College professor / administrator in Pennsylvania. I love classic films: primarily Film Noir, Gangster Films, Women's Melodrama, Westerns, Screwball Comedies, and Musicals. I'm also fond of foreign films, cult/exploitation films (thanks to my friends here!), and any kind of trashy B-Crime picture.
I'm obsessed with the Academy Awards, and watching films from lists that I create for myself.
My favorite film of all time is "The Best Years of Our Lives," and my favorite performers are Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, William Holden, Burt Lancaster, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, and the exquisite Veronica Lake.
My avatar is Alan Ladd from the poster for "This Gun for Hire."
Other than movies, I enjoy comic books, fantasy football, and golf!
I recently caught the thread between you and B-Independent, and I was gobsmacked. Glad you started this group; I am SO grateful for the generosity of Ted Turner and appreciate him for TCM every day.
Hello and thank you for the welcome! I've read and enjoyed your reviews in the past, but didn't know about this community or anything like that until very recently! Saw that you are a new friend too, which is cool -- always looking for great new movies to watch

Brit Noir, a four week, 44-film series that begins Friday at Film Forum in Manhattan, offers a tantalizing peek at a vast, still largely unexplored body of work: the crime films and thrillers that began to appear in the years just before World War II and came into their own between the end of the war and the late 1950s. The full schedule is at filmforum.org.
