo Bridge - Roy and Myra (Robert Taylor and Vivien Leigh) 2. Picnic - Hal and Madge (William Holden and Kim Novak) 1. Criss Cross - Anna (Yvonne De Carlo with Tony Curtis) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
movieman1957 Posted January 22, 2011 Heavens, I don't even know 50 directors. (And I call myself a movie fan,) I've only known about Richard Quine for a couple of weeks, consciously that is. I like "Jubal." Ford plays a nice guy caught up in circumstances of loyalty and walks a fine line in a love triangle and a man out to get him. Interesting story line. I heard someone say it is a loose Shakespeare of a play but I'm not smart enough not tell you which one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted January 22, 2011 I'm impressed!! I didn't even think of most of those...you have a better memory than I do. I especially like that you included *Gilda*, *They Were Expendable* and *Waterloo Bridge* (how did I forget that one?). They were all meaningful in some way, revealing character or feelings that the dancers were unaware of. Love the screencaps, too, thanks for taking the time to do those. They really add a lot.

CineMaven Posted January 23, 2011 Great list Frank. If I could screen cap...I would include the dance between Louis Jourdan and Jennifer Jones from "MADAME BOVARY." That was simply an exquisite example of filmmaking...and when the windows broke.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
