JunkThief is your typical Gallic Jew boy born on the Great Plains, went to Gotham and Ouagadougou and Kathmandu before settling in San Francisco's Mission District. Now he searches the dark alleys of that city to find good conversation, Weimar culture and (but of course) the perfect door knob.

She falls into the "Was she still alive?" category for me...that's what I said when I heard the news.
I'm pulling out my copy of Black Narcissus to watch in her honor tonight. May the lovely Ms. Simmons rest in peace.
Steve - I had the same reaction when Jennifer Jones died recently, but I still admired Jean.
Willow - It's not her greatest role but such a wonderful film.
Yes, this does indeed deserve a re-watch.
I am curious to know the other 19 DVDs on your list...
