I got a little tired of nowaday’s emphasis on absurd martial arts and explosions and went into watching old movies. I’ve seen the Godfather part III, Gataca, Blade Runner and the Sound of Music some days ago.
I’m thinking of watching Dr. Jivago, Hamlet and Rope and other old movies the next days. But there are so many I can’t choose, and the text in the back of the DVD cases is not much of a preview top me. So I’m taking suggestions on good movies.
2001 Space Oddessy is a terrible movie - it will make absolutly no sense to anyone who has never read the book. If you have the urge to watch it, read the book then watch the movie.
I saw this really cool film noir a few years back called “Gun Crazy”. It’s about an excellent marksman who falls in love with a girl. Problem is, she makes him rob banks for him. So he’s stuck in quite the situation; continue to break the law and feel bad, or give up his love.
Of course, you guys might not have the same taste in movies as me. I mean, look at my profile on the left. 8)
Yea, somehow I dont think that’s right. I’m pretty sure Aurther C. Clark wrote the book before the movie was made.
Solid Gold Cadillac, High Society, Easy Living, Gone With the Wind, On the Waterfront, Teachers Pet, Marty, Born Yesterday, Operation Petticoat, Forbidden Planet, Good Morning Vietnam, It’s a Wonderful Life…
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, most of the Marx Brother’s movies (can’t name any off the top of my head), Lolita, Full Metal Jacket (Yeah- not exactly old… but someone mentioned Kubrick), Arsenic and Old Lace, Buggsy… can’t really think of many others at the moment. ^^;
My Mom loves collecting old songs and movies. As a result, I’ve practically been raised on them.
A lot of the Marx Brothers, Carefree (except for the “Yam song”), Singing in the Rain, and The Great Race. Can’t go wrong with those comedy classics.
Yeah, any old Shakespear film is worth a look. The old Romeo and Juliet…well one of them anyways, Julius Caesar…hard to follow sometimes though, because of the way the dialogue is spoken but it gives the movies the old melodramatic feel.
