Classic movies

I just watched "All About Eve" for the first time ever, my God how have I missed this?! What a fabulous movie. Great lines, great characters. Any other favorites that I should add to my must see list?

If you haven't seen it, please do!

  • I love Arsenic & Old Lace! I also love Glass Menagerie.
  • i have alot .. occupational hazard from spending 5 years working in video stores

    Breakfast at Tiffany's

    Barefoot in the Park

    The Philadelphia Story and High Society (kate hepburn's in one, grace kelly the other but its the same story)

    the original Father of the Bride and its sequel Daddy's Little Dividend

    Once Upon a Time in America

     

    Love - a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes the eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker - Author Unknown

    AlternaTickers - Cool, free Web tickers

  • Jane Eyre with Joan Fontaine & Orson Welles

    Rebecca with Laurence Olivier & Joan Fontaine

    Indiscreet with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman

     

  • Ditto Rear Window for sure.  It's not necessarily Hitchcock's best but it is my favorite of all his movies!  :) 

    Seven Brides for Seven Brothers if you like musicals.  The barn-raising scene is fantastic! 

    His Girl Friday with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell.  They talk so fast that when the movie first starts it's like watching a movie in another language!  But it's so fun! 

    A slightly newer one is The Great Escape with Steve McQueen.  LOVE that movie! 

    A Man Escaped -another great war prison break movie.  It's French so there are subtitles but not a lot of dialogue anyway. 

    I loooove old movies and could probably name a ton more but I'll ease up for now.  Oh, and believe it or not, I haven't seen All About Eve yet!  So I'll have to add that to my Must See list now.  :) 

  • "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers if you like musicals.  The barn-raising scene is fantastic!" 

    LOVE THIS MOVIE! It is my all time favorite, and isn't very popular. That is my favorite scene too.

    I also love Three men and a baby-not very old though

    The classic Breakfast at Tiffany's, and most of audrey hepburn's movies

    Unsinkable Molly Brown

     

     

    Anniversary
  • Some of my favorites include...

    Gone With the Wind

    The Wizard of Oz

    Patton

    Tora! Tora! Tora!

    The King and I

    Romeo and Juliette (the 1960's version)

    Mary Poppins

    ...wow! What a random list lol. I have war, musicals, and tragedies on my list.

  • I'm so happy to see all the love for Seven Brides for Seven Brothers! It's one of my all-time favorites. Did you know that Dorcas (the sexiest bride) was played by Julie Newmar?? She's listed by her original name in the credits.

    I also love old Audrey Hepburn movies. Some great ones that haven't been listed yet are Roman Holiday (my favorite of hers), Sabrina and Charade. Oh, and Funny Face! The beatnik interpretive dance scene is so so awesome. I just saw a little-known movie of hers called The Children's Hour. Really good and waaay ahead of its time, but definitely not a feed-good kind of movie.

    the original Yours, Mine and Ours with Lucy O'Ball

    I'm sorry but this is LOL-worthy! I think you mean Lucille Ball Big Smile

    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • A couple more that I just remembered:

    Dr. Zhivago

    Nicholas and Alexandra (seriously LOVE this one)

  • My Fair Lady is my favorite musical but I also grew up watching Oklahoma and Sound of Music a lot. I also liked Meet me in St. Louis, which is a Judy Garland one. For another Audrey one, I like Love in the Afternoon. I like anything with Maureen O'Hara, one of my favorite gingers. How Green Was My Valley is great. She was also the mom in the Parent Trap and she's my favorite part of that. I do like Hayley Mills a lot, too. Beside TPT I like That Darn Cat and In Search of the Castaways.
  • I love classic movies so I could say a million. I'll just give you some of my top ones though.

    Arsenic and Old Lace
    A Place in the Sun
    An American in Paris
    North by Northwest
    Charade
    Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
    The Harvey Girls

    I could go on, but I'll stop. Haha.

  • Wow, realizing what a failure I am at classic movie-watching. I am a big fan of musicals though, especially the "golden era" musicals. I love stuff by Rodgers & Hammerstein, as well as My Fair Lady, Fiddler on the Roof, Guys and Dolls, etc.

    This is almost exactly what I was about to say! Maybe next winter I'll have to start watching some of these classics.
