While reading this the first time, I pictured her as the owner of a soap (as in the cleansing kind) brand.
If I’m choosing movies I’ve already seen, then:
Psycho (1960)
A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
The Petrified Forest (1936)
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Christmas In Connecticut (1945)
Ideally, The Ten Commandments (1956) would be on the list, but in reality, including a 4-hour movie in a movie marathon is a bit much.
It’s now fashionable to be transgender to the point that there’s been a 5000% increase in self-identifying trans individuals, over 90% of them being girls aged 12-22. Nothing progressive about a social contagion based on rigid beliefs about what constitutes male and female behavior.
It’s so absurd that it’s funny.
1. Don’t Fear the Reaper
Always the haunting classic.
2. ETI
This performance is amazing:

3. What Is Quicksand?
This is from the early days when they were known as Stalk Forrest Group.
Honorable mentions: Ragamuffin Dumplin, I Love the Night, She’s As Beautiful As a Foot, Rational Passional, Hot Rails to Hell, Tenderloin, Golden Age of Leather, Mistress of the Salmon Salt, Godzilla, Burnin For You, Death Valley Nights, Veteran of the Psychic Wars, Black Blade, Monsters, The Great Sun Jester, Please Hold, Celestial the Queen, Let Go
It’s not ‘misogyny’. Simon Cowell recently became a meme because of his plastic surgery, as would any man or woman who botches their face by refusing to accept the natural aging process.
She seeks attention on social media by acting like a vacuous teenager. She can’t accept that she’s not a youth anymore and people are going to comment on it when she puts it on full display. She’s the ageist.

He’s a stud with a gorgeous smile and perfect jawline.
Possibly the most underrated musical of all time.
The conversation between Leslie Howard and Bette Davis is the best part of the movie. There are too many action-driven movies and not enough driven by thought-provoking dialogue and character development. Shootouts and car chases get stale fast.
I haven’t seen it but Secret Life of the American teenager is laughably bad and went on for 5 seasons.
There aren’t many movies made these days that are just pure fluffy fun and not totally cringe. When I was sick with Covid, I just watched Old Hollywood musicals and romcoms all week.
I love this fun, entertaining movie but a lot of people feel that Jerry and Myra were portrayed as caricatures, and I think they were on the verge. Myra doesn’t like the movie and how they were portrayed.
There’s nothing unusual about Kevin’s behavior other than the cartoonish torture of the bandits.
His family was wrong for punishing Kevin rather than Buzz. Anyone, especially a child with undeveloped impulse control, would snap after having their buttons pushed too much.
I first saw this when I was 4 or 5, so it was my first exposure to a lot of the historical bits. I just learned about Abbie Hoffman a few years ago and am just now hearing about hurricane Carmen.

But then he wouldn’t get to fulfill his sadistic fantasies.
…except for Melinda Dillon’s very obviously 80’s hairstyle.
It’s scary to think about. Same with Britney Spears.
[quote]Yes, acting was different back then, and thank god it's gotten better now.[/quote]
Uh…it has NOT gotten better. Generally speaking, acting today has a monotone and robotic quality that takes away from the conveyance of emotion. This trend seems to have come about in the 2000’s. Not to say there isn’t standout talent now. Acting was probably most natural in the 70’s-90’s era. At least dramatic style acting doesn’t take away the humanity of the characters.
As far as women go…Lynda Carter
The only thing I’ve seen him in is Christmas in Connecticut and I was immediately taken by him. So handsome and charismatic!
