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.

It's PAUL NEWMAN vs SIDNEY POITIER for the last spot in the FINAL FOUR...

Sidney Poitier had to go into a tie-breaker match with Peter O'Toole and he won 10-7. The question asked of the films the two men made with Katherine Hepburn...Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and The Lion In Winter, which one do you most like. Well Guess Who won out and now Sidney gets to face top seed Paul Newman for the last spot in the men's final four. These two men were good friends in real life and made the movie Paris Blues in 1961. So this should be a very interesting match. Cary Grant, William Holden and William Powell await the winner of this match. Voting becomes immediately and will run through Thursday 8PM EST. Good luck to both men.

I'm glad Sidney Poitier made it. He's probably a long-shot, but who would have thought William Powell would have beat out Clark Gable.; July 5, 2011 at 10:40 PM

ClassicBecky said...: I agree with Patti and Kalli -- Lemmon was a greater actor than given credit for by many people. My vote has to go Sidney, much as I like Paul.; July 6, 2011 at 3:34 AM
