Re: Atypical Movies
I believe that: Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (1990) is very atypical. I feel that intelligent comedies are rare and this is one of the best. It is atypical in that we are seeing characters in a play when they are not on stage. I do not mean by this that we see characters who are actors. T...

Re: All alone in this vast wilderness
First and foremost, Masha where are you that your movies are so different from ours? Is it a language barrier perhaps, or simply that the movies you are familiar with have not been mentioned? I am sorry to say that I do not know simple answer to that. I believed that all knew of my background becau...

Re: Atypical Movies
One more silent movie which is atypical is: The Cameraman’s Revenge (1911). The plot is very typical for the era in that stories of wandering spouses were quite popular. What I feel is very atypical is the species of the characters. I believe it is outrageously atypical in that it depicts inter-spec...

Re: Atypical Movies
To remain for the nonce in silent era: Raja Harishchandra (1913) is credited as first feature-length movie made in India. It is the story of a king who gives his kingdom to a sage. I believe it qualifies as atypical because male actors fill female roles. This was due to belief that it was improper f...

Re: Atypical Movies
My knowledge of the silent era is so terrible. Thanks for posting this! I am sorry to have to say that I believe that I have not expanded your knowledge of silent movies in any significant manner. I have watched many silent movies and this is very much unlike any of them. :) This is clip of typical...

Atypical Movies
I have this thread in TCM forum but I bring it here also. I hope that those who have dual-citizenship here and there do not mind repetition. I know of no other board to place this other than: General Chat because I do not wish to limit to one genre or source. I wish to discuss movies which are not t...

Re: Actor Harrison Ford recovering from plane crash
I feel that it is wonderful that he had no serious injury. There is now plethora of photoshopped images on Internet now of him dressed as Han Solo sitting in airplane or other references to him or other Star Wars characters as being involved in crash. There are many takes also of scene from one of h...

Re: All alone in this vast wilderness
I am concerned of: JackFavell. I find no presence of her here or in TCM forum since early December. I do hope that all is well with her. I am sorry to say that I feel limited in posting. The only thread to which I feel that I can make substantial contribution is: Domestic Feline. I believe this is b...
