And men don't face the same social pressures regarding appearance that women face, even today. Hey, some bratty teenager on a skateboard yelled back at me to get some new glasses (mine are thirteen years old and I've soldered a couple of pieces together, but they still work). Does that count as pre...

I dress like I'm homeless most of the time. I rarely agree with you, Bryce, but there's something we have in common. I mostly wear old jeans, tee shirts with no advertising, and shorts that don't hang past my knees. I have some shirts that must be at least fifteen years old. I invented the grunge l...

Hi, Carol! Great to see you're still around. Your kindness is sorely missed here and especially at TCM.

Well, he did produce We've Never Been Licked . ;-) Required viewing in college... I must confess I rarely pay attention to who produces the movies I watch, and don't know much about their personal lives, but looking at the list of his films, there are a lot of movies I love, despite WNBL . I do, how...

Two seven year old boys and Gone With the Wind.....what was she thinking? I can top that one! After a friend's birthday party, his mom piled six rowdy adolescent boys into a Pinto to see the original Charlotte's Web . Regarding The Sound of Music , I still love it after all these years. But then ag...

Carole Lombard is the only shining light among a host of pretty dark films. Not my favorite month.

...I don't always know when you're kidding and when you're playing it straight! That's the way I like it, Hollis, keeps everyone on their toes! :wink: Seriously, I'm so used to TCM's Message Boards that I expected someone to pounce all over your gentle criticism of Temple and turn this into a free-...

Careful, Hollis. :wink: It's a Coke-Pepsi, Aggie-Longhorn, Benny Goodman-Artie Shaw no-win argument when comparing the two! They each had their niche. One of these days I'll give Temple another chance.

Hollis, I was kidding about all of O'Brien's films being cinematically awe-inspiring. MGM didn't give her the best material, but she took whatever they gave her and ran with it. I'm not a fan of most child actors, either, just her, Roddy McDowell, and Peggy Ann Garner, really. While I love kids, chi...

Movies don't all have to be classics to be repeaters, do they? Certainly not in my case. I listed two great ones, but I doubt most people would consider most of my favorites among their top choices. I do, however, think all of Margaret O'Brien's films are among the greatest achievements in cinema. :D

Methinks people are naming movies they don't like rather than just plain bad movies. We're supposed to winnow out movies that might be redeemed by something outstanding. Such as Julie Andrews' singing, David Lean's direction, etc.. I would put "Citizen Kane" and "Rebel Without a Cause...

"Miss V" is a gripping WWII spy story starring the unfortunate Lola Lane. My reaction to the movie is beyond words, so here's the synopsis: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=83619 My mom had just had knee surgery and I watched it in the rehab hospital in 2005 on some obscure cable ne...

One word: comfort. I never sought comfort in eating, smoking, drinking, or drugs, and since I don't run anymore, I just plop myself in a chair instead and watch my favorites, from "Best Years" to "Mockingbird" to any O'Brien movie, preferably alone. If someone's there, all I hear...
