What a film. You're right about Chaplin and Keaton, they definitely did groundbreaking work with gender, I just figured they went without saying. And yes, Rains is totally the man. Highly under appreciated. Ah, palmy days! What a film.

Well-deserved. That man was a mystic. I just noticed that you did indeed include Rains, even got his own follow-up post. Well-deserved. That man was a mystic.

I'm surprised. Glad my friend and I aren't the only ones. I was just watching Palmy Days... I especially agree with Edward G., Cagney, Gilbert, and Montgomery. On a personal note, I would have had Chaplin and Keaton somewhere on the list, along with Claude Rains, Bogart, Lorre, Karloff, and possibly William Powell, among others, but that's me. Interesting idea for a meme. I love it. Beautiful journal, as well. All the while I was wondering why Eddie hadn’t made the list…only to find that he’s at number one. I’m surprised.

The screen and sky will be dark, and us... the stars, talking about movies in a way that's better than seeing them. Right now, let’s rent a limousine and head for the nearest drive-in.
