Are you tired of auctions for millionaires only where the items have a
round up the usual suspects feel to them, and there is a pay retail or
you can't buy philosophy behind the auctions, and the same items return to
the auction block over and over and over? Well, we have the antidote for

MoPo has been quiet of late, so I thought I would ask a question that has
been on my mind of late, as I have been re-watching some classic and not so
classic movies.
I find some of them are about as great as I remembered them, but others seem
to have changed drastically (or maybe it is I who have
Just an update to let anyone shipping to Canada know that they can now resume
doing so. The federal government passed back-to-work legislation over the
weekend and Canada Post is now back in service. The USPS has also announced
that it is once again accepting mail bound for Canada.
I think we will all probably have some titles that were so classic and
wonderful yet when re watching and our tatses changed over the years we look
upon them fondly yet realise how dated or poor these films were.
I love the old Hammer films yet when I re-watch them I realise how poor they

Charade. When I re-watched it a few months ago I found the whole production
cheap-looking and the acting wooden, to say the least. (Matter of fact, I can
say the same for a lot of movies from the mid-sixties.) The best

When I was in college, Mae West and W.C. Fields and The Marx Broethers
had a revival among students my age. I remember seeing some of these
movies for the first time at revival houses and loved them. Seeing some
of these now (not all), I realize that they certainly have their moments
but are
Thought someone might be interested.
Thanks very much,

My respect for DeMille has increased since I have been reading Scott Eyman's

Hi, wrote another blog: http://hazardousoperations.wordpress.com
I wrote something on Blood and Sand. I am not entirely sure if the onesheet
pictured is an original one or a rerelease. It's not important for the text,
but I was curious.
Best,

But who cares? What is a classic other than someone's idea of what a classic
is. Good acting it is not, but I would rather watch it than
THE WILD ONE which is alleged to have good acting (from roughly the same
period, I can name a hundred other examples
if you wish!)

I'm an adult now so I guess I care. We agree on one thing: THE WILD ONE
is awful all around including the acting. FRANC

What is poor about the majority of the Hammer films?
Some of the films are not great, but they are not all poor by any means. Some
of the Hammer films, I think, are great. For one, the Hammer (1958) Dracula is
excellent.
The Hammer films are what they were meant to be, entertaining.

I agree with Dave that Charade is virtually unwatchable. I checked it out
recently after having fond memories and couldn't believe how SLOW it was. And
with that cast! Dave's correct to say that the entire enterprise looked as if
it'd been made super-cheap.In contrast, every time I see it
It seems to me it is the sexy films of the late 1960s that have aged the
worst of all. They are not really sexy by today's standards, and they are so
massively dated in their values that I would say most of them are almost
completely unwatchable (although there are of course exceptions).

Well, The Seven Year Itch was mid-50s rather than late-60s.To be honest, last
time I saw that film (admittedly 5 years ago) I quite enjoyed it. The main
problem for me was that all the available versions in the UK were horribly
panned scanned with a shocking image quality. That said, Tom
Jack Lemmon was up for the Tom Ewell role in Seven Year Itch and it's a shame
he didn't get it because he'd have been perfect.
About the dress: It's not of interest because of the movie but because of the
uber-famous still of Marilyn over the subway grate. I daresay millions (maybe
billions)
Well sexy and the 60's doesn't really make me think of US films. I think much
more was happening in Europe when it came to sexy and being relevant of course
there was the ultra-sexy Anne Bankcroft in The Graduate which seems to be a
timeless film with so much still going for it.
