1) William Demarest or Broderick Crawford?
William Demarest he was funnier and less intimidating.
2) What movies improve when seen in a state of altered consciousness? (Patrick Robbins) Although I haven't proven this theory myself, my father once told me of a trip he took to see "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" in an altered state. He said it was great.
3) Favorite studio or production company logo?
RKO
4) Celeste Holm or Joan Blondell?
I admire both women, but after just recently viewing "Gold Diggers of 1933" and "Night Nurse", I'm a huge Joan Blondell fan all the way, I can't wait to see her in more.
5) What is the most overrated "classic" film? (Tony Dayoub)
Maybe I would have a different feeling about it today, but when I first saw "The Graduate" I thought, what was the big deal? I admired the performances of the actors and the Simon and Garfunkle songs but I just never connected to the story.
6) What movie do you know for sure you saw, but have no memory of seeing? (Patricia Yokoe Cozzalio)I know I saw "Fantasia" when I was younger, I wouldn't say I don't remember seeing it at all, but I only remember elements, I would love to see it again.
7) Favorite Hammer Film? This is embarrassing but I have yet to see my first Hammer film.
8) Gregory Itzin or Joe Pantoliano? I like Joe Pantoliano, he's one of those actors that makes anything better just by being in it.
9) Create a double feature with two different movies with the same title. No remakes. (Peter Nellhaus) "Notorious" (The Hitchcock classic and the Bio of Notorious BIG)
10) Akiko Wakabayashi or Mie Hama? (Ray Young)
Mie Hama though I may be confused as to which Bond girl was which.
11) Can you think of a (non-porn) movie that informed you of the existence of a sexual act you had not known of prior? (Bob Westal) In Woody Allen's "Crimes and Misdemeanors" when Allen's sister is talking about being urinated on while in bed. I was pretty young when I saw that, and my dad was in the room with me when she said it. Needless to say he was disgusted with what I was watching.
12) Can you think of a black & white movie that might actually improve if it was in color? (Patrick Robbins) Nope
13) Favorite Pedro Almodovar Film?
I have yet to see one, I am so behind the times.
14) Kurt Raab or Udo Kier?
I guess I have to go with Udo Kier but really both of these men have not effected my life in movies all that much.
15) Worst main title song (Peter Nellhaus)
Not sure if it's the worst main title song, but Madonna's "Die another Day" has my vote for worst Bond song ever.
16) Last movie you saw in a theater? On DVD, Blu-ray or other interesting location/format? In Theatres: A Single Man
On DVD: Fahrenheit 451
17) Favorite movie reference within a Woddy Allen movie? (Larry Aydlette)
Marcel Ophuls "The Sorrow and The Pity" in "Annie Hall"
18) Mary Astor or Claudette Colbert?
Claudette Colbert was one of the great screen comedienne's plus she has one of my favorite exits ever in a movie in Lubitch's "The Smiling Lieutenant".
19) Favorite trailer (provide YouTube link if possible)?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J2fo5alMVI the kid in me came out the first time I saw it.
20) Oddest double bill you either saw or saw listed in a theater
We have no double bills nearby it's a shame really
21) Favoite Phil Karlson film? I haven't seen any of his films
22) Favorite “social problem” picture? "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town".
23) Your favourite Harryhausen film/monster? (Ali Arikan)
"Jason and The Argonauts" and the fighting skeletons
24) What was the first movie you saw with your significant other? (Patrick Robbins)
Seeing how I don't have a significant other at the moment, this question depresses me.
25) John Payne or Ronald Reagan?
John Payne
26) Movie you feel a certain pressure or obligation to see that you have not yet actually seen
Well I do feel the need to see a Hammer film or two and a film by Pedro Almadovar. One such classic film that has been on my radar for a long time is "The Red Shoes" which has so far eluded me.
27) Favorite “psychedelic” movie (Hey, man, like, define it however you want, man…)
"2001 A Space Odyssey", it's trippy, full of colors, it's about space, it's about life man, it's about why we are all here, it's about the meaning of life man yeah!
28) Thelma Ritter or Eve Arden?
Now this is actually a tough one. Do I pick Jimmy Stewart's loyal sassy cartaker in "Rear Window" or Jimmy Stewart's loyal sassy secretary in "Anatomy of a Murder"? I have to give this one to Ritter by a hair.
29) Favorite iconic shot or image from a film? Just one? There are so many! Fine if I must choose just one, I will pick the moment the flower girl realizes who The Tramp really is in the last precious seconds of "City Lights", there, are you happy?
30) What is the movie that inspired the most memorable argument you ever had about a movie? One argument came about when I decided to show friends "Do the Right Thing", thinking they would love it just as much as I did. No, it is probably the only film I've ever shown people that sparked a debate between me and the others.
31) Raquel Torres or Lupe Velez?
I remember Lupe Velez was mentioned in the very first episode of "Frasier" I can't believe I remember it, but it was funny because Velez always wanted to be remembered, so she decided to commit an extravagant suicide but it went awry. Long story short, I still remember Lupe Velez. According to IMDB Raquel Torres was in "Duck Soup" with The Marx Brothers, that gives her points, but I don't remember her, I remember Lupe Velez.
32) Favorite adaptation of Shakespeare to a film?
Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood"(AKA "Macbeth"
33) Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein (in 3D)-- yes or no?
Sure, I haven't seen it but okay!
34) Favorite movie rating?
"This Film is not yet rated"
35) Olivia Barash or Joyce Hyser?
I have no opinion about these ladies. It said on IMDB Olivia Barash was on an episode of "Night Court" I always liked that show so I'll choose her.
36) What was the movie that convinced you your favorite movie genre was your favorite movie genre? I'm not sure I have a favorite movie genre, but I do love westerns a whole bunch. I'm not sure there was a certain western that made me love it, but the films of John Ford certainly made it easier for me to choose (ie "The Searchers", "My Darling Clementine", "Stagecoach", "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" etc.)
37) Favorite Blake Edwards movie Anything he did with Peter Sellers, but "A Shot in the Dark" is by far the best.
