Okay, I admit I'm getting bored so I'm starting three movie threads. I'm not exactly the popularity contest winner here at LL, especially recently.
Join the club.   I like these threads. I'm reminded of movies that I've forgotten about, for whatever reason, and hear about movies that I might like to watch. I've never watched The Godfather series, Casablanca, etc... I'll have to see if they have them at the library. IP: Logged |

Yeah, I like these threads too because someone is bound to mention a movie that you've forgotten about and go "OH YEAH!". I'm waiting.......... as much as Aries waits. IP: Logged |

I've never seen the movie, but I did finally see that scene, as I was flipping through the channels last year. quote:

This is one of my favourites, too. E.T. is another... IP: Logged |

Does The Shawshank Redemption count as a classic? because I loved that one, too. Which reminds me of Escape from Alcatraz, and Papillon. IP: Logged |

I love Hitchcock movies!I like anything with Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly, Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman, or Katherine Hepburn. I also like Godfather, and other mob movies such as Casino and goodfellas. Shawshank is one of my favorites.

After I saw Casablanca, I understood why it's such a classic...still, I doubt I'll see it again, so...The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane. The book is also among my favorites. She was an inspiration I needed, but it was also so compelling. A much underrated film (and book) IMO. I'll add The Company of Wolves. Another little known one, and while the FX are dated, the metaphors & symbols make this a movie that I can not only enjoy again & again, but notice something new I hadn't noticed before. IP: Logged |

The Color Purple - the "God is Trying to Tell You Something" scene was amazing.Goodfellas - a high Lorraine Bracco flushing coke down the toilet, having to hide a gun crazy stuff. Pulp Fiction - the whole movie was just... Amadeus - too many favorite scenes... West Side Story - "When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way..." IP: Logged |

I had this thread bookmarked, and wanted to add a movie that I thought of this morning. In another thread, koiflower brought up people who have essentially brought trouble on themselves, because they were too rigid in their thinking. That reminded me of a favourite: Pleasantville ~ the people who wanted everything to stay nice, and the same, ended up being the ones who brought violence to themselves and their neighbours, in an effort to keep things that way. I also loved the Truman Show (and Rear Window, and Jaws...). IP: Logged |

As far as Hollywood classics go (I'm thinking more black and white), I have a few favorites:The Philadelphia Sory All About Eve What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Rear Window Sunset Blvd. I'm also a huge fan of Kath Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, and Carey Grant... as well as Bette Davis IP: Logged |
