You're quick Kyle, I just saw that and copied it to show it around here, but you beat me to it. They're getting tough!

I've said this before on that other board but I don't mind repeating. My favorite all time sci-fi is 'Them'. I adore James Whitmore in this, and cry every time when he gets killed. Jack Burley, Marco, or Vitini or whatever found cause to tease me because I said the sound of crickets scared me for mo...

I loved the Twilight Zone. I never (and still don't) pay attention to names of shows but I have huge remembrances of many of the shows, and the guest stars who were in them: Anne Francis - the mannequin who comes to life one night a year. Burgess Meredith - the book reader who breaks his glasses Agn...

Chris (cinemalover) Except for Air Force One , this is one of my favorite Harrison Ford movies. I like Hans Solo and Indiana Jones, but when Harrison grew up is when I really started to like him. It's unfortunate that he's fallen back into a second childhood lately. But when he started doing the Tom...

Mr. Arkadin:

This is why I don't comment on horror as a rule. I don't mean to offend anyone, and thankfully I didn't offend you. The few horror films I have seen have turned me off so completely, that I see very little of them, so I'm no fair judge.

Thank you for your reassurance.

Mr. Arkadin: Speaking strictly of the 50's, the horror movies I've seen are among others, The Thing, The Blob, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Mr. Sardonicus, and most of the Vincent Price gothic movies. I may be wrong, but to me these are horror movies. When a scene cuts away from somebody screamin...

Judith: As for me, it depends a lot on what is going on at the moment. If all my bills are paid, I'm in contact with all my friends and relatives, nobody is sick, etc. I can watch musicals all day. However, if someone I love is ill, or I see another bombing at a school (or shooting) or a bombing in ...

This movie has been tops with my for a long time. I seem to recall seeing it on the big screen, although I can't imagine how, or why. This is one I can't understand why people don't use it as an arguing point when discussing Franks' acting abilities. He's so sympathetic to Shirley through it all whi...

I know I sound like a shrew but I think most of the stuff they play on TCM Underground fits into this category. Plan 9 and Pussycat and all that stuff is the worst. You know I think most horror is garbage and TCM seems to find the worst to televise. Now sci-fi is an entirely different genre. Horror ...

Roman Holiday

This is on of the first Essential movies I've watched in a long time. So many recently have been repeats from recent weeks that I just didn't feel like watching again. Roman Holiday is just a terrific movie. It could have been just a 'cute little movie' but the stars and the director, and the scener...

This Happy Breed

Last time this was on, I only caught about the last quarter of it, but this time I watched it from start to finish. What a good movie this is. I was sorry it didn't go on. I wanted to know if the guys made it back. I never cared for Robert Newton, and I still don't but he did a good job in this one....

Next, I'll learn that you're a Microsoft stockholder, and you've got season tickets to Lambeau Field! Mad

Around my family we call that LOmbeau field.

My sons and I have our own private little 'hate the Packers' clique.

My Lost Love

I'm going to make this statement, although I don't want to dwell on this, and unless someone requests a reply, I'll stay off the subject. For the past week, I've had a kind of depressed feeling and didn't know what it was. Now I do. All week I've been checking in on TCM but only responded once or tw...

I absolutely love this site, I don't miss the TCM one at all. I go there every day just to see if anything is interesting, and notice that some of you post there, but don't copy your posts to here. I wish you would. I am confused however, are we going to abandon this site and return to TCM? Or are w...
