"African Queen" & "The Lion In Winter" on Turner Classics tonight

[Kathy in Cambridge]

"The African Queen" is at 8 PM and "The Lion In Winter" is at 10 PM.

"The Lion In Winter" is awesome. Katharine Hepburn was GLORIOUS as Eleanor of Aquitaine. One of my favorite movies ever. Cast includes Peter O'Toole and Anthony Hopkins.

1. Kathryn Hepburn - all time great

did you ever see the Hepburn - Cary Grant 30s movie Bringing up Baby?

great comedy classic

[Kathy in Cambridge]

2. And "Philadelphia Story"-They had real chemistry!

Cary Grant is also one of my all time favorite actors!

3. Oh, yeah, check out in the Lion in Winter

how they give each other wrapped Christmas presents. That whole movie makes me so mad I could spit. I don't care how good the casting is.

4. Why so much anger toward a movie? Because it's not historically accurate?

it's Hollywood and it's from the '60s. :shrug:

Authenticity wasn't particularly rife within the studio system...

5. Bloody Sunday is on Sundance at 9....

An excellent film about the killing of Irish civil rights marchers in 1972,so that's what I'm watching. Those are two most excellent movies,though:)

7. You're right...

Best dialogue ever. "What shall we hang...the holly,or each other?"

8. I'd hang you on the nipples, but you might shock the children AND

What family doesn't have its little ups and downs?
