I'd like a shot at Dr No (1962) - Michael Waters
Scott at 2014-12-29 18:09:33:
Great, Michael, and thanks!
Jeff Guenther at 2014-12-29 20:50:35:
I'm game. There are a lot of good candidates, especially the Manchurian one. (I read the book), My Fair Lady (I just did an Alfred P Doolittle monologue in acting class), Cool Hand Luke ("Naow, Ah kin be a nice guy or Ah kin be one mean sonnabitch. It awll depends on yew..."). Strother Martin; love it.
Scott at 2014-12-29 20:58:22:
Jeff, any of those is good: Manchurian Candidate, Cool Hand Luke, My Fair Lady. Pick one and let me know.
Brandnewusedcar at 2014-12-29 21:17:20:
Love this. Would be glad to do Psycho,Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Lawrence of Arabia, or The Great Escape
Scott at 2014-12-29 21:46:24:
All great choices. In fact, I recently featured a scene from The Great Escape. Sundance might be interesting as it was the first spec script sale of the modern era. Lawrence is... well... Lawrence. And Psycho is... well. Psycho. Both cinematic gold. Your choice, whichever you feel you would enjoy writing about. Thanks!
Jeff Guenther at 2014-12-30 00:06:09:
Cool Hand Luke, then, Scott.
Will King at 2014-12-30 00:57:04:
Without question: Blake Edwards' "The Pink Panther."
Scott at 2014-12-30 01:59:27:
Great choice. A classic 60s movie: Cool Hand Luke. Thanks!
Scott at 2014-12-30 02:00:56:
Oh, heavens, yes, Will. Peter Sellers is my favorite comic actor, just ahead of Jack Lemmon. Look forward to your take on The Pink Panther and thanks!

Any interest in BLOW UP or HARD DAY'S NIGHT?
Scott at 2014-12-30 03:02:55:
Lisa, Hard Day's Night is wonderful, but Blow Up would be awesome if you're up for it. Thanks!
hoernsch at 2014-12-30 03:34:58:
I'm in for Mrs. Robinson, Scott, and who knows, Benjamin Braddock might also get a mention...?
JasperLamarCrab at 2014-12-30 04:54:55:
Lots of possibilities here, but this is a great opportunity to write about 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, my favorite film of all time.
D_L_Gill at 2014-12-30 09:55:17:
I'd like to take Zulu.
Brandnewusedcar at 2014-12-30 12:09:25:
Thanks Scott. Almost like picking your favorite kid. I'll take Butch and Sundance since I was lucky enough to run into and talk to Paul Newman twice.
Scott at 2014-12-30 12:27:31:
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid it is, Brandnewusedcar. I actually produced the last television interview Paul Newman ever gave, so that was a thrill to meet him. Such an incredible human being as well as, of course, actor. Thanks and look forward to your post!
Scott at 2014-12-30 12:30:19:
hoernsch, excellent. Impossible to think of 60s movies without discussing The Graduate. Thanks!
Scott at 2014-12-30 12:33:12:
2001: A Space Odyssey is my first Blow Your Mind Movie. I saw it in a theater as an adolescent when it first came out, had a staggering effect on me. Probably a big reason I started to take 'cinema' seriously. Thanks, jasper, and look forward to what you come up with re 2001!
Scott at 2014-12-30 12:36:16:
Interesting choice, D.L., so go for it. I believe that was Michael Caine's first movie role... or one of the first. Thanks!
Brandnewusedcar at 2014-12-30 13:08:47:
Thanks Scott. I'm on it! Neil
Lisaisfunny at 2014-12-30 23:18:57:
Love to!
Scott at 2014-12-30 23:54:11:
Blow Up it is. Thanks, Lisa!
jprichard at 2014-12-31 17:33:55:
I'd very much like to take part in the project, Scott, perhaps by writing about Bergman's "Persona"?
Markham Cook at 2014-12-31 18:00:11:
Hey Scott, I know there are other things I need to be working on... and they are getting done, however, I'll jump in - a bit off the beaten path - with Jules et Jim.
Scott at 2014-12-31 18:08:23:
Persona would be awesome. Great to get Bergman in there. Thanks!
Scott at 2014-12-31 19:32:56:
Jules et Jim, excellent choice. And thanks for taking the time, Markham!
Jeff Guenther at 2015-01-06 04:01:16:
Zulu is a good one.
Mark Twain at 2015-01-08 19:26:55:
Hi Scott, If there is still room and nobody's taken it I'd like to do The Loved One,(1965), it's still a classic satire and one of my favorites.
Scott at 2015-01-08 23:30:41:
The Loved One is all yours, Mark. Thanks!
Mark Twain at 2015-01-09 18:56:48:
O.K. Scott. I'm on it. TY MT
Mark Twain at 2015-01-26 20:43:55:
Hi Scott, I've got The Loved One done and ready to post. How do I send it to GITS? Mark Twain.
Scott at 2015-01-27 00:58:44:
GITSblog at gmail dot com. Thanks!
