I hate, loathe and abominate Lawrence of Arabia despite loving epic films and Peter O'Toole. It was agony to get through once and the very thought of ever having to see any piece of it again gives me the heebie jeebies.

The whole thing works because of the restraint used by all involved. These are decent people who stumble into an untenable situation and never get so swept up in it that they lose their perception of who they are. Which makes their struggle all the more compelling. Beautifully played by Howard, directed by Lean and…

Gee I know after sitting on a hard uncomfortable chair in a conference room all day the very first thing I want to do when I get out is go to a restaurant that looks identical and pay for them to bring me food while sitting in the same back-breaking seats.

While it's not my favorite Hitchcock it is one of his top films because of his sly use of the ordinary to show how quickly things can turn when one element is added, in this case Uncle Charlie.

It's true Ray looked for the dark underside in most every setting and managed to get some of the best actors around to enact them. Another really excellent film of his that should be better known is The Lusty Men set on the rodeo circuit that stars Robert Mitchum, Susan Hayward and Arthur Kennedy. All three are just…

She's not physically right for it but Keira has been doing great work of late so she could make it work. Does Streisand's directing mean that she's finally abandoned the totally awful idea of playing Mama Rose in Gypsy, a role that she would have been ideal for….25 years ago. I hope so.

Glad to see the spotlight put Garfield's way, he's my favorite Golden Age male star and all his movies not matter how formula are worth checking out.

What this and the Barbara Stanwyck/Clifton Webb Titanic got right that Cameron didn't even come close to was the very real divide between the classes in 1912. DiCaprio zipped around that ship like it was easy access everywhere. All three are good films but this one has the details, as they were known at the time, down

I LOVED the Dick Clark era Pyramid shows because they required skillful playing and contestants, and celebrity players, with brains and cognitive thinking capabilities. They kept the glitz down to a minimum so that when the contestants hit the big money there truly was a sense of excitement, there were no flashing…

Yeesh! I only made it to AH and had to stop, I was getting motion sickness.

Both are fine interpretations but vastly different. I say Judy's is the stronger because she gets the underlying sorrow into the song as well as the yearning hope.

Yes to this entire article!

Hey your entitled to your opinion to not like Sinatra, I personally prefer Bing Crosby, but to say Sinatra one of the great song interpreters has no character in his voice is just asinine.

If they could find some way to have him in a similar situation to that Sean Connery played in Last Crusade and find a believable actor to play his son/nephew/what have you and not the total screw up they made with Shia LeBouf and a decent story then there's no reason Ford can't come back as Indy. True Connery wasn't…

He has a great challenge to improve on the 70's star studded, magnificently furbished and costumed Lumet masterpiece. The style could be replicated or redesigned with new flair but I don't know if he can gather the same level of legendary performers. That's a big chunk of the first's allure.

I'm all for remakes of films that have the germ of a good idea but don't turn out quite right but once the filmmakers get the elements to work-STOP!, the multiple tries at The Maltese Falcon and then the sensible leaving it alone is a good example. That's why the recent news that there is a remake of Stranger on a…

All those actresses were wonderful and all would have brought something worthwhile to the film but none of them could have handled that breakneck patter as well as Roz. Lombard would probably have come closest but her essence always had a daffier edge than Russell's and that more grounded vibe was essential for making…

I didn't love Repulsion, it was too unsettling for that, but I appreciated the craftsmenship of it. It's beautifully directed and Catherine Deneuve!!!!!!!!!!! My God she's shattering. So amazingly good it's puzzling how she was ignored at the Oscars that year. Despite my adoration for Julie Christie and her work in…

I knew it was a long shot but I had hoped they might ask her about the short lived TV series All is Forgiven where she was truly brilliant as whirling dervish Nicolette Bingham. If it had lasted longer it surely would have been one of her signature roles.

A tough survivor who didn't shrink from a challenge as when she took on Confidential magazine for libelous slander and emerged victorious.
