How sad!

Downloaded today & watching 'Lost Horizon' tonight.
1937 Frank Capra movie with Ronald Colman, Jane Wyatt and Edward Everett Horton.

Plane crash delivers a group of people to a utopia called Shangri-La.
- or are 'utopias' really all they appear to be?... ☺

Lost Horizon

Never saw that.

It sounds familiar

- Lots of excellent actors in it, it's been 're-mastered' and looks very good for a 1937.

Do you have a favorite source for these movies? Do you watch them on the computer or tv?

I use Vuze to pick them up and then it takes 45min to convert and burn the dvd, (through Vuze), although I've done it manually with the DVD maker included in Win7, but it takes longer. I use my backup computer on the home network to download the file, while I work on my main computer.

- this is what's on the backup's screen now..

-
Watch them on my Tv, although once it's downloaded you can watch it on the computer too by just clicking on the title.

Cool - thanks. I'll have to look into it.

I saw "Lost Horizon" many times, about 15 years ago.

About halfway through the film, they had to put static screen photos in for about 3 minutes (I'm guessing), because there was no complete print of the film in existence.

Did they do a fancy edit job, or did they finally find a complete print...I'll look it up on line.

- No, there's still no complete print, luckily it's not an all out action film where you have to be glued to the set every second. There's segments in the film which break up the minutes so you can fill the gaps up intuitively
- also the soundtrack for the movie is complete from beginning to end. I found the lapses didn't have too much of an impact.

Sory about the Band of Brothers guy.
That was a great series.
I just started watching Pacific.I am not sure its the same quality.

If you like Vintage movies.
Alec Guinnis is great in The Lady Killers. a riot

I rent from Netflix.
There is a film I cant find for rent.
The Emigrents with Max Vonsidow and Liv Ulman I would love to see it again.

Love the oldies, the actors were really awesome. Downloading The Lady Killers now. ☺

If I remember it also stars a young Peter Sellers.
Try Lavander Hill Mob too

Me too. way better acting, overall, compared to today. And, amazingly, actors did many movies per year, even at their height of popularity. Now, the 'big stars', do one per year, if that.

Actress Susannah York died.

Watching It Happened One Night.

- Ohh, that's a Great movie, one of the best!

The walls of Jericho!!

LOL!

Too bad about Susannah .

.. she was very pretty in her time.

- Thanks GE!

Tonight's movie at WC's!

- Jules Verne's 'Mysterious Island' ☺

Didn't know who Susannah York was, had to look her up

Loved the crab.
Suzanna was teriffic. Sweet and powerful at thye same time.British actres.

Added more HBO to my netflix list
Watched the Golden Globes.
Sons of Anarchy
Boardwalk something Steve Bescheme cant go wrong there
Barneys Version because Paul Giomatti captured my heart in Sideways.
The kids are Alright because Anette Bening is to die for.
You Dont Know Jack ,already on the list
Social Network, on the list when it was released

Yummm, 70 lbs. of REALLY fresh crabmeat !!!

What bliss and low calories too. Except for butter.

I spell it like "buttah."

Tastes better that way.

BwB = Betteh with Buttah

(...and Bacon is on the "yummy" list, too.)

(Let's hope a cardiologist isn't lurking.)

tee hee

I never watch award shows, as they are drivel, but I read about some of the barbs of the host last night and found them to be pretty funny. Offensive is fine when the targets are the phonies of Hollywood!

I doubt Gervaise will host again. He really insulted the president of the Foreign Press who sponsor the event.
How stupid is he anyway.
I dont get that kind of humor. He sounded bitter because the program he invented for England has made a great showing here and he isnt part of it.
Even Don Rickles was marginally funny.

Rock promoter Don Kirshner died.

Man they're all going.
