the post about jawjaw's article on Gone with the Wind, and meredithbead not liking that movie, got me to wondering - what is everyone's favorite "old" movie???? or enough just all time favorite movie?
We know jawjaw loves Gone with the Wind.
My favorite is Doctor Zhivago. And my next all time favorite is The Princess Bride.
Anyone else?

The Sound of Music for me. Need to watch Gone With the Wind again. I was too young to understand it at all when I saw it so was bored I'm afraid. I think I would like it now though. Maggie

Oh Maggie, I wanted to be the first to say The Sound of Music...that's my favorite too! I also liked the Wizard of Oz. Sorry Queen, but I've never watched Gone With The Wind from beginning to end. Do you believe that? Am I still considered an American? What strikes me funny about this post is I don't recall that many movies, especially at the movie theater. The ones I recall clearly from my youth are Noah's Ark, The Ten Commandments, and Love Story Love Story. Seems that in high school there were a few moreto add to the list, but the way they crank out movies today amazes me.

Well. One of my favorite tv shows was Andy Griffith, and Donna Reed, Father Knows Best and Leave it to Beaver. One of my most favorite movies is Holiday Inn (?) with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. I loved Red Skelton and Carol Burnett, Ed Sullivan, the Sonny and Cher show and The Smothers Brothers. I knew I'd be the Hippy Dippy Weather Lady when I grew up and the old Saturday Night Lives were great but that was 10 or 15 years ago.
Seeing a recipe for 'me' in there? Am I a product of my television watching or what?

Well, my favorite old movie is the "godfather". Part one, I've only seen an hour of part two and none of the rest.

I liked Camelot and bought it recently. One of the movies I saw at the theater and cried my little heart out was Romeo and Juliet. And I like almost anything with Cary Grant in it.

Donna,
I, too, loved Romeo and Juliet! I, too, cried with that one.
Like you, I love Cary Grant and anything he's in. Wasn't he wonderful?
I remember reading a quote he made years before his death..."I've pretended to be someone I've always wanted to be, and became that someone."
Thought that was interesting and insightful.

I'm right there with you ladies, with Cary Grant. I loved "North by North West". I also loved the Rock Hudson and Doris Day movies like "Pillow Talk". One of my favourite movies and books about the USA, was "Cheaper by the Dozen". I know they have made a new version with steve Martin, but I am not interested as the older version was precious.
We got a lot of British shows here in Australia, but also many US ones. I loved the Dick Van Dyke show, My Three Sons, The Honeymooners, Red Skelton. I still remember Rin Tin Tin, Texas Rangers, Lone Ranger, Zorro. We used to act them out but never found a really useful substitute for horses - next door's dog never really recovered emotionally from being saddled one day!
One thing we would never miss was Disneyland. Do you still have that show? As in a modern version? I guess Annette Funi...cello(sp?)may have changed a little but I remember her as the epitome of beauty!

Anthing Cary Grant, Rock Hudson and Doris Day.
Mr. Blandings Builds His dream House, Pillow Talk, Cheaper by the Dozen, Bringing up Baby, Arsnic and Old Lace, The one where Doris was marooned on an island and returns the day before Rock Husdon was to remarry--can't remember the name....Also anything Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn.
Also loved an old black and white movie called Mrs. Mineva or Mrs. Mineva's Rose. Has anyone seen it?
There was also one and I can't remember who was in it or the title, but the gal's feet curled every time this fella kissed her--but her feet didn't curl when she kissed her fiance'. A family member told her that all the women in their family's toes curled right out of their shoes when they kissed the right man. Of course she didn't like this guy and there was a whole comedy plot around getting the two of them together. I can't remember the title--anybody remember it?

I love the old Film Noir genre from the 40's. The characters were always dressed up and they didn't use sex and violence to make up for a bad story. I love Lauren Bacall and Bogey, with their quick-witted wise cracks. I was named after a 40's movie, "Laura", and it wasn't a bad movie either. I also like the Alfred Hitchcock movies.

I bounce back easily,sometimes with unresolved results. But I have just been through a lot and this was one thing added on top of other things that have been unresolved so far and its more then I can handle all at once. But I know I wont be given more then I can handle, sometimes I wonder when I am in the middle of it without seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
I will be seening a counserlor (sp) today and have a mental eval. may 8th.

I've got favorites in about every genre but tend to really fall in love with romances, I'm such a mush and love a good cry.
Love Story with Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal - so heartbreaking!
The Quiet Man - just like JJ, love those strong silent types like John Wayne portrays in this one.
Cinderella - the original Rogers and Hammerstein version with Leslie Ann Warren...what dreams are made of!
The Incredible Mr Limpett with Don Knotts has been a favorite since I was a little kid - don't really know why, but I can watch that a couple of times a year and enjoy it every time!
