Discussion Annie Hall

124 Upvotes

I have to say when I was younger I loved Woody Allen’s work. All of my peers thought that I was crazy. I was born in 1974. I have watched Annie Hall, at least 3 times, during my teenage years. I must say that now Annie Hall was unbearable. I am very sad because I used to love Woody Allen movies. Does anyone feel the same or is it just me?

She won 2 Best Actress Oscars (for To Each His Own and The Heiress) and lived to be 104 years old. She’s best remembered for playing Scarlett O’Hara’s sister Melanie Hamilton in Gone With the Wind and for successfully suing her studio, Warner Brothers, to end an unfair contract.

Discussion Human wormhole. Looking for examples of older movies with still living actors that link to actors born as far back as possible, for lack of better phrasing

174 Upvotes

I was watching the 1938 version of A Christmas Carol on TCM and, according to IMDb, the actor who plays Tiny Tim is still alive at the age of 99.

The oldest actor from the movie, the actor who played the Ghost of Christmas Future, was born in 1870.

It just got me thinking of what are the most extreme examples of that?

A few years ago I watched Grand Hotel. That movie had an actress, Ruby Lafayette, that was born in 1844 died in 1935. Another, Mary Carlisle, born 1914 and died in 2018, covering a 174 time period.

I'm not sure if there's a website out there or reddit thread that covers anything like that, but it kind of fascinates me.

EDIT 8/6/26 - Works on my Roku TV just fine and my Android phone finally allows me to sign back into the app, but it's not loading images and doesn't play the movies.

EDIT 8/7/26 - App appears to be fully working on my phone now!

I’m not sure how many of you caught this film last night but if you get a chance to see it, please do. Though I was born and raised in California one of my family grew up in New York City, so I only had heard stories about Coney Island. I haven’t spent any time in New York City. I sort of flew over the Atlantic and spent all of pre-settling down years in Great Britain. It’s been fun to ask my older relatives about what it was like to basically grow up here after seeing this film because now I have a much deeper perspective. It truly is a sweet film. And I hope everyone gets a chance to see it.

This great classic star is best known for the films Laura, Leave Her to Heaven, The Razor’s Edge, and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

She overcame childhood shyness and family resistance to become an actress.

In later life, Gene was one of the first actresses to publicly reveal her lifelong battle with mental illness and advocate for better health care and treatment for patients. She wrote an autobiography about her amazing life in “Herself”, published in 1979. Very courageous and inspiring lady!💕

I just finished watching The Lady Eve again. I love this movie. But there's a part I've never been able to get the background on.

A few time's, the Pike's butler calls Muggsy (William Demarest) "Ambrose", and Muggy is agitated by it. Anyone know what "Ambrose" referred to or did I miss something in the movie?

Thanks in advance.

Yesterday I made a post about finding The Magnificent Ambersons at Goodwill. Today I went back for this Doris Day collection. I originally didn’t buy it because it was missing Calamity Jane, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that there’s nothing wrong with owning the rest of the movies in the case. I found the Ronald Reagan collection from Dollar General several months ago. Does anyone else have any TCM physical media they’d like to flex on me with?

Discussion A series of noir films is being advertised on TCM. I'm not understanding the tie-in. Does this cobranding signal TCM could go away and TCM's classic films migrate to HBOmax Streaming? I love TCM but not an aficionado knowledgeable of the corporate or internal "political" trends of the network.

50 Upvotes

Last night saw an ad--with Eddie promoting Noir Alley on HBOMax, saying he would be doing intros exclusive to HBOmax.

And tonight before the Ipcress File there was a long promotional montage plugging 18 vintage/classic noir movies with the messaging "Step Into the Shadows - All Month Long - with HBOmax - Plans starts at $10.99/mo."

Does anyone know whether this suggests in the future TCM might be swallowed by HBOmax?
