There's a lovely birthday tribute to Jimmy Stewart here, at [livejournal.com profile] jimmydaily . Enjoy! And if you're a fan, you might consider joining. It's a great community, devoted to a great man.

ETA: Oh, I didn't realize the post was locked! Sorry.

I don't think they'll mind if I share a couple of quotes from it: 

"I've always hurt inside when I've met somebody truly lonely. Even with my dogs. ... That's why I always have two of them about the same age--so they can keep each other company. I have been told by people who know a helluva lot more about dogs than I do that they're not capable of loneliness. But I just don't believe it. I think every living creature is capable of feeling left out and I almost took it as a duty for one creature to watch out for another."

-- Jimmy Stewart

"I think it would be true to say that Jim actually has gone out of his way many times to be particularly attentive to me. The more beautiful and glamorous his leading lady was, the more attention he paid to me. I asked him once why he did that, and he said, 'Because I want you to never feel anything less than the most special thing in my life'."

-- Gloria Stewart (they were married for 44 years)

Notice a pattern here? Yesterday our featured actors included Grant, Stewart, Bergman, and Rains; today our featured actors include Grant, Stewart, Bergman, and Rains.

But today Grant and Stewart are in different movies, each with Rains as supporting actor. Which is a nice arrangement, because when you're not swooning over either Cary or Jimmy, you can be swooning over Claude. (Ohhh, Claude . . . )

Get ready for romance! And comedy, and heartbreak, and some of the best drunk scenes of all time.

Today we have one of the most heartwarming movies ever made -- and one of the least heartwarming movies ever made. We'll start with the latter.

#12 and #11 )

When I saw some of the comments on my top 20 movie list, it occurred to me: Why not provide some information for those who'd like to know more about the films? So I'm going to give a little blurb and a YouTube clip for each. Hope you guys will enjoy this mini-movie festival, and maybe even get some good Netflix fodder out of it. And don't forget, I'd love to see your film recommendations too. I know there are SO many good movies out there I haven't seen yet.

We'll start with #20 and #19. )

A Harvey remake is now in the works.

*facepalm*

WHYYYYYYYY?

I watched After the Thin Man last night. Talented young man, that James Stewart. Wouldn't be surprised to see him go far.
