The Towering Inferno

next: Is that actor taking off his shirt again?

The lists so far have nailed most of what I would put in the top spots. Especially Dick van Dyke, the Bob Newhart Show, probably Star Trek (I never missed an episode when I was growing up.) There's one show I put in a category all to itself: Green Acres. For most of its run it remained truly consist...

I really can't imagine anyone but Dick Powell (and Claire Trevor -- as hard-boiled a dame as they come) saying those lines. I'm amazed that he was able to make this transition into things beyond the Warner Bro's musicals, but boy did he succeed! And then later on behind the camera, as well. And the ...

I looked at the schedule and saw tonight was going to be a Philip Marlowe cornucopia. It almost seems as if it is audition night for all actors wishing to play this detective. I'll agree that Mitchum is terrific in his older years and in a version that grows a bit edgier than the others. But I still...

Casablanca?

Next: Pudding

Sometimes it takes a couple of guys from Brooklyn -- not to mention Aaron Copland -- to get the West to sound right!

I think Kingrat's explanation on the Sharif/ Begley fan dispute is probably right on the money. But Sharif was a real presence in "Lawrence of Arabia." Now, I'll say off the bat, that what I find most engrossing about LoA is the first half of the film, as Lawrence gets his mission and then...

Steve Cochran

Next: Questionable Redhead. (I used to have red hair myself until it all turned white)

I'll go "A Star is Born". (1954)

Next: Escalators

Footlight Parade (1933)

next: featuring an eggbeater

I think it's from the Director's cut version.

I use the On Demand from our cable provider. When we lived in New Hampshire there would be a list of well over 100 movies on the TCM page. Now we're in Oklahoma and have maybe 40 on average. I checked today, LostHorizons, to see if any titles fit your description and came upon "They Were Expend...

This is one I like to watch over and over for all reasons mentioned so far. I think I've got a clump of Cary Grant movies all vying for the top spot, so NBN is certainly in the running. Hitchcock keeps everything going at a brisk pace, and you never really lose the storyline throughout -- as I think...

I don't wish to be uncharitable, so I simply want to reiterate that there appears to be a lot of fun and interesting stuff from both sites. And as they are both in the early stages of development, it's likely to be a bit of a wait before things settle into their appropriate, greased grooves. (I kind...

Well, that's me. And I'm not surprised you don't know I'm here. I introduced myself a week or so ago, and the thread went silent. I've only posted a couple of times here, but was quite regular on the TCM boards. As I stated on the other site, there are interesting things going on over there as well ...
