saw top 5 . 10s and favorites: stage door , easter parade. 10 not favorite can’t take it with you.
warning Mulholland drive, great nudity, too weird to ever recommend. I did not like it, though intriguing . and powerful performances.
Hey bob cox. As I see this was your last comment for awhile…just wanted to take the time to thank you for taking the time in your busy schedule to visit us again. It was really good to hear from you. As for Ann Miller….we have both seen 5…..Steve has seen 6 and Flora owns all of us. I enjoyed Mulholland Drive a lot more on the second viewing. Lots of puzzle pieces in that movie. As for Stage Door and Easter Parade…two classic movies…and well deserving of your 10 rating. Good stuff…..all of your comments are greatly appreciated.
it is nice to be missed. thanks for the kind words. I am holding up at 62 y.o. working full time . it is hard work.
I fear if I rewatched Mulholland drive it would grow on me.
I love your UMR. I need to set aside time to get regular quality time with UMR with my new schedule.
great work on the latest annual pages. yea Cogerson.
I love your book. I recall about 2 years ago requesting you make UMR interactive so your humble readers could compare actors top whatever number of movies. I have personally been using top 20. I love your top 25. I think it rewards excellence. actors should not be punished for wanting to act/work even if it produces a dog of a movie. great book and great introduction to UMR.
Hey bob cox….happy to share that information with you. Yes setting some time aside for UMR is highly recommended….lol. Thanks for the very kind words about our book. Beginning the process to do a second book…this time with a concentration on current actors. Great feedback.
