The late John Carradine once said: "I am a ham and the ham in an actor is what makes him interesting."  :teddyr:
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

My personal favorite ham delivery, from one of my all time favorite movies:  Charlton Heston (already mentioned several times) in Planet of the Apes.

"It's a madhouse!  A MADHOUSE!!!!"

If God exists, why did he make me an atheist? Thats His first mistake.

Mommies Dearest as a whole. The hamminess manages the impossible: making a film about child abuse somewhat funny.

Good call. Faye Dunaway is a fine actress, but she is the ultimate ham in this film. I really like what Variety said about it: "Dunaway does not chew scenery. Dunaway starts neatly at each corner of the set in every scene and swallows it whole, costars and all."

I couldn't agree more.

However, there are some ways in which this film is entertaining, but certainly they are bad movie reasons.

     Even earlier than this....Faye Dunaway in SUPERGIRL....

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

     For vintage overacting, no one chews more scenery than CHARLES MIDDLETON....

We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.
