Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO 40 GUNS???
Don't forget about the Bebe Daniels film that was incorrectly framed (the top was at the bottom of the screen). And supposedly there was a slip up when Black Narcissus was on too. Maybe they jinxed themselves with the promo saying "we do it right"

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
And Paul Newman's illustrious debut follows: The Silver Chalice! (or as I dub it, The Silver Phallus!) :D Oh, yes, the one that he took a big ad out in one of the trade papers to apologize for after it aired on TV after he became a big star. It's a more interesting film than Warners big Helen of Tr...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
LAND OF THE PHAROAHS -- I guess every great director is entitled to make at least one bad picture in their career. "Bring the snake in a strong basket" "The gods of Egypt have spoken!" I still love the ending though. So deliciously ironic. William Faulkner worked on the script!

Restoration (1995) : Why did I even bother? what was especially weird was this came out at THE HEIGHT of MEG RYAN'S STARDOM and my sister wanted to see this SO BAD (she was a history major and loved the time period), but this was also the HEIGHT OF ANNOYING RELEASE HABITS BY "INDEPENDENT"...

Re: I Just Watched...
THANK you KINGRAT and CINEMAINTERNATIONAL for your 1978 RUNDOWNS . Really though, in the years 1927-1999 , I would say there are obviously some INCREDIBLE YEARS like 1939 AND 40 AND 1962, some amazingly innovative years like 1971 or 1968 and some years with no great but lots of good films (1995 or ...

Restoration (1995) : Why did I even bother? This is one of those films that came from the now infamous Miramax stable and, presumably due to the Weinstein battering system, took the Oscars for Art Decoration and Costume Design. The costume Oscar is more or less deserved, but the sets often tend to b...

Re: AFI's 25 GREATEST MOVIE MUSICALS OF ALL TIME
I also was surprised that there were less than a handful of post-studio-era films on this list. While musical is my least favorite film genre, as you note, what I also call the essential films were on the list (i.e. my favorite musicals). A little light with regards to Fred and Ginger but that is b...

Re: I Just Watched...
Edna is another name that should stay in the past. (And I had an aunt named that as well!) As should Eunice and Bertha and Ethel and Alma and Velma (although we once had a neighbor, now passed on, named Velma and she was a wonderful neighbor) AGREED!! Alma and Velma aren't quite as bad as the other...

Re: I Just Watched...
We have to remember that Gertrude and Ethel were the Taylor and Madison of their day. Or that Taylor and Madison will once seem as absurdly old-fashioned as Gertrude and Ethel do now. +1 Heather Just looked the name Heather up. It entered the top 200 names for girls in the US in 1963, and exited sa...

Re: I Just Watched...
Yes, I had a great-aunt named Gertrude, an aunt named Ethel. My parents were introduced by a woman named Edna. When I was looking up Max Showalter, his parents were Ira and Elma Showalter. We have to remember that Gertrude and Ethel were the Taylor and Madison of their day. Or that Taylor and Madis...

Re: AFI's 25 GREATEST MOVIE MUSICALS OF ALL TIME
All in all, this is the best list from AFT I've ever seen. Sure, it's not mine, but it's not heavily weighted toward recent films, and it includes some essential films. I also was surprised that there were less than a handful of post-studio-era films on this list. While musical is my least favorite...
