I remember being shocked when Miller was nominated in the SUpporting category, although when I saw The Exorcist 20 years later, it struck me that he didn't have all that much screen time, and that it was his PRESENCE that made an impact. (I wonder why he didn't have much of a career. He was certain...

Damien, by the way, thought you might like to know that my boyf and I were in Brighton this weekend where we met a really entertaining guy from Boston who bore an uncanny resemblance - both physically and in mannerism - to one Mr E Hawke. Not the real deal, but an acceptable substitute. Joshua, ver...

Irvin, I suspect that had you seen it, Make Way For Tomorrow would also have been on all four lists.

Someone has borrowed my tape, but when I get it back I'll make you a copy of the McCarey film.

I love The Bad Seed. I wouldn't call it a great movie, but it's not a bad one. The performances of Nancy Kelly, Patty McCormack, Eileen Heckart and Henry Jones are impeccable. Magilla, I remember years ago when I was new to the board, citing The Bad Seed as a great bad movie, and you (and several o...

Magilla, for me Guilty Pleasures are movies that you know are -- objectively -- not very good, but you enjoy anyway. These constitute primarily very campy films -- for instance, I don't think I've ever been part of an audience that laughed so much as the time I saw The Love Machine in Nantucket in ...

Here's my list, Joshua. Of course, the specific placement of films is for the most part highly arbitrary, and any number of these movies could change places with any number of others. And there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of films which could very well be on the list if only I had see...

This is very clearly B.S. The Academy and PriceWaterhouse are so obsessive and paranoid about voting results that this kind of informaton would never be accessible on the accounting firm's computers. Sounds like a Gold Derby poster cying for attention.
