Yeah, they always give eight Oscars (including Best Picture) to the "not great" films.  lol Yeah, I was underwhelmed, even though I enjoyed it. But I know ONLY the best movie of the year EVER wins Best Picture. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |

One of my all time favourites - It showed me what I was looking for. I vividly remember my older brother getting me out of bed to come and watch this fim ' with guys kissing!' and I had to pretend to be disgusted whilst concealing the boner in my pyjamas. I'm still looking, however. | |

I'm more of a Director (Lynch, Scorcesse, Kurosawa) fan more then anything else, and I went on a Michael Powell marathon a few months ago (thanks Netflix):
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp Stairway To Heaven (amazing cinematography!) The Red Shoes (ditto!) Black Narcissus (ditto again!) Peeping Tom ( similar movie to Psycho which came out the same year) I need to re-watch his The Thief of Baghdad which I last saw when I was a kid which mesmerized me back then. All of these are on Blu-Ray or will be soon, btw. I currently have the French film, Children of Paradise, on my DVD player,I'll watch that soon. | |

Genesia said: Here we go, in no particular order: Imitation of Life - both the 1934 version (Claudette Colbert) and the Douglas Sirk from the 50s. Pretty much anything by Douglas Sirk, actually - The aforementioned Imitation of Life, plus Magnificent Obsession and All That Heaven Allows, for starters. (Rock Hudson - need I say more?) All That Heaven Allows is the movie that Far From Heaven (Julianne Moore) is based on. Elizabeth Taylor films - Butterfield 8, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and The Last Time I Saw Paris. Suddenly Last Summer and A Place in the Sun (both with Montgomery Clift). Bringing Up Baby. Cary Grant in a maribou-trimmed peignoir, yelling, "I just suddenly went GAY all of a sudden." Whatever Happened to Baby Jane - Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Ask johnart about this one - it's one of his faves. Grey Gardens - the documentary. Although the HBO movie is pretty fab, too. I suck at being gay. I haven't seen any of those. | |

Richard is a lovely, lovely man. I first met him in 2001, when he was acting in and I was an understudy for a play with the local repertory theatre. He came to the show I was in last month and just gushed over my performance. It was a little embarrassing, actually - I don't think I was that good. But it was very sweet of him.
Have you seen Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss? He's in that, too. (He plays Perry.) We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
