jondaris,
Eureeka! I hope you'll let us know your opinion of them when you get a chance to watch them. As a young boy I seem to remember certain attributes that were very entertaining.

vallo, You may have hit on something. Roy did have Dale in most of his pictures which added to the chemistry and consistency of his movies. Gene had a variety of female leads opposite him. Gene used several different side-kicks too. His most frequent side-kick (and best) was Smiley Burnette. But whe...

Gene Autry or Roy Rogers . These two singing cowboys had very comparable careers. But, just like potato chips, everyone has a favorite. I grew up enjoying Roy more, and I'm not sure why. My Mom used to have some Roy Rogers 45s around the house, so that may have had an influence. But in the last few...

Speaking of Anne Francis , and why wouldn't you want to do that? I remember her being in a very short-lived TV series, Honey West in about 1966. As I recall she had some type of big cat (leopard?) as a pet and she was a detective or some-such. I watched it when it was first broadcast and I have neve...

sue sue,
I'm not exactly sure what padoodle is, but if I've got any in me I think I would want to have it scared out!

mrsl, I LOVE Air Force One . It is great fun with a wonderful cast of characters surrounding Ford. Clear and Present Danger and Patriot Games are excellent too, but a notch below Air Force One, at least for me. The most interesting thing for me about Frantic is how much of the film Ford has to carry...

And to close out Saturday night let's try a thriller on for size. I have not seen this since it came out in 1988. Can it be 19 years already? Time flies all too quickly. Date watched: 4/21/2007 Title : Frantic Made: 1988 Genre:Thriller Studio: WB Format: DVD Extras:Standard Frame only # of times vie...

Here are two ground-breaking television shows that skirt both the realms of horror and science fiction. Each show had a great introduction to get you in the mood and each explored a wide range of topics. The Twilight Zone had the advantage of having a continuous host and was 30 minutes long (except ...

jondaris, I enjoyed Dracula fowing up. It would always seem to play as the second of a TV fright night double header which means it didn't start until about 1:30 in the morning. Everyone else in the house was asleep by that time so I would always feel really isolated while watching it. It gave me a ...

moirafinnie,
Thanks for the link, I enjoyed reading the thread very much.

It's raining in Seattle (shocker) and I'm at home with a friend on Saturday night. I sense a few movies in my future! Let's start with a recent TCM offering..... Date watched: 4/21/2007 Title: Affair In Trinidad Made: 1952 Genre: Drama/Thriller Studio: Columbia Format: DVD-R Source: TCM # of times v...

Dewey 1960, I do like Lon. I made a really interesting discovery for myself last year when I purchased the Inner Sanctum Mysteries DVD collection. Somehow I had never seen any of these interesting little films. The set includes: Calling Dr. Death 1943 Weird Woman 1944 Dead Man's Eyes 1944 The Frozen...

Dewey 1960, I can appreciate every title Universal put out in the 30's and 40's in some way. They had a great collection of unique character actors that made each feature special in some way. Another picture that absolutely amazed me growing up was the Invisible Man directed by James Whale and featu...

Kismet 1955

Vincente Minnelli

Howard keel

Delores Gray

As near as I can tell he first landed in Hollywood in 1935 where his first role would have been in Crime and Punishment.
