I absolutely agree. That's how I took it.


Your parents weren't alive in the 60s? Wow!

There are some great wonderful fantastic movies made in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s. It was way before my time, too. But, they are definitely worth checking out.

1939- Greatest movie year ever.

Can I have Montgomery Clift?!? I don't care that he was gay.

I loved him in Red River.

I wouldn't mind going with you guys too if you'd have me....


...but this ^ could be a problem. I had no idea, scranton temp liz, that you felt this way about Clark Gable (probably cause I didn't do much searching in this thread), but we may just have to fight (only kidding of course). He is so yummy . If nothing else, I will say that you have impeccable taste!

thank you very much. a younger gregory peck was nice also. So was Van johnson. I always had a crush on jimmy stewart too. come on with us, love to have you along

Hot dead actors LOL!

Since it was be actresses in my case --- give me Sandra Dee!!!

you love gidget...did you want to be moon doggie to her gidget?

Ok, I admit it. I would have liked to have been Moon Doogie!

May I have Gary Cooper and Cary Grant (and Jimmy Stewart from A Shop Around the Corner, if Bubble can spare him)? I know, I'm being greedy, but come on! How can I pick between Longfellow Deeds and Dexter Haven (and Alfed Kralik, but BW may want him too)?

That's o.k., Dawn, you can have them. I'll just take Rex Harrison from The Ghost and Mrs. Muir along with Gregory Peck . . .

She's not dead yet, but can I have Anne Francis (circa Forbidden Planet)?

I want Grace Kelly too.

If you want him, you're going to have to arm wrestle me for him.

Oh, Cate. . . . if you like Hitchcock movies, check out North By Northwest. It just doesn't get any better, . . . . except maybe Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window. . . . Now I can't make up my mind.

I just watched Unforgiven.

Now I have watched 55 out of 100 AFI Greatest American Movies of all time. Whoa!

Love the topic...

Cary Grant is amazing! Love him in Charade!!!

Rear Window is my favorite Hitchcock movie hands down...

Although, The Birds and Vertigo are pretty great!

Oh Boy!! I'll take Cary Grant, William Powell, Montgomery Clift, Paul Newman (yes, I know he's still alive ) and Buster Keaton<--- laughter is key to any successful relationship...no matter how fake

Two of my favorite Hitchcock movies! The Birds is great too- one part still freaks me out even though I've seen that movie at least 5 times (I won't say what it is though- no need to spoil the movie or anything )

The Birds is very scary...but hilarious.

I forgot, I also love Paul Newman and Robert Redford...

Anyone seen Vertigo with Jimmy Stewart?

It's not hilarious when your 10. I didn't want to go outside for days afterwards

I wasn't that impressed with The Birds, because I had read the short story first, and that was scary.

I mean, really, the birds just let them go! But, then, you realize that they let the people go, because they couldn't hide. Anywhere. The birds have taken over.

Creepy!

Fun fact- Tippy Hedren was pregnant with Melanie Griffith when she did that movie. Her character's name was Melanie, and that's where her daughter's name came from!

Rear Window is not only one of my fav. Hitchcock movies, but it's one of favorite movies of all time. This is one of Jimmy Stewarts best preformances.

Favorite Hitchcock (and one of my favorite of all time): Notorious. It is so beautifully filmed, and the suspense of the movie is builds so carefully, you almost don't notice it. I haven't seen it in a while, so I'll have to add it to my queu.

I've never seen that one. I may have to add it to my queue too....

oh I'd like to add to the list, gene kelly and donald O'conner and a young brando. You know jack lemmon wasn't bad either back in the day, neither was tony randall.

a few of my fav hitchcock, strangers on a train and rebecca

Good add

Don't know if anyone here has ever seen the movie Hit the Deck or not- but its one of my all time favorite musicals. I'm not even sure if its in print anymore- but I was fortunate to find a copy of it at my Nana's house a long time ago. Someone may have a copy of it on amazon.com- I've never checked. But if you can get it- I would definitely recommend the movie

If you want to be a true Hitchcock fan, you've got to see two of his earliest movies, they're out on DVD:

The Lodger, (1927). It's silent and The Thirty-nine Steps, (1935).

You can see how the Hitchcock style emerged. And of course, it's always fun trying to spot him in each of his films. Anyone know where he turns up in Lifeboat?

Had to go to IMDB.com to look this one up

Director Cameo: [Alfred Hitchcock] in "before" and "after" pictures in a newspaper advertisement for Reduco Obesity Slayer. The pictures were genuine, as he had just been on a crash diet (although not with the fictional Reduco) from 300 to 200 lbs. However, the so-called "Reduco Obesity Slayer" diet pill or potion ad seemed so real that audience called the studio and wrote letters to Alfred Hitchcock asking where could they get this product.

I am not a fan of musicals but I really enjoy the old Elvis movies like Liva Las Vegas or Speedway the music is great, anyone seen any? Both of my grandmas are huge Elvis fans so I think they rubbed of on me.

Yeah, I guess they had a bit of a problem considering that the entire movie took place in a lifeboat, he couldn't exactly be walking by in the background. In the actual scene, one of the characters is reading the paper and the ad is front and center.

Okay then, where is he in Rear Window?

Director Cameo: [Alfred Hitchcock] about a half hour into the film, winding the clock in the songwriter's apartment.

Am I actually suppose to know? I kinda feel like I'm cheating. I do know where he is in The Birds

Yes! Actually I'm still learning where to spot the Hitch in each of his films. Fun game, no quiz.

I love Elvis movies!

Viva Las Vegas is definitely my favorite...
I also like, Clambake, Jailhouse Rock, Live A Little Love A Little... the list goes on...
there are so many movies out there of Elvis...

Viva las Vegas and Speedway are my favorites, they have that great sixites era Elvis music.

I saw a long long time ago some great footage on a PBS show that featured vaudeville performers and they had clips of some acts doing their stuff for screen tests young sammy davis, donald o'conner, milton berle, bob hope, george burns, and many others, but it was still interesting.

I love Ann Margaret in Viva Las Vegas, I watched it all the time when I was smaller...

Wasn't Elvis married to her or dating her at one point?

I am not quite sure actually....

Dating, not married. He was only married once.

I thought he at least dated her.

That's why I said they were dating.

I meant that I was agreeing with you because I couldn't remember for sure.

Has anyone seen Rudy, I was talking to my parents and little brother and they had never seen it. I took a half-hour talking about it, I'm not the only who has seen it right?

didnt elvis date all his co stars though?

Ann Margaret and Elvis were pretty serious if I remember correctly, I think they were dating before he got married or around that time, that is why I couldn't remember if he had married her before Priscilla.

Never mind, I read it with the emphasis on "thought" and got it, *slaps forehead*.

Yeah, I read they were kinda serious. He had a rep. for being a ladies man though. That one girl he made a movie with left hollywood and became a nun in real life

I LOVE this movie ("Notorious")! Ingrid Bergman is so elegant and impassioned - but I can't believe I never knew it was a Hitchcock movie until I saw it on this board!

Now I have to make a plug for my favorite of all the Cary Grant movies - "The Bishop's Wife". I watch this every year at Christmas, and it completely captivates me.

As a sort of strange aside, this movie was filmed the same year as "It's a Wonderful Life" and almost every kid that appears in one movie appears in the other. For some reason, that is the sort of movie non-trivia that I adore.

I did something this week that I don't think I've ever done. I bought the DVD of a movie that I haven't seen yet. Everyone on here is always raving about BBC Pride & Prejudice, so when I saw the DVD on Target.com for $20, I bought it. I think I'm gonna watch it tomorrow. I really loved the book, so I'm expecting good things from the miniseries, too. Besides, 6 hours of P&P for $20? Sounds like a good deal to me.

That'll be the best $20 you ever spent . . . . well, . . . except for that time you gave a twenty to the guy with the thing over at that other place . . . . . .

Hot.

I need to read Pride and Prejudice. I don't do the whole movie watching before reading thing.

Get your mind out of the gutter. I was thinking of the guy with the clippers who gave Mutie her Britney-do. Sheesh. . . .

Ah yes, that really was worth it. I must find that guy again.

I'm really looking forward to seeing P&P. I saw the Keira Knightly version and was pretty disappointed. It was okay, but she just isn't a good Lizzie.

I was off work tonight for the first time in 5 nights so I wanted to go see a movie so I saw Reno 911!: Miami. Let's just put it this way if you like the TV show you will like the movie. Since it's a movie it has cursing and nudity so some can say it's even better but really if you enjoy the TV show you should like the movie it's good stuff for the most part. Though even if you are a fan of the show this can easily wait until DVD.

Verdict: 6.5 out of 10
