Streep was a lot of fun to watch in "The Devil Wears Prada." Much more fun than Anne Hathaway.

I saw"The Queen' a while back and really liked it. Everyone was always on about Princess Diana but I always wondered about the other side, so to speak. I'm sure that someone made very clear to her what was expected of her. If she didn't agree, why go through with it? OK, marriage is supposed to...

Musical scores are such an important part of the whole movie experience. Some movies don't have them, or have limited ones and they lose something, somehow. My favorites are Korngold (all those Errol Flynn epics), John Williams, Max Steiner (what would GWTW be without his score?) Bernard Hermann's H...

"Twentieth Century" was a great movie. He's also very good in a different way in "Bill of Divorcement." He's supposed to be insane and for some actors, that might have been like giving them a blank check for over-the-top lunacy, but he underplays and its amazing. He's like a hurt...

C. Aubrey Smith is the only thing that made "Morning Glory" watchable for me. It's one of the few older Katharine Hepburn movies, I really can't watch. Other good older faces: Adolphe Menjou (regardless of his politics) Sean Connery (just looks better every year) Marie Dressler Maria Opens...

Don't forget "Desire" and "A Farewell to Arms." Both good films.

I think "A Man's Castle" is in public domain, isn't it? I hope so, because i just ordered a copy from somebody on ebay...yikes

Speaking of Johnny Depp, took the kids to see the latest Pirates movie last night. Not sure I liked it--interesting mythological angle--but I think they pandered a little too much to the adrenaline junkies. But for me the most surreal moment was when Johnny Depp doing Keith Richards was on screen wi...

Hi all- Checking on from the TCM boards. This looks like it might be a fun place to be! Stars I always watch: There aren't a lot, because I'm prejudiced against war movies and westerns. I shear off from anything with words like "battle" or "squadron," "cheyenne," "...
