Hi, MissGoddess! What films you like depends, very much, on: who you are, what you like / don't like, who you are as a person, which views you have on different topics, how you have been raised, when you saw the movie during your life, under what conditions you saw it (here I could list a milelong l...

The Searchers (1956)
I found the VHS copy of " The Searchers " which I'd taped off TV quite a few years ago. As it turned out, I'd forgotten about 90% or more of the movie. I was afraid the print would be in 4:3 pan & scan, but it turned out to be in widescreen letterbox (I assume the video's not anamorphi...

Some reasons
Hi Anne You're wrong. I'm very interested in western movies. I wouldn't have seen or bought that many of them if I weren't would I? I 'm not sure why westerns appeal to me. They're exotic to me. They portray a landscape I've never seen with my own eyes. But, at the same time, those Rocky Mountains r...

Happy and pleased customer!!
My bad luck turned to good! I just looked in the mail box and what did I find? " The Man From Laramie "! I now retract my negative comments concerning moviemars.com. They righted their wrong, and fast! I can now consider the trash comedy a bonus, no matter how bad a bonus/movie it is. The ...

I'd ordered these films: Bend of the River The Naked Spur The Man from Laramie Land of the Pharaohs Imagine my big disappointment when i found a movie I hadn't ordered on to...

Ann-Margret story.
Thank you very much, John M, for your story!
It was great!
May I share the story with other Ann-Margret fans in the Yahoo! Group 'annmargret'?

I won't make a list until I've seen these titles which I have on order: Bend of the River (1952) The Naked Spur (1953) The Man from Laramie (1955) River of No Return (1954) (I've read it's weak, but it's got Robert Mitchum) Yes, think of all those Robert Mitchum westerns I've never seen, like: Pursu...

My 5 favourite musicals at the moment.
I tend to appreciate musicals which have better plots, are very cinematic, have great songs + songs more naturally integrated in the plot. As you can see below, the plot isn't always a main concern of mine in musicals. 1. Viva Las Vegas (1964) Not a good plot, but a beautiful Ann-Margret , the on-sc...

Home from the Hill (1960), part of Robert Mitchum Sign. Coll
Watched using a Dell computer, equipped with a NEC DVD RW ND3520A player + Dell 17" 4:3 screen. The film I like the film. Beautiful photography. Robert Mitchum gives us one of his best performances. I found Eleanor Parker's acting irritable. She never convinced me. If the tone she uses is meant...

Movies... and what about Danny Kaye?
Hi, Bogie! Yes, I'm the only classic movie buff in my family. I have a brother. He likes movies, but don't share my taste in them. I believe he liked White Heat , though... And, he agreed that Virginia Mayo turns in a very good performance in this one. In the early nineties some of Danny Kaye 's 194...

RE: worst films I've seen
Well, I have to mention I'd already compiled a list of 78 films I don't enjoy.
So, the (maybe hard) task will be to pick out 25 from all those.
Sincerely
movieman

The editing of my list
I updated my list too. Set some of them to the numbers 1-9 in order of preference. "Preference" will in this case mean: in terms of overall quality / style. I don't like numbering them like this. One of my all time favourites: "Viva Las Vegas" was left unnumbered because it's har...
