I watched it on tv a few nights ago. It was a great movie. It's nice to see where it all began. My favorite old movie is Gone with the Wind. I wrote my senior paper on it also. I love reciting favorite lines of the movie to people to see if they know where it's from. I also like dirty dancing, even though that's not as old as what we're talking about. I still feel like it's a great movie for everyone and it's been around for a long time with shirts and sayings being used in songs such as "nobody puts baby in corner"

Hi,
I have watched Western classics like
"Mackenna's Gold", I have watched Movies:
"Guns of Navarone", "Ice Station Zebra",
"Force 10 from Navarone" (not sure If this last
one classifies as a classic or not ).

I also saw a part of "The Good,The Bad and the ugly" .
But could not complete it .
Would see full movie one day .

Hi thanks for the reply.Meckennas Gold and Force 10 from Navarone are also my favorite.Yes I watched the movie in a day.Actually the movie,I mean CLEOPATRA was a biggest flop in the history of Hollywood.It took 4 years to complete the movie.Actual duration of the movie was 6 and half hours.But it was cut to half.Twentyth Century Fox,who produced the movie,went almost bankrupt.This movie changed hollywood.

I've never actually seen it only clips.I've got quite a few favourites, too many to mention but here's a few, "The Vikings" "Spartacus" "Harvey" "A Matter of Life and Death" and "Black Narcisus". My favourite Richard Burton film is "where eagles dare" I think! It's got Clint Eastwood and a few other Brit actors in it.


myLot reputation of 84/100. ptrikha1 (4205)   ranked 59 out of 6,831 in watching movies  7 months ago

Well;I also watched "Where Eagles Dare" . I liked it . Clint Eastwood was terrific in it .


myLot reputation of 91/100. manvik (350)   ranked 436 out of 6,831 in watching movies  7 months ago

Thanks for the reply.My favorite Clint Eastwood movie is FISTFUL OF DOLLARS.Thanks again:)

Yes. I would much rather prefer a classic movie than the junk they come out with these days. Most of the movies suck these days other than the animated ones.

i am a an of classic movies. i dont think that enough people watch them in modern life. i think that they were so influential to our mordern hollywood movies. so i think that people should watch them to increase their understanding of the history of movies, and see where modern directors etc get their ideas from

I'm a big fan of classic films and we have quite the DVD collection of them. We watched Cleopatra again a couple of weekends ago. It's the perfect Sunday film. I think on a comparative scale that it was the most expensive film ever made. You can see why when you look at the sets and the parade sequence. It's amazing. I'm a huge Elizabeth Taylor fan as well. I think she's wonderful.

Hi thanks for the reply.Yes Cleopatra is one of the most expensive movie ever made.Tweinth Century Fox went almost bankrupt from this movie.Anyway the movie is enjoyable.Thanks again.:)

I think I have seen that movie, but It was many, many years ago. I do believe I liked it at the time.

I am a big fan of classics. I spent one summer a couple of years ago watching classics with a friend and watched a lot of great movies that I hadn't seen before. It was fun!

My favorites of the ones I watched were Roman Holiday, Philadelphia Story, and Rebecca.

Sure.
I've seen Cleopatra, I liked it, but it's not my favourite. I prever classic adventure films, such as Lawrence of Arabia, which is one of my favourite movies. I've also seen the first King Kong, Casablanca.
I've seen some of the famous ones, Ben Hur, the Ten Commandments, Greatest story ever told...
I would recommend unknown classical films, they're often better tehn their famous counterparts.
