<-- Loved Gaslight.

Heather ???

I saw that you watched Gaslight?

Your thoughts?!?

Wow. I'm very surprised. To me, it's the last half that really makes the film, that's where Scarlett begins to grow as a person, finds her strength, that's where I truly get into the nuance of it!

Heather - I look forward to your thoughts on it, since you'll be looking at it with "fresh" eyes.

( Also, I assume you've never read the book, right? )

I totally admit to loving Vivian Leigh in this part ( and in most of her roles ) but I found her to really capture the evolution of Scarlett and the fact that she did so without trying to "soften"...

My girlfriend and I have started a tradition that we watch GWTW on Thanksgiving after dinner. It's a once a year watch for us. She'd never seen it before and really enjoyed it the first time (...

Gosh, this is so interesting to me.

Jean, did you read the book first? And then see the movie? I saw the movie first and then read the book and didn't like the book all that much. Obviously,...

:lol:

Sam, I understand some folks can't get into it, and the three hour length can be daunting .. but you have to admit it's a classic. I happen to think it's gangbusters great, but that's me. I...

Well... you have to see Gone With The Wind ... it's a classic.

And I absolutely love Captain Blood with Errol Flynn.

Gone With The Wind? :couple:

Really, she's wonderful and worth the watch, always. Even when the movie isn't that great ... she brings a dignity and grace to the film.

Oh, you can't go wrong with Livvy, Heather. She's a real talent. Very under-rated as an actress. Really, she lifts everything she's in.

Pam, I can compare Kurosawa to ANY director. Not only can I, but I invariably do. I just can't help it. True they make different films, but Bergman just never could seem to capture my emotions the...

Sam - I would find it really hard to compare Kurosawa and Bergman. They make very different kinds of films.

Feev - I think Fanny and Alexander is probably the most well known of Bergman's films,...

I saw it years ago, Feev, on VHS. Bergman's stuff is .... amazing.

Heather!! :couple: Amazing, right? So incredibly visual and textured. Anytime someone mentions to me how much they enjoyed Citizen Kane and the cinematography, etc. I always, always, recommend they...

Sam!! :couple:

I love, love, love the original Operation Petticoat!! Which, of course reminded me of Houseboat. Which also reminds me of Gunga Din.

Cary Grant. :sigh: So iconic, so smooth, so...

Thanks Pam. Do you know if it's available on dvd? So far I've only been able to find it in a Welles box set that's pretty expensive.[/QUOTE]

Gosh, now that I'm thinking of it - I recall seeing...

Oh, well, I wasn't sure if we were counting films from the UK as foreign or not. You know - foreign language film or from any other country than the US. If we are counting the UK ... I have about a...

Actually, I'm sitting here and just a million more movies are popping into my head.....
