I'm talking TMC. I'm talking pre-1970. Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, Bogey/Bacall, Monroe, Kim Novak, etc
What are your favorites? What are the best ones out there? A few I've been watching lately: Bell, Book and Candle Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House The pre-Lazenby Connery James Bonds The Seven Year Itch Rope

I love that movie so much! It's like a comfort film for me. One I watch as often as I can but sort of take for granted. I've never included it in any personal top tens but I really should. Have you seen the sequels, The Revenge of the Creature and The Creature Walks Among US? Absolutely fantastic stuff - especially Walks Among US. The kind of film that immediately makes me want to grow a square jaw, marry a sweater girl and live in 1950s Florida. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!!!  |

As much as I hate to admit it, I actually haven't seen either of the sequels. But I have heard of 'em. I must've seen the original at least 4 times though. I once caught it at this extremely old fashioned theater downtown on Halloween night, they were presenting it in (old school) 3-D, and even had an orchestra present! THAT was really neat. |

A favorite "classic film" that I forgot to mention is Bunuel's The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz or Ensayo de un Crimen.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048037/     This one is pretty weird. Kinda slow, but it definitely deserves more attention than it gets. |

If you ever get the time, you really must see them. I get the two sequels mixed up. It's the second sequal I like most, not the first: the one where the creature becomes an attraction at a Florida theme-park (shades of Jaws 3). Great stuff. One of those movies where it's impossible for me to pin down precisely what I love about it but if you're at all into that 50s Americana thing then you should really enjoy it. It even features a really early performance by Clint Eastwood! |
