Buntin's book is pretty good; I picked it up after the first thread on this show. Worth a read if anyone's interested in history or true crime stories.

Like Nighthawk said in the other thread,...

Are there any Joe R. Lansdale fans here?

I want to start reading this guy, but not sure where to start... he's got a huge body of work. What's a good jumping off point novel that's a good...

I have a theory that once you have seen Naked Prey and/or The Greatest Show on Earth you will be ruined on Cornel Wilde forever.

Road House is (probably) my favourite Lupino role. Hard to...

I have always loved this fringe Western film. While Henry Fonda was never my favourite as a Western character actor, I think the vulnerability that he naturally exudes is a perfect fit here. High...

Signed! And surprised TCM hasn't yet done this... he seems to be somewhat a darling of that network. I'd love to see a nice collection.

While I like Citizen Kane, and I am able to appreciate why it's constantly topping lists, it's never been my number one. Or even in my top five. So I'm happy BFI has mixed things up a little bit......

I would too. I'd like to agree with Rick that pay-for-streaming services like Netflix would drum up more interest, but that means Netflix would have to start making some smart decisions. Their...

I can't find an isolated clip of the stock footage, but there's a full copy of Shield for Murder on youtube, so I queued it up to the stock footage:

Once you...

Caught Shield for Murder when it was on last week.

You know, it's not a terribly bad film for all its flaws (boom mike shadow in the opening scene?!) and I liked it better this time around. The...

I have a realistic (cynical) outlook about the future of film, both future and classic. Classic film fans and private foundations have been clamoring for support to restore (not just restore, but...

And then you have this, which was in the news fairly recently. Peter Jackson's new Hobbit film will be released in "a crazy number of formats: 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D, each in the traditional 24-frames...

Such a body of work for a man that died far too young!

And the list of roles he almost had is sort of amazing. On the Waterfront was written for him and I think he would have been amazing in that...

Guilty as charged! Actually, I find both Amazon and Netflix shockingly terrible at judging recommendations for me...

Castle was a genius... love him! The documentary about him is available on Netflix and used to be streaming as well. Any Castle fans who haven't seen it, check out Spine Tingler! The William...

It's interesting... I don't know how many times I've seen the film, but the violence never really stuck with me. Every time I've walked away from this movie, it's with a feeling of pervading...

That sounds excellent, actually. I love ensemble films that center around very compact plot lines, if that makes any sense. Something like The Killing or, obviously, Reservoir Dogs... a sorta...

I had to order a copy of it to pass on just so I could have someone to discuss it with (I read it on Kindle).

Despite all the glowing reviews from seemingly every publication, it managed to stay...

The Sisters Brothers, by Patrick deWitt.

I finished this last week, and the only complaint I had was that the pages went by too quickly.

A Westernoir! How's about this: it reminded me...

That's a great article... I'd see that film over Singin' anyday.

Off topic: I see from the comments there is a TCM cruise? I never knew... I'm not really the cruise type but I bet that would be a...

“…I don’t want to push my chips forward and go out and meet something I don’t understand. A man would have to put his soul at hazard. He’d have to say, ‘Okay, I’ll be a part of this...

And after that is Mitchum in The Night of the Hunter! :)

Charles Laughton's sole film as a credited director...

That's a very... realistically drawn poster!

I'm sorry to hear that the public domain copy is so bad... I love Columbia's B list.

I'd be willing to sit through a DVD transfer, but Franchot...

Yes... one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's bright young things. Those eyes!

The Unknown is available in a TCM Lon Chaney collection, which also has Laugh, Clown, Laugh for the Chaney fans out there.

She was quite the iconic 20s vamp, as well.

Not bad as a blonde bombshell.

Turns out, there was life before shoulder pads and lip liner!

Rick's back! Fantastic... I was missing this thread.
