    Great movie posters there, Piaf! And The Lady Vanishes is one of my favourites, loved Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave together.

    I really wouldn't know how to react if somebody said that to me. It's quite a condescending line, isn't it!

    Mrs Miniver, The Philadelphia Story, Bad Day at Black Rock, Grapes of Wrath, Tobacco Road, Gods Little Acre, Picnic, Saratoga Trunk-----

    I saw so, so many black and whites in the 40s --for 12 cents! At 13, it went to a quarter, which adults also paid.

    Also, any Charlie Chan movie that Mantan Moreland.

    Cant really think of a single movie that predates The Good, The Bad and The Ugly that ive liked enough to watch like 5 times or more

    Fantastic Voyage when I was a kid

    But i dont get what most people are on about with these 'classic movies'. Citizen Kane was kind of dumb. Gone with the wind is boring. Some like it hot - all the 'jokes' seem to revolve around how ridiculous curtis and lemon look in drag

    Oh, forgot about Its a wonderful life. That was movie magic

    And one of the Gary Cooper movies, Seargant York i think

    Apart from those, anything pre 1960ish ...Yawn!

    Oh and To Kill a mockingbird, but whatshisface in that was an early crush so maybe i liked it more than was necessary

    Of Mice and Men 1939
    A Tree Grows in Brooklyn 1945
    Anna and the King of Siam 1946
    Miracle on 34th Street 1947

    And so on.

    Thinking this over, there aren't many films from any era that I'd watch five or more times!
    But I'll try again: (Maybe full screen view will work better for ya when viewing the trailers ;))

    How about Fantasia, 1940? A ground breaking animated movie. Should be great in HD.
    Or King Solomon's Mines, 1950. The Indiana Jones film of the fifties.
    And for that matter Trader Horn 1931. Two people were killed filming this, one eaten by a crocodile, the other by a rhino. The Rhino death was used in the film. The female star took six years to recover from an illness acquired during the shooting.

    Then we have The Bridge Over the River Kwai, 1957.
    And you gotta love, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, 1964.

    What'a ya think?

    Strangelove is a dumb movie

    Lol!

    Anyway, I'm curious as to what you think a good movie is.

    Fantastic Voyage was barely tolerable, imo.
    The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, was a "B" movie with Clint Eastwood playing the only character he can, he honed it on the TV show Rawhide and never changed.

    I will agree that It's a Wonderful Life was good as well as Sgt. York.

    Anyway I'm interested because I find most of the newer movies to be gar-baage.
