I love those!

My favourite movie of all time is Harvey w/ Jimmy Stewart. I love all things Jimmy Stewart. Mr Smith goes to Washington, Philadelphia Story, Navy Blue and Gold etc.

I also like the old musical styles. Danny Kaye, Bing Crosby, Mario Lanza

jacqueline trudeau · 11-19-2007, 10:09 AM

OK - really old

Battleship Potemkin. An editing masterpiece. those edgy jump cuts predated modern usage by about ... 60 years?

Steamboat Bill Jr with Bustor Keaton. The cyclone sequence is amazing!

Anything with Harold Lloyd.

Cairo · 11-19-2007, 07:01 PM

The Bad Seed.

The Night of the Hunter.

Mordos Yering · 11-19-2007, 07:05 PM

"A Day at the Races"

Siobhan OFlynn · 11-19-2007, 07:06 PM

My favorite movie of all time is definitely "Casablanca."

I also love "Gone with the Wind." It's long and leaves out too much from the book, but it's a great old movie. I've watched it too many times to count. Once, I watched it with two friends at work (we worked in Labor and Delivery and it was a slow night), so we were able to watch it from start to finish without distractions and by the end, we were actually crying! I'd already seen it a dozen times, but if you really immerse yourself in it, the story really draws you in.

I like the Spencer Tracy original version of "Father of the Bride" and the sequel "Father's Little Dividend."

I'm a sucker for black and white movies. If I'm channel surfing late at night and see an old movie starting, I watch it!

Breakfast at Tiffany's
The Jolson Story
Baby Jane
Grapes of Wrath

Cocoanut Koala · 11-22-2007, 07:23 PM

I like the stop-animation things, too.

I have a strong weakness (can one have a strong weakness?) for fifties' sci fi movies. Practically anything will do, but I of course have my favorites, like The Day the Earth Stood Still.

None of us mentioned "Gone With The Wind" and very few of us , "Citizen Kane". Two outstanding films that were both outstanding and in terms of production were technically brilliant for their time. We're an odd lot.

Brig McD · 11-23-2007, 01:31 PM

It's a Wonderful Life is my absolute favorite
I also like Gone with the Wind
followed by old musicals such as:
Oklahoma
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
The Music Man

Jonquille · 11-24-2007, 02:49 PM

I'm a little ashamed to admit that I've only seen bits and pieces of It's A Wonderful Life. I'm sure I'll have several hundred chances to see it before the holiday season is over though. I'll give it a go.

Gone with the Wind... I actually didn't care for much. (Don't throw things!) The characters annoyed me, more than anything.

My biggest problem with many old movies is the singing. I hate musicals, even when I think I'll enjoy them. Moulin Rouge, Chicago.. hell, anything with frequent singing, evening Disney classics.. I always think I'll enjoy them, then I get annoyed by the frequent singing and end up turning them off. Strange, since I have music playing almost constantly, and love music in general. *shrug*

Edited to add: I'm still looking forward to Sweeney Todd, and I really hope I don't hate it. I'll probably suffer through it even if the singing annoys me, because it's Depp, and I dig him.

Solid one, there. I love the adventure movies. (Unless they're the typical theme of "white person saves primitive culture from barbaric practices" films.) Bleh!
How thousands of cultures survived for thousands of years before whitey came along to save them, Hollywood may never know!

Thank god for the Last Spamurai and Dances With White People! (raspberry noise inserted here)

Classic. Can't believe I forgot to list that.

Also adds, Dracula, Wolfman, Creature from the Black Lagoon... Great stuff all around.

Geniusly done.

I loved that too! But I loved the technicolor over top remake with a young Joan Collins and music! They renamed it "The Opposite Sex" and it was hil-ar-i-ous

Oh..
and The seven Year itch
any Shirley temple movie (under age 10)
Auntie Mame (with Rosalind Russel..not Lucille Ball)
Arsenic and Old Lace
The Lady killers
Life with Father

Oh..oh.. and almost all Technicolor Musical!
Seven brides for seven Brothers
The King and I
Oklahoma
Showboat
you name it!

I love old comedies..

"White Zombie"
"Gojira"

/me likes black and white horror.

jacqueline trudeau · 11-30-2007, 03:57 PM

oh, i forgot "The Best Years Of Our Lives". I've always loved that movie - unvarnished portrayal of a just post war USA seen through the lives of 3 returning vets. Won a tonload of oscars in 1946 including best picture. Joe Pantoliano was a guest programmer on TCS and called it the best movie ever made, IHO. I don't think I can argue that.

Jonquille · 11-30-2007, 04:30 PM

Black and white horror always seems so much more.... horrifying

I don't know what it is, exactly.

More about the actual acting than the special effects.

Vincent Price rocks.
