<p>So sad to hear of her death, I call her the Queen of feel good movies, As usual there`s nothing of interest on TV at the weekend so will binge on great movies, This weekend Doris Day`s movies "A Touch of Mink" {my personal favourite}, also "Jumbo", Any suggestions for others?</p>

<div class="list-description"><p>Endless lists have been made, and it's a great way to start an argument at a party. What's better, '<a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Chinatown" target="_self" class="inform_link" rel="nofollow">Chinatown</a>' or '<a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/One+Flew+Over+the+Cuckoo%27s+Nest" target="_self" class="inform_link" rel="nofollow">One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest</a>'? 'The Wizard of Oz' or 'Singin' in the Rain'? Everyone's picks are different, but for their new book 'The Greatest Movies Ever,' film critics Gail Kinn and Jim Piazza selected their choices for the best 101 movies of all time. First published in 2008, this edition of the book is revised with new picks like '<a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Slumdog+Millionaire" target="_self" class="inform_link" rel="nofollow">Slumdog Millionaire</a>.' Here's a sampler -- the 50 films that got the top spots on Kinn and Piazza's list.</p>

<p><span class="dc">A</span>ny list of the most romantic movies—this one narrowed to movies in the English language—is going to draw sighs and harrumphs over beloved films left off. Quite a few unforgettable love stories are in movies that don’t comfortably fit the category (<i>Gone with the Wind,</i> for instance), and the contemporary rom-com, while classifiably romantic, can seem as slight as the dandelion—a sunny flowering, a puffball dispersed on a breeze.</p>
<p>Movies that reach the romantic pantheon often have more at stake than a trip to the altar and don’t always end up happily. Some invoke the archetypes of myth and fairy tale, diving into the deeper imaginative realms of high Romanticism, a movement enamored of mystery and nature untamed. Others are modeled on the literary “romance,” a centuries-old genre of narrative fiction that combines adventure, idealism, and courtly love, as exemplified by King Arthur and his Round Table.</p>

<p>there has been some discussion about the movie industry lately and dire predictions of doom and gloom. i'll have to admit i am somewhat perplexed. what the hell is wrong with these people? here is an example....</p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span><span>"Despite achieving huge success with</span></span> <span><span><em>The Avengers</em></span></span> <span><span>and</span></span> <span><span><em>Iron Man 3</em></span></span><span><span>, Disney failed to learn a crucial lesson from its past failures. Last year, Disney released</span></span> <span><span><em>John Carter</em></span></span><span><span>, based on a 1912 novel by</span></span> <span><span><em>Tarzan</em></span></span> <span><span>writer Edgar Rice Burroughs. The film cost $250 million to produce but only grossed $282 million worldwide. Disney then followed that disappointing film up with this year’s</span></span> <span><span><em>The Lone Ranger</em></span></span><span><span>, which cost $225 million but has only generated $147.5 million in global box office sales to date.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Both films were unsuccessful, desperate attempts at launching a new franchise to follow up</span></span> <span><span><em>The Pirates of the Caribbean</em></span></span><span><span>, which generated a combined a $4.7 billion in revenue over the course of four films between 2003 and 2011."</span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span><span>now in a normal business venture, if i make an investment and get 65 per cent payback in three weeks and the payback is ongoing, i'm pretty much smiling cause, in short order, the money streaming back in is on the profit side of the ledger. so give it a year and, even with the loss of the 'new', as long as they have made a good product, they have a half a billion in...and they whine?</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>there are films still bringing in nice margins and profits that are so fricking old, they are in black and white.....and the checks go out to the participants....nice work if you can get it</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>to put the fine point on it, why is a film that makes back 65 per cent of its cost in three weeks a 'failure'? have these people gotten so damned greedy that they no longer view the film as an investment that pays back over time but rather they demand everything be a blockbuster with huge barrels of cash flowing endlessly? well perhaps they need to stop producing crap as well. i know i know...fat chance....but the crap dilutes their other product. in fact for the most part, the studios need to know that, in the words of the cop from all the grade b movies: "move along folks nothing to see here"</span></span></p>
bad movies......
