My favorite movie musical never makes any lists ever. I saw a summer stock production of Li'l Abner as a kid and have loved it ever since. Interestingly, Paramount Pictures backed the creation of the Broadway show (1956) with the specific intention of making a movie version. The movie (1959) kept m...

Yes, Alma is back as a Spanish name, pronounced "Ahlma." The name from the past was "you can call me Al-ma." What movie character was named Alma? I seem to remember one. Not a character, but Alma Reville was a script writer, assistant director and had various other behind the sc...

My introduction to daytime soaps was the ABC soaps. The woman that my sister & I stayed with after school recorded all of the ABC soaps. The one my sister and I liked the best was ALL MY CHILDREN. We didn't really care for GENERAL HOSPITAL. Our aunt (my mother's sister) later introduced us to D...

Devil Girl from Mars (1954) An isolated Scottish inn has as guests one night in winter: a model who is running away from her married boyfriend, a hiker who is an escaped convict, a professor who lost his way while going to investigate a meteorite, a dipsomaniac reporter doubling as the professor's ...

Both are on the list.

Well, I just noticed that 12 & 13 didn't make the image paste in, so I'm guessing Chicago is in there somewhere.

I know Moulin Rouge was 25th, but I'm not seeing Chicago on the original post.

I'd pick Chicago over Moulin Rouge.

I came across this article about David Manners. Very strange his star was removed. Has that ever happened before? I know some have been removed over the years at the Chinese, but they have limited space, while the Walk of Fame does not. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hollywood-star-removed-when-gay...

Even going back further to one of Hitchcock's silents, from 1926: The Lodger.

Who would've imagined Hitchcock to make a film about a Jack the Ripper-like character?

When I log in, I always click the "Remember Me" box, which I thought meant I wouldn't need to sign in on every visit. I believe back when I used the site more, it stayed logged in. However, for the past month or two since I've been posting again, it asks me to log in every time I return. ...

This is not opera, but operetta, from a turn of the 20th century Hungarian piece, based on an old Hungarian epic poem Janos vitez. It's an "I am" number. The character is introducing himself singing (repeatedly) "My name is, my name is, Kucorica, Kurcorica Janos." It reminds me a...

That particular scene in FRENZY gave me nightmares. When Judy opens her hotel door in VERTIGO she has no reaction. Did she already spot him out of the corner of her eye while chatting with those co-workers? I must admit I do like MARNIE even though I cannot stand Sean Connery's performance. So obno...
