Classic Movie & TV Fans

[Carolyn]

Just wondering if there are any here other then me .
I love them . I love watching TCM and dvds .
I just saw the Bad Seed for the first time . What a rotten kid and oh that ending . Which I will not reveal .
The actors , the movie studios and the Golden Age of Hollywood . I love it . From Silent films to musicals , to Horror to drama and comedy .
Ugh I have so many faverites .
You share yours and I’ll share mine .

Share your faverite Classic TV shows too .

Yep you found a partner in crime. I like the musicals the best, I can never get enough of Gene Kelly. Favorite movie—GIGI. Also like Tracy and Hepburn.

[Carolyn]

Yes they are great . Gigi is one of the best . Singin’ In The Rain . Yankee Doodle Dandy . James Cagney was great in that .
My faverite film is I Remember Mama . I adore that movie .
I Know Where I’m Going is another .

I can go on and on .

Robin Hood with Errol Flynn.
Mr. Smith goes to Washington and Harvey with Jimmy Stewart
The Road movies with Bob Hope and Bing Cosby
Fred Astaire movies

[Carolyn]

Those are all good movies . I love Captain Blood .
John Wayne Westerns and comedies like Donovan’s Reef . The Quiet Man is my faverite .

It’s funny you mention captain blood. I was scanning movies On Demand and saw it. I thought about watching it but it was $2.99 and I know I have it on DVD but I wasn’t sure which stack it was in and I was too lazy to go look :). So I ended up watching the Glee DVD that was already in the player. In my defense I have been sick for the last week so my energy is pretty low right now. But if I can find it I will probably watch it sometime this week.

I raised my kids on Classic movies. When we lived in MI we could get them through the library for a dollar a week! Love all of the above. some of their favorites (and mine 😉 ) Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Arsenic and Old Lace and Cyrano de Bergerac with Jose Ferrar. Recently watched Cyrano again with my younger daughter and she loved it :love:

[Bodine]

Both of the Sinbad movies and Clash of the Titans and one that isn’t that old but done in the b/w cinematic style,and is one of my all time favorites,
Young Frankenstein.
{The Mel Brooks one with Gene Wilder,Peter Boyle,Madeline Kahn.Some of comedy’s best}

Every act matters.No matter how small💞
(Wanted......Brimstone Lap)
Male Hearth....one day🤞Dream on.

I love Cary Grant movies . He was one of a kind . So was Audrey Hepburn . Classy lady .
John Barrymore is another of my faverites .
Douglas Fairbanks Jr in Gunga Dun or my very faverite Prisoner of Zenda . Oh I adore that movie .

I have never seen “Prisoner of Zenda” – how does it compare to the book?

[Carolyn]

Lets how does it compare to the book . I love both . Douglas Fairbanks jr plays Rupert . Ronald Colman plays the king and Rudoff Rasendyll . This is the 1937 movie . Romantic . Douglas Fairbanks JR is just incredible . Less of minor charactors . Some changes like at the more sword fighting and Rupert is maybe not such a pyscho . Charming , deadly and not to be trusted .
They are both incredible stories .
I saw the movie then read the book . I have a copy still . The humor and the swashbuckling scenes are classic in the movie . The final fight between Rasendyll and Rupert is brillent . And they never fought with swords in the book .
And the end of the fight is just such fun .

I hope that helps . I’m not that good at reviews . lol .
Ok and if you can’t tell Rupert is my faverite .

[Carolyn]

TCM is showing The Prisoner of Zenda May 18th . The 1937 version.

[Carolyn]

Had some fun going to a theater last week to watch a classic movie in it . My Man Godfrey one of my faverite movies .
3.00 plus free small drink and small popcorn .
Oh it was funny . I love William Powell .

[littleironhorse]

I love classic movies, musicals most of all, but many others too.

Anything with Fred Astaire or Jimmy Stewart.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Kiss Me Kate are two of my guilty pleasures.

In a completely different category: Marnie is also a favourite of mine.

I wish we had theatres show classic movies here, but it never happens. :~
