I have seen both of them so many times, studied the genres and directors in college. I listened to The Third Man's soundtrack all last week in preparation.

Also, I saved Sunset Blvd (my total fav), Exodus and On the Waterfront on the DVR and just watched Bridge Over the River Kwai last week.

Maybe a William Holden night sometime? I could add Stalag 17.

Blissssssss

Sunset Blvd.

Stalag 17

Bridge over the River Kwai

Except, 2 war movies?

Sure why not 2 war movies. Those were Holden's best war flix. Add Love Is a Many Splendored Thing. William Holden, Jennifer Jones. 1950s ultra-love story which goes along with Sunset Blvd as films in the 50s. Or how about Sabrina? William Holden, Humphrey Bogart, Audry Hepburn.

Holden in the 1930s
Golden Boy---classic movie with barbara stanwyck and Lee J Cobb (based on Cliffors Odets Broadway play, I believe)

The 1940s were kind of a lull for him

My favorite Holden movie of the 50s would be:
Executive Suite--big cast, great movie- Stanwyck, Holden, june Allison, Paul Douglas, Fredrick march, lots of folks.

and then theres:
Picnic- with Kim Novak

William Holden movies are great...have a good time with whatever you choose.

Y'know, this could be another good idea for a 'theme' - picking an actor, then watch a collection of his/her movies - just at thought...

Cool I'm thinking who...hmmm, I'm thinking either Burt Lancaster, or Kirk Douglas...or maybe Edward G., or Spencer Tracy, or...oh my, this is hard...

I could do a differences in POW camps in WWII between Germany and the Pacific.

I seriously love both those movies! The element of humor in the midst of horror.

Thank you for the William Holden suggestions, I need to update my Netflix list.
This is great!

we're waiting for your actors themes comrade.

cinderella · 03-02-2010, 06:45 PM

Ok, comrade...I'll pick Burt Lancaster. And since we're doing war themes as well, how's bout...Seven Days in May (1964). Steller cast, and intriguing story, with both of my star choices: Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas.

Heres a trailer:
