  1. They will never make fantastic movies like they did back in the day the movie stars today sit on their brains if it wasn't for vulgarity and nudity and violence they'd probably be working at a fast food restaurant cleaning out the toilets and flipping burgers. God bless the movie stars of yesteryear those days are gone forever. 😒

  8. My brother and eventually i would have been better off or never been if mom's mom and dad's parents hadn't forced their way too young marriage of 15 & 17 years old in 1964.

  22. Robert Mitchum in Cape Fear & Night of the Hunter is still frightening & scary. No need of bad words, tattoos, other than Love & Hate on his knuckles. Can't watch either movie without a blanket & all the lights on!

  23. I don't watch the remakes anymore. Cape Fear is so chilling. There were no tattoos, bad words, & violence was implied. Robet Mitchum could stop your heart saying 'Councler

  24. 1:15:50 It's lovely how Mrs Stone doesn't push her to make her decision. She waits until she is ready. Compare that to the story 'Philomena' in which the nuns punished all the unwed mothers, treating them with contempt.

    And Drew is a star. He doesn't give up on Sally.

    What an enlightened film for the time

  31. Ida directed a Twilight Zone episode and acted in one. Also, an Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode. She directed several Thriller tv episodes as well. Check out her genius abilities.

  33. Ah, back when people left babies outside for the taking! My how times have changed…you see that on Call the Midwife and old movies all the time…I don't see how it was ever safe.

  39. Only those B&W movies, left me speechless with my mouth open out of nowhere! I love those kind of scenarios, as I like twists and turns that you couldn't see them coming!!
