Is Gangsta's Paradise (based so heavily on Pastime Paradise by Stevie Wonder) sufficiently original to qualify as an original song? Don't mean to take air out of a selction, but I've always wondered.

It was deemed original enough by the Grammys for them to have awarded it "song of the year".

[Reza]

Linus Roache (Priest) is a great choice. He was brilliant in the film and should have become a big star after this film.

That's it man, game over man, game over !! (Bill Paxton as Hudson in Aliens).

Nice to see the always under-rated John Beal getting a mention, although I'm not familiar with That Night.

I believe The Wrong Man was 1956.

Also worthy of mention:
Eleanor Parker, Lizzie.

It eventually dawned on me the MD you were referring to was Mildred Dunnock. She was fine as the retiring high school teacher but she was hardly in the film. Lloyd Nolan, Arthur Kennedy and Hope Lange were the real standouts in that one, though none of them were as memorable as Mary Astor would be four years later in the otherwise atrocious Return to Peyton Place.

[Reza]

I thought Funny Face was a film everyone liked. Curiously, though, when I first saw it as a kid on a double bill with Fear Strikes Out I liked the second feature more. I've always felt the best thing about it was Kay Thompson and her song, "Think Pink".

What stuns me is not what was included - there were some very fine films recognized - but what got left out. I was sure OG would pick Kirk Douglas in Paths of Glory on his second round. I thought someone surely would pick Joanne Woodward in The Three Faces of Eve and the only reason I included Heather Sears in The Story of Esther Costello over Hope Lange in Peyton Place was because I felt confident someone else would mention Hope.

And here I thought that the MD you would choose would be Mildred Dunnock in Peyton Place
