Chris Grieb Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 One of the most unusual Christmas movies has just finished on TCM.I am talking about The Night of the Hunter. The last scene is on Christmas day. It's has a psycho killer played to perfection by Robert Mitchum.It is wonderfully stylized movieIt was directed by Charles Laughton. It was not a success at the time of its release but has become a cult classicCharles Laughton did like the child actors and was unable to direct them. That task was taken by Robert Mitchum who got great performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Let's not forget Meet John Doe, any Gary cooper movie works for me.If you like Gary Cooper's movies, I'd recommend one called "The Fountainhead". It's an adaptation of a novel by some Russian woman.Best regardsAdrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even saw the one with Barara Stanwick where Gene Krupa played "Drum Bogee" on a matchbox with two matches. Had something to do with fire if I rember correctly.

galtgulch Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 When I was a little boy I remember only one part of a movie I saw on TV. The scene involved a man who got stuck under a truck he was trying to work underneath. What made the scene so gripping and frightening was that as the truck weighed down on him it also caused the tube (?) of a tire to balloon out in more than one direction. I don't remember what happened and I don't know who the actor was either. I was alone in the house watching it and I just remember being frightened. I wonder if anyone here recalls the movie. Sorry I don't have more clues. galt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
