What is your favorite Bette Davis movie or movies? Mine is either Baby Jane or Jezebel. I also love the man who came to dinner and all about eve. Watcher in the Woods is good too, and I like a lot of others.

Unfortunately, Harvest Home hasn't been shown on T V in several years. I have the video.:) TNT used to show it now and then but not in a long time!:( If you ever get a chance to see it, tape it, or you may never see it again!

I like to watch "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" and I honestly can't stand her or i believe the other lady in the movie was Joan Crawford?Most past actresses don't accomidate my likings,though I'll admit classic movies are sometimes the best!

:eek: No one's mentioned Now Voyager yet? :eek:

I love that movie. I bought the whole Bette Davis collection just for that one. I still can't decide if Paul Henried's the hero or Claude Rains. I think there's an argument both ways. Great, great, great movie.

I actually think her best performance was in Of Human Bondage. She almost won the Oscar that year - by a write-in! It's a crime that she didn't win for that.



Woah - 5,000th post! :D :wave:
