Members I Am A Swede Posted March 6, 2015 Author Members Share Posted March 6, 2015 "It's a far, far better thing I do than I have ever done. It's a far, far better rest I go to than I have ever known" One of the most classic lines in literature, and in movies. And this story also begins with a classic line: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DAMfan Posted March 9, 2015 Members Share Posted March 9, 2015 if you have never seen, you may want to watch A Letter to Three Wives a 1949 romantic drama film which tells the story of a woman who mails a letter to three women, telling them she has left town with one of their husbands but does not say which one.

Members Bright Eyes Posted April 30, 2015 Members Share Posted April 30, 2015 Right now I'm watching I DREAM TOO MUCH (1935) starring Lily Pons and Henry Fonda. Not even twenty minutes in there was this exchange: Fonda: I would probably beat you. Pons: Of course, but I wouldn't care. And a f*cking real live seal has showed up. What is happening ... LoL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted April 30, 2015 Members Share Posted April 30, 2015 This is also something you don't see anymore: the artistry of B/W and film noir. The image at the 12 second mark is something you can hang on the wall 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted May 14, 2015 Author Members Share Posted May 14, 2015 So, I've finally seen "Citizen Kane", the movie regarded by many critics as the greatest movie ever made, and I can't say that I agree with them. It's a good movie no doubt, but I can't say that it's the greatest movie I've ever seen. Maybe my expectations were too high, just like when I first saw another movie hailed by the critics, "Casablanca". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bright Eyes Posted December 13, 2015 Members Share Posted December 13, 2015 2015 TCM Remembers. Done too early, but to end on Maureen O'Hara makes up for it. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted May 4, 2016 Members Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Vanity Fair article about Olivia de Havilland. If you have some spare moments, you won't regret giving this a read. http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/04/olivia-de-havilland-joan-fontaine-sibling-rivalry Edited May 4, 2016 by Bright Eyes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted May 4, 2016 Author Members Share Posted May 4, 2016 A fascinating article about a true legend. That word is sometimes used a bit too frequently, but in this case it is certainly appropriate. I do think that the article was somewhat biased regarding the Olivia-Joan relationship. Yes, the article was about Olivia, so naturally it presented her point of view, but an interview with Joan had probably presented a different story, and the truth is most likely something in between the two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 4, 2016 Members Share Posted May 4, 2016 Been watching some classics. "The Awful Truth" is one. I like it but it's not one of my favorite Cary Grant movies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted May 22, 2016 Members Share Posted May 22, 2016 Thanks. That was terrific. It's kind of eerie it mentioned William Schallert though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
