I must disagree. I think that the bulk of acting sucked until the 60's-70's--the turning point being flagged by the child performance by Ron Howard in The Music Man that said that they were gonna take acting more seriously (even though they still had that little regurgitant on legs playing Amaryllis). My bottom of the pile from back then is Jimmy Stewart and Olivia de Havilland.

well a lot of the movies being shown this next month are going to be movies from the 60s and 70s and in some cases even go up to the late 90s. but of course there will be a lot of older movies also.

i agree that there were a lot of bad actors in the 30's and 40's, but Jimmy Stewart, are you serious? regardless i like to keep my mind open to everything, and since i was born in the 80's i pretty much missed out on most of the movies made so i try to make up for lost time with TCM it is by far my most watched channel.

anyway so im gonna look through the schedule and name a few i'll undoubtedly record with my moxi box and watch later.

So let me see if I understand - this post complains about bad acting. Then goes on to list Jimmy Stewart? Oh, wait, I think I know what's going on. THIS IS THE END OF THE WORLD.

What the hell man. What. The. Hell. Jimmy Stewart is one of the best actors of the entire 20th century.
