To be honest, THE ROMAN SPRING OF MRS. STONE is one of the most depressing movies you'll ever see, and Warren Beatty's attempt at an Italian accent is atrocious. (much worse than George Hamilton's from LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA). On the plus side, Vivien Leigh's chic Eternal City apartment is to die for....

It's because there is a character named Brooklyn (actually Brook Lynn) on General Hospital. Soap operas have driven the popularity of many names. One of my cousins was named after a character from DAYS OF OUR LIVES OMG, PLEASE TELL ME YOUR COUSIN IS NAMED “STEFANO.” No, she's not named after a memb...

I think Bronx sounds sexy.

THANK you KINGRAT and CINEMAINTERNATIONAL for your 1978 RUNDOWNS . Really though, in the years 1927-1999 , I would say there are obviously some INCREDIBLE YEARS like 1939 AND 40 AND 1962, some amazingly innovative years like 1971 or 1968 and some years with no great but lots of good films (1995 or ...

1.Alma is Spanish for “soul.” 2. I want for”Duane” to crack the MOST POPULAR BABY NAMES TOP TEN so bad. I'm also cheering for "Duane" or "Dwayne." As you know, in the South this can be pronounced "DEE-wayne," no matter how it's spelled. He probably has a brother Darius...

I was pleasantly surprised the first version of Show Boat made it, it is so much better than the 1951 version. Agree strongly even though I liked seeing it in color. -------- Personally, I'd yank The Wizard of Oz (1939), Cabaret (1972), Mary Poppins (1964), and definitely Moulin Rouge (2001). I kno...

Why are there no British musicals? Because I can think of several. LostHorizons explained the reason. RE: My comment that THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT should have been on the list. THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT should be on the list Afi stands for American film institute. Young Girls of Rochefort is...

Dabney Coleman, such a good actor and funny guy. I've always enjoyed his performances so much. His bad guy performances are the ones I've enjoyed best. 9 to 5, Tootsie, tv show Buffalo Bill, etc. Great career. Thanks for all the many hours of great entertainment. RIP Dabney Coleman The sweetie and ...

"I am not Emily Kimberly, the daughter of Duane and Alma Kimberly . . ."

The first time I watched the trailer I missed this glimpse of the young Elphaba:

Both are on the list.

Yes, the stage play is being split into two movies, (with Part 2 scheduled to be released around Christmas 2025. The first movie, scheduled for release around Thanksgiving 2024, will end with the show's most famous song "Defying Gravity." Per director John M. Chu: As we prepared the produc...

Intro to OLIVER! -- Bill Sikes is described as "cantankerous" Oh how amusingly "hip" and "clever"! But I am calm, I am cool, I am breathing slowly in and out, lol. Bronxgirl, I can no longer think of OLIVER! without also recalling your seeing an unfriendly Ron Moody in...
