Timely post, Neo. We're opening our Fall season of classic films on September 6 with "The Sand Pebbles"; the Fox archive is providing me with a new 35mm print with a Dolby SR stereo soundtrack.

Hello Neo, I bought in 2008 the three seasons of "Wanted: Dead or Alive". It was my favourite western series from the old days and my childhood. I like McQueen's performances in the two Sam Peckinpah's films: "Junior Bonner" and "The Getaway" that I also own on DVD--really recommended!

Hi, Neo. We have our shows at the historic Lafayette Theatre (vintage 1924) in Suffern, NY (about 50 minutes west of Manhattan). The classic shows are Saturday morning at 11:30am, the fall season starts on 9/6 with the aforementioned Sand Pebbles. I'm still waiting for studio confirmation on three dates, but others showing this season are 12 Angry Men, Born Yesterday, The Bedford incident, A Man for All Seasons (a gorgeous Technicolor print), The Big Heat, The 39 Steps, Holiday Inn, The Grapes of Wrath, It's a Wonderful Life, and others. Website is here, though the schedule is not there yet as I need those remaining confirmations: www.bigscreenclassics.com/indexlafayette.htm Hope to see you!

I never quite got what the fuss was about this actor. My friends are car buffs and naturally worship Mcqueen, but honestly, I don't get it. I can only remember seeing him in Papillon... Which movie would you recommend me to see to convince me otherwise? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! "The Great Escape" (1963) .... Capt. Hilts "The Cooler King" "The Sand Pebbles" (1966) .... Jake Holman "The Thomas Crown Affair" (1968) .... Thomas Crown "Bullitt" (1968) .... Frank Bullitt "Junior Bonner" (1972) .... Junior 'JR' Bonner "The Getaway" (1972) .... Doc McCoy "Papillon" (1973) .... Henri 'Papillon' Charriere

During my endless movie-going days in the 1960s, he was my favorite actor, by a mile. He remains among my favorites, to this day. I'd love a DVD release of Baby the Rain Must Fall!
