Most patricidal or matricidal cases tend to be situational: in other words, there has to be a severely dysfunctional relationship between the perpetrator and the victim. Add to that, a specifically heated moment where emotions prevail over rationality. For the aftermath about Fonda's character...

I've always felt that 2001: A Space Odyssey is like a hybrid between a conventional film and a documentary. The former because the storyline, along with its characters, is fictional. A documentary in the sense that it lacks the entertainment value (sparse dialogue, prolonged sequences) that...

(1) was probably a joke, although one can never be 100% sure when it comes to total strangers online. (2) is implying that he plans on making it an active board rather than a display site for archived threads? Hmm... Btw, still no reply yet from either D'Arc or Warner Bros.?

I think that Marilyn Monroe's career would've declined by the time she reached her 40s. Her success was largely based on her sex appeal, and Hollywood can be quite cruel towards aging actresses. And I don't really see her having enough acting ability to keep up with the competition in the 1970s...

She was attractive back in the 50s (although above isn't among her best photos, imo), but lost her looks as she got older. If I remember correctly, part of it was because of illness, but I'm sure her lifestyle also played a role. As far as the whole 'blonde bombshell' label goes, I always found...

The original Sleuth thread on IMDb has been archived and can be viewed here.

Contacting Warner Bros. is an interesting idea. I'm not entirely sure how film music licensing contracts looked like in the 1970s, but formal contracts in general tend to be basic non-specific templates with blank lines which all involved parties fill in with ink. Here is one example of how a...

As someone who still browses through IMDB v.2.0 (yes, I know it is infidelity towards IMD, but I can't help it!), I think that most of the banned members have been spammers so far. However, I am aware of three very active members with high post counts who self-deleted their accounts because...

Salzmank, upon listening to the two of them more closely this time, I think you're right about them not having similar enough voices. The difficulty (for me, at least) is that as soon as I pause one song to play the other one, I forget what the first voice sounded like, lol. Anyway, one angle...

For what it's worth, Michael Caine & Bobby Short have worked together on at least two occasions: Hannah and her Sisters (1986) & Blue Ice (1992).

Has Bobby Short been mentioned as a possible candidate? According to a 1972 article (Corpus Christi Caller Times, 2 January 1972), he "specializes in Cole Porter. He can do practically any Cole Porter song..." In fact, he released an album called "Bobby Loves Cole Porter" only a year before...

Elessar & Elanor, it seems like we all have a consensus about Bill Holden and Edward Robinson not belonging in the top 25. The thing about Robert Mitchum, for me at least, is that he didn't have a single truly iconic film unlike many of the others. He just doesn't seem like the type of person...

Hey there. Time for my first thread here! In June 1999, the American Film Institute (AFI) presented a list of the :emoji_two::emoji_five: greatest screen legends of each gender. You have probably come across the list on Wikipedia or elsewhere if you are interested in classic cinema. If not...

Sorry, I tried it a few days ago but it didn't work for me. Should've double-checked again today before asking. :)

Hey. Does XenForo software support "strikethrough" BBCode tags? Sorry, it seems to work now.

Hmm, I think I have seen Un Chien Andalou once, since it was in the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die book. Another similarly weird/artistic short film in that book is Meshes of the Afternoon (1943). It somehow made it to BBC's top 40 American movies ever in 2015. o_O

Johnnie, will there be a cut-off year to distinguish between classic cinema and modern era cinema? As far as Hollywood goes, there are multiple dates that different people use to mark the end of the 'Golden Age'. For example, the late 1940s marked the end of the studio system that dominated the...

Out of curiosity, what is the main difference between The SandBox and The Watercooler? If these two sections have a similar purpose, then perhaps they can be merged into one? If so, I think Watercooler would be the best name for it, since the term "sandbox" usually makes me think of a...

Hey! Signed up here yesterday after learning about this site from IMDb v2.0. I believe that this one has a better long-term potential from a technical aspect, as per Vojacek's explanation. Sustainability really is key.
