MissGodess:

So glad you are a fan. After Moira you are one of the few I have found who enjoy it. And now Charlie. It's great.

With the recent death of Rostropovich I am looking forward to listening to his Bach Cello Suites again.

I hope we will get to talk of music again.

In "One Week" be sure to watch carefully as he does a gag that will become very famous later when it is done on a bigger scale. The way they use that house is amazing. You are in for a good time.

Sorry you've been sick. I just got over a sinus problem that lasted about two weeks. It was not fun.

As far as a hint, it was someone they worked with.

Those are amazing. You are truly gifted. I'm amazed you have time to create them with your busy schedule.

Mike: I have recently seen "Go West" and "Three Ages" and enjoyed them very much. Like you "Seven Chances" and "Our Hospitality" are among my favorite comedies of all. One gag from "The General" that really gets to my family is almost a subtle one. I...

I do like classical music too, though it tends to bring me down a bit so I listen to it sparingly. Miss G As a classical music lover I'm curious to know what brings you down. I find most of Beethoven, Brahms and a good deal of Baroque music to be quite the opposite. Granted there are plenty of pice...

I think it's a fine idea. (The TCM board had a thread locked over this.) I'm a little surprised there aren't more of the live action Disney films. This may be a product of a short time on the contract. If they could get hold of "The Shaggy Dog" or something like that then it would be even ...

Sandy: I have the DVD of "The Quiet Man" and the colors are a bit bright. I imagine you'll be able to let that go and enjoy the movie. Besides if you get from the library and you can't watch it all it has cost is the time to get it. If you're willing to watch some westerns here are a few y...

Mike: I thought one of the best "Prime Suspects" was an entry called "The Lost Child." It's is similar to the type of episode you describe. It involves the death of a child where a local pedophile is thought to have committed the crime. I thought the acting, especially by the sup...

Some films to enjoy that don't fit Wayne's primary genres are: (Times are Eastern time.) "The Long Voyage Home" - 22nd at 9:00am. His part is small but it's a good sea drama. Directed by John Ford. "Without Reservations" - 23rd/24th at 4:00am. Nice little comedy with Claudette Co...

John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, Spencer Tracy, Cary Grant,
Jean Arthur, Ginger Rogers. Directors - John Ford and Hitchcock.

Up to a certain point in their career Laurel and Hardy. Mainly as I have seen their later works and when the studios took away their creativity it was pretty sad.

I watched the film again over the weekend just for this discussion. The one thing I noticed about Hallie asking Pompey to get Tom as Rance had a gun and was going to meet Liberty left me with the idea that she really meant for Tom to talk Rance out of doing anything. They all had been trying to get ...

I hated National Treasure too. The longer it went the more ridiculous it became. The last half hour is so goofy that I couldn't even finish it.
