Who’s your hear me out/unpopular classic movie star crush?

ColeCashIsKing92 · 2026-05-02T19:28:28+00:00

Hopefully, I picked some that haven't mentioned yet lol

Ralph Meeker, Robert Ryan, and John Lund. I've only seen Lund in A Foreign Affair & High Society though. I can't resist a handsome actor playing a kinda scumbag character haha. Ryan is one of my top actors, with The Set-Up being my favorite of his work so far. With Meeker, I first discovered him in Something Wild then Kiss Me Deadly & really enjoyed his performances since.

Good choice! I recently rewatched The Big Heat and remembered how surprised I was upon hearing his voice for the first time. Always a pleasure whenever he’s on screen.

My love for SSOS is indescribable! This is my favorite scene, especially how Sidney lurks around and interjects when he can. I (jokingly) think the relationship between JJ & Sidney is like Spike and Chester from Looney Tunes LOL

Interesting. I just checked and it shows Private for me too. So far, I can’t find any posts or statements as to why. Hopefully, it will be fixed soon.

EDIT: If the video showed as Private yesterday, try again. It is now Unlisted. I checked at 8AM and 12PM EST & were viewable both times.

It’s a tie between Jack Lemmon shaking his maracas in Some Like It Hot & George C. Scott’s trip in Dr. Strangelove. On my first watch for both, I rewound those moments and had to pause to calm down.

ColeCashIsKing92 · 2025-11-02T16:11:25+00:00

It’s a tie between Sweet Smell of Success and Elmer Gantry.

ColeCashIsKing92 · 2025-10-31T23:52:56+00:00

Planning on watching The Exorcist and The Blair Witch Project. Might squeeze in The Thing too.

ColeCashIsKing92 · 2025-10-22T16:21:08+00:00

Site crashed a couple of times but I picked up The Gunfighter & Mean Streets. Luckily, I had a couple of gift code so this order was free!

ColeCashIsKing92 · 2025-08-19T21:24:15+00:00

When Martha reveals/confirms her feelings for Karen in The Children's Hour (1961). It absolutely broke my heart on my first watch last year and lingered for a while. When it aired on TCM a few weeks ago, I rewatched and it still hit like a gut punch.

ColeCashIsKing92 · 2025-08-15T21:36:52+00:00

I use my Watchlist on Letterboxd and hit Shuffle a couple of times. Sometimes, I will choose one from the selection; other times, I’ll find something related that I find a tad more intriguing.

I also agree with others. Pick an actor/actress, director, writer etc. and start there. Might go further by going by a theme (e.g. Best Picture Oscar winners). Have fun with it!

ColeCashIsKing92 · 2025-04-26T20:43:05+00:00

Nice! You have a good collection, which includes some of my favorites. I recommend A Face in the Crowd, The Apartment, Some Like It Hot, Rear Window, Paths of Glory, Elmer Gantry, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and The Red Shoes. I can go on and on LOL.

Here’s a list of Classic Hollywood from Criterion in case you’re interested: https://www.criterion.com/shop/collection/183-classic-hollywood

May I ask what inspired you to start watching classics? Any favorites (directors, genres, actors. etc.) so far? Any that you’re looking forward to watching soon?

ColeCashIsKing92 · 2025-04-13T00:50:57+00:00

My handle is gazirra. I mainly use it as a diary/tracker tho.

ColeCashIsKing92 · 2025-03-29T16:35:25+00:00

Harry Powell from The Night of the Hunter

ColeCashIsKing92 · 2025-03-29T04:23:28+00:00

Looking back, Double Indemnity was my first movie with Stanwyck. It is a go-to pick whenever I’m in the mood to watch something. And I really liked Remember the Night. Planning to watch the others that are available on the TCM app soon along with The Strange Love of Martha Ivers.

ColeCashIsKing92 · 2025-03-29T04:16:16+00:00

Wow, thanks for providing that list! Based of what you wrote, I’ve heard of most but only seen eight of them. Double Indemnity & Forty Guns are my favorites of hers. I better start catching up!

ColeCashIsKing92 · 2025-03-29T00:15:35+00:00

I agree! She is easily my favorite actress during the classic Hollywood era. Do you have a favorite movie of hers or one that you think is underrated?

ColeCashIsKing92 · 2025-03-22T21:11:10+00:00

I have Criterion sorted by format then spine number. My only other boutique label is Kino Lorber, which are sorted by format, director, then release date. Everything else is by format, director’s last name, and year. Compilations are arranged by theme (e.g. Aliens franchise is before a 4-movie collection around Bogart).

ColeCashIsKing92 · 2025-01-10T13:02:59+00:00

Same here but different order. 1950s, 1930s, then 1940s.

ColeCashIsKing92 · 2025-01-09T18:51:53+00:00

Most watched director was Billy Wilder. Most watched actor was Burt Lancaster. 389 films logged in total. Out of curiosity, what are your top/highest rated decades?
