Robert Osborne's (of TCM) Favorite Films

His list is like mine would be for Best Actors - they are all from the 70s and you know, fnck everybody else    j/k- his list has 7 out of 10 from 1946-1952 and then Spinal Tap - 30+ years later!  That's how a lot of people are with their faves - concentrated to a very specific period.

I can't say anything about that list although generally people who have Rebecca on such a list are A-OK in my book.

William Holden's estate ought to sue this board actually because for all out talk about the "2nd" best actor of the 50s after Brando - Bogart, Douglas, Dean, Clift - Holden makes a unique and specific argument: Sabrina, Bridge On The River Kwai, Stalag 17, Sunset Boulevard, The Country Girl, Picnic, Born Yesterday - that's a pace of nearly a classic per year........now I don't think of him as a "great actor" exactly (though he's a real good one for sure) and like I always say : Great actors are in great movies - your filmography matters - and that's quite an awesome decade indeed.....no one can compare to that in the 50s really and that's why so many people loved him.
