Do you ever watch any of the old classic films???

[Raph]

I just finished watching a streetcar named desire and I enjoyed it. I'm a big fan of Casablanca and Breakfast at Tiffany's. I've got 'Gone with the wind' and 'A cat on a hot tin roof' on the backburner and ready to go.

Are there any of these old school flicks that you would recommend?

I love the dialogue in them, its not got much in the way of realism but its entertaining and with the spit fire delivery they can get a lot out there in a short time.

'the apartment' w/ jack lemmon

'requiem for a heavyweight' - about a boxer thats forced to retire, the storyline's kinda like 'the wrestler'. rod serling from the twilight zone wrote it

The Maltese Falcon is pretty dope. I had a bunch of old Humphrey Bogart flicks on tape and he got classics.

I agree. I went through my Bogart phase, watched all of his best movies. Now I think I'm moving onto Brando.

Also went through most of the Marx Brothers films a while back.

The Big Sleep
Double Indemnity is a classic noir
Out of the past..The quintessential noir.
Strangers on a train.
In a Lonely Place. Humphrey Bogart in a classic

I rewatch all of Hitchcock films all the time. And, I'm still discovering new things with each viewing.

i can barely watch movies made in the 80s yet these old ass films from earlier decades.

Although I always watch ten commandments when I see it on tv, or star wars

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

I watch classics from the silent era up to now.

Saw 'Casablanca' on the big screen a couple weeks back......exceptional how well it holds up.

Some of my favorites that haven't been mentioned yet...

Ace In The Hole
His Girl Friday
I Confess
The Third Man
Touch Of Evil (the opening tracking shot is unbelievable)

...to say nothing of foreign classic films. Criterion on Hulu+ >>>>>>>

It pains me to know that some people somehow write-off films that are in B&W and/or have no interest in movies regarded as classic regardless of when it was made.
