M (1931) - Fritz Lang's first talkie, a haunting study of a compulsive child killer (Peter Lorre in one of his first films) is still creepily effective all these years later. Lorre is chilling as a pathetic, tormented psychopath, who roams the streets whistling ("In the Halls of the Mountain...

Yuppers. My sophomore year. The play is different from the movie. The movie has a plot, but the show itself is virtually plotless; there's a lot of interaction between the actors and the audience. Before the show, for instance, the members of the Tribe passed out flowers to the people in...

Well, you have awesome tastes yourself!:) You mean you actually read my favorite movie posts? I have a tendency to ramble on and on (and on) about topics I enjoy. If you made it through 'em all, I congratulate you, and give you a merit badge!;) LOL, "it stars Barbra Streisand? Ringin' a...

It's amazing that Hunter was Laughton's first and only film as director. It has the look and style of someone who had been directing for years. I think Preacher is Robert Mitchum's finest performance. He was one scary dude! I especially like that long shot of Mitchum riding his horse...

Thanks!:) What a drag, they were so close, and you didn't get to see them. I'm sure they'll be back.

Could be. He's quite an aggressive feline, and was probably enjoying his victory (if it was a victory--he still ain't talkin'!)

Two of the best Bond villains ever! Yep, Bruce Glover is Crispin's dad. He was (and is) an acting teacher. Didn't make too many films (I think Diamonds was his first), but he later appeared in Walking Tall, Chinatown and Ghost World. John Gavin became the ambassador to Mexico when...

lol, I was referring to her second sentence, which states "I know this sounds awful but nowadays I don't bother going to the movies much..." And I was agreeing with her. I don't either. I think I've only seen two movies in the theater so far this year: Zodiac and Grindhouse. I'm all for...

Another thing about Diamonds Are Forever. With Lazenby out, Broccoli and Saltzman hired John Gavin (Sam Loomis in Psycho and Julius Caesar in Spartacus). Gavin would have been the first American Bond. Due to the failure of OHMSS, the producers REALLY wanted Connery, though. Finally, at the...

Yeah, why is that about movies that take place on ships? They kinda blend together:crazy: The letter scene is great! Hungerdunger, etc. Groucho: You left out a Hungerdunger...the most important one! (or something like that...)

Bond 22 is said to be based in part on two short Bond stories by Ian Fleming that haven't been filmed yet. I agree that GoldenEye is Brosnan's best. I never cared for the three that followed, although I liked Robbie Coltrane's character in this and The World is Not Enough. Casino Royale is...

The Marx Brothers' movies for Paramount were by far better than anything they did at MGM, I think. They had more freedom. At MGM, they had a champion in producer Irving Thalberg, but he died midway through their second MGM film, A Day at the Races, and from there it was downhill (although both...

It doesn't sound awful. I'm the same way about most current movies. Between 2006-present, I've only been to the theater a handful of times.

It's amazing that ALL the Oompa-Loompas in Burton's film were played by one guy!:crazy:

Sunny and breezy

A few more... Rear Window (1954) - my second favorite Hitchcock Bananas (1971) - my favorite Woody Allen film Breathless (1959) - cool Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg in Jean-Luc Godard's first feature Halloween (1978) - John Carpenter's classic horror flick The Good, the Bad & the...

I saw The Stunt Man for the first time last year. I really enjoyed it. Should probably purchase it one of these days. My Favorite Year is a good one, too! Pussycat's a fun film. You CAN'T miss with Sellers and O'Toole, especially Sellers running around in a Richard III wig, and shouting in...

I'll be coming back to this thread as well. Here, in no particular order, are 10 of my all-time favorite movies. Psycho (1960) In the late 1950s, director Alfred Hitchcock noticed that several small, independent production companies (American-International Pictures, Hammer Films) and...

Hey Randall, I'm sure you know this (as an O'Toole fan), but Becket was released last month on DVD. (and while it's certainly not in the same league as Lawrence or Lion, I enjoyed O'Toole's work in What's New, Pussycat? The scene between him and Richard Burton (his co-star in Becket) is...

Yeah, the stage version of Hair is quite different, but the movie is good, too (I played Claude when we did the show in college). What's Up, Doc? is one of my all-time faves too! Nobody that I recommend the film to has ever heard of it before! They're like, "is that with Bugs Bunny or...
