Poseidon Adventure STARTS NOW!

Why in the hell does TCM always show the good movies late at night?

Because their core audience are mostly Alice Faye enthusiasts who eat dinner at 5:30 and are in bed by 9:45.

Wouldn't this be better on NYE?

This film never gets old for me. So well done. Excellent script. Excellent acting. Excellent special effects. Excellent score. Suspenseful and you really have no idea if they will survive. Hackman at his best. People may joke about Winters, but she was terrific in this film.

One of my absolute favourite films of all time.

The Postreisand Adventure

"Why don't you shove it?"

"Don't you ever say that to me!!"

"Shove it, shove it, shove it, shove it!!!"

That little boy Robin was such a little cunt!

"There's got to be a mornin' after..."

Was she a Succubus?

I love Mrs. Rogo.

I want to be her friend.

For a while there they were showing it every New Year's Eve. Was a nice tradition. They stopped it for some reason and started airing That's Entertainment.

The "Indian" woman at the Captain's table is 227 actress Marla Gibbs' sister!

Here she is with Marla Gibbs.

I want the Belle Rosen doll!

Initial casting ideas that didn’t work out:

Petula Clark (Nonie) Called the script "tacky and daft.

Sally Kellerman (Linda Rogo)

Burt Lancaster (Reverend Scott)

Esther Williams (Belle Rosen)

Sm,art people simply record it and watch the next day. After all there's got to be a morning after.

Manny! Manny!!

you forgot one r17

it's Manny! Manny! MANNY! (and the look of terror on Shelley's face is worth a nomination alone.)

In the water I'm a skinny lady.

a VERY skinny lady

How old is Susan supposed to be?

Isn't it odd that a 17 year old I'm guessing would take her younger brother on a holiday cruise.

To quote Linda Rogo (Why we didn't fly I'll never know.)

I wish they'd have cut the line where Stella Stevens says she's going next in case old fat ass gets stuck she doesn't get left on the other side. That was out of character for the film's Linda Rogo. In the book she is awful and you are happy when she dies.

In the movie she is nice and caring towards the others except for that line. It must have been a holdover from the book. Stevens has said that she read the book and was a bit horrified at the character but they assured her she would be much nicer in the film.

calm down, OP...there's got to be a morning after.
