What's your favorite old Movie!

[PLaFrombois]

What if you don't have one favorite? Can we say our favorites per category? Western=John Wayne or Roy Rogers. Comedy=3 Stooges or Marx Brothers. Blazing Saddles. Romance=To Catch a Thief. Musical=Blazing Saddles could also be in this category, because of the Bean eating scene. Holiday Inn.



Does anyone remember "Mr. Bean"?

Big into the 3 Stooges. Have most of their movie shorts on tape. One of my many favorites is Violent is the word for Curley with the alphabet song. Oo.

 

[mazdarotary]

I can't say I have one favorite but you guys should get your hands on a copy of the original Gone In 60 Seconds. It was made in the early to mid 70's. The acting is cheesy but the guy who made the movie does all the driving,and it is probably,no IT IS the best car chase scene I have ever seen. I have a copy on DVD I got a few years back(at Blockbuster non the less). Do a serch on the net I bet you can still get it. WOW what a great flick.

I count myself as being one of the few people who saw the original Gone in 60 Seconds in the theater when it came out. Until they did the remake a few years ago, I think I had only met maybe one or two people who had even heard of it.



As for my favorites: Bullit is right up there with Vanishing Point, 2 Lane Blacktop, Dirty Harry Movies, and a lot of old westerns and war movies. American Graffitti is a classic too. My movie taste is like my taste in cars - most of my favorites are at least 30 years old.

Anybody remember "Duel"?? Dennis Weaver vs. a faceless madman truck driver. That was kind of a landmark movie. It had almost no dialog. One of Steven Speilberg's first movies.

[ddesau]

"treasure of the Sierra Madre" "Sahara" Lawrence of Arabia !

 

[michigandon]

Rebel Without a Cause. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

 

[NETim]

Yes! "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Shane" got mentioned already!



There are so many. Here are a few of my all time favorites.



Got to put in a plug for "From Here to Eternity". Donna Reed



Then there's "The Wind and The Lion" (Sean Connery/Candice Bergen and Brian Keith as Teddy Roosevelt) and "Farewell to the King. " (a Lawrence-like clone sorta with Nick Nolte)





"How the West Was Won" should be recognized as well. Name your favorite actor, they were probably in it. Name your favorite director and they probably directed a portion of it.



"The Sand Pebbles" is another great flick. Steve McQueen's finest performance IMHO. Don't watch it if you're looking for a happy ending though. Tremendous story and characters.



"Apocalypse Now" What else can I say?



"A Christmas Story. " For all you Red Ryder BB gun fans.



"Blackhawk Down" The story of the shoot out at Mogadishu Somalia. Sobering.



And finally, the ultimate "pick me up" flick, "It's a Wonderful Life. " Donna Reed again.

Gotta give a shout to the John Wayne version of "The Alamo. " Although the ending seemed hurried & left a bit to be desired. As far as comedies, how about the "Road to" series with Bob ,Bing, & hottie Dorothy Lamour!Oo.

 

[smartineau]

The Sand Pebbles, what an excellent movie!!

The best Sci-Fi horror of all time. It has yet to be beaten. Probably never will.
