or am I just that old or he's that young???
That one. But, you know... me too!
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

Matt, I know that scene and I know who Burt Lancaster is, but off hand I wouldn't have remembered that was him.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Burt Lancaster to me is The Crimson Pirate, and Local Hero, and that weird movie where he was swimming home through all the pools in his town, or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
oh! The Crimson Pirate! my sister and I nearly drove our mother crazy when one of the local TV stations was showing it over and over and over again ... and we had to watch every. single. showing.
There's a kind of companion movie called The Flame and the Arrow - he plays kind of a William Tell (super archer) fighting to free his people (Lombards if I remember correctly) from their cruel overlords.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'd like to add Trapeze, where he got to use his acrobatic training. The plot itself is fairly standard run-of-the-mill romantic triangle stuff. On the other hand, Lancaster, Tony Curtis, and Gina Lollobrigida play the sides of the triangle while wearing circus acrobat costumes. So there's at least a lot of eye candy.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The Crimson Pirate for sure. Plus he was Moonlight Graham in Field of Dreams.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Now that I need to see. Never even heard of it. I like weird movies.

Yes! The Swimmer. Thank you.
And also yes! The Trapeze! I thought I might have imagined that one, but Curtis and Lollobrigida brought it back. Liked The Flame and the Arrow, yes, but Crimson Pirate was better--less plot, more acrobatics. I loved his wee sidekick Ojo/Piccolo, played by Nick Cravat. They tried to out-acrobat each other. Rumor was, his character was mute because Nick's NJ accent was immutable and so unsuitable for the roles.
