    Firefly is generally considered one of the best cancelled TV series made. It is a crying shame that the stupid empty suits never learn from past cancellations as this one was great from the start.

    You can buy the entire season, less than one year, which I have in my large collection, worth every penny.

    It is a neat blend of Western/SCI set up.

    That remark couldn't stand alone, I think. I would have no idea what you meant.

    It means they cancelled a great TV series that was highly regarded, there was a large fan base trying to get it renewed, but the empty suits ignored it.

    Strangers on the Train 1951 Noop.

    Scarface 1932 No.
    Oh my!

    I asked the question about these movies because they are not easy to find and not commonly talked about, but they are good to great movies.

    Miss Jane Pittman movie, won TEN Emmys!

    The Changeling, is a Canadian production, won 8 Genie awards!

    The Night of the Hunter was Charles Laughton's only movie he directed, a very good movie, Mitchum directed the children scenes in the movie because Laughton couldn't stand the children.

    Stanger's on the Train, shows Robert Walker at his best in acting, oh my he he was awesome!

    Scarface is a great movie, Paul Muni was a scary presence in the scenes.

    Try watching at least one of them, I think you will be glad you did it.

    All except Serenity, which I don't recall seeing. I've seen Strangers on the Train and They were Expendable multiple times, since they frequently play on TCM.
