There will be extra bonus movies for just coming by. Including entertainment for all. Feel free to ask questions, copy movie links and just plain join in the fun via communication.

I LOVE Time Tunnel!! Underrated TV Series!! Thanks Tex, and thank you for your kind words. I’m on the way home to my house. My Mom was definitely more herself today—I think she recognizes me the most because I have changed the least! I still have my original RED, Strawberry Blonde hair, but all my older siblings are gray, or halfway there.

Good. Now you have every episode once you save it. Good to hear about Mom.

I’m checking out the goodies!
BTW-I’ve been wanting to tell you, the Japs lost all 4 of their carriers at Midway, not just 3. It was a phenomenal battle, but of course, primarily fought & won by air power. The Japs spent the remainder of the war being pushed back across the Pacific to Japan! Slam Dunk!! I’ve loved Battle of Midway since about 6th grade.

10 out of 10. "The Alamo" was nominated for Best Picture in 1960 and made more money than the other four Best Picture nominees combined. It's worth a look.

9 out of 10. On my way to a perfect score and #10 came along. Never seen "Spotlight". Probably should since it is a Best Picture winner.

8 of 10, and I should have gotten one of the two I missed ("Rocky").

I've never heard of "Spotlight" or Tom McCarthy.

This was pretty easy if you remember which movies were the Oscar winners.

8/10. Some I knew well, others good guesses, two missteps. Not bad.

You got 8 out of 10
You have demonstrated your film prowess! We bow before you!
Was pretty sure on several, guessed on a few. Still not bad. I'll take it.

10/10 All of my film going life, I've always considered the director more important that the actors. I often consider seeing a movie based on who directed it rather than who stars in it. As for the films made long before my time, well I watch a lot of TCM.

I sometimes wish that TCM would have Director of the Month in addition to Star of the Month because there are some directors where I love most of their films. -Hitccock, John Ford, William Wellman, George Stevens, Leo McCarey, et al.
