~Aaaw poor thing was it on TCM?

It was!

Anyways i got to watch the original Fun with Dick and Jane

it was hilarious!

Hey y'all. Now this is my kinda thread. Though I hope it's not a 'girlfriend' thing that y'all have got going on here. I'm also a fan of Hitchcock. And Bogart is EVERYONE'S favorite. And I ain't from Mars. As for my favorite actors/actresses other than Humphrey, they include but are not limited to; Bette Davis, Mickey Rooney, Spencer Tracy, Olivia D'Havilland, Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, the two Hepburns, Judy Garland and men, many more. Favorite movies; I used to be crazy about the Wizard of Oz as a kid, Then there's Cinderella (I forget the actors therein), Ivan Hoe (I think with Robert Taylor), Robin Hood (I think with Errol Flynn), BenHur, North by NorthWest and oh God, of course most of the Oscar winning films too.

The films of those days really required you to put in your all. Not like nowadays where any lackadaisical performance might just earn you an oscar if everybody else produces equally or even more lackadaisical performances.

There's this film I'm after too, Rashomon, and I'd do most anything to get it.

I do not want to flood your thread, so holla!

LOL.

You really are my kinda guy.

The films back then, had a certain reality to it we dont get in the movies of now.

My fav actresses are Audrey Hep, Shirley Maclaine, i saw a recent photo of her shes ooold
Jane Fonda, e.t.c many mo too.

i particularly like the 60s, the 70s were fun and the 80s had black people.lol

As a kid, yeah wizard of Oz, Sound of Music, Robin Hood
i cn still watch them all over n over again.

i hvnt seen Cinderella tho.

Men I like em from 50's to the 80's but there are really some good ones from pre-World War times. Actors those days that are still alive are few. I think Mickey's still kicking. Robert Redford, Elizabeth Taylor, of course (Divorce enthusiast), and if you wanna add the not so old, you got, Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon, Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson (MY GUY) and , you know I'm sure. Lemme recommend some since you like TCM;

The Great Dictator
Maltese Falcon
Cat on a hot tin roof
The King and I
Gigi
Cleopatra (didn't really like it, but for reference purposes)
Gandhi (I know you probably have seen it but watch it again now that you're older)

And since you're an 'elf' and you 'seek' people to tickle your fancy go and check the Godfather trilogy out. You must be like, what? duh! Hopefully you chuckled at that!

How old is old?

tell me the era or year and I will tell you the movies that are good

and yes I tend to watch "old movies" alot

I must say I think Casablanca is overrated.

Old is from Early 90s to 30s or older


@Vescucci,
U got that right, Godfather is in ma collection.lol

i cnt forget this particular line from one James Bond

"its just a cello! cello!! cello!!!"

it keeps ringing in ma head.lol

ive bin meaning to see
Cat on a Hot tin Roof

but i will check those other titles out, thanks!

get with the new era
Old things are passed away.

LASIEFAIRE:

get with the new era

Gamine, I really think you should especially look into "Imitation Of Life."

Vescucci, you can't get Rashomon on Ebay? Good movie.

@Lassei

LOLOL.

Omo men, nothing old for this world o

The old shall become new again!

@Karma

It's a movie. A very good movie. There are two versions of it though but whichever you get is fine.

I havent been able to get to any of the titles listed above

Seems like you're on the right path, not like I'm a Jedi trainer. I gotta leave y'all now. I got places to go and people to see

Cool thread Gamine.
No one has mentioned Barbara Streisand yet. I particularly liked her in Funny Lady with Omar Sharif and James Caan. No one has also mentioned Marilyn Monroe who I think was spectacular in Some Like It Hot with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon and also There's No Business Like Show Business with O'Connor (or was that Dont Bother To Knock? nah!).

Oh, and has someone mentioned Sophia Loren and that lady in Prizzi's Honour. . . whats her name again?

Yeah, when people join the board

all the ones we forget are supposed to come up

thanks for reminding us

I like sophia

But marilyn? i kinda think she was overrated

Oh!
I also liked How To Marry A Millionaire with Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall. They all looked so glamorous! Those were the days when glamour looked so quixotic and surreal.

I'm  big fan of Monroe o, eventhough she had her hands in all sorts of pies.
