Let's see..... My faves are Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, White Christmas, It's a Wonderful life, and that's all i can think of. Pathetic, huh?

Hitchcock:
Rear Window and The Man Who Knew Too Much were both really good.

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-14-2003, 05:32 PM

Hitchcock is good; I also liked the old Julius Caesar (based on Shakespeare's work of the same name, and very accurate I believe [hear that PJ?]). As for comedy, Court Jester was a great comedy, as was the Inspector General (Danny Kaye is funny

). But I think my all-time fave comedy would be Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Forum. That was HILARIOUS!!!

**crickhollow** · 01-14-2003, 08:23 PM

Mr. Smith goes to Washington

hey, anything with Jimmy Stewart!

Hasty Ent · 01-14-2003, 09:45 PM

Way too many to name, but I like a lot of what's already been posted. I'll just cheat and name a few favorite directors: Hitchcock, Bergman (just saw The Seventh Seal again, ooooh...), Fellini, Kurosawa, Preston Sturges.

And then there are all the Laurel and Hardy films, and anything with Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton. I loved the Lavender Hill Mob (hurrah for Alec Guiness!). Anyone a fan of William Powell and Myrna Loy in the Nick and Nora Charles "Thin Man" movies? Liked the ones best without the kid, when they only had Asta, their dog.

Celebréiel · 01-14-2003, 10:56 PM

My two favorites would be Some Like it Hot and All about Eve. Thats all I can remember of the movies Ive seen from that time :\
But I love those ones.

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-15-2003, 12:20 AM

Of course! How could I have forgotten Laurel and Hardy?!?!

*smacks self* OH!

They are among my favorite comedians!

Yeah, and I like Jimmy Stewart a lot, too. He's cool.

My favorite Jimmy Stewart movie would be The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. I can watch it over and over, even though I'm not a John Wayne fan.

Elven Archer · 01-15-2003, 03:29 PM

you don't like John Wayne!?!

O well.

I love John Wayne movies! i watched one this morning

I think Jimmy Stewart played in the Shootist. i think he was the doctor and the guy from M*A*S*H...Hary Morgan?...was in it too.and so was Ron Howard. I like Jimmy Stewart but the only movies i've seen that he was in was the Shootist and It's a Wonderful Life.

HobbitChick88 · 01-16-2003, 06:00 PM

Jimmy Stewart's awesome. I liked Mr. Smith Goes to Washington as well

Erawyn · 01-16-2003, 07:52 PM

Ben Hur, 12 Angry Men, Inherit the Wind (Gene Kelly is great!) and even though it's not a "good" movie, I really like The Countess of Monte Cristo

he was also in "the man who knew too much" with Doris Day (que sera sera) and "rear window"--two of my favorite Hitchcock films.

speaking of Doris Day, does anyone else here like "April in Paris"?

And James Stewart was in "Vertigo" too... and by coincidence I was killing some time on the South Bank in London last week and went to the Salvador Dali exhibition in County Hall - and there was the huge eyeball canvas he painted for the nightmare sequence in "Vertigo"

And yes of COURSE "Some Like it Hot", that should have been on my original list! Silly me.

And I'm not that keen on John Wayne either - except in "True Grit"

both

I still like Philia's avitar. It is so cool. I love the movie it comes from. For those of you who don't know it is a picture of Claudia, a girl who was made a vampire by these two vampires who knew she would die of the plauge most likely if they didn't make her one. Sadly, she is killed close to the end of the movie which, if anyone is interested is called Interview With a Vampire.

Elven Archer · 01-19-2003, 05:58 PM

i've never seen MASH the movie but i like the show.

Sounds like a cool movie. You prolly should have used the spoiler on some of that though.

Adrian Baggins · 01-22-2003, 10:43 PM

it doesn't really spoil it but I am sorry, you anticipate that she dies anyway. I also like the movies:

Bell, Book, and Candle and Harvey(that weird rabbit movie where th guy sees this rabbit that is really tall(I forgot how to do spoilers

)
