I figured you'd like it. Try theI saw a really good movie. Westward the women. Robert Taylor
The Sheepman, 1958 with Glen Ford and Shirley MacLaine. It's funny and certainly not boring.
Also Angel and Badman, 1947
Did you ever watch Queen Christina?
I think I did watch queen Christina. The guy didn’t know she was a girl and insisted on sharing the bedroom then was insulted she wouldn’t dress in front of him. Then they fall in love but she’s not allowed to love the guy and she gives away her power then her lover died? I didn’t love that movie.
I just watched Tick...Tick...Tick...Jim Brown George Kennedy. Good movie.
There is a great WWII movie coming to TCM. You might not like it because there is absolutely no combat scenes. It's a moving story about life on the homefront illustrating quite well that, they also serve who only stand and wait. The movie is "Since You Went Await". It was nominated for 10 academy awards and won 2. The cast includes:
Claudette Cobert
Jenifer Jones
Joseph Cotten
Shirley Temple
Monty Wolley
Robert Walker
Hattie McDaniels
Agnes Moorehead
Lionel Barrymore
Guy Madison
Kennan Wynn
Craig Steven
Ruth Roman
As a child, I remember WWII in our home. I remember the map on the wall showing advances of our troops, my brother's models of military airplanes hanging from the ceiling, the ever present fear of the telegrams, the celebration when Dad came home, the food coloring we mixed with margarine to make it look like butter, ration stamps, and Mom explaining what the flag with the gold star meant in our neighbors window. I can identify a lot with this movie, maybe some others can also. Anyway it's on TCM on May 2nd.

That was an exciting movie. I remember it now. Jim Brown was sheriff.
Most people seem to believe Garbo was a lesbian due to the fact she never married and she played mostly strong willed domineering women who more than once dressed as a man. In her day, that was unthinkable. A woman of her beauty just could not be a lesbian. Today we know different.
I love the way men attack her, apologize for being so forward, she says no, but no doesn’t mean no.
I just watched a silent film. The first one I saw had audio. Man she goes back to silent film?
I agree, however young people have always shied away from longer presentations. When I was young I hated long movies. Have you ever seen the 1963 version of Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor, 5hr 20 mins?People are shying away from films because TV one-hour presentations have shortened their attention spans.

I don't do birthdays anymore. However, when Japan surrendered, I was in the 2nd grade.

I’m watching 2001 a space odyssey. Classic. Very slow, not a lot of audio.
What planet are they on? Wasn’t the black monolith the spacemen uncovered once on earth with the moneys? Now they have uncovered it on another planet? Please explain.
Sounds like you are too close to the screen. I rarely go to a theater either. I can't stand the high volume of the sound in action adventure movies. Besides, I like older movies.I routinely watch full-length movies on television. I just won't go to a theater to see them.
I have a huge hidef TV and the picture is so clear I can see the zits on the faces of so-called beautiful people.

Some good movies on TCM tomorrow:
The Best Years of Our Lives and Pride of the Marines are probably the best, both WWII flicks. The Best Years of Our Lives is a 7 time academy award winner about life in America when the troops come home. Pride of the Marines is a biographical drama about war hero. Al Schmid.
Only Angles Have Wings is a good drama about a pilot flying the Andes in the 1930's with Cary Grant.
To Have and Have Not is the Bogie movie where he meets Bacall set during the war in Martinique. The novel's by Hemingway, script by William Faulker, and directed by Howard Hawks, so it's got to be the best movie Bogie did, but it's not. However it is still worth watching with Walter Brennan, Hogie Carmichael, and Baccal with her most famous line,
"You know you don't have to act with me, Steve. You don't have to say anything and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow"

I’ve taped a few Maureen o’Hara Movies. Right now I’m watching sinbad the sailor. Also starring Anthony Quinn and Douglas Fairbanks jr. so far really boring. I wonder what people thought in 1947.
I couldn’t even tell you what’s happening.

Good old action adventure movies made in 40's are hard to find because they depended on the action, color photograph, and location for success, not acting or the script, nor the plot.
Most people today would not consider a sword fight in living color on a ship exciting without wide screen, Dolby sound, and the ship going over a waterfall and falling into a new dimension and the mouth of a sea monster the size of earth.
In the 40's that was not only impossible but audiences did not expect it. This was a time when people went to the circus to see a real live elephant or lion. People when to the airport to watch airplanes land and take off. And in many towns the most exciting thing to do on Saturday night was to go to the movie Sinbad the Sailor or the swim meet at the municipal pool or just stay home and listen to Amos and Andy and Laurence Welk.
During this period, there are plenty of good dramas, love stories, and comedies with good plots, clever scripts and fine acting which are forever entertaining to audience. I suggest you try some these or seek newer action adventure movies.
