'Serenity'
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.
Fredric March is great in Inherit the Wind, especially in his scenes with Spencer Tracy.
I love him in Jekyl and Hyde - he's the best in that role ever. Absolutely punk rock.
He's a great comic actor too. Check out Nothing Sacred with Carole Lombard.
He's also fun in I Married A Witch.
But that doesn't mean that I don't have opinions about them anyway, dammit.
Right on! Let's have a blowhard smackdown.
Everybody express an opinion on a movie you haven't seen.
A hook for a hand!
Actually, I think it's HOOKS for HANDS. Pretty cool.
Everybody express an opinion on a movie you haven't seen.
The Birth of the Nation is racist trash, which is why I won't watch it.
Gone with the Wind is too long.
Raging Bull is nothing but a stylish exercise in brutality about a sociopath.
He's a great comic actor too. Check out Nothing Sacred with Carole Lombard.
Seconded.
I think I'm looking at the wrong list. Link please?
Transformers is a brilliant and postmodern little slice-of-life comedy.
I've seen 71. If it's a big sprawling Biblical, Western or Mob epic, I have probably not seen it.
And the omissions -- holy shit! I like Shawshank as much as the next gal and I've defended my love for Titanic right here in this very thread, but even I'm not cracked-out enough to attempt to defend bumping The Third Man and The Manchurian Candidate to make room for them. That's insane.
Also not sold on Sullivan's Travels as the lone Sturges film. They couldn't toss out Forrest Gump to make room for The Lady Eve? (Though you could also make a strong case for Palm Beach Story, Morgan's Creek or Unfaithfully Yours -- in point of fact, Sturges is on the list about four times fewer than he deserves and Gump once more than it deserves).
