Cool old movie-The Apartment

[Oh Haha]

If you like classic movies, check this one out. Jack Lemmon, Shirley McLaine, and several other folks you will recognize are in it.

It's odd because, unlike many movies out today there is no cursing, nudity, or car chases/gunfights. Just a good, old fashioned movie about executives that cheat on their wives using the apartment of a subordinate.

I gotta say, Shirley was a hottie in those days.


Another cool movie is "Under the Yum Yum tree". I think one of the Petticoat Junction chicks are in it plus many other good looking gals.

Yeah, I know. I have no life.

Cute as a button. Forbidden-fruit-cute.

I know he had talent, but once you've seen a Jack Lemon movie......

If you want to see more of the dad from My Three Sons (Fred MacMurray;aka Steve Douglas) playing a morally corrupt badass check out Double Indemnity sometime.

Jeepers, Biff! Some of those old Billy Wilder movies sure had a lot of sex and violence in them!

That's funny as I thought the same thing. Although the characters are different, he still has the same nuances, for lack of a better term, as Jack Lemmon(the(the person).

Yum Yum was pretty weak..

I liked "Good Neighbor Sam" it was also fluff..but it had its moments with Romey and Louis Nye as the Snooper

Billy Wilder is probably the bestest Directoray ever...Five Graves to Cairo, Double Indemity, Sunset Blvd, Sabrina, Some Like It Hot, The Apartment, Irma La Douce, Kiss Me Stupid, The Front Page, Fortune Cookie, and Private Life Of Sherlock Holmes

OHHH Geezus..and I suppose you liked John Wayne..and his acting ability. OR OR Jack Nicholson...tell me it ain't always Jack..

[Oh Haha]

Actually, I am not a big fan of John Wayne. I liked "McQ" but that's about it.

Billy Wilder - IMDb

I don't know if I'd say the best, but he's certainly in the top 10 of all time, and maybe top 5. The Apartment is a brilliant film - it is funny and typically Wilder twisted/dark at the same time.

Jack Lemmon imho is one of the greatest actors to grace film. He has range and subtlety that few, if any, can match. Watch "Some Like it Hot," then "Mr. Roberts", then "The Apartment", then "Odd Couple", then "China Syndrome", then Glengary Glenross." He's brilliant.

How could you down-grade --------!!! The great Marrion!??? -Ask Poncho-Barnes about her respect for him.............goof.

Billy Wilder, did he make any bad movies? Frank Capra is like that to me too.

Jack Lemmon, he could do anything, great actor.

"The Apartment" is one of my favourites for sure.

I'd have to vote "The Odd Couple" as Lemmon's finest though....

Lemon was the quintessential American everyman of the 1950's 60's and 70's

"Under The Yum Yum Tree" is where he drove the 1962 Cougar 1 concept car..
