(Aside to Hoodlum) Uh, Rex Harrison.

Yes, Rex did the movie.

Just watched Casablanca for the first time in awhile.

Today’s movies just aren’t near the same quality as the old movies.

I point out to my students that Casablanca is one of the greatest film love stories during which noone got naked.

I’m glad to hear that. Good to know someone is passing their knowledge to the next generation!

my grandfather came from casablanca...

Very Cool.

I watched The Great Excape today.

Big "guy movie" day on cable: Rocky films, Great Escape, Red October, River Kwai.

Yes, I was tuned in...TCM

Then went out to dinner with wife.
Did not want to leave but did.

Raisin in the Sun this afternoon//TCM...always enjoyable.

Just finished watching "The Longest Day"

John Wayne and many others in bit parts but all heavy.

Not at all a fan of the Nazi anything , but did enjoy how it was portrayed very well, how the mistakes German officers made, helped the cause of the main attack on Normandy.

Just watched The Man With The Golden Arm

Great movie

Frank Sinatra??

Yes sir Hood. In my opinion probably his greatest big screen performance.

Saw it a few months ago on TCM..that dame he was with was hot too.

Just watched an entire day of Marlene Dietrich movies on & off …..she was some gal.....quite creamy if I might say.

Double Indemnity is probably the oldest movie I've watched. I generally don't watch anything made before the 70s.

It was pretty good.

I guess the earliest talking movie I've watched has been The Cocoanuts with the Marx Brothers. That was 1929. I think the best really old talkie is the original King Kong (1933). I'll watch that any time I see it's on.

Great film noir. I love those 1940's-50s noir films

I agree about Double Indemnity.

I love those crime noir films as well.

TCM showing Oscar award winners all month. So far I've seen The Lost Weekend, Wait Until Dark and The Third Man and The French Connection which I've seen before but always like it.

Nice Gio..... I gotta check that out.

Dues never saw Lost Weekend??..& the Third Man has 1 of the greatest weird guitar tracks of all time not 2 mention my wife's obsession of constant reminding that it is Orson Welles that is the culprit(alas.spoilor alert)…..".Wait" is also great..but ..Gio..must love also Double Indemnity w/ Barbara (yum) Stanyck ..always loved her in her prime..so hot..god forbid when I was a kid, if she showed a little bit of leg ,I was glued 2 the tv set..always wondering what was further up that skirt..

I agree Hood. Barbara Stanwyk is a smoke show. I think Double Indemnity is the only thing I can remember seeing her in. I guess because I've seen it a lot. One of the best noir films ever made.

Watching "Lifeboat" w/ William Bendix & Tallulah Bankhead....TCM..very engaging film..young ppl oughta watch this flick 2 c how the human mind works when treachery sets in...a fine example of desperate measures in human psyhcology ..not 2 mention that Bankhead was a classy creamy dish back then..they don't make them like that anymore...Hume Cronyn also starred & Hitchcock directed.

It has been years since I’ve seen that movie. If I recall, isn’t that the movie where in true Hitchcock style, where he made a brief appearance and most of his films, there’s a newspaper floating in the water that happens they have Alfred Hitchcock‘s picture on it? 😂

TIS

Yes TIS... that is his doing & 2 true Hitchcock stylisms.

Saw "Mighty Joe Young" after work last night & am I the only 1 who thinks it is spectacular & maybe superior to King Kong...the effects r more realistic..in the nightclub , the drunken gorilla throws a lion all the way across the room & the lion flies into a dining table for 4 & gets right back up after sliding a few feet just like a cat would. Fantastic.

Best Years Of Our Lives.

Rips my guts out every time but I love it.

U gotta b kiddin' me Dues...I love that movie..seen it @ least 7 times...the dude w/ the arm(claw)..playing piano....& the young girl testing her parents love is so heartwarming..that is 1 of my favorite flicks of all time.
