(Sir) Anthony Hopkins – There is a 1978 movie called “Magic” he made with Ann Margret. I really liked it! He plays a disturbed ventriloquist with a creepy wooden dummy. (Of course, he later went on to do many better movies…..paging Hannibal Lecter) ;)

Speaking of Hannibal Lecter, Have you ever watched the NBC show Hannibal.

scene from season 2, there any really good copies available, the camera's they use to shoot their show, give such brilliance to the visuals, you really have to see the show to understand and I don't mean because of the gore, I'm not really fascinated by that part of in the least, but the actors on the show are spectacular.

All the ROAD movies with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope.

I think these are great and very hilarious, altho somewhat dubious in political correctness, but they were made in the 40s, what can we expect?
 

All movies were made in the context of their times.Our grandchildren like these films , especially the road to Bali [I think] where Bob Hope has to be a deep sea diver for treasure.
 
There's one called " Bubble Boy"...it stars Jake Gyllenhaal when he was very young

Note to Phil, you might definitely enjoy it. Calling it a bit offbeat is an understatement. But it gets sillier every time I see it.
 
Airplane for sure. Just watched it a few weeks ago and still makes me laugh even though I know what's coming.
Young Frankenstein, a classic along with Blazing Saddles.

I love this movie, AC! Watched it only twice, but would again if it came on TV. Not the most popular one to rerun I guess.:shrug:

Great movie - watched it many, many times because I was into conjuring at the time.

The novel was even better. Of course, it didn't have Ann Margret in it ...

"Hey, schmucko - you was thinkin' of HER, wasn't ya?'" - Fats was really creepy.
 
Did not Cliff Robertson do a thing once in which he played a ventriloquist, the dummy came to run his very life? Maybe this was a Twilight Zone. Not sure. Scary, though. Robertson made a number of Twilight Zones, including one where he was teleported from about mid-1800s to mid 1900's, astounded and frightened by vehicles on a super-highway. imp
 
I love any Cary Grant movie...and most anything with Jack Nicholson. Doris Day and Rock Hudson...who can resist. Bette Davis movies.."All About Eve" a fave..I've seen it countless times. I liked George Sanders in that a lot too. "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with Audrey Hepburn. I remember seeing her in "The Nun's Story" when I was a kid and I came home and told my mom I wanted to be a nun ( that lasted a week).

"Alfie" with Michael Caine
"Ryan's Daughter" with Sara Miles, James Mitchum
" The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" with Maggie Smith
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" Taylor/Burton
"The Apartment" Shirley McLaine, Jack Lemmon
"Heartburn" Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson

i am a sucker for old romantic comedies...and I like Clark Gable/Carole Lombard movies.

Yes, he did.

"The Dummy" - and the dummy's name was Willie.

Not to be confused with "Caesar and Me", another episode with Jackie Cooper as a ventriloquist, and the dummy's name was Little Caesar.



Yeah, I carry this kind of stuff around in my head, but can't remember my phone number. :(

i remember both of these..good stuff.
 
I've never seen "The Bird Cage"; I'll have to check it out sometime. Lots of people said they re-watched it right after Robin Williams died.
