1. In a supporting role: Steel Magnolias

She was priceless in the role of Weezer.

[youthere]

6. I'd say that was probably my favorite too...

as well as one of my favorite Olympia Dukakis roles. "Everyone in Pointe Coupee Parish would give their eye teeth to take a wack at Weezer!"

After the success of From Here to Eternity, pairing Frank Sinatra with another James Jones novel made perfect sense. Set in the aftermath of World War II, the film stars Sinatra as a recently discharged soldier whose promising writing career has derailed. After a drunken card game, Sinatra finds himself aboard a bus for his Indiana hometown of Parktown, with recent acquaintance Shirley MacLaine in tow. An unrefined good-time girl, MacLaine allows her affections to settle on the hard-drinking Sinatra, who wants little to do with her as he reluctantly sets about re-establishing ties he thought to have abandoned over a decade before. These include a brother (Arthur Kennedy) unable to discard his salesman's persona, his disapproving wife (Leora Dana), and their teenage daughter (Betty Lei Keim). Meanwhile, Sinatra makes a variety of new acquaintances both respectable and otherwise, including a local gambler (Dean Martin) and a creative writing instructor (Martha Hyer) smitten with his writing and possibly with him. Shaking up the complacency of his small hometown more by accident than design, Sinatra forces all those around him to reevaluate their behavior. After a variety of smaller parts, this is the role that cemented MacLaine's name, earning her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

17. Another vote for Some Came Running

I like the Rat Pack (obviously). However, it's a really touching story with a heartbreaking ending.

<spoiler>






I couldn't help but think at the end when the other girl shows up at SM's funeral, what the f*** is she doing there?

[MonkeyFunk]

16. hard to say

I love all her movies.

But if I had to pick, I'd go with "The Children's Hour" or "The Apartment".


It would've been nice if SHE presented Warren Beatty with his award last night.

19. Postcards from the Edge

I sing the song she sang at the party all the time

[peekaloo]

20. "it TWIRLED up"

"But mother you weren't wearing any underwear".

still makes me laugh.

21. Her debut -

The Trouble With Harry is one I remember fondly. I thought it was hilarious - see if Netflix has it if you're a MacClaine fan.

22. Steel Magnolias and The Turning Point
