  1. I can also cross genres so I could do comedy or horror or drama, so pretty much by teen I mean a movie with a predominantly teen cast and teen issues involved.

    Something very different is the disturbing drama River's Edge (1987) with Crispin Glover, Keanu Reeves, Ione Skye & Dennis Hopper, based on a real incident involving California high-schoolers.

    One the other hand, there is the classic comedy Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) directed by John Hughes, and starring Matthew Broderick and Mia Sara.

  2. The Fugitive - David Janssen was born to play Dr. Richard Kimble.

    The Untouchables - Ness, Nitti and unrestrained gunplay. A DesiLu Production

    The Invaders - Architect David Vincent knows. Now he must convince a disbelieving world.

    Thriller - as sure as my name is Boris Karloff.

    honorable mention:

    The Prisoner - Another beautiful day in the Village. Who is Number One?

    Branded - former Rifleman Chuck Connors as the "coward of Bitter Creek".

    Sea Hunt, Perry Mason, Route 66, Secret Agent, F Troop.

  3. Frank Sinatra starred in the movie Suddenly (1954 - Directed by Lewis Allen) a tense thriller about psychotic professional assassin John Baron (Sinatra) and his henchmen who take a local family hostage as they prepare to ambush the President of the United States at a whistle-stop visit to a rural town on a railroad line in central California.

    In the notorious colorized version of this black-and-white film, Frank Sinatra is given brown eyes.

  4. While looking for information about the late great Freddie (Freddy) King, I encountered this The Essential Blues Album List.

    It was compiled "in response to requests from listeners to ... Blues from the Red Rooster Lounge radio show". According to the Rooster: "Narrowing this list down to a workable number was quite a task, and we've decided (for now, at least) to pass over such first-rate modern blues revivalists as Mike Bloomfield, Paul Butterfield, Johnny Winter, Bonnie Raitt, John Mayall, Robert Cray, Eric Clapton, Roy Buchanan, etc., in favor of the musicians who influenced them".

    Incidentally, Freddy King made the list of 'A Dozen Essential Guitarists'.

  5. Several more to look for:

    Robot Jox (1990). Rock-em, sock-em action on a giant scale. The heroic score composed by Frederic Talgorn is performed by the Paris Philharmonic Orchestra.

    Puppetmaster (1989). Creepy killer dolls. There are by several sequels/prequels involving ancient Egyptian magic and the Gestapo.

    The Philadephia Experiment (1984) Secret tests end up with sailors from 1943 getting time-warped into '84. Fast paced.

    Time Rider (1983) More time travel action. a motocross racer winds up in the 1870s.

    --------------------------------

    Vanishing Point (1971). A Radio DJ (Cleavon Little) makes a hero out of speed-crazed Kowalski (Barry Newman) out-smarting and out-stunting the cops, trying to get a Dodge Challenger from Denver to San Francisco in 15 hours.

    Hot Rods to Hell (1967) and The Frozen Dead (1966). Dana Andrews (President of the screen Actors Guild from 1963-1965) stars in both these B-movie favorites. In Hot Rods..., he's a family man harassed by old-looking teen-aged badboys. In Frozen Dead, he's a mad scientist planning to thaw out the WWII Nazi leadership.

    -------------------------

    High School Confidential (1958). Russ Tamblyn as an undercover narc. Co-stars John Drew Barrymore (Drew's Dad) and Mamie Van Doren. Jerry Lee Lewis performs the theme song.

    Kiss Me Deadly (1955) Ralph Meeker is a mean Mike Hammer, and he's not keeping out of Cold War-era trouble. With Jack Elam and a young Cloris Leachman.

  6. My first thought when I saw the picture was "Don't flatter yourself lady!"

    she looks like what she needs is a brisk pat down 2-3 times a week.

    She looks like a bulldog chewing a wasp, so probably does need a bit more loving!

    Should I laugh at this?

    IMO, not really.

    There is such lack of civility in society today.

    Would this woman's feelings be more valid if she was better looking?

    We can find plenty of unquestionably laughable stuff. If you have to ask, then maybe you should let it slide.
