What a great line-up to end the year! TCM's movie list for New Year's Eve is:

The Man Who Knew Too Much
Marnie
Shadow of a Doubt
Psycho
Vertigo
Rear Window
and 5 of the Thin Man movies.

Shadow of a Doubt (1943)

Spoiler. Don't read if ya don't wanna know stuff.

Spoiler:

One of Hitchcock's better ones.
Joseph Cotton. He wasn't the best looking actor, but there is something quite likable about him. Great casting choice by Hitchcock.

Oh, I also sat through Marnie again and still find it dull.

Hee hee.
The box set that I bought long ago that included 3 versions of Close Encounters of the Third Kind comes with a poster sized flow chart of what's in what version and what's been cut etc.
How funny.

Pride and Prejudice? Which one? The Firth one or the Knightley one or the Greer Garson one?
I love all of them.

There are two Firth ones if you count "Bridget Jones's Diary." This was the Knightley one.

It's because it works well on children who have their parents wrapped around their fingers.

So if those parents grow a spine the crap will eventually stop being profitable and we can eventually get some quality stuff?? I mean, it's one thing to dote on your kids, but dude... sometimes...

I think I'm gonna watch "Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas" again tonight.

It's possibly my favorite Jim Henson special, and there isn't a single Christmas song in it.

Matt - Maddie loved it. And her favorite part is the out-takes.

Spoiler: It's interesting to watch this movie again when you know what the outcome is. The wholesome Uncle Charlie at the beginning of the film is quite a villain. Some of the looks he gives his niece early on are creepy. "Sing at the table and you'll marry a crazy husband." lol! One of Hitchcock's better ones. Joseph Cotton. He wasn't the best looking actor, but there is something quite likable about him. Great casting choice by Hitchcock. Oh, I also sat through Marnie again and still find it dull.
