Re: Duel in the Sun

I just watched (most of) this movie for the first time and may I just say: "Oh... my.. goodness". I don't know why in the WORLD I never made the effort to see this film before. I missed the beginning this time.. but I caught most of it and can only say.. WOWSA.. what a story.. and I really...

Re: This Is the END

Oh me, oh MY, I just re-watched The Third Man this evening (for a little change of pace) and wowsa!! I had forgotten how marvelously WONDERFUL it is to hate that despicable Harry Lime! ha. What a GREAT ending that film has.. (MAJOR SPOILER) and it's definitely a great ENDING for that rotten Harry LI...

Re: The March 2014 Schedule for TCM

A special tribute to America's Sweetheart, Shirley Temple HI Miss Applegate.. I am so glad they did this.. What a nice way to honor her. I even got to watch a "new" Shirley (at least new to me, ha) I had never seen (or heard of Stow Away" before and I L-O-V-E loved it. Sweet little m...

Re: Letter from an Unknown Woman

...like all really great movies it changes and grows with the passage of time, and familiarity does not breed contempt! Perhaps the main way it and I have changed is in my view of the idea of Romantic. Critics and fans often refer to Ophuls as a Romantic, but after spending so much time with this f...

Re: This Is the END

SOLD! ha.. Miss G.. we have a winner. (see.. a category for every occasion) And even though I am no big "fan" for Ms Taylor, your description of the loss of her character in this movie sounds very moving indeed. I may have to check it out.. if I can ever get past poor Joan Fontaine in the ...

Re: Letter from an Unknown Woman

Look here. Nobody "puts" up with you. It appears you have no idea how valuable you are here. Like so many you bring a perception all your own. Besides look at the discussion you've renewed.. Well Mr. Movieman.. you are nicer to me than I deserve because in truth I just like to gab and bla...

Re: Letter from an Unknown Woman

Well HELLO again, Miss Maven, I have to say, after re-reading through this thread.. and then reading your comments from today (along with Jackie's too) I just want to say thank you again, for the great tip on such an intriguing film. I appreciate your kind words regarding my post from last night too...

Re: Letter from an Unknown Woman

Well, Miss Maven (Ms Favell, Miss G.. and Mr. ChiO,) May I just say "Wowsa". Thanks very much for the recommendation on this one. I am glad to have seen it, though I must confess to you it was not at all what I was expecting.. and yet, I think that it makes it all the more intriguing. It i...

Re: This Is the END

Ha.. Jackie, when I posted the first time, they had not quite gotten to that part yet. She laughed out loud. And then when the lady's undergarment went floating through the store too... ha. I am glad she is getting a kick out of it. And you are right.. how he ever managed that walk was really someth...

Re: This Is the END

Just thought of one of the---for me---most heartbreaking deaths---Elizabeth Taylor in THE LAST TIME I SAW PARIS. How would it be categorized, though? It's not "Too Good/Innocent" because she had her faults and made mistakes...it wasn't "fate" because how she died was rather need...

Re: This Is the END

Ro, you've certainly got your hands full with all these categories! I have to say, your titles for each category had me laughing hard! Especially THE TALKING DEAD. :D I keep trying to come up with one category, but it's pretty much the same as black comedy or one of the others - the dead who won't ...
