I have grown fond for It's A Wonderful Life over the years.
12 Angry Men with Henry Fonda is one of my favourite films of all time.
Psycho is one of my favorite films, and it always has been since I was a child.
I was in a stage adaptation as that. I was George Bailey, it was fun and it evolved into one of my favorites.Quote:

Personally I am feel that movies old or new can have more good. Cameras have now better resolute to be stronger. Yet and movies that from years were scripted to beauty and superbly acting. My is favorite movie known to more people is My Fair Lady, based this on other book like Pygmalion by notorious author George Shaw.
70's man, old enough.Quote:

The original Godzilla was a lot fun too :D
Old Gojira movie make are fun for big family. My like is Aliens bigger than Alien. Both movie give brilliant to watch.
Alien stories American Marine Pilots get assailed by Amphibious terrestrial-added Creatures.
Not all marine is pilot, some expert kill machinery. Alien make by James Cameron give big alien spotlighted and fight of queen bitch.
I like Abraham Lincoln,A Star Is Born,A Bride For Henry.This is my most favorite movies forever.In this movie i like sound effect and picture quality.Attachment 36200
mikestone how about you tell us all about how we can get the best experience possible with such a quality film
Wizard of Oz
three stooges
that's about it from before the 80's
400 Blows is also a really great old movie and it's also foreign.
That sounds like either a fighting film or something really nasty.Quote:

But anyway, if you mean films from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, then sure I do like prehistoric films. >=p
A good example would be one of Al Pacino's earlier films "...And Justice For All". Made in the late 70's, great script, love the trout out of that film. Hardly anyone remembers that film though.
I think Star Wars has been remade so much and kept close to modern trends that it's hard to consider the first film old. I still watch the news and see anchors playing scenes from the first movie for the hell of it. That's some trout.
Humphrey Bogart is a BAMF. Seriously. Rewatched Casablanca last night, and it really is an extraordinary film! If you haven't seen it, go check it out.
I also enjoyed the Maltese Falcon, and tonight I'm planning on watching To Have and Have Not.
I wish I could be that cool.
I was able to see some of the nonsensical first post in the mouse over preview of this thread and was looking forward to deciphering the whole post but was deeply disapointed to discover it was snipped.
I find myself enjoying Abbot and Costello movies a lot more than I though I would.
I did not enjoy The Big Sleep and i cant remember if I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Casablanca or how disapointed in it I was
I love old movies. Better than a lot of the newer really famous "important" movies. I am glad all of you like old movies too. Especially...

The acting style has changed so much. Some of the best actors from back in the day wouldn't be able to get a job in today's Hollywood.
Oh man, that was a GREAT movie. I can still hum the music if I want to. It's just perfect.Quote:

The term you're looking for is Silver Age for that period. If you want to watch even older films, we'd end in the Golden Age of Cinema (a fine age... there's such a charm in the GA films although Silver and Bronze Age have produced fine films too). ;)Quote:

Lots of quality stuff to choose from. :D
I personally think many of the actors in classic films could find work in today's Hollywood. Just look at George Sanders in Man Hunt (1940s version), for instance; he'd be right at home in today's thrillers with his charisma and screen presence. :)
I was mildly disappointed when I saw it; I guess it was because I read the novel which was superior (the film had to drop a lot of interesting subplots to only have the essential stuff). It's a fine film as it is, however, and Elmer Bernstein's music really captures the innocence, darker undertnes and inherent bittersweet quality of the story.Quote:

I'd have to say that I prefer Golden/Silver Age films much more to modern films. Need to watch more, though!

Aside from that, Arsenic and Old Lace, It's A Wonderful Life, On the Waterfront, Paper Moon and Gone With The Wind are a few more that I really love. Also, old terrible horror movies.

ah i loved arsenic and old lace
ps should i see the african queen today?
I'm so glad! It makes me laugh so hard. Carey Grant is a genius.
Answer: Yes, you should.
The African Queen is a fantastic film.
It was one of my Dad's favourites.
I love Chaplin and Keaton, but if you look at films from Harold Llyod he was a better entertainer. Physically he was very strong and could pull off most stunts that Chaplin and Keaton would never dare to with just one hand. Still prefer Chaplin movies overall though.
Also love the movie Network. The dialogue was a bit absurd though. There were several huge ass words that people never say in casual conversation that really threw me off, but the acting really set the bar.
