    My! I haven't heard of or seen that film for ages either.

    All good choices, but were these films ever talked about to begin with?

    I can just about remember Magic being given a big push when it was released, because it was supposed to be a star-making vehicle for Antony Hopkins.

    Michael Jackson’s gentle ballad keeps the name of the film in front of the public.

    I started watching Darby O'Gill a while back on Disney Plus after I watched a documentary about Disney's famous matte painter Peter Ellenshaw. For some reason I haven't been bothered to finish it yet but the effects of that film are pretty incredible and it's got Sean Connery in it.

    I suppose it has lost it’s significence since the end of the Soviet Union, but I always found it very moving.

    Cool that you own two posters-Are they identical, or is one a different image or a different size?

    Good movie BTW.

    I own two of those on DVD- "Every Which Way But Loose" and "Adventures of the Wilderness Family".

    I cannot remember which network showed it (might have been CMT for all I know), but fairly recently, some cable network aired "Every Which Way..." and the sequel "Any Which Way You Can" back to back. So, they're getting airtime sometimes, so maybe not too forgotten. (Although I will say if you ask someone on the street to name an Eastwood film, they'd probably mention "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" or "Dirty Harry" before "Every Which Way...")

    Love With the Proper Stranger, 1963.

    Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen together, with a solid supporting cast including Edie Adams and Tom Bosley as a rival to McQueen!

    A strange mix of a New York City tenement drama that halfway through morphs into a rom-com. One of Woods' best roles, and one of McQueen's least wooden performances.

    I caught hell along with my movie buddies when the parents found out we went to see this on a Sat. Mat. when first released. The Catholic Church Legion of Decency put this on a grown up list,and even then "morally objectionable in part for all". Not "Condemned" but all of us missed a turn at the movies. Not good to find comedy in murder. Hell,we didn't understand any of it. Sister Mary Mercurochrome would not have approved.

    I had never heard of the 1967 film The Incident before a recent TCM screening. It's quite an intense drama that explores a range of social/racial issues with an excellent cast including Martin Sheen, Tony Musante, Beau Bridges, Brock Peters, Ruby Dee, Donna Mills, Jack Gilford, and believe it or not.... Ed McMahon!

    One of those films that you stumble upon and think, "Why haven't I heard of this before??"

    McQueen is fantastic and so is Natalie Wood.

    The topic of how a young single woman deals with an unplanned pregnancy was bold and ahead of it's time. It portrays a different era with attitudes long gone--which may turn off a lot of viewers now.

    But the illustration of the reality of lack of options is vivid, and for that reason I think this film is due for a comeback.

    In the Sixties there was a wave of films - The Great Race, Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines, Monte Carlo Or Bust and so on - which had very big budgets for the time, casts full of stars (often in bit parts), and stories taking place across several countries. Nowadays they look more remote than the silents, and they’ve left no trace of an influence on anything made since 1970.
