- Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1921) score by Carl Davis

- Napoleon (1927) score by Carmine Coppola

- Seven Chances (1925) score by Robert Israel

- Kino's Christmas Past - painful

- Tom Sawyer (1917) score by Maria Newman - saw this score performed live at Cinecon 36 and, to be honest, I was so engaged with looking at Jack Pickford's adorable face on the big screen I didn't notice the score that much. When I saw this film screened at a later date on TCM - the music really bothered me, another painful to listen to score.

- Rock score for Metropolis (1927) by Giorgio Moroder done in 1984 - I saw this screened at a theater in Westwood Village in 1984 when it came out, and really enjoyed it. I have the album.

- The Idol Dancer (1920) score by Jim Roberge - I think it goes well with the movie somehow.

- Rosa Rio at the Hammond Organ on Video Yesteryear silents - I have heard some say they don't like, I do like.

- Recent score for Lorna Doone (1922) shown on TCM - I didn't catch who the composer was but, hey, I really like this music - I guess I'm close to the only one, considering some of the comments I've read or heard from others. Ah, well.

1. The Crowd - he quite likes this one - we often talk about scenes from this, especially the Christmas Eve mother-in-law and brothers scene.

2. Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - he watched half then left the room. Hmmm

3. Safety Last - said he liked it.

4. The General - we saw together at the Silent Gala with the L.A. Chamber Orchestra. He says this is his favorite Keaton film.

5. Girl Shy - he liked okay, but didn't like the long chase scene at end (which I love 'cause of all the L.A. street scenes). He likes Safety Last better from the Harold Lloyd's he's seen.

6. City Lights - another one we saw together at the Silent Film Gala, I don't think he was too keen on this one. Well, UCLA's Royce Hall IS a really crummy place to show a film.

7. Napoleon - we watched half of this close to four-hour movie, then shut off to watch the rest another time (which hasn't happened yet). He liked this, and sometimes mentions that we should watch the rest of it together.

8. Uncle Tom's Cabin - we read the book out loud together, so then he agreed to watch the silent version on tape. He liked okay, but we both agree that this film has the strangest Topsy you can imagine - what looks like a white adult male dwarf in blackface.

9. Spite Marriage - watched together on TCM and he laughed and laughed. Hubby seems to be a Buster Keaton fan (so why is it so hard to get him to watch a movie with me?!)

- - hmmm, I just thought of something. I have known him for over nine years now - that amounts to about one silent film a year. That doesn't seem like very many, considering. Oh, well.

- Lucy, Ricky, Fred, and Ethel are watching TV. They find an old movie and Lucy says: "This is a real old movie - that's Margaret O'Brien isn't it?" Someone says: "Look again - that's Shirley Temple." Someone says: "Look again - that's Mary Pickford".

- Lucy says: "The studio is planning to make Ricky into the next Valentino." Lucy's mother says: "Ha ha - why he isn't fit to touch the hem of Valentino's burnoose."

- Lucy's mother arrives in Hollywood and wonders which stars Lucy and Ricky have seen. " I hope I see some of my favorite stars. Have you seen Ramon Navarro or Francis X. Bushman?"

- When I was in the 4th grade, my mom was leader of my Camp Fire Girls troop. She and my dad took the whole troop to a big, old L.A. theater with a balcony one afternoon to see the new movie Oliver! (1968) - - and my dad teased and teased me during the car ride home about having a crush on Mark Lester (but secretly my heart had been stolen by Jack Wild - ya KNOW I used to love it when he sang Mechanical Boy in Pufnstuf), and I suddenly, for some reason, came out of my shell and shyness with the other girls while in the car, and for the rest of the year I was no longer shy at our troop meetings!

- When I was eleven, my dad took my sister and me to a rather odd screening to take two young girls - Boxcar Bertha (1972) playing with 1000 Convicts and a Woman (1971) - and it was kinda weird 'cause the theater was all full of men. Now there is a memorable moment! (And here is another weird part of the story - I had a black eye that evening, for the first and only time in my life. A day or two before, my mom had dropped us off at a local multiplex to see a double feature - Ben (1972) and Tales from the Crypt (1972) - yeah, I really loved scary movies when I was that age - and as I was climbing out of the car, the car moved and the door hit my eye.).

- In my elementary school years my school, Darby St. Elementary, used to sell these booklets of tickets to attend weekly Tuesday afternoon kiddie screenings all summer long. We would go every year. So every week my mom would drop us off at the Fox Northridge and basically the way I remember these screenings is this: a big old theater completely PACKED with screaming kids and candy, popcorn, and pieces of chewing gum flying through the air - we used to sit in the back row to avoid the flying candy (terrible - I actually got a piece of flying gum in my hair once at one of those screenings)!

- Around 1980 or so - I went with my dad to see Abel Gance's Napoleon (1927) at the Shrine Auditorium with a live orchestra. This was my first screening of a silent on the big screen - I absolutely LOVED the movie, I was hooked on silents. And the music by Carmine Coppola - I loved that too and went right out and bought the album.

- In 1982, my mom, my sister, and me all went early morning to the Cinerama Dome to see the world premiere of E.T. (1982). We waited 3 hours in line and ended up in the second screening of the film, at around 10:00 A.M. in the morning. We were quite near the front of the line for the second screening, so ended up with nice seats in the front row of the first balcony and we all loved the movie. I have only seen that movie once or twice since then, it never really seemed as good as it did that day.

- Also 1982, I went with my boyfriend one Friday night to the opening night screening of Pink Floyd The Wall (1982) at the Village Theater in Westwood Village. I liked my music loud then (well, hey, I pretty much still do!) and the theater didn't disappoint. The theater was literally shaking with the blasting sound - that movie has never seemed as good as it did that day either.

- Oh, and to link this up with my silent movie theme - sometime in the early 80s I pretty much forced my boyfriend (the same one that took me to the Pink Floyd movie - see above) to see Safety Last (1923) with me at the L.A. County Museum of Art's Bing Theater. After the movie, he thanked me saying "That was REALLY funny - thanks so much for making me see it". Wow - a convert. While in the theater I saw a strange guy sitting alone and dressed up like Harold Lloyd. When the movie was over I noticed him slip quietly off into the darkened night, sort of in the direction of the La Brea Tar Pits. Many years later, at another screening of a Harold Lloyd film, I saw the SAME guy dressed as Harold Lloyd, with a much older-looking, yet still the same face, and the same outfit - and again, saw him slip off alone into the night.

- The Wizard of Oz (1939) - my very favorite movie as a kid - and what kid doesn't love this?! Still love it. The two TV events I used to look forward to the most in the 60s were the annual screenings of The Wizard of Oz and Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer.

- The Bad Seed (1956) - we were the only kids in the neighborhood "allowed" to watch this. It seems pretty tame compared to what kids see now.

- Gidget (1959) - great beach musical I used to watch as often as it was on in my younger days. Actually, I still do.

- Pillow Talk (1959) - ditto - - used to watch this every time it was on, I still do.

- Beach Blanket Bingo (1965) - well, I used to really have a patch in my junior high years of loving all the "Beach" movies. Gidget and Beach Blanket Bingo were my two favorites.

- The Nanny (1964) - not exactly an "old" movie when I was a kid, but seemed old to me then - maybe 'cause it's in black and white. Funny thing, now it seems kind of recent.

- Hans Christian Anderson (1952) - Danny Kaye musical, I used to watch a lot when I was a kid. I used to like to sing some of the songs from this (oh gosh - actually, I still do), namely: "Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen", "Inchworm", and "Thumbelina".

- ALL Shirley Temple movies, especially The Little Princess (1939)

- ALL movies with giant insects, Godzilla, King Kong, etc. - I loved all those movies as a kid and actually found them "scary".

- X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963) - I actually haven't seen this in years, but when I was a kid I used to watch it every time they showed it. This fun sci-fi film used to really catch my fancy for some reason.

- Napoleon (1927) - My very favorite scene in this four-hour movie is right near the beginning. I LOVE the snowball fight - and my fave moment in the snowball fight is a really neat shot of the face of young Napoleon leading the battle which is fast cut back and forth with shots of the fight. The fast-paced editing gets faster and faster until all you see is his face filling the screen. Love it. That part of the movie also happens to have my favorite segment of music from the Carmine Coppola score.

- Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1921) - The whole movie is one great scene after another - but I think the part I look forward to the most is a neat shot in the middle of the film. The "stranger" relates the story of the four horsemen to Valentino and his manservant-partner-guy and we see images of the horsemen on screen as the story is told, including my favorite shot - the four horsemen riding across the screen and right into the camera.

- The Crowd (1928) - Again, this is a movie full of great scenes. I think the scene I enjoy the most is the Christmas Eve scene where poor hubby has to contend with the arrival of a VERY sour mother-in-law and brother-in-laws who clearly don't think too much of him. He finally is sent to get booze from a pal of his, but ends up frolicking with a flapper (flapper: "you're just a big piece of heaven" - or something like that), and doesn't come back 'til the middle of the night. Really amusing.

- Girl Shy (1924) - Favorite scene is the quite amusing enactment of a couple of Harold's "Love Affairs" - "My Flapper" and "My Vampire" - from the book he is writing called "The Secret of Making Love" (by one who knows and knows).
