While I haven't seen these episodes, I am glad to see in these comments a strong fan base for The Middle. My wife refuses to watch it, loves Modern Family, which I do enjoy (especially when it's on Full Farce mode), but something about The Middle makes it seem more classic and timeless… Like today's Dick Van Dyke…

Those are exactly the ones I meant. I changed wording of original post to clarify.

Yeah didja know his Hands of Orlac (1924) is also on Amazon Prime? I saw it on TCM a long time ago, well worth watching.

Rufus T Firefly, leader of Freedonia in Duck Soup.., next stop leader of the Free World. Why can't that count?

Damn you you took my comment. Couldn't agree more. And… It is so… German Expressionismy! If you don't know what that is, this will teach you. It is so weirdly unreal with those obviously painted backgrounds and crooked narrow walls… hyper unreal.

Up vote for Wow. Nothing like a personal link to make this stuff more real than fiction.

Woah. Nice.

Yup just you.

My favorite part of Lolita, the Literature, has nothing to to with sex and repression and salaciousness. It was this incredible 2 page single paragraph travelogue describing his thoughts seeing and responding to middle America with Nymphet in tow. Haven't read the book in years but that is what still most resonates.

I think Jennifer Connelly circa Once Upon a Time in America woulda been the Perfect Nymphet.

Gotta admit, I was always disappointed by the Limelight Chaplin Keaton scene. As awesome as it was seeing them in the Same Frame… Keaton just seemed underused, falling on the floor to little effect, it seemed Chaplain wanted to get him on stage, but don't upstage Him!

I loved this special, did not think it was too long, my stomach literally hurt from laughing out loud too much. They put a lot of money into this! My favorite scenes…

Agreed, but you're gonna wait a long time. I've had the Kino pre MGM complete DVD set since 2002, my most viewed collection, my own viewings and now with my kids, now that they are old enough for me to share with them and them to appreciate him. My younger daughter, 10 yrs old, frequently brings up the amazing bridge…

I remember some decades earlier, The Kid had a lesser reputation due to its… "Pathos". All I can tell you is in the last year I showed The Kid… To My kids. They loved it. They love The Circus and Modern Times even more as they've requested repeated viewings of those… But this movie holds up again and again.

Thanks. I was pretty close eh? Wikipedia Knows All. At least… There's a Fleischer involved!

Wait, what? Fletcher Studios still exists?! Who's the Fleischer?! What have they been doing these past 70 years? Hiding in a closet? Or in a mid Manhattan PO Box just profiting off their depression era stuff? I want answers!

Upvote for Coal Black reference! This is an amazing, historic, well animated, often funny, and damn racist WB cartoon that is still worth watching keeping it in its historic context. On YouTube go see it.

Just a month ago I saw Wild Bunch again, it's been about 5 yrs since prior viewing, via the directors cut Blu ray. I get more out of this movie each time.

I've been watching classic Xfiles with my Geek in Training teenage daughter these past few months as prep for the new series, which we are All In and enjoying big time. She thinks Mulder is Hot, both 90s and Current version. And for the first time, for any Thing, she has become all about Shippin! She wants to know…

I saw T2 a few months back with my Geek in Training teenage daughter, not long after seeing the original. Cool thing was… She knew NOTHING about the movie going in and was truly and genuinely SURPRISED when Arnie turned out to be the Good Bot. It was great to experience that with her… and makes me wonder if my…
