ChristianGirlForever Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 You are right. Although, it much easier to smoke a lot or drink (because it's probably not liquor) take after take, but no one wants to eat food that's been sitting out for 8 hours. That makes sense. :) No, it wasn't real alcohol. In Gone With the Wind, during the celebration of Bonny Blue's birth, Clark Gable put real alcohol in Hattie McDaniel's glass!
ChristianGirlForever Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 AncillaDomini, have you seen Joseph Cotton in Shadow of a Doubt? He's amazing in that movie.
Not A Mallard Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 That makes sense. :) No, it wasn't real alcohol. In Gone With the Wind, during the celebration of Bonny Blue's birth, Clark Gable put real alcohol in Hattie McDaniel's glass! I did see Gone With the Wind earlier this year. It's quite melodramatic, but ultimately powerful with unforgettable imagery.
HopefulHeart Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 AncillaDomini, have you seen Joseph Cotton in Shadow of a Doubt? He's amazing in that movie. That is such a good movie! So suspenseful! During my brief exile from Phatmass this afternoon, I got around to watching Desk Set. It was great fun! I especially liked the scene where Spencer Tracy was giving the "quiz" to Katharine Hepburn. "Were Harry and Grace goldfish?" :smile3:
Xanti Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I'm not usually a fan of old movies, but I watched Casablanca recently, and it blew me away! Also, you folks might like the movie "The Keys of the Kingdom" from 1944. While I prefer the book version, the movie is really good too.

I have the book, but I haven't read it yet.

Not The Philosopher Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Everyone likes to talk about Bogart, but Claude Rains owns the film for me. But more importantly..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFcOqyWBKYg
Not A Mallard Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFcOqyWBKYg Wow. Movie trailers back then were much more like Honest Trailers. All that's missing is a crack about the Wicked Witch of the West.

Not The Philosopher Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I really want to see The Red Shoes! I've heard that it is very good. It's like, the best movie ever. Well, maybe not. But I like it a lot.
Not A Mallard Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 My life somehow feels more complete now that I've seen It's a Wonderful Life on the big screen.
Ancilla Domini Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 It's like, the best movie ever. Well, maybe not. But I like it a lot. I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. I'll have to watch it over Christmas break.

"Were Harry and Grace goldfish?" :smile3: I love that scene! I liked the line in that where Spencer Tracy asks Katharine Hepburn, "What's special about the phrase 'Able was I ere I saw Elba'"? And Katharine Hepburn thinks a while and then says, "Nothing." and he's about to write it down and she says, "That is, nothing aside from the fact that it's a palindrome; reads the same backwards and forwards." :smile3:

"Yes, but don't tell anyone!" "Why not?" "I'm the captain!" "I'll help you steer!" *gives an adorable Katharine Hepburn giggle*

Also, I liked the scene in which the computer is asked about whether the king of the Watusis drives a car and instead starts giving info about the 1950 movie King Solomon's Mines, which is one of my favorites. I was thinking to myself, "I can't believe I understand this 1950s pop culture reference!"
totustuus20 Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Our local movie theater is actually playing free showings of It's a Wonderful Life this weekend :) That movie is truly one of my all time favorite movies!
