Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And how many actors have ever had the kind of year Colbert had in '34? Besides the Cleopatra Hec described (which I've yet to see, unfortunately), she also did Imitation of Life and It Happened One Night.

It was a pretty kickass year for her. I think Claude Rains probably had a year like that. He was in more classics than just about any other character actor I can think of: Robin Hood, Casablanca, Notorious, The Invisible Man (where he was the lead, of course)...

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I bet Peter Sellers had a year like that in the 60s.

Dr. Strangeglove, The World of Henry Orient and A Shot In The Dark in '64. Not quite the same level.

Rains has Now, Voyager and Casablanca in '42. Other than that his big ones were spread out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dr. Strangeglove, The World of Henry Orient and A Shot In The Dark in '64. Not quite the same level.

Yeah, but Dr. Strangelove gets counted three times.

And almost would have been four had he not "broken" his foot.

I'm pretty sure ND went to see it, but he never comes in this thread.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Can't argue with Sellers in '64.

Yeah, but Dr. Strangelove gets counted three times.

And so does It Happened One Night -- Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress Oscars.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And so does It Happened One Night -- Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress Oscars.

I don't think that's how he was counting (Strangelove was nommed for 4 Oscars) -- but rather that Sellers was three characters.
