'Dirty Girls'
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.
Randolph Scott played the handsome stranger in My Favorite Wife. Which was remade in the early '60s as Move Over Darling, with Doris Day and James Garner.
Trivia -- the remake was originally intended as a Marilyn Monroe vehicle titled Something's Got to Give. Some filming was done (I've seen footage of a scene with Monroe in a swimming pool.), but it was never completed because Monroe was fired and then died not long after.
Esquire has an appreciation for Bram Stoker's Dracula
I'm fond of that movie, even though it's a big mess. :-) It's such gorgeous, bombastic eye candy.
A friend of mine once called it "Van Helsing and the Three Stooges vs. Dracula" and I've thought of it that way ever since. But, yeah, it's a lot of fun and full of pretty.
I remember thinking Bram Stoker's Dracula was weird, but kind of enjoying the weirdness. Scott and I went to see that when we were dating. We went to a late showing, and a mother had her toddler there, which seemed wrong on several fronts.

This I knew. I remember Move Over Darling too.

This I did not know, or at least did not remember. Poor Marilyn. IMDb has an entry on it. [link]
Cindy - the IMdb you linked to was the movie I was thinking of.
edited to add: I enjoyed Bram Stoker's Dracula - it was a little crazy, but lush. A friend sort of wrinkled her nose at it and called it soft-core pron ... and I don't really see a problem with that.
The Dracula movie is inextricably linked to Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love" video in my head. ETA: Which then segue's to Bonnie Tyler's "I Need A Hero," and then to Weird Al Yankovich, in some way...
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Soooo pretty. Soooo ridiculous.
Venom isn't really what you'd call a "good" movie, but it's an unexpectedly delicious morsel of gay ambiguously-male-coded relationship comedy
Well, that actually increases my desire to see it.
Let's hear it for Tom Hardy, the man who launched Inception fandom.
This is the most interested I've ever been in seeing Venom
