What’s a good station to watch older movies? **Shibb** , AMC and Turner Classic Movies run 24/7. A&E will show the occasional weekend classic, and Starz and Skinimax both show classic movies every Sunday afternoon. We’re on Bette Davis? Let’s go with **Death on the Nile**. ---

(That and **Sunset Blvd.** are, I think, the only non-musicals, non-comedies I own.) I have a VCR, but I’ll try to remember to check the local library first. If I can find it on DVD then they might have some interesting stuff as bonus. I hardly ever go to the video store, I’m too damned cheap. ---

The local library will absolutely have a copy of it. **Death on the Nile** – hm. One of the columnists in _Entertainment Weekly_ called it the best ensemble cast ever. Who to pick, who to pick. What the heck, let’s go for the obvious: _Peter Ustinov_ ---

But I’ll be nice and not play that one: _The Last Remake of Beau Geste_ The other one I thought of was Walt Disney’s version of _Robin Hood_. It’s fairly old, so I don’t know if anyone would know any of the other voice talents in that one. ---

Nah – catching up on a full day’s worth of the dope. **The Postman Always Rings Twice** (the original, obviously). ---

What can I say – there aren’t a whole lot of movies about us Quakers. There’s this, and, uh … Two very big names amongst the top three billed. Should I drop some other hints, **Shibb** (you young whippersnapper), or do you want to?
