Ha Ha Ed, you make me smile the way you get us all back on track when you think we're going off on one!!

Very sensible!!!

Pam. ☺

EDIT: you're out numbered on here with women...bit like at home i guess!

Anyway, back to the films.

I'm currently watching the remake of The Time Machine. Struggling to get into it though; I prefer the original with Rod Taylor (I think we've mentioned it before).

Ah yes Ed, Bonanza, i loved that programme with them all riding their horses through the burning map...and the sex god that was "HOSS".

Well Mo,
there was only ever one man for me in a western...and that was Wishbone outta Rawhide!! LOL! ☺

The earliest western series I sort of remember seeing first time round in the UK was "Branded" with Chuck Connors.

Hey, why hasn't anyone mentioned ... Bonanza?

Oh no
Am I showing my age again ?
lol
Was going to mention Robert Horton from Wagon Train too

Ed... I found Gemini Man when I googled, but can`t say I remember it, he was such a huge star in the 70s its a shame his career didn`t continue that way...... they {Pete and Ben} acted so well together, such a shame to take your life so young.

Sorry MO ...Laramie was a bit before my time, though I do recognise the name....


Nicky

I don't remember him Mo, bet he was very masculine though!

Must say I liked Robert Fuller "Jess" in Laramie

Hi Nicky,

I thought Pete Duel (who my sister idolised) committed suicide; didn't he shoot himself (will have to Google). Yes just checked - 31 December 1971. (He was 31) EDIT: Whoops a bit late with that one!

His role was taken over by Roger Davis, who used to be the narrator. I lurved Alias Smith and Jones. They axed the series in 1973 as it lost it's charisma without the charismatic Duel as Hannibal Hayes.

Didn't Ben Murphy star in a series based on the Invisible Man in the mid 70s? I think it was called the Gemini Man.

Think The Rock is my new crush
lol
Liked him as a wrestler too

Hi folks, yes i had a bit of a thing for Manalito in the High Chaperal...as my friend used to say "What 'im wiv the bent nose!" such class! Pete Duel was georgous!! Brown eyes too, apparantly he commited suicide, he suffered with depression, very sad.

I remember you saying your girl looks like angelina Ed, she must be a stunner.

Pam.

Oh yes MO, the Rock would make an excellent Heathcliff........


Nicky

Heathcliffe
What about The Rock ?

The High chaparel........ theres a blast from the past Ed, my sister always liked Monolito{spelling!!} where as I always liked Blue Boy.........so no suprises there then !!

There used to be some great westerns on the TV.... The Virginian was another good one,...and my all time favourite Alias Smith and Jones, my favourite there was always Jed Kid Curry {alias Mr Jones }played by the lovely curly haired ,blue eyed Ben Murphy....I wonder what happened to him?? Pete Duel who played Hannibal Hayes {alias Mr. Smith} died a couple of years after the series ended. the school holidays were always filled every morning with Champion the Wonder Horse....do any of you remember that?

Nicky

EDIT... Just googled smith and jones...Ben Murphy still acts in occasional tv dramas in the us ,but hasn`t done anything big since the 70s....I`d forgotton Pete Duel killed himself while a series wasbeing filmed, and was replaced by Roger Davis.

But who would be Cathy?

My Cathys:

From today:

Milla Jovovich (natch)
Kate Backinsale (especially if she could do the role as a vampire)
Charlize Theron
Lucy Liu
Liv Tyler

Notice there is no Angelina Jolie (my daughter looks too much like her!), Jennifer Aniston (doesn't do it for me), Demi Moore (ditto), Uma Thurman (she really DOES NOT do it for me in any way, shape or form), Cameron Diaz (likewise), Keira Knightley (don't go there) or Cate Blanchett (no comment).

The real glamour women from the past with immortal beauty:

Catherine Deneuve (although she is still lovely)
Lauren Bacall
Maureen O'Hara
Linda Cristal (Victoria in "The High Chapparal")

*sigh*

Yes Pam........ I saw that Top Gear episode again as well, It was funny we were flicking through the channels trying to decide what to watch, and OH stopped on Top gear....I went ok then we`ll watch ANOTHER repeat again...I do like top Gear but they seem to repaeat an awful lot of episodes.......anyway, OH got the synopsis up and sudddenley said, its the one with Mark Wahlberg....... it was funny,......... mood changed immeadiatley ,as i sat glued to the screen ...............

Its funny i feel about Brad Pitt like you do about George Clooney.... I know Brad is very handsome, but he just dosn`t appeal to me.......... I`m like that with Simon Cowell as well, I know loads of women swoon over him, but I just don`t get it with him, I prefer his personality {his straight talking} to his looks.

Yvonne......2 very good choices for Heathcliff, not with you on the Doris Day movies though I`m afraid. My wet sunday afternoon film, if I was on my own would probably be Dirty Dancing..........

Nicky

Nicky

Saw your Mark Wahlberg on Top Gear the othern night, it was a repeat, you know when they put a star in the car and get the stig to show them the ropes...I can see what you mean Nicky, he had me grinning!!

Hi all,

John you've got one of my dear old dad's favourite ladies there Olivia De Haviland, yes she was really lovely.

Yvonne i'm with you on the Doris Day films, her and Rock Hudson were just perfect together...when I found out he was gay it shocked me and many others I suspect, he was hardly a John Innman......he was SO HANDSOME! I remember saying to a work colleage that I quite fancied him in Mc Millan & Wife and her saying "Oh Pam he's really old!"


My Heathcliffe has got to be James Purefoy!!

I think George clooney is handsome, but I don't know what it is, but he don't float my boat!

Yes Nicky, if I had to pick one of them from The Who...it would have been Keith moon!! I watched him on the Biography channel and said to my husband that i thought he was good looking in an unconventional way, and he said I was weird in my taste of men......... I said well if the cap fits! LOL

For Heathcliff ......

George Clooney
or
Hugh Jackman :o) Yum!

For fave film ....
anything with Doris Day in it, for those wet Sunday afternoons :o)
