Old Time Treasures...  |
|
 Yesterday I went to visit my Mom and happened to catch a section of a movie and I really liked it. The movie was Gone with the Wind and was one of those old movies. Of course I’ve heard of it before but I didn’t think I would like it. Well, turns out that I do.
I only got to see part of it. I started watching it at the part where this couple come to visit her and she tells them to get off her land and then her dad chases after them on a horse and the horse hits a fence and the dad dies when he gets thrown off the horse and I stopped watching it at the part where she’s running the lumber mill and had just agreed to use convicts as cheap labor. I also got to see the part where she rips down the green velvet drapes and has her mammy (?) sew them into a gown for her…a really nice gown I might add. The black woman, who she calls mammy, must be a great seamstress.
This makes the fourth really old movie I found that I like. The first was Arsenic and Old Lace with Cary Grant (he was a hottie), then there’s one called Where’s Aunt Alice, then there’s Parent Trap and now this one, Gone with the Wind. I don’t know what it is about the older movies that I like…maybe it’s the simpler times…but I happen across them now and then and find a treasure.
Have you seen any of these and did you like them? What are some of your favorite old time movies? Do you ever happen across a movie that you didn’t think you’d like or didn’t know about it turns out to be really good?

1.  palonghorn (3741) | 10 months ago |  Gone With the Wind has to be my all time favorite movie, I have always loved it. Another really good movie is Leave Her to Heaven. It took me a while to locate and buy that one. I also love Cary Grant movies. And if you like funny movies check out The Egg and I, with Fred McMurry, and Harvey with Jimmy Stewart.

| 3. blackbriar (6229) | 10 months ago |  Parent Trap as well as Parent Trap II are both good and I also like Gone With the Wind. What I really liked was ROOTS. I remember when it first came on tv. I wanted so badly to watch it but my mom didn't want me watching it cause of the slavery...basically it's because the film was about black people (can we say prejudice?). My dad wanted me to watch it, thou, so he had a friend record the whole thing and watched it with me when my mom wasn't home. Think my daughter is old enough now to watch it and understand it so going to rent it some day and watch it with her. If she's anything like me, she's gonna have tons of questions throughout the movie. I also like Wizard of Oz. There are other old movies but my mind is drawing a blank right now. Could be cause of lack of sleep. lol

| 4. jillhill (11660) | 10 months ago | Gone with the wind is one of my all time favorites! They used to show it around Christmas time every year but haven't done that for a while...I also like The Wizard of Oz...a long time ago I wanted my kids to see the classics...so we went to the library and got West Side Story..The sound of music etc...they are all very good movies...I saw the origional Withering Heights too! That is so kicking! They only have one backdrop and it's in black and white..catch it sometime if you can! | |

| 5. catdla1 (2658) | 10 months ago |  I love old movies. There's a television channel called American Movie Classics (AMC) that shows nothing but wonderful old movies. Some of my favorites are Wizard of Oz (of course), Miracle on 34th Street, It's a Wonderful Life (I guess I like the holiday ones..lol), most of the old classic horror movies and just about anything with Betty Davis in it. I think the strength of the older movies is in their character development, since the story wasn't built around special effects like they are now.

7.  LadyMarissa (2691) | 10 months ago |  Oh, Honey, are you in for some treats!!! There are tons of GREAT old movies just waiting to be found!!! You have found some of the cream of the crop, but there are many more that are well worth your time. I did the same thing in music. I grew up wlistening to Rock. Eventually I crossed over to Country. Then I met my husband & he introduced me to the blues. OMG, what a goldmine!!! I suggest you watch AMC as often as possible & you'll find many, many more gems just waiting to be found!!!

| 9. joyceshookery (1067) | 10 months ago |  My favorite old movie is "Johnny Belinda" with Lew Ayres and Jane Wyman or Wyatt (I don't remember which). It's about a deaf girl who has a hard life. I won't tell you more, but it's really a good bring-your-kleenex movie.

| 10. dragon54u (9544) | 10 months ago |  I LOVE old movies!! I watches Les Miserables (1952) last night, starring Micheal Rennie. Talk about a hottie, he's one of my very favorites! Actually, 1952 is a bit recent for me as I prefer old black and white movies pre-1940 and I really, really love the silent movies. Did you know that there was a "The Day The Earth Stood Still" before this one with Keanu Reeves? Michael Rennie was Klaatu, it was made in 1951 and is one of my favorites. Very different from the new version, I hear, much more complex and tense.
AMC and TCM are great channels to watch the old movies on if you get them. TCM shows some silents sometimes that are remarkable!
