Re: Vietnam War essentially ignored - Again!
If they showed Vietnam movies there would be so many asking why they’re showing newer movies. There is no pleasing people. True, however I have noticed TCM showing a lot of post-studio era films of late, and not that I think there's any problem with that. And now for one more comment about that sor...

Re: Vietnam War essentially ignored - Again!
There are older Vietnam war movies, such as China Gate (1957), Flame over Vietnam (1957) and The Quiet American (1958). 1978's Go Tell the Spartans (Burt Lancaster) is one of my favorites. TCM is also showing a goodly number of fairly recent movies of all types these days, so going back to the 80's...

Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO 40 GUNS???
Just saw a new promo for Noir Alley (as if they didn't have enough of them) -- with Eddie Muller wearing some kind of 1940's camel hair coat, walking the streets of Frisco looking "tough". So silly and frankly tiresome already imo. Forgive my ignorance on these matters, but don't all thes...

Re: First Film that comes to mind...
Do you have a specific film in mind for that one? I wanna say the Indians in Stagecoach do that and Hatfield is the only one to notice the mirror shining so my answer is Stagecoach. Did I answer the movie you were thinking of? :0

Re: Garbo Day
Tonight’s showing of the Kiss on TCM will likely have another full length movie following it which is not scheduled as the time slot is listed as two hours and the Kiss is only around an hour long.

Re: AFI's 25 GREATEST MOVIE MUSICALS OF ALL TIME
GREASE ---- YUCK!!!! That one should not be on the list I would put WEST SIDE STORY (1961) much lower especially after having seen the more recent Steven Spielberg adaptation. I'd replace BEAUTY AND THE BEAST with ALADDIN (if they need an aminated movie). THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT should be on t...

Re: AFI's 25 GREATEST MOVIE MUSICALS OF ALL TIME
Les Miserables came out after this list was compiled but I’d add that. I know foreign language films are excluded but Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Hyppolit the Butler and Pabst’s Threepenny Opera are personal favorites.
