I’m with you @j_w_pepper. THE THIRD MAN is a stone-cold classic. I seem to recall (and you may know better), that there is actually a museum in Vienna solely dedicated to the film and its’ history. Somewhere up-thread I also gave the film my reco…

Given that her role in taking down Drax was classified, Ms. Goodhead never officially fulfilled her wish to be “America’s first woman into space.” And with that honor going to Sally Ride in 1983 – a full four years later – she started to drink heavi…

It was announced this week that actress Sharon Acker has died (earlier on March 16th). A fixture on 1960s and 1970s US television (STAR TREK, GET SMART, THE WILD WILD WEST, etc..) she was also in one of my favorite neo-film noirs POINT BLANK (1967) …

Thru @Murdock's selections (and with the requested modification by @007ClassicBondFan for TB to be his 5th pick), the updated standings show Macca's post Beatle band is now ahead. Film/Song #Mentions Points * LALD - Paul Mccartney & Wings 1…

As someone that has had to care for a loved one while they suffered with Alzheimer’s disease, this update on the passing of Raquel Welch is all the more heart breaking. That such a strong, intelligent and vibrant woman could be afflicted with a dise…

I will update my spreadsheet as new postings come in. With @007ClassicBondFan's selections, Live and Let Die is now tied with Nobody does It Better. Question for the group: How strictly do you want to enforce the "song" requirement, as the theme …

I'm relieved that this community has been able to get you through that @Benny as the online world can often be a place that only adds to our anger and sorry. As others have shared, you are in my thoughts.

Thru LeonardPine we have had 22 participants - and assuming that each person actually ranked their five picks - I assigned 5 pts to their 1st rank 1, 4 pts to their 2nd rank, etc.. Sorry about the formatting. Film/Song/#Mentions/Points * TSWLM (N…

@j_w_pepper. While most folks have listed their selections in ranked order, I wouldn't assume that everyone has (or will). It, therefore, might be better to tabulate the number of times a song has been mentioned. If this is OK with everyone, I'll…

Issue solved. :)) :)) :))

Glad you enjoyed DRAMATIC SCHOOL @ToTheRight. Interesting casting with Gale Sondergaard as just two years later she would be taking vengeance on Betty Davis in THE LETTER. And speaking of Ms. Davis, I just finished another watch of ALL ABOUT E…
