Classic movies: a hometheater pleasure

There are some current ones that I do like watching but to be honest nothing current wants me wanting to see them more then once. I remember Dirty Dancing. That was a lot of fun and can say that I have seen it at least 5 times. lol "No one puts baby in the corner" I anxiously awaited that line each time I saw the film. I just recently saw Gone with the wind. Can you believe it, I did not know I would enjoy it as much as I did. My boyfriend being an actor tends to put on a lot of films for us to watch as sometimes he is casted on a role in which he has to do like the old actors. So a month ago, I told him can you believe I have never seen Gone With the Wind and or Casa Blanca. Sure enough he went and bought me Gone with the Wind. I love it! He said he was getting me Casa Blanca soon, and I am anxiously awaiting. So my preference would be that some new ones are okay but nothing compares to the older movies.

I actually prefer older movies to new ones and will happily choose a movie from the 30s and 40s over a modern movie. I absolutely love Gone with the Wind and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington along with the Philadelphia Story. But my all time favourite classic old movie is It’s a Wonderful Life, a movie which still delivers as much enjoyment watching it now despite having seen it probably more times than any other movie. The big reason why I enjoy these older movies is because everything is built around the story, so the jokes all tie in rather than just being set pieces and the acting is always in tune with the story.

I like old movies too. I have just finished a popular culture class and one of the things we got to do was watch a couple of movies. I am particularly interested in seeing some Gilbert Godfrey movies now. It is amazing what you can tell about the particular time by the movies and music.

Oh, you still listen to your old music and old movies, it brings back memories ya, if it is then you should go for it, it will help you to stay young, it has a psychological side of such habit, it takes you back to your good old days and makes you feel good and even young too and that is good for you.

I like old films, too. I usually rent them from a shop and watching them at home. I think that some TV channel such as HBO or Star Movies have had many good old films.

I;m really really interested in old movies, in fact I have an original vcd collection (cause I can't afford DVD). Dirty Dancing is one of them, Somewhere in Time, To Kill A Mocking Bird, Breakfast at Tiffany, West Side Story (1961). These movies are timeless, the plots are amazing, so is the script, the scenes, the direction and the acting. These movies are not just for entertainment rather they depict reality and give us lessons that we can use to develop ourselves to be better persons. Movies of today are really just for the entertainment(money) and lacks substance.

i haven't seen all that many old films but i've watched a few recently (my mum passes them onto me). i watched a whole load of mae west ones. they were brilliant. i've also got some more serious ones but i have been too tired by the end of the evening to go for anything that isn't light and silly. maybe this week.
