Destroy All Monsters was on Svengoolie last night. I should post this under bad-movies-we-love!

I guess duplicative names were a thing for a hot minute? Berry Berry, Humbert Humbert As for the use of Berry-Berry in All Falls Down: I have always assumed the duplicate first name, was a sign of affection. One name wasn't enough to show how much they loved the child, so give him duplicate first n...

I guess I'm different. I grew up hating Fred MacMurray because of the Disney films and didn't become a fan until I saw Double Indemnity.

(and of course all of us are using "hating" very loosely).

If they showed Vietnam movies there would be so many asking why they’re showing newer movies. There is no pleasing people. True, however I have noticed TCM showing a lot of post-studio era films of late, and not that I think there's any problem with that. And now for one more comment about that sor...

William Wyler has to be right up there. I would also chose William Wyler. DODSWORTH (all the main actors) MRS. MiNIVER (Greer Garson) THE LITTLE FOXES (Bette Davis) THE HEIRESS (Olivia De Havilland) DETECTIVE STORY (most especially Eleanor Parker and Lee Grant) ROMAN HOLIDAY (Audrey Hepburn) FUNNY ...

Yea, I just googled Bree Daniels and found out she is an American porn star.

But the character's name is Berry-Berry, not Berry. The actors are just being true to the writer's creation. By the way, Evan Evans plays a role in the movie. She's one of Berry-Berry's women/victims. Gee, everyone knows all that. Still, to me it is annoying. Also, if you have read my POV all these...

William Wyler is my choice, especially for actresses. I believe the films he directed had the most nominations for best-actress, as well as wins.

I love ALL FALL DOWN. https://i.imgur.com/5kBU3MW.jpg I like All Fall Down. What I don't like is when Angela or Brandon say Berry-Berry. One Berry is enough for me.

TCM is mostly a studio-era movie channel. Most of the Vietnam war films were released after the end of the studio-era. Also, many are anti-war films, and it is my understanding most Americans view the Vietnam war as a misguided (at best), conflict by the US government. Thus, showing such films on M...

TCM will do anything to show North by Northwest ! Yea, we get North by Northwest again, as well as having to hear Berry-Berry in All Fall Down.

They have a lot of TBA on the Eva Marie Saint days, does that mean they don't know which films they will show yet? I hope one of them is A Hatful Of Rain (1957) When TCM first posts their schedule, they tend to not list the films they are leasing from other studios, so these become the TBA titles. ...

There are older Vietnam war movies, such as China Gate (1957), Flame over Vietnam (1957) and The Quiet American (1958). 1978's Go Tell the Spartans (Burt Lancaster) is one of my favorites. TCM is also showing a goodly number of fairly recent movies of all types these days, so going back to the 80's...

Worth seeing?

Yes, it is worth seeing especially given our current times.
