My son was John Adams in his school's production of 1776.

He told me that and I thought "Well that is probably a pretty good part... Adams was pretty important."

It wasn't until the actual show that I realized that he was the damn lead lol...
I agree with Franklin I think the turkey should have been our national bird

I actually met William Daniels when the Broadway show of 1776 toured to Austin

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

I've seen most of his movies. It can't be overstated just how much he changed acting. Before him it was over the top, campy, stupid, unrealistic, ridiculous, and well just plain awful.
Put that thing out you'll burn your fingers - Gary Cooper,Cary Grant,Spencer Tracy,James Cagney,Errol Flynn,Humphrey Bogart,James Stewart,Gregory Peck,John Wayne,Burt Lancaster,Laurence Olivier,Charlton Heston,James Dean all say HELLO

didn't Louis Winthorpe III (From Trading Places) say, "I'm walking here" while stumbling away from the party in his Santa suit after nearly being hit by a car?

Kelly's Heroes is my No1 all-time...prolly.Everyone in that seems to take off career wise later.Carrol O'Connor in All in the Family.Telly Savalas- Kojak.Don Rickles - Dean Martin Roasts.Sutherland in lots of stuff - M*A*S*H*.Gavin McCloud to a lesser extent
I'm with you on that. Kelly's Heroes was a great mix of a war movie with a lot of humor. While Oddball (Sutherland) had some great lines, I really liked how O'Conner plays the General, not really knowing what is going on with his own command. He nailed that part.

I've been a big fan of John Wayne films since I was a kid. There were a lot of classics, but one of my favorite is The Quiet Man with Maureen O'Hara. Very well done movie with a good story line and some well timed comedy. 

As for classics that I have NOT seen:

  • All of the Lord of the Rings - I saw a few mins of one and was quickly put to sleep
  • Most of Harry Potter - I think I saw the first one because the kids wanted to see it. I have no interest in any of the others, kids saw it without me.
  • West Side Story -  No interest
  • Singing in the Rain -  No thanks
  • 12 Angry Men - I need to watch this one, just never caught it when it was on.

One of my other go to actors is Cary Grant. My favorite movie from his is Father Goose. When my youngest daughter was about 10-12 years old, I found that movie on DVD. She fell in love with it and would watch it when she had nothing else to do. She then turned some of her friends on to it and they liked it too. I figured that I would prefer he watching that than some of the garbage that is being made these days. 

Another Cary Grant film that I have and the kids liked was Operation Petticoat with Tony Curtis as a co-star. Tony Curtis held his own with Grant in this movie. Another of my all time favorites.

The Quiet Man is watched in my family every St. Patrick's Day.
