"Anything James Bond, except the Timothy Dalton one and the ones where Roger Moore was really, really old..."

Lay off Dalton.

In terms of Box Office revenue, "The Living Daylights" was the 4th most successful 007 film ever made.

Harry Cary Jr was also in it.

I'll have to add Das Boot.

Amen to that. But word to the wise: get the subtitled version -- in the dubbed one, you miss a major part of the fabulous acting.

[trisham]

Cary Grant was a wonderful comedic actor. Did you frame your autographs? What a conversation piece they would be!

[Jude in WV]

LOL! My sister has OCD, I can’t wait to show her your comment.

[mware]

Yes, all the autographs have been framed. The Charleston Heston autographed photo with a rifle over his shoulder is in my hallway.

Jonas Salks is in my study along with Sir Edmund Hillarys autograph with a added photo I got from a National Geographic cover.

Kenneth Branagh's autograph with a still from Henry V is in my bedroom along with Frank Capra's with a still from It's A Wonderful Life.

The rest are in my attic right now.

[trisham]

That must be so amazing.
