Post Classic Movies Thread.
Seeing the tv commercials for the Wizard of Oz - Made 65 years ago - I thought it still holds up pretty well.

------------

What are some of your favorite classic movies ( Guess classic means different for everyone - some it probably would be pre 1990 - for me I think of them Pre 75 period - Rocky, Jaws, Star Wars. )

Here are some of mine. More to come later.

- Planet of the Apes.
- His Girl Firday.
- Casablanca
- Spartacus
- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
- Rear Window
- 12 Angry Men
- North by Northwest
- It's a Wonderful Life
- On the Waterfront
- The Apartment
- It Happened One Night
- The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
- Witness for the Prosecution
- Roman Holiday
- The Conversation
- Harvey
- Laura
- Bonnie and Clyde
- The Thin Man
- In the Heat of the Night

Etc.

I recently watched Roman Holiday for the first time and was glad I did. Audrey Hepburn was an incredibly beautiful woman.

3 cool choices

- Quiet Man - John Wayne, in a non Western, with a young beautiful Maureen O'Hara.

- Oliver - one of the big early musicals ( I think about 1969 ) as Phantom is fast approaching

- Roman Holiday - Geogory Peck and Audrey Hepburn in a timeless unconventional romantic movie that just flies by as you are watching.

I was driving down the street the other day and I almost drived off the road!

On a billboard, I saw DOLCE VITA - I thought for a second Dolce was making a nationwide speaking tour.

:lol: - Just joking, anyway.

La Dolce Vita (1960)
Directed by Federico Fellini

Tagline: The world's most talked about movie today!

Just flipping through some cable channels. Ben Hur is on, a great movie, but I am not interested in watching a 3.5 hour movie right now. This movie has some of my favorite individual scenes, one off base one was around the whole slave ship ordeal.

So flipping some other movies, I came upon Harvey with Jimmy Stewart. It's funny, the movie has started already and I am watching it in the middle and I wasn't even planning on stopping. BUT

After watching 2/3 scenes in the middle of the movie, it is just a brilliant charming well written, acted movie. Just another movie classic, IMO.

Yes, i like all films, not simply "classic" films or just "modern" films, i will judge each as it comes. Some good classics are:

Rear Window
Spartacus
The Maltese Falcon

Cant think of many, but there are more obviously..... :)

True but I just wanted to put these classic ( older films ) together as usually they are forgotten or not know about. Just look at the thread titles to see that happens.
