ALL GOOD THINGS

Talking about movies, movies, movies. I believe movies are one of the best pleasures in life. Nothing better than watching a classic film and talking with others about them. Love the classics the most but will also talk about the newer stuff too. And covering all genres: comedy, action, horror, sci-fi, drama, musicals, etc. Will also discuss TV shows, more of the classics, but occasionally the newer stuff too. And anything else that might be on my mind. Feel free to drop by and have a chat.

Classic Movie Actor Tournament (Silent/30's Era) Semi-Final Matches

What started out with 16 competitors has quickly been whittled down to 4. The two semi-final matches will kick immediately and run through Sunday evening at 8 PM EST. Top seed Clark Gable will face the rascally James Cagney (12th seed). While juggernaut William Powell (seeded 6th) will face 7th seed swashbuckler Errol Flynn. Both look to be thrilling matches.

12 JAMES CAGNEY

SEMI-FINAL MATCH 2

I'm excited to see that James Cagney has made it this far. I honestly think he is the best actor that has ever lived. He gave Oscar-worthy performances in nearly every role he ever did. (My opinion, of course.) Even though William Holden and Gary Cooper are my #1 and #2 guys, I DO think Cagney was the all-time best. He'll have a battle with Gable, but I hope he pulls it off.

Have a wonderful day,
