Love Story was such a great but suffocating movie. It belongs w Hachiko and Marley and Me.

RIP.

My favorite of the movies I mentioned is “Paper Moon”.

He was in a movie called “The Driver” which was pretty good.

He was fantastic in Kubrick’s masterpiece Barry Lyndon!

Tx guys, need to catch up w those films.

In this household, Mr. O'Neal will always be known, affectionately, as Rodney Harrington.

I think Barry Lyndon best showed his ability as an actor. Having a director with the talent of Stanley Kubrick likely helped quite a bit with what Mr. O'Neal was able to project.

Love Story was barely above schmaltz – not that there's anything wrong with that!

My older sister was a big fan of Peyton Place, I was not. Being that there was only one TV in the house if I wanted to watch TV I had to sit through it every week. I think at some point it was on multiple times a week.

Back in those days most families sat around the TV during prime time. At least we did.

Yes, even a decade later, the variety and choices available on over the air television were so incredibly limited compared to what's on on offer today that I don't think it's understandable to except to those of us who lived during those times and were wedded to what was on offer.

Yep, and if a person can't find something on that they like these days they’re beyond help.
