I watched From Here To Eternity the other day, and now I can't wait for them to invent time travel so I can go back to 1950 and get my hands on Burt Lancaster.

loved it. A hell of a lot better than the hollywood one staring Mathew Broderick.

Love 'em!

I practically live on Turner Classic Movies. I have so many favourites that I can't name just one, but I'm sure "Guess whose coming to dinner" has to be right up there on my list!

"To Have and Have Not" Bogey and Becall is definately one of my favorites but I turly love all old movies.

 

[truegentleman]

Rear window and Vertigo are two of my favorites.

 

[Ice Cold]

I still love, "Some like it hot" With Curtis & Lemmon. The last line is a classic.

Father Goose. Great film. If you haven't seen it, see it!!

Some Like It Hot. Covered earlier.

Mr. Hobbes Takes A Vacation. Jimmy Stewart. Maureen O'Hara. Good, clean fun.

That's all my brain can come up with right now......

It's A Wonderful Life
The Crowd

Also, the classics of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. "The General", "The Kid" and "Modern Times" are great films in my mind - but if you're looking for some quickies, "One Week" and "Cops" are two great works by Keaton.

My roommates think I such a weirdo for partaking in old films. It's sort of insulting, in some light, since the films of that era adhere to a different approach to movie making. It was much more simple, yet as Citizen Kane and The Crowd most certiantly show, it can be an incredibly powerful medium.

Oh well.

 

[Lost Cause]

"Singing in the Rain" "On the Town" "African Queen" or any Hepburn/Tracy get together!

 

[kotori]

All of the above are excellent

One of my favorite foreign films:

Mon Oncle, by Jacques Tati, as M. Hulot. The last word on modern architecture, the anti-Fountainhead.

I'm much more likely to watch an old movie than a current release... I just love them. Casablanca. Arsenic and Old Lace. Just about anything with Fred Astaire in it. Robin Hood (with Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland). The list goes on and on....

I love old musicals. I don't know why but i think it relates to when i was in elementry school and our music teacher had a book full of songs from Sound of Music, Singing in the Rain, My Fair Lady Etc.
I love all the old Dracula movies too. Also i cannot forget old 1950's cheesy horror films (the ones where you can see the squid monster's zipper) Like Horror at Party Beach. My other faveorite is Rebel Without a Cause(not sure if that counts though)
