Hi IHW, I have never heard of that movie with them but I will watch out for it if slated to play.

TRK.

Hi Stumpy, I did not like Boys From Brazil or The Omen either. I'm like you, I did not like one of my favorite actors playing a role that is one that he should not have played. Mengele was vile and Gregory Peck should not have played him.

I don't like many horror or supernatural type movies and did not like The Omen. You can carry my collection of horror movies in one hand. All I have are: The Island w/ Michael Caine and The Fog w/ Adrienne Barbeau. Now, I do like the much older Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, Giant Spider, Monster kind of movies but I don't consider them horror movies either. These can't be lumped in with those sick slasher films like the Friday the 13th and others.

Best regards-TRK.

I agree, those were two of his best films. I can hardly wait till the powers that be, finally release Horatio Hornblower on DVD.

Hi Arthur, arggggg, it would have been nice had he made that film. I wonder what new project caused him to back out of a possible sequal? Anyway, i'm looking forward to the day that that studio announces its release on DVD.

Best regards-TRK.

Good afternoon Stumpy, Hondo, Arthur.

Stumpy, i'm exactly the same as you on liking so many of the big stars in the business. I cannot get enough of them. I noticed that they sure were a different breed than many of today's actors are. I never tire of watching their great films and I much much more than anything, choose them over what new movies that are made these days.

Hondo D.L., I never have seen Elmer Gantry but would liks to. I have seen To Kill A Mockingbird and liked it. I am also fond of MacKenna's Gold and oithers as well. Truthfully, I think my absolute favorite Peck film has to be a war movie. I think I choose Horatio Hornblower then The Guns Of Navarone then 12 O'Clock High and then Pork Chop Hill, though he gave his all in all of them. The only movie I did not liek seeing him in was The Boys From Brazil, which he did an excellent job in but I just did not like seeing him play the character he did. I also thought he was great in The Sea Wolves--which had Roger Moore, David Niven in it.

Arthur, I like Horatio Hornblower as my Nr 1 Gregory Peck film too. If ever a movie screamed out as needing a sequel, it was that movie. I do not think I ever heard of his movie, The Million pound Note. I'll have to look it up and read about it.

Stumpy, I saw The Big Country many years ago and remember liking it. I never hear of The Stalking Moon. It's another i'll need to research.

Best regards-TRK.

This morning on both AMC and TCM, at the same time, there were two Gregory Peck movies being played. 12 O'Clock High and Pork Chop Hill. That was a first for me at seeing ant two movies with the same lead actor in it played at the same time, except of course, for the Duke.

Anyone else here Gregory Peck fans?

Horatio Hornblower NEEDS to be released on DVD, I say.
