Tender November Poll (Pre 1970)
Added 2024-10-29 20:15:00 +0000 UTCOk wow guys, we did it! I have officially watched my last spooky movie for October and I need this poll, I really do! I just want to lay in my bed and watch all of these haha.
There is going to be two polls. Tender November (post 1970) and Tender November (pre 1970) So make sure to vote on both.
This will end on Friday 11/1, you can vote multiple times

I hope that Cassie likes Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis as a team, and will subsequently watch "The Great Race". Another great comedy!

2024-11-04 19:59:25 +0000 UTCI'm so happy "Some like it hot" won. It is such a cinematic gem and probably the best srewball comedy ever made, with one of the most famous movie quotes of all time (at least in my part of the world š) ...š¤©

2024-11-04 16:49:49 +0000 UTCSorry. That was my fault, I voted for it.
Mike Lemon
2024-11-04 02:37:26 +0000 UTC347 isn't a bad tally, Art. Assuming Cassie watches the top 2 (she normally does), it only missed out by 9 votes! I feel your pain, of course, because I've had quite a few films miss the cut on polls that I know (KNOW!!!!!) Cassie would absolutely love. In this case, though, I wouldn't put it past her to Popcorn Pick My Fair Lady. I'm sure you're not the only one who's told her that it would be right up her street.
Clarence Newman
2024-11-02 22:19:56 +0000 UTCWhat is it with people not wanting her to watch My Fair Lady? It's SUCH A Cassie movie. Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn in a romantic musical? And it came in 3rd??? Ugh! It's the curse of Art's vote rearing it's ugly head again.
Art of Free Speech
2024-11-02 20:14:56 +0000 UTCIt finished 3rd in the poll. Shin, so by rights it missed the cut. Then again, it's the kind of film she often uses her Popcorn Pick of the Month on. It's on my wish list too, so fingers crossed.
Clarence Newman
2024-11-02 17:35:46 +0000 UTCSome Like It Hot is such a good movie and wow what a socially ground breaking film for its time.

2024-11-02 04:18:48 +0000 UTCItās not tender. Dr. Zhivago is more tender. But Cassie should watch Lawrence of Arabia. Magnificent film.
Catherine LW
2024-11-01 22:53:00 +0000 UTCThe scene at the beach, Joe
Clarence Newman
2024-11-01 20:33:51 +0000 UTCSad that An Affair To Remember is doing so poorly. Cassie would love this and probably answer some questions about Sleepless In Seattle(how I found An Affair To Remember). When she eventually gets to it she'll have to rewatch Sleepless. It'll probably make more sense.
Katie Jackson
2024-11-01 19:14:16 +0000 UTCāSOUTH PACIFICā for sure! Amazing film.
Patreot
2024-11-01 17:24:55 +0000 UTCCassie should watch "From Here To Eternity", but why is it on this poll?
Joe
2024-11-01 15:05:28 +0000 UTCIt's on my list, Jens, therefore seconded. Remember Cassie, a horse lost its head to get Sinatra that role! (I'm not kidding either. That scene in the Godfather is based on an (alleged) true story.)
Clarence Newman
2024-11-01 08:55:29 +0000 UTCObvs speaking generally
Patreot
2024-10-31 20:05:10 +0000 UTC"From Here To Eternity# is simply a must-see.... No contest here - It gets my vote...
Jens Kristensen
2024-10-31 18:25:05 +0000 UTC@Patreot, the most likely winners, "Some Like it Hot" and "My Fair Lady" are hardly grim, gruesome, and gritty (haha).
Joe
2024-10-31 14:59:36 +0000 UTCThatās nice, if those lists mean something to you.
Richard Maurer
2024-10-31 13:21:43 +0000 UTCI recall it was released but didnāt view it.

Monte Durbin
2024-10-31 02:19:20 +0000 UTCLet's also not forget the incomparable dubbed singing by the iconic Marnie Nixon!
Monte Durbin
2024-10-31 02:13:01 +0000 UTC8 of these movies are top 100 or top 150 movies of all time. This poll is insane.
David
2024-10-31 01:04:36 +0000 UTCSaw a movie not too long ago where Nicole Kidman played Princess Grace. Not sure many knows it exists. Think it came out right when covid started.
Chris Thom
2024-10-31 00:08:12 +0000 UTCYeah, I donāt consider that a real romance- more of a dark comedy.
Catherine LW
2024-10-30 23:03:52 +0000 UTCI can watch the part when theyāre on that cruise ship over and over again. It was so funny and sweet. Cary and Deborah Kerr were perfect in comedic timing and romance!
Catherine LW
2024-10-30 23:00:32 +0000 UTCShe was actually running around with Oleg Cassini at that time. Cary Grant and his wife were chaperoning!
Catherine LW
2024-10-30 22:55:10 +0000 UTCCassie! Cassie!! CASSIE!!!! Over here. All agitated and waving my arms at you. Someone just suggested below that you might take the two winners from these two polls and then match them against each other in a final poll. Like you did with the Scary But Well Scaries. Please don't. Please don't. Please don't. These are all tender movies and, if you watch the top 2 from each, you will be basking in their gentle greatness for the entire month of November. If you deprive yourself of two of them for the sake of a final head-to-head poll, we will be forced to consider it self-harming and call for an intervention! The same will apply if you don't watch An Officer and a Gentleman.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 21:46:04 +0000 UTCAaagggh. I hadn't thought of that, Doug. I hope you're wrong this time. I understand her doing it on horror polls (less winners she HAS to watch), but for Tender November? Nope, uh-uh, not having it. There's no need to turn 4 into 2 when she'll enjoy them all.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 21:36:36 +0000 UTCAnd Stanley Holloway as Alfred Doolittle in a minor role is worth the ticket just by hisself.
Happy Hanukkah
2024-10-30 21:20:28 +0000 UTCShe actually met him at the Cannes Film Festival in 1955. They ended up getting married and he made her give up acting. Therefore we should hate him.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 21:20:17 +0000 UTCI was just reminded of somethingā¦ One of the most famous movie dogs ever, from the beloved Thin Man movies, Astaā¦ is in Bringing Up Baby. Does that sway the vote any? ;-)

V M
2024-10-30 19:57:52 +0000 UTCFor my money, Myrna Loy and William Powell were the best Hollywood couple "in the movies" ever. So much so that everyone thought they were real-life husband and wife but were ever only good friends. And once you find out you love them together, there's a dozen other movies they were together in to enjoy.
Hutch
2024-10-30 19:06:43 +0000 UTCRight, but didn't she meet him while working on to Catch a Theif? That was the story I had heard but could be wrong
T.L.A
2024-10-30 18:17:33 +0000 UTCTo be fair, you canāt really expect people to vote for movies they havenāt seen. Now if youāre saying that a lot of patrons donāt have much of a āfilm educationā Iād agree, but you still canāt blame them for voting for the films they know.
Richard Maurer
2024-10-30 18:00:06 +0000 UTCMust have Notorious in that poll!
Catherine LW
2024-10-30 17:32:00 +0000 UTCBased on a book by Dashiell Hammett, the same author that wrote āThe Maltese Falconā, as well as numerous stories featuring his Continental Op character, which became the foundation for every major PI character in fiction for the next 100 years.

2024-10-30 17:11:12 +0000 UTCHow could you leave out "The Apple Dumpling Gang" (1975)?! ;)
Doug Fisher
2024-10-30 17:02:36 +0000 UTCYou expect logic from a poll?! ;)
Doug Fisher
2024-10-30 17:00:01 +0000 UTCDid you see some of the movies on the post 1970 "Tender November" poll?! I think "Tender" is a loose interpretation or it just means any movie that isn't scary or gory. ;)
Doug Fisher
2024-10-30 16:57:24 +0000 UTCAll you needed to say was... AUDREY HEPBURN!! ;)
Doug Fisher
2024-10-30 16:53:48 +0000 UTCYou do realize that if you voted for more that 4 movies you are voting against yourself?!
Doug Fisher
2024-10-30 16:52:43 +0000 UTCYou were expecting logic and taste on a poll?!
Doug Fisher
2024-10-30 16:50:33 +0000 UTCI agree, but what will happen is the top half of the pre 1970 poll will make it to the third poll to go up against the top half of the other "Tender November" poll (post 1970).
Doug Fisher
2024-10-30 16:49:39 +0000 UTCAs I have referenced before in other comment section... "Live and Let Die" was one of the two Moore Bond films chosen for the girls to watch; which perfectly demonstrates the patron's choosing ability and overall validity of poles. Additionally, the reality is that most Patrons have not seen a majority of the films listed on the poll so only vote for what they know.
Doug Fisher
2024-10-30 16:47:17 +0000 UTCOMG Didn't know I needed a My Fair Lady reaction until I saw this poll. Would absolutely LOVE to watch it with you, Cassie.
Shin Yeji
2024-10-30 16:36:27 +0000 UTCBedknobs and Broomsticks! Cassie's editor could do a special graphic based on the bed scene.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 14:56:20 +0000 UTCDo you remember this one, guys? Not from the film, but inspired by it: "The watuh in Majorcuh don't taste like what it oughta!"
Clarence Newman
2024-10-30 14:49:28 +0000 UTC"The Rain in Spain falls Mainly on the Plain"
Allen W. McDonnell
2024-10-30 14:45:58 +0000 UTCI'm also 100% on the My Fair Lady team for this one....it's the single most brutal take on the deprecation of the English language in motion picture history....also a twisty love story.
J
2024-10-30 13:43:35 +0000 UTCYeah, well āAn Affair To Rememberā is the ultimate āchick flick,ā so no surprise itās at the bottom in a poll voted on by Cassieās mostly male audience. It is such a shame sheās constantly steered to react to grim, gruesome and gritty menās films rather than being introduced to the great classic āwomenāsā films that are perfectly suited to her taste.
Patreot
2024-10-30 13:39:35 +0000 UTCRoom For One More is another Cary Grant film that is tender. Family movie that brings up the issue of adopting children at risk. Ahead of its time (1950ās), funny, poignant and sweet. Was written by Grantās third wife, Betsy Drake.
Catherine LW
2024-10-30 13:31:59 +0000 UTCI totally agree, I really hope to see them react to it at some point t, as I'm positive they would love it. Looks like it is quite a it down the pecking order, and this is a particularly strong poll, but still delighted to see it turn up in a poll..... It's on the radar!
Paul Browne
2024-10-30 12:10:15 +0000 UTCI kind of would like to see The Maltese Falcon just to FINALLY know what the heck that title is referring to. I feel like I've heard of that movie name since I was 5. I think they parody or reference it in Looney Tunes.
YodatheHobbit
2024-10-30 09:16:40 +0000 UTCMy fair lady is one of my all time favourite go-to movies when I need a pick-me-up. Audrey Hepburn is exquisite! By the way, if you need some other classics to react to Auntie Mame (1958 with Rosalind Russel), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (the barn raising dance scene is one of the best dance scenes on film), Thereās No business like show business (1954), and Pocketful of Miracles (1961) are all brilliant, make you feel wonderful films. I highly recommend every one of them.
Callie Stephen
2024-10-30 08:06:26 +0000 UTCCorrect on all counts
V M
2024-10-30 06:46:46 +0000 UTCYeah, its not exactly a tender movie, but lets watch it anyway :P
V M
2024-10-30 06:44:37 +0000 UTCHe's saying Maltese Falcon is a better movie than some like it hot, which it is.
V M
2024-10-30 06:41:20 +0000 UTCAbsolutely!
Patreot
2024-10-30 05:34:10 +0000 UTCāAn Affair To Rememberā is the only one of these that has ātendernessā as its central feature. A shame it wonāt win, because I can see Cassie and Carly particularly loving that one. Itās such an iconic and important film in the romance genre. But āSome Like It Hotā and āMy Fair Ladyā are great, great films, so I wonāt complain if either of those win.
Patreot
2024-10-30 05:13:36 +0000 UTCYes, Cassie, an important heads up for Decemberā¦. āMEET ME IN ST. LOUISā is traditionally watched in the Christmas season. Itās where the song āHave Yourself A Merry Little Christmasā came from. āMeet Me In St. Louisā is the all time favorite film of many serious classic film fans (myself included.) Itās very warm and fuzzy. Itās one that should definitely be watched with Carly. Another traditional Christmas classic is āThe Bishopās Wife.ā
Patreot
2024-10-30 05:03:18 +0000 UTCkind of early but Meet me in St. Louis she be added soon

Richard Maurer
2024-10-30 03:46:03 +0000 UTCSome Like it Hot over The Maltese Falcon? Even with a classic poll the patrons make some weird choices.
Richard Maurer
2024-10-30 03:43:52 +0000 UTCThese are all classics. I really think she should take more than one from this list. (at least two, if not three)
Robert
2024-10-30 03:38:59 +0000 UTCThat moment of pure joy seeing Charade on the poll, clicking on it, only to see it losing by 200 votes...
Keith Jones
2024-10-30 02:43:56 +0000 UTCBringing Up Baby is never going to win in a poll, Cassie will have make it a popcorn pick. Cassie, if Some Like It Hot wins, Carly must watch along, since it is a part of Carly's Romantic List. :)
Mark Vaderr
2024-10-30 02:21:33 +0000 UTCThis poll suffers from a serious lack of Lawrence of Arabia.
MotoDork
2024-10-30 02:18:04 +0000 UTCThank goodness it's a multi-vote because I voted for almost all these movies. My #1 must be Some Like it Hot. I've been asking for this for a long time.
Julie
2024-10-30 02:00:45 +0000 UTCWow. These are all classic in their own way. I'm a gonna go with The Maltese Falcon because of the one and only Bogie. Each and everyone would be enjoyed by Cassie and Carly.
Ricardo Rodriguez
2024-10-30 01:52:52 +0000 UTCHardly anyone has done a first time reaction to, "My Fair Lady!" Phenomenal performances by both Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolitle and, Rex Harrison as Henry Higgins! A must watch.
Monte Durbin

2024-10-30 00:47:19 +0000 UTCWhen in doubt...choose the one with the sexiest actors/actresses. Def used to do that at the video store and can't say I regret it.
Chris Thom
2024-10-30 00:45:24 +0000 UTCI think Cary Grant should win all of these!
Jerrod Acree
2024-10-30 00:43:42 +0000 UTCSome day, The Thin Man will make it to a poll.
Hutch
2024-10-30 00:39:04 +0000 UTCMy personal choice is Charade. It's an all time favorite of mine. To Catch a Thief, because it's another Cary Grant classic. But I do love Some Like It Hot as well, so I can't be too disappointed.
Walter
2024-10-30 00:39:00 +0000 UTCClassic films are definitely great and entertaining ways to learn about the 20s, 30s and 40s.

John
2024-10-30 00:14:11 +0000 UTCYeah, I saw that and was like there's nothing tender about that movie lol
Jere
2024-10-30 00:13:17 +0000 UTCBringing Up Baby is just as crazy funny as Arsenic. Too bad the Philadelphia Story wasn't on here. Harvey would be been wonderful too.
John
2024-10-30 00:11:00 +0000 UTCMaltese Falcon is a little strange for the category, but still great. Excellent selection though. If you ever get around to a Cary Grant week add People Will Talk to the list, it's a movie with a message that applies even more today than it did back then.
John
2024-10-30 00:06:49 +0000 UTCSome Like It Hot is another Iāve been dying for you to see. One of the greatest comedies of all time and the best film ending ever. Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe are fantastic.
China Andronicus
2024-10-30 00:06:42 +0000 UTCGuilty, with a collection of pre-1970 movies. Not always, but a factor. For instance, 1965 vs 1935 has an advantage to me generally in terms of production and connection. Though, sometimes I want to watch a 1935 movie to better understand history of the time.
Clay F
2024-10-30 00:03:40 +0000 UTCA few more pre 1970 recommendations: *Yours, Mine and Ours * South Pacific *The Parent Trap *The Swiss Family Robinsons (I mentioned it in a comment further down) *Bedknobs and Broomsticks *So Dear To My Heart
Katie Jackson
2024-10-29 23:51:10 +0000 UTCTo say a movie is recognized as a classic is one thing... but SLIH is more than just classic... it's the standard against which all off-beat comedies have been judged... ever since Lemmon and Curtis met Monroe!
Terry Yelmene
2024-10-29 23:44:28 +0000 UTCI owned So Dear To My Heart & Bedknobs and Broomsticks on VHS as a kid. I watched them so much I nearly ruined the tapes
Katie Jackson
2024-10-29 23:39:25 +0000 UTCI see a poll with The Maltese Falcon I vote. Not sure why it is in a tender poll thuogh. It is more mystery but not going to complain.
Anthony Harris
2024-10-29 23:34:41 +0000 UTCFor the TENDER pick- an Affair to Remember. HOWEVER i have been dying for Cassie to see both Some Like It Hot and Charade for such a ling time. Watch half in November and the other half in February!
Cathleen Jennings
2024-10-29 23:30:48 +0000 UTCItās also a great family film, good for kids to learn about respect, honor and responsibility.
Catherine LW

Larry Darrell
2024-10-29 23:27:47 +0000 UTCIf we get My Fair Lady, Cassie and Carly have to sing along to all the songs! "Come on, Dover..."
Chris Clarke
2024-10-29 23:22:15 +0000 UTC+10 for Captains Courageous (1937). Now THAT is a Tender movie.
Larry Darrell
2024-10-29 23:18:32 +0000 UTCI've voted for My Fair Lady, but won't mind if Some Like It Hot wins: classic film!
Chris Clarke
2024-10-29 23:18:13 +0000 UTCSame thought. The Apartment (1960) was advertised to Cassie, a few years ago, as a Rom-Com as well.
Larry Darrell
2024-10-29 23:16:03 +0000 UTCFrom Here to Eternity for veterans day! This is the war movie referred to in The Godfather. Frank Sinatra got his role with the help of the mob and then won an oscar for his performance!
Gary Granata
2024-10-29 23:11:56 +0000 UTCIn that case it is still more effective to pick the one I want most rather than spread my votes around
Neill Shaughness
2024-10-29 23:11:05 +0000 UTCI don't mind Howard the Duck. As long as he is indeed tender. Maybe in an orange sauce.

Happy Hanukkah
2024-10-29 23:08:26 +0000 UTCAll the movies on this poll ones that you should watch at some point. They are all great movies. Theyāre all a little bit different but each one is a classic and its own right. ā¤ļø

Happy Hanukkah
2024-10-29 23:06:45 +0000 UTCI'm a traditionalist. I'd rather have a single vote that moves the needle a little than several that are too marginal in their impact to matter. Thankfully I'm good with any of these. Been a while since I loved every film in a pole
Neill Shaughness
2024-10-29 23:06:44 +0000 UTCafter, Foul Play (1978), get ready to take a chance again on the pairing of Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn in, Seems Like Old Times (1980). ;-)

DAVID COSTELLO
2024-10-29 22:52:49 +0000 UTCGreat for the pre 1970's poll please do more ! Cassie ALL the Cary Grant movies need to be seen. They are so classic that Carly and you both can enjoy every second of them without fear of covering you eyes a millisecond while watching them. Please do a whole month of Cary Grant movies ! Then Jimmy Stewart !!!

Mike LL
2024-10-29 22:18:01 +0000 UTCOh, Cassie has stated that it IS on her PPOTM list. Kind of sneaky of her putting it on a poll so it can be watched right away. But it doesn't need a poll win to be watched. Only needs time.

Stick Figure Studios
2024-10-29 22:12:51 +0000 UTCI respect Billy Wilder as a filmmaker and I love many of his films, such asā¦ Ninotchka (1939)ā¦ writer Ball of Fire (1941)ā¦ writer Double Indemnity (1944) The Bishopās Wife (1947)ā¦ writer Sunset Boulevard (1951) Ace in the Hole (1951) Stalag 17 (1953) Sabrina (1954) The Seven Year Itch (1955) Witness for the Prosecution (1957) One, Two, Three (1961) Avanti! (1972) Some of these, I consider Masterpieces. However, for some reason, people seem to see 2 of Wilderās most popular films differently than I do. Some Like It Hot (1959) & The Apartment (1960)ā¦ ā¦are my Least Favorites of his. The latter film being one of my least favorite films of all time. Iāve never understood how people classify The Apartment as a Rom-Com, when the best I can classify it as, is Dark Comedy Drama, Heavy on the Drama. Thereās definitely a few more laughs in Some Like It Hot, butā¦ Since it seems very apparent that Cassie will be watching it for Tender November, Iāll just say, I hope Cassie has fun with it. :-) Iāll give it another try tooā¦ even though Iāve given it many tries over the years. ;-)

Tyler Foster
2024-10-29 21:54:41 +0000 UTCHave to agree on Jack Lemmon, Dan. I always loved him and he's even better in The Great Race (1965). Just never liked the film, that's all.

Jason Mangen
2024-10-29 21:27:35 +0000 UTCCassie you should consider doing some classic Disney Live Action Movies. There are some really good one's. A personal favorite is The Swiss Family Robinsons made in the 60's.
Katie Jackson
2024-10-29 21:27:35 +0000 UTCI had a similar experience with Some Like It Hot in college. Except I had already seen it before, but my roommate and about 5 other guys on our floor had never seen. So we all gathered in my room to watch it. They all loved itā¦and 2 of those guys decided to dress up as Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon dressed up as women the following Halloween.
Dan M
2024-10-29 21:27:16 +0000 UTCIt probably won't win but you HAVE to watch Charade. It's my favorite Cary Grant movie. Him and Audrey Hepburn are just awesome together. I even got my then 10 year old hooked on the movie lol

Rob
2024-10-29 21:22:00 +0000 UTCI remember in the 70's there being a comic sequel to The Maltese Falcon, called The Black Bird - but I never saw it so don't know how funny it was. So I was thinking of other funny detective movies from the 70's and Foul Play popped into my head. Then I thought of Fletch, where Chevy played an investigative reporter (the role he was born for, IMHO). It's a little early in the week for my brain to be wandering . . .

2024-10-29 21:18:39 +0000 UTCIn the future, I think Cassie would like "The Prince and the Showgirl" (1957)
JAKH
2024-10-29 21:17:45 +0000 UTCI think she would indeed enjoy The Maltese Falcon very very much. She might be slightly not in the mood if she watched it expecting a romancy type film, but watching the film itself she would like the mystery and the detecting very much!
Mike LL
2024-10-29 21:17:28 +0000 UTCTony Curtis and Jack Lemon dressed up as women, playing in an all female jazz band, all sorts of hi jinx happeningā¦and Marilyn Monroe. Itās a no brainerā¦gotta vote for Some Like It Hot. Letās start off Tender November on the right foot.

Robert Jewell
2024-10-29 21:12:02 +0000 UTCSome Like it Hot is a great movie, but trust me, you guys will love To Catch a Thief. It's hard to go wrong with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly
Sandra Jewitt

2024-10-29 21:00:04 +0000 UTCI voted for To Catch a Thief which at some point you've got to watch because as far as I know it has everything you enjoy: romance, atmosphere, Cary Grant, Grace Kelly, stunning costumes by Edith Head and cinematography that'll 'pop' your socks off so...
Robert Jewell
2024-10-29 20:59:55 +0000 UTCmy choice would be THE AWFUL TRUTH if we could do any CG film.
Matt Rose
2024-10-29 20:59:35 +0000 UTCI love all of these films, especially the Cary Grant ones, but I have a fond memory of watching Some Like it Hot with my roommate in college. We were both drunk, came home and started watching it. We laughed so hard, we were literally rolling on the floor, clutching our stomachs in pain. āIām a girl, Iām a girl, Iām a girl!ā ššš

Mike LL
2024-10-29 20:58:15 +0000 UTCThe Maltese Falcon is a masterpiece. The first major film noire of the classic era. Dashiell Hammett, the writer, based the character of Sam Spade off his experience as a detective. He said that Spade was who every detective including himself "wished they were. š Humphrey Bogart as Samuel Spade is my 2nd favorite of his characters. First being Fred Dobbs from Treasure of the Sierra Madre

Mike LL
2024-10-29 20:55:32 +0000 UTCI voted these five: 1. To Catch A Thief (1955) is on my watchlist. The next Hitchcock I want to see. Has the stunning Grace Kelly. 2. Some Like it Hot (1959) -- I've seen. I am fine with it winning. 3. My Fair Lady (1964) has the advantage of being the most recent movie, which I tend to vote for in these old movie polls. Plus, Audrey Hepburn is beautiful. 4. The Maltese Falcon (1941). I rarely watch pre-1950 movies but I am in the mood for an old noir. Plus, has Bogart and Lorre. 5. Charade (1963). A more modern movie. Plus, again, Audrey Hepburn is beautiful. While I am curious to watch a young Katharine Hepburn, I did not vote for Bringing up Baby (1938) because not in the mood for a screwball comedy this old.
Clay F
2024-10-29 20:54:29 +0000 UTCWelcome to The Tender November Poll (Pre 1970) otherwise known as The Honorary Cary Grant Poll since he is the star of four of the movies (and is imitated in a fifth!!!). (Actually, the French Riviera is the true star of To Catch A Thief, but Cary does get first billing!)
Mike LL
2024-10-29 20:54:24 +0000 UTC'All of the Above'. That said, I opted for CHARADE and BRINGING UP BABY
Matt Rose
2024-10-29 20:53:31 +0000 UTCThe lead actors were born pre-1970 so it counts. Therefore, seconded!
Clarence Newman

Mike LL
2024-10-29 20:50:46 +0000 UTCIt would be great if she watched them all. I voted for My fair lady, Maltese falcon, and Charade. Great movies!

2024-10-29 20:50:21 +0000 UTCNo, she was known for bringing the worldās attention to starving children in Africa. Poor children were her main advocacy, especially when famine hit Ethiopia. She knew what hunger was, as she starved during WWII. She was a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF.
Catherine LW
2024-10-29 20:50:08 +0000 UTCYes! Overrated! That's three people who've said so. Cassie, it's not too late to sub in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes or The Seven Year Itch.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-29 20:50:01 +0000 UTCI didn't even notice To Catch A Thief was on the poll, being so distracted by Bringing Up Baby and The Maltese Falcon!! Actually, Cassie needs to see every movie on this poll! And I'm sure one day she will!!!!

2024-10-29 20:48:12 +0000 UTCIt's not just me then, Mike. Some Like It Hot is so revered, but I have never liked it. You might have a point about Curtis's performance, although Marilyn is not at her best either.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-29 20:48:05 +0000 UTCI haven't seen Foul Play for decades, but something inside me says it was a really fun film.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-29 20:46:23 +0000 UTCAgreed on Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Without giving a spoiler, there's a scene in there where Marilyn makes the very beautiful Jane Russell completely disapper from the screen. Breathtaking beauty and elegance.
Clarence Newman
2024-10-29 20:45:43 +0000 UTCDon't love this poll, although it will be good for Cassie to finally see some Marilyn Monroe. I always knew Some Like It Hot would be the one picked for Marilyn, but it really isn't her best. I would've much preferred Gentlemen Prefer Blondes or The Seven Year Itch. I think To Catch a Thief is the best one on here for Cassie. She likes Cary Grant and absolutely loves Grace Kelly!
Clarence Newman
2024-10-29 20:40:55 +0000 UTCEarly days, but `Some Like it Hot` and `My Fair Lady` are top 2 right now, both are pretty high in my personal request list.

2024-10-29 20:36:28 +0000 UTCPair The Maltese Falcon with Foul Play (1978 - Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn). But if you see Foul Play, you should see Chevy in Fletch (1985)
2-Can
2024-10-29 20:35:03 +0000 UTCMy favorite is The Maltese Falcon but I doubt she would really enjoy that and does seem like an odd inclusion. So does From Here to Eternity. I would rather have seen something like The Awful Truth or The Philadelphia Story or Holiday or His Girl Friday, all great Cary Grant movies, or even one of the Thin Man movies. And I know Some Like it Hot is more praised but my favorite Monroe film so far is Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Maybe a month of film noir, of which there are dozens and dozens of classic films.
thansen
2024-10-29 20:33:53 +0000 UTCIt's a solid list. But for a true Tender November palate cleanser - Maltese Falcon out, The Court Jester (1955) in.
