Johnny Depp is gorgeous and his Buster Keaton was awesome. I'm a big Buster fan too ;D

Okay, the one that does it for me is The Sheik, with Rudolph Valentino (although I like to imagine Dwight in that role *FAINTS*). I also like Son of the Sheik, and Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast (1946).

I hate to admit this to you but I've never seen a Valentino film

I know I should as I really love early cinema and everytime I go to the bathroom at my parents house and there is a poster of Son of the Sheik on the wall and I think, I really need to get around to watching a Valentino film but never do.

Will make a point of watching one as soon as possible.

TCM had several of Rudolph's films on a few weeks ago. They'll probably have it again, as the anniversary of his passing is coming up August 23rd.

Excellent choices Monk's Moll! You cannot go wrong with Valentino!

Thank you Luna

! Rudolph really was a very good actor, he took it seriously and it shows in such films as The Conquering Power and Beyond the Rocks. He wasn't just a handsome face.

Yet I still think Dwight would have made a great Sheik too

Another film I love is Return to Glennascaul with Orson Welles. It's a short film, but the ultimate in *Andrew Zimmern voice* spooky ghosty goodness. It's shot in black and white, and it's subtlety gives one chills down the spine. I first saw it on vhs, and found the full twenty something minute version on YT *thumbs up*

Excellent film, and Sean Connery can still kick some serious behind there, as well as looking smoking hot !

I'm a huge James Bond fan, so of course I love him in those.

The Eagle is one of my favourites and this scene from Cobra gets me every time...

Mrs V.: Thanks to those that left goodbye messages and to Endo who kindly offered to help. After the carry on with facebook last year, I became less and less enthusiastic about this board and was frankly hurt by certain behaviours. Life's too short to deal with BS Jun 25, 2013 20:47:08 GMT

Mrs Vindecco: I no longer have energy or enthusiasm to continue, hopefully members can find another way to celebrate Dwight etc. Jun 25, 2013 21:00:26 GMT

limey: Thanks again Mrs V for all your hard work on this forum. I'm so glad I found you guys and to know that Dwight is loved and remembered by so many is awesome! Take care and yes, please keep in touch.
