I love old movies and the stars that were the headliners then. I am not a huge fan of the newest stuff for the most part. I have always watched the "oldies" since I was little. I really love almost all of them but some of my favorites are the two I just mentioned and also Elizebeth Taylor; Bette Davis, Rock Hudson....to name a few! Who do you like? Do you have a favorite movie? And why is it?

Hey h.w. I also love old movies, my favorites are westerns.I loved John Wayne movies like Rio Bravo or The man that shot liberty Vance. There's so much more that i can't remember of hand.Oh and lets not forget Burt Lancaster, Charlton Heston and Kirk Dougles just to name a few.I almost forgot Marlon Brando i loved him in A streetcar named desire.

The Philadelphia Story is definetely a great film the banter of the 40s with smart women who and men neither intimidated by the other. I remember seeing Great Expectations by David Lean and being blown away and what surprised me more was that it was nearly 50 years old when I saw it first. I must admit though that I like all cinema and though I agree that though there are a great deal more films available that quantity is not synonymous with quality there are sum gems that are produced to this day, they just have to mature.


myLot reputation of 80/100. hornswaggled (861)   ranked 620 out of 628 in tv  4 months ago

You are right...there are some that are great although I noticed that they don't always seem to be the box office hits. I know that happened back then too but they are all considered pretty good now even if they weren't considered a success back in the day. I agree with you on the Philadelphia story and Great Expectations too....I had forgotten all about that one! Thanks for reminding me and responding to my discussion.

I absolutely love James Stewart and Donna Reed in "It's a Wonderful Life." Call me corny but I can't watch that too many times. I also agree with dragon... I love "The Duke" John Wayne. I grew up watching him. My uncles and my grandparents really loved to watch.


myLot reputation of 80/100. hornswaggled (861)   ranked 620 out of 628 in tv  4 months ago

McB...that has to be one of the all time fav's at this house! My whole family loves it and it's sappy yes....but it's nice to have a great ending movie with a moral attached to it for a change. The new stuff seems to want to shock you with a "message" but it is so depressing sometimes. I just like a happy ending 'cuz the real life thing isn't always that way! Thanks for answering! Oh and I love "Big Jake" too. His son Patrick in the movie is soooo yummy! he! he!

Jimmy Stewart is, hands down, my favorite actor ever. There is just something so genuine about him that comes through in all of his characters. If I had to pick, Rear Window is undoubtedly the best movie he made. I can still remember hiding under a blanket on the couch while I watched this movie for the first time as a kid.


myLot reputation of 80/100. hornswaggled (861)   ranked 620 out of 628 in tv  4 months ago

That is my favorite "hitch" movie. I have probably watched it about a hundred times. I think that the part where Grace Kelly comes in with that beautiful black and white number she's wearing has to be my all time favorite part in any movie. I love the way women dressed back then. We are all in jeans(me included) and there is no romance anymore...don't you think?

I love the old movies and old time stars too. I loved Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda, William Holden and many others. Gone With the Wind has to be my favorite of the old movies, that's still a classic. There are so many great ones it would take all night to name all my favorites and even then I'm sure I'd forget a bunch.

Me too annie....I love Jimmie Stewart! The movie "Rear Window" is one of my favorites...and I love Henry Fonda in anything! I loved Gone with the Wind and it was cool when I was little I used to watch these kinds of movies with my grandparents. Maybe that is why I love them so much....My grandma loved "Gone with the Wind" as much as me I think! Thanks for reminding me!

Oh Gene Kelly in "Summer Stock" was wonderful! I really think the older movies were better for the most part and try to watch them as much as I have time for! Thanks for responding Raven....
