Stewart's initial reaction to learning Kruger designs model airplanes . . .
. . . is priceless. No matter how many times I watch that clip, it renders me in awe of his enormous subdued acting talent. He could say more with a raised eyebrow than Lawrence Olivier with half a minute of dialog.

Our theme this week will be . . .
. . . focused on cinema. We all have favorite films and scenes . . . be prepared to share them along with the watch on your wrist about 36 hours from now. My all-time favorite scene is the anti-climactic dialog between Jimmy Stewart, Richard Attenborough,...
Good choice Art …
With The Oscars just announced and everyone loving a good movie, I’m sure we will all enjoy this edition of WristScan. All I need to do now is to choose a watch or two !
Flight of the Phoenix is an epic and
fantastic movie. I recall studying it in college for a look at the shifting of power. Good choice, Art.

Hello dear Art: great theme you choose. I’m very fond of cinema…
… and the films you brought to your opening post and those posted by our friends bring me so many fond memories of nice hours spent in theater seats. To answer your theme I thought about a four favorite films and related them with watches in my collection...
You've taken film and watch appreciation, normally separate interests, and . . .
. . . fused them together, Abel. Collecting watches with film affiliations could be the next trend after gloves. Blow-up is one of a handful of films so subliminally powerful it exerts a hold on the imagination beyond its nominal confines. When I first sa...
Hello dear Art! You made me laugh so loud when reading your announcement in the Live thread of my misplaced post. Lol!!
I finally decided to re post it again after double checking I was in the right thread! Lol! Thank you so much for your thoughtful and interesting answer to my post above. You are right collecting watches with film affiliations could be the next trend afte...
Our Favorite Films thread is now closed . . .
. . . and decisions will be posted shortly. Art
