LonesomePolecat Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I know there are only 24 hours in a day, and there are always rights issues, but dif you could add only 1 movie to each SUTS day this year, which would you add? As for me, these would be my picks (I don't have one for each day since I'm not familiar with all this year's stars): Jane Fonda - BAREFOOT IN THE PARK David Niven - MURDER BY DEATH Judy Garland - WIZARD OF OZ Barbara Stanwyck - DOUBLE INDEMNITY James Stewart - IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE (hard to choose) William Powell or Carole Lombard - MY MAN GODFREY Marlon Brando - THE GODFATHER Alexis Smith - HERE COMES THE GROOM Cary Grant - NORTH BY NORTHWEST Charlie Chaplin - LIMELIGHT Claudette Colbert - THE PALM BEACH STORY Paul Newman - THE STING Thelma Ritter - ALL ABOUT EVE Audrey Hepburn - SABRINA Gladys George - THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES Joseph Cotten - SHADOW OF A DOUBT How about you?

(1936) James Stewart: Dear Brigitte (1965) Cary Grant: Father Goose (1964) Claudette Colbert: Midnight (1939) Thelma Ritter: Rear Window (1954) These are EXCELLENT CHOICES!!!!!! MIDNIGHT and DEAR BRIGITTE are two absolute favorites I feel like hardly anyone has seen. About REAR WINDOW-- there was a lack of Hitchcock this month, considering the stars they chose!

SansFin Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 MIDNIGHT and DEAR BRIGITTE are two absolute favorites I feel like hardly anyone has seen. About REAR WINDOW-- there was a lack of Hitchcock this month, considering the stars they chose! I thank you for your kind words. There are so very many which would be excellent for David Niven. Murder by Death (1976) is an excellent choice. I wish they had aired also: The Prisoner of Zenda (1937) but I must admit I wish it more for Ronald Colman than for David Niven. I fear that: Dear Brigitte (1965) might never be aired on TCM. It is on irregular rotation on Fox channel. I doubt that they are eager to allow TCM to have it. I find it odd that there are some days of this month when I can think of no better movies for those stars than those which they choose and there are other days when I could wish to replace all of the movies because I feel that their choices were very common and much-played and there are many less-well-known which deserve recognition.

LonesomePolecat Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 THELMA RITTER: "WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT FEELING GOOD?" (1968). [Never seen it] This is one I'd heard about my whole life from my mom and always wanted to see it. Never could find it anywhere. FInally someone put it up on youtube and even in pan and scan from an old tape cut for TV it was hilarious and I loved it! I usually schedule it for the Programming Challenge because I'm obsessed with this movie being shown on TCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonesomePolecat Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 SansFin, I too have whole days I could have switched out vs others I loved, and, for me, other days where I never heard of the star before (so there was an actor named Lee Tracy, eh?). Interesting mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedracer5 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'm sure I could list tons of movies for all these people, with the exception of just a couple, whom I've either never heard of, or haven't seen many of their films. Based on a quick glance at everyone's filmographies, this is what I've come up with: (Most of these I haven't seen, with the exception of a couple. I was trying to go with films I'd like to see; but haven't or ones I've seen but don't own) JANE FONDA- 9 to 5 (I've always wanted to see "Barbarella" too, lol) DAVID NIVEN- The Bishop's Wife WALTER PIDGEON- Too Hot to Handle JUDY GARLAND- I Could Go on Singing BARBARA STANWYCK- The Lady Eve PAUL MUNI- No opinion JAMES STEWART- Take Her, She's Mine JEANNE MOREAU- No opinion WILLIAM POWELL- The Kennel Murder Case CAROLE LOMBARD- Hands Across the Table MARLON BRANDO- Bedtime Story ALEXIS SMITH- The Turning Point CARY GRANT- Talk of the Town CHARLIE CHAPLIN- No opinion FAYE DUNAWAY- Network (I am tempted to also say Mommie Dearest) HERBERT MARSHALL- The Enchanted Cottage JOHN HODIAK- Somewhere in the Night CLAUDETTE COLBERT- The Gilded Lily PAUL NEWMAN- The Long, Hot Summer THELMA RITTER- Rear Window LEE TRACY- No opinion AUDREY HEPBURN- Two For the Road ERNEST BORGNINE- The Poseidon Adventure GLADYS GEORGE- Detective Story DICK POWELL- Cry Danger (I read about it on this board, it sounded good; I also want to say The Conqueror, knowing that Powell directed it) SOPHIA LOREN- Houseboat EDMUND O'BRIEN- A Girl, A Guy and A Gob ARLENE DAHL- No opinion JOSEPH COTTEN- Niagara BETTY GRABLE- Moon Over Miami ALAN LADD-The Carpetbaggers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonesomePolecat Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Totally forgot about THE BISHOP'S WIFE (I always forget Christmas movies exist in August) -- Niven is great in that one, keeping it believable and not going cheesy, which it easily could have.

skimpole Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Fonda-Coming Home Niven-Seperate Tables OR Death on the Nile OR Stairway to Heaven Pidgeon-Probably Man Hunt Garland-The Wizard of Oz or Ziegfeld Follies Stanwyck-Double Indemnity Muni-The Valiant Stewart-Out of many possible choices, we really could have The Man from Laramie more often Moreau-Chimes at Midnight or Mr. Klein orThe Last Tycoon W. Powell-Another Thin Man Lombard-Swing High, Swing Low Brando-The Missouri Breaks Smith-The Adventures of Mark Twain Grant-As a Canadian, I'd love to see Notorious again, but we haven't had Charade for some time Chaplin-Limelight Dunaway-The Towering Inferno Marshall-Five weeks in a Balloon Hodiak-I've got nothing Colbert-The Palm Beach Story Newman-The Hustler or The Verdict or Mr. and Mrs. Bridge Ritter-All About Eve Tracy-The Best Man Hepburn-Two for the Road (but I am curious how Bloodline turns out) Borgnine-The Black Hole George-Valiant is the word for Carrie D. Powell-Gold Diggers of 1933 Loren-A Special Day O'Brien-The Barefoot Contessa Dahl-I've got nothing Cotten-Shadow of a Doubt is the obvious choice, but I've never seen Caravans Grable-This Lady in Ermine Ladd-Saskatchewan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
