Re: What Horror and Sc-Fi films have you seen lately?
Destroy All Monsters was on Svengoolie last night. I should post this under bad-movies-we-love!

Re: July 2024 Schedule Posted, Eva Marie Saint is SOTM
I guess duplicative names were a thing for a hot minute? Berry Berry, Humbert Humbert As for the use of Berry-Berry in All Falls Down: I have always assumed the duplicate first name, was a sign of affection. One name wasn't enough to show how much they loved the child, so give him duplicate first n...

Re: Coming up on TCM...
I guess I'm different. I grew up hating Fred MacMurray because of the Disney films and didn't become a fan until I saw Double Indemnity.
(and of course all of us are using "hating" very loosely).

Re: Vietnam War essentially ignored - Again!
If they showed Vietnam movies there would be so many asking why they’re showing newer movies. There is no pleasing people. True, however I have noticed TCM showing a lot of post-studio era films of late, and not that I think there's any problem with that. And now for one more comment about that sor...

Re: Which director had the most "greatest performances" of an actor
William Wyler has to be right up there. I would also chose William Wyler. DODSWORTH (all the main actors) MRS. MiNIVER (Greer Garson) THE LITTLE FOXES (Bette Davis) THE HEIRESS (Olivia De Havilland) DETECTIVE STORY (most especially Eleanor Parker and Lee Grant) ROMAN HOLIDAY (Audrey Hepburn) FUNNY ...

Re: July 2024 Schedule Posted, Eva Marie Saint is SOTM
But the character's name is Berry-Berry, not Berry. The actors are just being true to the writer's creation. By the way, Evan Evans plays a role in the movie. She's one of Berry-Berry's women/victims. Gee, everyone knows all that. Still, to me it is annoying. Also, if you have read my POV all these...

I love ALL FALL DOWN. https://i.imgur.com/5kBU3MW.jpg I like All Fall Down. What I don't like is when Angela or Brandon say Berry-Berry. One Berry is enough for me.

Re: Vietnam War essentially ignored - Again!
TCM is mostly a studio-era movie channel. Most of the Vietnam war films were released after the end of the studio-era. Also, many are anti-war films, and it is my understanding most Americans view the Vietnam war as a misguided (at best), conflict by the US government. Thus, showing such films on M...

Re: July 2024 Schedule Posted, Eva Marie Saint is SOTM
They have a lot of TBA on the Eva Marie Saint days, does that mean they don't know which films they will show yet? I hope one of them is A Hatful Of Rain (1957) When TCM first posts their schedule, they tend to not list the films they are leasing from other studios, so these become the TBA titles. ...

Re: Vietnam War essentially ignored - Again!
There are older Vietnam war movies, such as China Gate (1957), Flame over Vietnam (1957) and The Quiet American (1958). 1978's Go Tell the Spartans (Burt Lancaster) is one of my favorites. TCM is also showing a goodly number of fairly recent movies of all types these days, so going back to the 80's...
