Classic Movies?

[allmy9lives]

Ooh update!

I've just watched:
- Clockwork Orange (very weird but very strong in terms of message and potrayal. definitely a classic. and a must watch if you're starting out to appreciate classic films)

- Soylent Green (i watched this then researched on it and found out that it was really a trendsetter in terms of messages. if you haven't watched it, you definitely should. what if the world becomes so overpopulated and ran out of food? what will happen then...)

-The Gods Must Be Crazy (still hilarious every time i watch it...)

- The Day the Earth Stood Still, 1950's (kinda like the remake but i really like the original one better.)


Thanks for the films! Keep them coming! I'm trying to squeeze time to watch them all. 3nodding

Dont know if u consider this a classic or not, and I dont think many people liked it, but I loved it. Edward Scissorhands.

this ain't really classical.. but Scream.. it a good movie  

[madbugz]

The greatest classic movie is either Frankenstein(the original) or Little shop of Horrors(the older one not with rick moranis) or if this really was a classic my ultimate choice is "The Ghost and Mr.Chicken" (with don knotts) heart heart heart heart heart lov dat movie

[Jenny Bum]

Casablanca, Gone With the Wind, Breakfast at Tiffany's, My Fair Lady, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire, The Maltese Falcon, Key Largo, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?~ ~ ~ ~ All classic films with great stars (Bogey, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe) More "recent" classics, I would have to suggest Clash of the Titans (circa 1981), On Golden Pond (weepy, but stylish), or even for a laugh try any of the National Lampoon Vacations (European vacation is my fave; my bestie loves Christmas)- Chevy Chase is a comedic diety. Of course you can't rule out anything John Candy did (Uncle Buck; The Great Outdoors; Planes, Trains, and Automobiles) Geesh, I think I'm going to watch a film now! Hope this helped  

[Atomic Pixie7]

Any and all of the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies! When I was little my mom introduced them to me on late night movie theater when I was home sick with the flu and I fell in love! All the Topper movies are great too! The Ghost and Mr. Chicken and any Doris Day movie! That's all a good mix of b/w and color! smile Oh, A Patch of Blue with Sydney Poiter (sp?) and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner! Those are must sees. smile

If you like sorta scary and mysterious, I actually like the old Vincent Price or Alfred Hitchcock movies. I used to watch the old B/W scary movies with my mom when I was a weeee kid. Gosh, those were the days. mrgreen wink

Now if you want something a bit more suttle.....hhhhmmmm....The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Abbot and Costello movies, the Three Stooges (I personally can't stand them, but they sorta stick with ya over the yrs), The Glass Menagerie. I'm sure there are others, but I was more of a horror fan. burning_eyes biggrin
