I'll put it more bluntly: I'm older than everyone on these boards. (And don't challenge me on that, because I know it's true, and I'm old enough to have reached the stage where I won't tell how old I am.)

You probably just live in far less of a time bubble than my daughters and many of my friends in SL do.

Thread Title of the Week 

As I read this thread, I kept wanting to post "YES ALL OF THE ABOVE!"

North by Northwest (go to Mt Rushmore after you see it, it gives you a new perspective)

Anything else by Alfred Hitchcock too, but especially The Rear Window, Vertigo or Dial M for Murder.

Any Jimmy Stewart movie.

How about Wait Until Dark? My daughter got into scary movies last summer, and I told her that sometimes the scariest movies were the ones that focused on suspense instead of gore - she loved Wait until Dark!

I love Double Indemnity. And a lot of film noir, in general.

The Great Race (from 1965) I already listed as one of my all time favorites.

And I will add from farther back, the original Sabrina.

You're my kinda gal.

I posted my top ten films in another thread the other day and Double Indemnity was in there. As was The Maltese Falcon, Gilda and Key Largo. I loved The Postman Always Rings Twice too, and a lot of dark films that spun off the end of the noir era, like Rope and Strangers on a Train.

I think Gilda was Rita Hayworth's best film (I still get goosebumps during one of her dance scenes) and Glenn Ford just oozed sex appeal from beginning to end. I can still see his big eyes as he rolls the dice in the opening scene.

Ah, I'm yapping.

The Swans
by Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings

The dead swans lay in the stagnant pool.
They lay, they rotted, they turned
around occasionally.
Bits of flesh dropped off from them
time to time.
And sank into the pool's mire.
They also smelt a great deal.

But movies - I couldn't have a captive audience for teaching that.
Coco, chain those daughters in front of Turner Classic Movies

Arsenic and Old Lace.

Newer Jane Fonda: They Shoot Horses Don't They? (that may not be "old")

Pretty much any Hitchcock. No one has done better at suspense still.

I like the one with Shirley MacLaine in it, who keeps marrying men who seem to die and leave her money - just cos of the quirky fashion displayed throughout the whole movie... I'll have to look up the name...

As soon as I saw the thread title I instantly thought of the The Thin Man series. Nick and Nora Charles were just so swanky.

Anything Hitchcock is usually a hit with me, too. Psycho, The Birds, Vertigo, Rear Window.. etc etc.

The Lion in Winter ('68, not super old) is a great film too. Kate Hepburn was so spunky in it, and she had great chemistry with Peter O'Toole. They remind me of Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branaugh in Much Ado.. or vice versa.

The Caine Mutiny. Bogart did paranoid exceptionally well.

And a guilty pleasure.. all those old stop-motion animation movies like Sinbad and Clash of the Titans. Ohh I loved those things as a kid.
