IMO, River Phoenix, who died of a drug overdose at 23.

Which child star do you wish had quit acting at 18?

 

[alwayslaughing]

Hmm, I'd say Miley Cyrus (even though she mostly doesn't act anymore).

Which child actor grew up to be the most talented adult actor?

 

[milagros317]

Drew Barrymore is my choice (but I am likely prejudiced by her barefoot scenes in Fever Pitch.)

What was Humphrey Bogart's best film?

 

[alwayslaughing]

That's a tough one. I think The Maltese Falcon is probably my favorite, but Casablanca is always a classic and The African Queen had some of his best acting.

Who was Bogart's best co-star?

 

[milagros317]

IMO, Lauren Bacall.

Would you like to see a 21[sup]st[/sup] century remake of The Maltese Falcon?

 

[alwayslaughing]

That could be interesting, but it would depend a good deal on the director and cast.

What would be the worst Golden Era film to remake?

 

[milagros317]

IMO, nobody should remake Sahara (1943).

What remake (if any) was better than the original film?

 

[alwayslaughing]

I think Heat (A 1995 remake of Mann's 1989 original) was superior. Also apparently Bogey's (Huston's) Maltese Falcon was a remake of another from 10 years earlier, and it's an unsurpassed film.

What's the worst remake you've ever seen?

 

[milagros317]

Ghostbusters (2016) was the worst I've ever seen.

Who would you pick to star in a 2020 remake of Casablanca?

 

[HallKogan]

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.

What’s the scariest movie you’ve ever seen?

 

[alwayslaughing]

I don't watch a lot of horror, so I guess The Ring.

What's the least scary horror film you've ever seen?

 

[milagros317]

Blood Sand(2015) was laughable, not scary at all.

What was the best comedy film you ever saw?

 

[HallKogan]

Harlem Nights is the first one that comes to mind.

Would you hold up a line at Drive Thru if all you got was a drink and they forgot your straw?

 

[Mitchell]

No. That would be incredibly rude. I would forget the straw and either get it somewhere else, or drink it holding the cup with my hand.

What is the funniest movie scene you've ever watched?

 

[milagros317]

The scene from Monty Python's History of the World featuring Moses.

What is the worst comedy film that you ever saw?

 

[alwayslaughing]

Your Highness with Danny McBride and James Franco. Or possibly Van Wilder.

Who is the most underrated comic actor?

 

[milagros317]

UK actor Fulton Macay. I saw him in Local Hero (1983). He never became a big star.

What is you favorite genre of film?

 

[HallKogan]

Horror, with Comedy running a close second.

What’s your favorite Christmas movie?

 

[milagros317]

It's A Wonderful Life (1946)

What's your least favorite Christmas movie?

Have you ever had snow fall where you live on Christmas Day?

 

[milagros317]

Yes, several times.

What is the latest date it has ever snowed where you live? (For me it was April 9[sup]th[/sup].)

 

[alwayslaughing]

October 31. 🙂

When was the last 100+ degree day for you?

 

[milagros317]

August 2017 but I don't recall the exact date.

What is the lowest outdoor temperature you have ever experienced?

What's the largest amount of snow (feet) that you've ever seen?
