Dr. Ed, I'm right there with you...

As far as wine is concerned, it'll cost you about $60, but find a bottle of Guarachi Cabernet Sauvignon, decant it for about 8 hours, and discover heaven in a bottle. I've been in the wine business for going on 42 years, and I've finally discovered a bottle of California cab that just blows me away!...

If I'm not mistaken, Ed Brophy (the actor) actually directed (!) a couple of these, and I think one Spanish language film still exists, but I don't remember which one. Does anyone else know?

I just received this in the mail today, so I look forward to watching it.

Tough to find:

How about

"A Devil with Women" (1930) and "Body and Soul" (1931), both early Humphrey Bogart. I've got every other film the guy made, but I've looked for forty years for these two. Any suggestions from anybody?...

Especially when the wine's good (Chateau Costello 1928). (Not the whine, mind you.)

"The Great Gatsby" (1926) with Warner Baxter, Lois Wilson, and William Powell.

However, I'd also like to see much of the lost canon of Pauline Frederick.

George was a good ol' monkey... But - weren't there two of everything? If so, did George have a Marilyn? Dolores was in a class by herself, so she doesn't count. I'm still not sure how she made the crew of the ark...

Nice sentiment!... ...and it's true...

Don't forget this is one of Clark Gable's earliest efforts, too.

Still, if I've got to watch Warren William in a pre-code, give me "Employee's Entrance"!

I have an old Grapevine Video VHS print of "The Devil's Circus".

It's a line-up all right, but they're the executioners...

I watched this last night - from the Grapevine release. This is a review I gave it on another board: One of the films elected to be put into the National Film Registry in 2005 was "The Power of the Press" (1928), directed by Frank R. Capra (sic). I watched this film last night. I was particularly in...

I think many of her short films are very much worthwhile, and they're fairly easy to access. "The Female of the Species", "The New York Hat", "The Informer", and others especially from 1912 are outstanding examples of the short film, especially from that period when it was standard fare.

Thank you. That was really good!

While they made eight other films together with such directors as David Butler and Raoul Walsh, it is the three Borzages that represent their penultimate collaboration, three movies that represent the great artistic heights possible during the late silents. "penultimate collaboration"?? That's not ...

This is fascinating! Most film lovers wouldn't have a clue to any of this, and it just gives us all a lot deeper appreciation for the age spoken about. Thanks to all, and, sorry Chris, but you'd have to be a professional historian to get it all right, and most of them don't. I can tell you from expe...

Bulldog Drummond, too. Wanna see those. Jim Yeah, of all those a few are nearly great! Then, again, a couple are some of the most god-awful John Barrymore ever made. He plays the police commissioner in about three or so of them. In one of them he's so obviously drunk and over-acting it's truly path...

I've seen all these series except the Henry Aldrich one which just doesn't interest me, and all I can say is this: diss them all you want, but then watch most of television today and you'll think that these are the near equilvalent of "Gone with the Wind"!! Some in the series are not as good as othe...

Yeah, we can have songs like "Bambina Maude": "Bambina Maude" Bambina Maude Defamed with fraud And sucked a flood Of Fatty's blood With such a thirst That history burst! So now we think In Roscoe's sink That all is utter Stuff of the gutter And he's the sap Who raped V. Rappe. And here's a toast Whe...

Bob, This is a review I wrote of the film last September when I saw it: I've edited a couple of little things... ...I watched something that really makes me excited to talk about. It's "The Three Passions" (1928), directed by Rex Ingram and starring his wife Alice Terry, along with Iván Petrovich, S...

A VHS tape was put out about fifteen years ago or so with four shorts on it. Three of them are with Carol(e) Lombard: "Matchmaking Momma", "Run, Girl, Run", and "The Campus Vamp". They have two strip technicolor moments, or are shot entirely that way, and are part of a tape called "Technicolor Senne...

Does anyone recall seeing either of these rather obscure MGM talkies on TCM or elsewhere? No particular research interest or anything like that; just pure curiosity. -Harold TCM has definitely run WISE GIRLS in recent years. Are you sure TCM has run "Wise Girls" - and not "Three Wise Girls"? The la...

Oh, is that where Rochester is? I always thought it was in Jack Benny's servant's quarters...

Rats are good if you fry them, then saute them in a spicy sauce, then cook slowly for another half hour. Nam showed the way for so many things.

Wasn't it the director of "Boyz in the Hood" that recommended BOAN to be added to the National Film Registry? I believe his argument was keep it out there as discussion point about American history. Or something like that. Ah, you mean someone who dares to NOT bury his head in the sand, for once, a...

I'd be happy to do that one in a heartbeat!

Hmm, I still have not had the "pleasure" of seeing GD but from what I read here I have an idea. Just humor me for a moment. Martin Scorsese loves film history and he really hasn't made a musical since the video for "Bad" and "NY,NY". Do you think someone could talk him into doing a remake of GD? An...
