Mufasa! … Ooh, do it again.
True Classics Posted by Carrie on May 21, 2011
The Lion King (1994) remains one of the most critically-acclaimed and beloved films ever produced by Walt Disney’s animation studios. To this day, it is also the highest-grossing non-computer animated feature in history, and the most successful film to emerge from the Disney Renaissance period read more
“Of course I’m going to win … I just arranged it with God.”
True Classics Posted by Carrie on May 18, 2011
A version of this post originally appeared as a part of our series of Summer Under the Stars recommendations in August 2010. It’s being reprinted here as part of the LAMB’s “Acting School 101” tribute to Elizabeth Taylor. Growing up with horses, it’s probably a given t read more
How did they do it?
Movie Star Makeover Posted by Kay Noske on May 17, 2011

“…And you’re not going to give me any trouble about it, right?”
True Classics Posted by Nikki G on Apr 23, 2011
Back last fall when Brandie originally came up with the idea for Saturday Morning Cartoons (and used it to talk me into joining True Classics), I was telling my sister about it and her first response was, “I love The Rescuers Down Under. You should do that one.” So here you go, Sissy: a read more

Let It Ride (1989, Joe Pytka)
The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 8, 2011
I wonder how Let It Ride would play if it were competently made. Pytka’s not a terrible director, but he’s not any good either. His mediocre composition is undone by the absolutely atrocious song choices for the soundtrack. The film would probably be better with no changes other than that track read more
“At last, I’ve given the world what it needs … a good 10-cent drunk!”
True Classics Posted by Brandie on Apr 7, 2011
Two years after debuting a sparkling chemistry in 1959′s Pillow Talk, Doris Day and Rock Hudson re-teamed for another romantic comedy, Lover Come Back. Again, they were joined by Tony Randall and a slew of amusing bit players for an appealing, candy-coated concoction of wit, sex, and broad hum read more

The top ten!

I Know It's Wrong (But It Looks So Right): Women Who Shoot, Men Who Smoke
A Person in the Dark Posted by FlickChick on Jan 31, 2011
I admit I am a victim of Old Hollywood's sales pitch for evil. I fall for sin every time. I hate guns in real life and I hate cigarettes in real life, but in Reel Life, man - do they look sexy!
Girls With Guns
Joan looks very comfortable with these
Seems like overkill, but Louise handles them we read more

You Can’t Take it With You
The Best Picture Project Posted by Alyson on Dec 28, 2010
I think most people are embarrassed by their family at one point or another. It’s almost natural at some ages. But when we grow out of that and can step back and see that we love our folks for all the odd things we used to be shy about, what a great revelation. In Frank Capra’s You Can’t read more
