Re: DVD Conversion Software-what do you use?

I rip the discs, add them to my home server so we can stream them anywhere we want, then put the disc back in the box in a closet, never to see the light of day again...unless something happens where I have to rip it again. :) Same here - for personal, in-house use only of CDs that I've purchased. ...

Re: NOW PLAYING (100 YEARS AGO)

Too bad that Back Home and Broke (1922) is presumed lost 'cause it sounds like a good story. Was it ever remade?

Re: Familiar faces, new forum

I have increased the "recent topics" section to display 25 instead of 5 of the most recent topics. That should help as well. Right now I'm looking to see if there's a way to not show the moderators at the top of every post/forum. I'm here everyday, but mostly lurk in the TCM area, so hadn...

Re: I Just Watched...

I hope you get to see the documentary Max Steiner , directed by Diana Friedenberg, recently shown on TCM. It is outstanding I was disappointed after I viewed it. To me, there was little reflecting that he was much else than a workaholic. Other things I've seen and read about him indicate that he wa...

Re: TCM announces it is sunsetting the TCM Forums

Really sad. Was up late last night & again early this morning on a death watch. Made an effort to not be the last poster since I mostly just lurked daily for the past 17 years and that wouldn't have been right.

Re: Casablanca

It is never revealed why Rick cannot return to America. Julius J. Epstein later said that "my brother (Philip G. Epstein) and I tried very hard to come up with a reason why Rick couldn't return to America. But nothing seemed right, so we decided not to give a reason at all." Parking ticke...

Re: portrait of jennie

Both trailers also emphasize the locations of the movies: New York City for A PORTRAIT OF JENNIE and Chicago for THE LAKE HOUSE. As someone from the Chicago area, I love seeing Sandra Bullock riding the CTA el, Keanu Reeves running to a departing Metra train and the cars driving down Lake Shore Dri...

Never thought about the shared aspects of both movies, but you're right. Very fond of both of them.

Re: Classic Movie Trailers

El Cid (1961) - epic movie that I haven't seen but would like to. Seems like that would have been a natural for TCM.
