By coincidence I watched My Darling Clementine on TCM this evening. There is a great line. Henry Fonda as Wyatt Earp says to the bartender, "Mac, have you ever been in love?" Mac answers "No. I've been a bartender all my life."
I thought of another one. Gary Cooper in "The Westerner". Walter Brennan, as usual, stole every scene.

You could do a thread just on character actors.
Start with Brennan.
Follow up with Jack Elam and JT Walsh and James Cromwell.
The list won't stop at 200 much less 20.
I'm enjoying this, thank you Stew.
I forgot to add "Das Boot" absolutely one of my favorite movies ever.
Speaking of "Das Boot" how about "Viva Zapata"? That's bad. I apologize.

Wow! How could I forget "Groundhog Day"? The most zen movie ever. I also forgot "The Ox Bow Incident". Thanks for reminding me about "Twelve Angry Men". I am getting well beyond 20 movies. I don't remember the title of the Laurel and Hardy movie where they are moving a piano up a flight of stairs. Or the Abbott and Costello where Costello is a ghost from Colonial times who is damned to haunt a house. Tom Hanks' "Castaway" and "You've Got Mail", which was a remake of the equally good "Shop Around the Corner". Danny Kaye's "Court Jester". "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". "When Harry Met Sally". The original "Prisoner of Zenda". Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in "The Front Page", the Jack Lemon/Walter Matthau "Fortune Cookie" and their "Odd Couple".
I can't limit the list to 20 movies.

They tried to stop me from going to the University of California because they thought that I would drag down the gradepoint average of their alumni. What a bunch of a-holes. I should have flunked out of UC. That would have served them right!Quote from: CBStew on January 22, 2019, 12:19:02 PM
She went to the same high school that I went to, about 15 years before me. "Hello Dolly" had yet to be written when I was in school, but nonetheless she was already a legend and our teachers reminded us of what we could become if we ate all of our spinach. Steven Breyer, an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court entered that high school when I was a student. Undoubtedly the teachers use him as an example of what the students could become, second only to Carol Channing. Leland Stanford Jr. went there and when he died his railroad magnet father endowed a university in his name. (Rube Goldberg also went to that school. Are you jealous yet?) It was, and is, a pretty snooty public school.
We get it, you're a huge disappointment to your high school.

I mean, maybe this belongs in a 2019 Cubs discussion, but I am zero worried. They rolled the National League for almost the entire season with a shitty hitting approach and while some of their best players missed significant time. They have no deficits.
