My experience is that "one of the busier ones in Canada'' is all of them.

I worked at a movie theater as a kid, so it was probably a similar experience. But did this revelation come to anyone else, as you had your first experience with customer service? That the world is filled with people who can lose all sense of decorum and self control at the slightest of life's many little…

When I was a kid in the 80s, we heard the legend of an R-rate movie with loads of nudity that had something to do with hamburgers. So, imagine my excitement when my older brother rented Hamburger Hill… oops…

I didn't work in a fast food restaurant for my first job, but a movie theater. My uniform would come home saturated with the smell of popcorn grease (I can't touch the stuff to this day), and I always wondered… do fast food workers get equally or more greasy? I think you guys win.

Well, he rose to the rank of 1st Sergeant, according to his Wikipedia bio. That's a pretty significant enlisted rank. And the typical 1st Sergeant is about as close to the polar opposite of his TV persona as you can imagine.

Oh, and just to add an anecdote… his show apparently has a following in Europe too. While flipping through channels in Belgium and Germany, I've seen his show pop up. And this was years after his death. How many other PBS instructional shows can you say that about? His legend lives and has traveled far.

The Joy of Painting was one of those shows that you never planned to watch in advanced, but if you ran into it while flipping through channels, you sat there gently transfixed.

How about this one… don't try to fill every second of air time with commentary. This is particularly irksome on the national broadcasts of slower moving sports like baseball, where the announcers sound like know-it-alls who can't shut up for an instant. One of the best qualities of long-time Phillies announcer Harry…

Great article. But if we're discussing "dark Jimmy Stewart", we should probably note his roles in the non-Hitchcock westerns The Nakes Spur and Winchester '73. Had the directors casted a standard tough guy like John Wayne, I don't think these movies would have worked nearly as well. Stewart once again plays the…

I'm not sure we should read too much into this. From what I understand, it was organized by a rock disc jockey who apparently was bitter when his employer changed formats. A loud-mouth enticing a bunch of drunks to riot doesn't necessarily have an underlying social meaning.

The first adult job you get where you have any supervisory duties, your sympathy immediately shifts from the Deltas to Dean Wormer.

A few years ago, I got it for the first time. "Oh, it's actually all about Mr. Banks!"

Read some of the strips from the 50s and 60s. They could be quite mean-spirited. Violet was an incredible bitch.

I'm not going to scroll down to see if anyone else has nominated it… but how about Mary Poppins? I saw it again for the first time as an adult a few years ago and I realized for the first time. For all the fun the kids have with Mary and Burt, the movie is actually about Mr. Banks and his strained relationship with…

Probably one of the scariest movies ever made and it shows absolutely nothing supernatural… well, we hear supernatural stuff, but never see anything. I think we can draw a horror film maxim from The Haunting- what you don't see is always scarier.

Just watched the final scene again. Anyone else remember, Ernest Borgnine takes out about a dozen soldiers with grenades.

Since we're talking about Peckingpah, can I give a shout out to Cross of Iron? This is one of the very few English language movies about the eastern front of WWII, and for all I know, the only one from the German's perspective. Awesome film!

To be fair, she did just shoot him.

"Warm" is not a word I would use to describe Peckinpah films, unless you're referring to the blood.

I've never seen Throne of Blood (guess now I have to!), but… Jesus Christ, that was intense! Kind of reminds me of the final shoot-out in The Wild Bunch. But even Sam Peckinpah wasn't crazy or coked up enough to use real bullets in the machine gun. Kurosawa, you magnificent bastard, I salute you.
