Old classic movies!

[Betticus]

I found a bunch of old classics on a cool website that you can download or watch in the divx player.

Soooo, I got an old Sherlock Holmes flick and a Charlie Chan mystery, both in black and white.

They have lots of other stuff but the real old ones are cool.

And you don't even bother sharing the website. Thanks, Bett.

As far as turner classic movies goes, I refuse to pay for anything beyond the most basic of cable service which is just cheaper than paying for high speed internet without basic cable.

Can you believe that shit? Internet only is around 20 bucks a month more expensive per month than internet with basic cable. It's a trap! The basic cable is little more than a 24 hour long advertisement for getting the more expensive service. Also, spanish channels and home shopping channels.

I love old musicals and suspense. Especially suspense. *shiver*

I like the old Charlie Chan ones but also some Abbot and Costello. Maybe they have some old pirate movies!

Oh wait, I luuuuuuurrve me some gladiator flicks! All those rippling muscles, little loincloths and swords. *fans self*

I could totally see me dressed like that with my lil slavie in a girl toga, hair done up nicely and the gold chain around her waist. I'd molest her poor lil self in a heartbeat.

I Maureen O'Hara. And Hitchcock.

 

[Betticus]

Old murder mysteries are great! The ones where it's a dark and stormy night and everyone is in an old mansion. There is a murder and everyone tries to figure out who did it.

 

[EmpressFi]

I love old musicals and comedies. My favorites are My Favorite Wife with Cary Grant and A Letter to Three Wives.. awesome flick

 

[00Syd]

I am currently obsessed with all the 30s and 40s Gangster films.

I am going to go back in time and marry James Cagney. Just you watch!

Angels with Dirty Faces and The Public Enemy are my favorite so far, though I haven't seen them all yet.

I think that The Public Enemy is up there with the top 10 or 20 movies ever made. If anyone hasn't seen it, they should go out and rent it right away!

Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte - I haven't seen that one in ages. A very good film.

(adding lots to my Netflix queue tonight....)

I saw The Birds for the first time when I was about 14 and babysitting another family's kids, that is, I was supposed to be the grown-up. Scared the shit out of me. I still can't watch that movie.

Love all his other films though.
