Re: What is Your All - Time Favorite TV Series
The lists so far have nailed most of what I would put in the top spots. Especially Dick van Dyke, the Bob Newhart Show, probably Star Trek (I never missed an episode when I was growing up.) There's one show I put in a category all to itself: Green Acres. For most of its run it remained truly consist...

Re: Phillip Marlowe, 12/13/2022
I really can't imagine anyone but Dick Powell (and Claire Trevor -- as hard-boiled a dame as they come) saying those lines. I'm amazed that he was able to make this transition into things beyond the Warner Bro's musicals, but boy did he succeed! And then later on behind the camera, as well. And the ...

Re: Phillip Marlowe, 12/13/2022
I looked at the schedule and saw tonight was going to be a Philip Marlowe cornucopia. It almost seems as if it is audition night for all actors wishing to play this detective. I'll agree that Mitchum is terrific in his older years and in a version that grows a bit edgier than the others. But I still...

Sometimes it takes a couple of guys from Brooklyn -- not to mention Aaron Copland -- to get the West to sound right!

Re: Lawrence of Arabia -- Epic historical drama
I think Kingrat's explanation on the Sharif/ Begley fan dispute is probably right on the money. But Sharif was a real presence in "Lawrence of Arabia." Now, I'll say off the bat, that what I find most engrossing about LoA is the first half of the film, as Lawrence gets his mission and then...

I think it's from the Director's cut version.

Re: TCM On Demand merged with HBO Max?
I use the On Demand from our cable provider. When we lived in New Hampshire there would be a list of well over 100 movies on the TCM page. Now we're in Oklahoma and have maybe 40 on average. I checked today, LostHorizons, to see if any titles fit your description and came upon "They Were Expend...

Re: North by Northwest -- Spy Thriller
This is one I like to watch over and over for all reasons mentioned so far. I think I've got a clump of Cary Grant movies all vying for the top spot, so NBN is certainly in the running. Hitchcock keeps everything going at a brisk pace, and you never really lose the storyline throughout -- as I think...

Re: TCM announces it is sunsetting the TCM Forums
I don't wish to be uncharitable, so I simply want to reiterate that there appears to be a lot of fun and interesting stuff from both sites. And as they are both in the early stages of development, it's likely to be a bit of a wait before things settle into their appropriate, greased grooves. (I kind...

Re: TCM announces it is sunsetting the TCM Forums
Well, that's me. And I'm not surprised you don't know I'm here. I introduced myself a week or so ago, and the thread went silent. I've only posted a couple of times here, but was quite regular on the TCM boards. As I stated on the other site, there are interesting things going on over there as well ...
