Don’t you love old movies?? Tonight we went out to dinner and then came home to watch “The Thin Man,” and “The Return of the Thin Man.” While I like William Powell and Myrna Loy, I think Cary Grant is probably my favorite actor. Have you ever seen “I was a Male War Bride”?? I watched it so many times that I had the script memorized.
Fred is addicted to the Marx Brothers. We have all their movies on tape. I hope I never have to spend another New Year’s Eve watching the collected works of the Marx Brothers! *G*
A number of years ago the American Film Institute created several shows along the lines of The Best 100 American Films of the 20th Century. We watched, and for days discussed their choices and ranking. I was always unhappy that Sci-fi wasn’t adequately represented, but I was pleased to see how many times Katherine Hepburn’s movies were listed.
My all time favorite tear-jerker?? Probably “Out of Africa,” but “Ryan’s Daughter” runs a close second.
Fred bought me a DVD player for the table where I piece my quilts. I’ve purchased about 20 DVDs in the past 10 months, and the choices were really odd. Bruce Willis’s quirkiest movies are represented, with “Hudson Hawke” and “The Fifth Element.” “Miss Congeniality” and “Pretty Woman” are the chick flicks. “First Contact” from Star Trek is the only sci-fi so far. I have both the Harry Potter movies, and have just about worn out the first one! THe only war movie is “Bridge on the River Kwai.” Cary Grant shows up several times. “It Takes a Thief,” and “Charade” are two of them.
If you could only choose one movie to watch again and again, what would you pick?
Arrrgh!!!
It's just my state of mind!
Actually, there are quite a few. The Matrix, or maybe Shrek… Shrek was an absolutely great movie, you know… and Ice Age… When you have a three year old, you are forced to watch them over and over, and learn to appreciate the things you didn’t notice the first time.
I agree with Mad Bull and I so love the donkey on the karokee “Baby’s Got Back”, but my all time favorite movies of all time are two first and fore most “Gone With The Wind” and “Wizard Of Oz”. However, if we are instant turn on ~ anything with Patrick swazey disrobing Hell I’m there!!!! Tobey Keith hasn’t made a video or movie that I’m aware of where he strips so therefore I’m stuck with Patrick for the moment *S*
Mad Bull, is Monster’s Inc. too scary for little ones? I’ve seen that and enjoyed it. You’re right about there being a lot of other choices out there.
Jet, those are great movies. I know I’m going to catch it here, but who is Tobey Keith??
Buff, my 4 yr old loves Monster’s Inc.
Tobey Keith is a c&w singer that she’s gaga over…he sings “The angry american” (plus several others that are very good!)
I would have to choose a ‘set’ of movies, and it would have to be Star Wars…which is odd because I’ve seen them all so many times already!!
hmmm..or maybe the lord of the rings…
Shrek I loved to…and the matrix was awesome…
lmao…I guess it is a good thing I don’t have to pick just one!!
Don’t you people know that Disney movies will turn your children into blatently gay violent serial rapists. I suggest you burn your collections and stab thier eyes out in order to protect them. You can’t be too safe in these times.
