Re: Essential?
Of the four, I would consider only TWENTIETH CENTURY to be essential. To some extent, whether one likes it or thinks it's funny is irrelevant, at least in my conception of "essential" (I can think of a number of films that I'm not crazy about, but I'd still consider essential because of th...

but William Conrad has a chance to shine as he "goes rogue" Isn't he wonderful in -30- ? He makes poor David Nelson look like a deer caught in the headlights. And slap me upside the head, but watching the clip from THE D.I. made me think of Barney Fife and Sgt. Carter ( GOMER PYLE, U.S.M....

Saw this episode for the umpteenth time tonight and it still causes my jaw to drop.

What did Dennis do that was memorable, except for THE LEOPARD MAN Perhaps it's just a trivial matter of taste, but: HANGMEN ALSO DIE!

Re: Fellini's Roma (1972)
I'd suggest starting with I VITELLONI (1953) to get a feel for the early, neo-realistic Fellini , followed by 8-1/2 (1963) because it falls into the dreaded "Oh, you really should see it" category. But you really should see it. There are several others worth viewing, but those two should g...

Re: Bad Movies You Love
Ann B. Davis talks about The Keefe Brasselle Show and more here. It provides a couple of clues as to the love for Keefe.I remember reading years ago that Keefe was one of the most disliked people in show biz -- can't recall the details, though.

Re: Favorite TV Shows
Why is swearing "realistic"? Is it because swearing actually occurs? Sure it does. But not swearing also occurs. I frequently go through days without hearing anyone swear (well, except on TV). I find it fascinating that we often think of things that generally are in poor taste (e.g., swear...
