and John Wayne in The Shootist

reply

Thats a fine list

reply

I'm with you on Richard Jaeckel! I loved Sometimes A Great Notion. He was fantastic! I can watch that one scene over and over and I am still on the edge of my seat.

I say Richard Burton in Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wolf. He should have gotten the Oscar.

reply

Richard as Jobie with Paul ,it was riveting.

Richard should have received more than one Oscar - one of the greatest actors.
Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf , one of my all time favorites ,a splendid dramatic film with an outstanding plot twist at the end - Richard and Liz were never better and ,yes, Burton once again should have gotten an Oscar - he was superb.- Excellent choice , Margo

reply

When you watch WAOVW now, do you notice the clues during the movie? The things that lead up to the twist at the end? I have watched it many times and I still pick up on things that are said.

reply

It has been awhile since I have seen it. As I recall , I heard somewhere about the clues so the next time I watched the movie , I did notice ,but only after the idea had been planted in my mind. Years ago when I watched it for the first time it blew me away - I had no idea- I was completely blown away.

However , I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

John Wayne for The Searchers without doubt

reply

You just won bud!! Keep doing what you do!!

reply

I have never seen The Sundowners I must seek this out

reply

Good LORD! Watch that MOVIES channel. They seem to be in love with John Wayne. There isn't a day that goes by when one of his movies isn't played.
There isn't a WEEK that goes by when you won't see Angel and the Bad Man.
Movies! That's the channel if you love John Wayne.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Sundowners , but it is not everybody's cup O' tea

Mercedes McCambridge, The Exorcist.

reply

Good call. Linda did a pretty good job of lip syncing it

reply

Ellen Burstyn- Requiem For a Dream

reply

Yeah she was excellent in that too

reply

She was excellent in that . She should have won for The Last Picture Show

reply

Milla Jovovich for resident evil franchise.

reply

no chance

reply

I know....

reply

she needs to do a TV show so we can see more of her.

reply

Comedies is not her thing...but, why not😉

reply

Not a comedy - I can see her as a detective in a crime drama or maybe as a doctor in a medical drama,

reply

She has the face and she's good at this genres...in my opinion,anyway.

reply

Milla was just on Kelly and What's His Name the other morning. It's a talk show.
I didn't stay to watch the interview though. Kelly Rippa irritates the hell out of me. She also isn't very good at interviews. She seems to like the sound of her own screechy voice.
I thought of you when I heard Milla's name though.

reply

You thought of me...i'm honored...i quess.

reply

You shouldn't be so surprised. Milla is a favorite with you. I never even heard of her until you came into my life.

reply

She's keeps a low profile...that's why she's not known by many.

reply

same here - I known a lot more about her now - she was never on my radar as an actress.

reply

I came into your life...what did you mean by that?

reply

"I came into your life...what did you mean by that?"

LOL! It means exactly what it says. I met you here on this site.
It's just my light hearted way of expressing myself.
I doubt I ever would have known anything about Milla if I hadn't met you on this site.
Understand now?

reply

Yes...i think i do...thank you.My thinking process doesn't work properly at 4 am,that's why i ask you to clarify.
