I was the same as you, not thinking it was for me at all. Thank goodness I gave them a try. It's enriched my life, particularly, to have a blog and be in the CMBA.

I don't think he could be a bad actor even if he tried. Thanks to TCM and my DVR I have been able to watch more of his work and fall in love with him every time. My favorite has to be His Girl Friday. He is absolutely wonderful in that movie.Simply Singinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858609280797164893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-3156722070728184132011-11-22T07:20:05.484-05:002011-11-22T07:20:05.484-05:00Page: here here to the Kindle and to Amazon!

Without it so many treasures would be lost or beyond repair. <br />Every year we are given new films that we assumed were forever lost. <br /><br />I'm also thankful for Amazon and Kindle books. It's given me an easy way to get into reading again and interested in books on old Hollywood now that I can actually see the font. (My apologies to all of the books on my shelves that will continue to get ignored)<br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-28889628258183154892011-11-22T05:41:00.291-05:002011-11-22T05:41:00.291-05:00FlickChick,

I don't think anyone will be surprised if I say Here, Here to Cary Grant! As I was reading I was saying to myself, "I would have Cary on my list" and here he is.<br /><br />I adore the DVR! I have gotten so much of my life back with skipping hours of commercials and FF things.<br /><br />Thank Goodness for TCM now that AMC has gone off the deep end. Knowing that Robert Osborne will be back soon is another good thing. <br /><br />This was a very clever way to give thanks going into the holiday. I couldn't agree more with your selections. <br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving and I to must say that getting to know bloggers like yourself is another reason to be thankful this holiday season.<br />We really do have a great bunch!<br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-7754763116894185322011-11-22T04:57:14.536-05:002011-11-22T04:57:14.536-05:00Lady Eve - Amazon is definitely lurking in the win...Lady Eve - Amazon is definitely lurking in the wings (in fact, should we include on-line shopping in general?

I might list Lubitsch instead of Wilder (who was his protege and as such remains on the list by proxy) and Amazon.com instead of EBay...minor quibbles.

I am also grateful to Kevin Brownlow, David Gill, the National Film Preservation Foundation and the unnamed individuals who have kept silent films in the popular consciousness for over a quarter of a century. I also appreciate the easy access to classic films on TCM, since the local venues that once screened these gems have shifted the focus to “art films”. I don’t think I could better express my admiration for the trio of amazing men you mentioned: Wilder, Hitchcock and Grant each embody cinematic joy. Best wishes to you and your family for a Happy Thanksgiving.whistlingypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06126688373252306609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-44379477136250731282011-11-21T17:31:16.634-05:002011-11-21T17:31:16.634-05:00Heavenly days, FlickChick, how did you manage to n...Heavenly days, FlickChick, how did you manage to nail virtually all the movie-related things I like in one blog post? :-) Seriously, you were pretty much spot-on with all my likes, especially Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Robert Osborne (who really is looking good these days, bless him), and Louise Brooks. Lovely list, my friend; you have impeccable taste!
