LornaHansonForbes Posted January 17 tonight at 8:00, I remember this being included in a British film critic's selection of the 100 BEST FILMS OF THE 20TH CENTURY. Whisky Galore! (1949) Synopsis:Dir: Alexander Mackendrick Cast: Joan Greenwood , LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW: 😧 Alexander Mackendrick. Basil Radford, Joan Greenwood, James Robertson Justice, Jean Cadell, Gordon Jackson, Wylie Watson, John Gregson. Narrated by Finlay Currie. Hilarious, fast-paced comedy about WW2 ship sinking while loaded with whiskey and the antics of local Scottish islanders thirsting for its cargo. A solid hit. Scripted by Compton Mackenzie, the author of the novel, who has a small role as Captain Buncher. British title: WHISKY GALORE! Followed by MAD LITTLE ISLAND. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LornaHansonForbes Posted January 18 1 hour ago, sagebrush said: Nice movie poster! I was thinking the exact same thing. I love the way silent film posters Tend to be artistic renderings of a single scene on the full sheet, as opposed to a montage of scenes and/or characters from the film. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted January 19 Monday, January 20 *NB: I'm in England for a couple of months and over here the times do not appear on the schedule. So for the next while if interested you may have to double check the times that I am posting. When the schedule was originally announced The Member of the Wedding (1953) with Julie Harris was on at 8 p.m. Now it appears to be replaced with ... Nothing But a Man (1964) with Ivan Dixon, Abbey Lincoln and Julius Harris. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so please give us live updates, in fact start a whole thread about it if you want to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie56 Posted January 22 Thursday, January 23 Here we go with the old switcheroo … Body and Soul (1947). Robert Rossen film with John Garfield. That looks like James Wong Howe on roller skates! Replaced in Canada with Show Boat (1936). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gershwin fan Posted January 22 This is probably one time where Canada wins out. I think of the two, I'd rather watch Show Boat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am so glad that it didn't get removed from the schedule. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fedya Posted January 22 I'm surprised nobody has mentioned tonight's lineup of Incendiary Blonde at 8:00 PM followed by Bugsy Malone at 10:00 PM. The latter is so much silly fun. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted January 23 Friday, January 24 8 p.m. The Wrath of God (1972). I haven’t seen this Mitchum western. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With that title and that outfit that Mitchum is wearing I hope he isn't playing a minister in this film. Seeing him playing the Preacher in Night of the Hunter was the closet he ever came to this kind of role, but I wouldn't exactly call Mitch a man of God in that film.

The affects of her Alzheimer's was severely affecting her ability to remember her lines at this point and she struggled completing this film. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love A Face in the Crowd and I thought that Andy Griffith was fantastic in this film. I do love The Andy Griffith Show, but I found Griffith's performance in 'Crowd' so fascinating. The film is also very prescient and timely. We basically have a Lonesome Rhodes in power right now, but without any of the charm. I keep saying that 'Crowd' would make a great double feature with Network. I own both films. One night, I should just do it and watch this double feature. Network is basically Lonesome Rhodes' future 20 years later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I learned more about film from ALTERNATE OSCARS than maybe any other book I have ever read. I believe PEARY is still alive and I would love to see what updates he would make to the book, which came out waaaay back in 1991. (I still have a copy, btw, which I had to order from amazon because my original broke at the spine and fell apart.) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he updated it he would no doubt have to change the title as the Academy won't let anyone near the trademarked names or statue any longer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
