An interesting link to two other Academy Award movie: "Tom Jones" include early performances by a young Albert Finney (plated Tom Jones) as Ed Masry in "Erin Brockovitch") and David Warner (played Mr. Blifil) as Spicer Lovejoy in "Titanic." _________________________ Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans -- John Lennon

Gatsby722 Pure Diamond Registered: Fri May 18 2001 Posts: 123698 Loc: Canton Ohio USA	I must be mad to try these Top 10 things but I'll attempt it. No special order here, either... - The Philadelphia Story - Some Like It Hot - Tootsie - I'll just glop all Woody Allen comedies together, even though a few of them weren't so great - The Mask (sorry, it kills me every time I see it) - Tom Jones...it was terrific and I would have forgotten it had I not read this thread - It Happened One Night - Singin' In The Rain (and a grand musical to boot!) - All Of Me - Parenthood (guilty pleasure) #11? All the ones I forgot but will remember later _________________________ "The best teacher is not the one who knows most but the one who is most capable of reducing knowledge to that simple compound of the obvious and wonderful." ...

rogue Mainstay Registered: Sat Apr 05 2003 Posts: 664	Quote: My three sons They've been showing reruns of this lately on a local channel. I don't watch much TV anymore but I do love reruns of the classics. Tina Cole was one of my early teen crushes, she plays Katie on My Three Sons. It wasn't a hip show when it aired and I took the kidding for watching it. I wonder whatever happened to her.

trifle Prolific Registered: Fri Dec 02 2005 Posts: 1305	I feel it is an act of betrayal to attempt merely 10 but if I can be acquitted later on the grounds of compassion for my sleep deprived brain? I'll try. 1. Third Rock From The Sun! 2. Monty Python's Flying Circus (though I was the only one in the house who loved it and it was the only rule I'd risked for a sure punishment of a 'grounding'. 3. Frasier 4. Taxi 5. Barney Miller 6. All In The Family 7. Yes Minister 8. The Adams Family 9. The Munsters 10. I can't remember the name but it had a channel of it's own...was far more disturbing than Monty Python...only aired while Parliament was in session...Darn it! Can't remember the name, all the actors sucked but it was soooo funnnny! Unfortunately, it gave me nightmares so I never could become a true fan.
