We watched this one tonight:



Alec Guinness could be amazing while playing someone who on the surface was so average you would never notice them. a few of the old actors and actresses were like that but no one acting today that I can think of.

There is a huge book; 12" by 18" on the inventor of Rodan, Godzilla, Mothra etc. creatures showing all the creatures and all the sets of Tokyo that he built for the films after the war. It is simply amazing what all he did...no, I didn't note the name of it when I saw it last year.

Surprised no one's mentioned the Ealing Comedies. Alex Guiness was marvelous in most of these.

These are my favourite

Passport to Pimlico
Kind Hearts and Coronets (Alex Guiness is amazing in this)
The Lavender Hill Mob
The Man in the White Suit
The Titfield Thunderbolt
The Maggie
The Ladykillers
(they just knocked down the house it was filmed in to make way for the Olympic Stadium in London)


Then what about St Trinians with Alastair Simms as the dodgy Headmistress, George Cole as Flash Harry and Joyce Grenfrell as PC Ruby Gates who was always forced in to doing things by her PC boyfriend.

The Belles of St Trinian's
Blue Murder at St Trinian's
The Pure Hell of St Trinian's
The Great St Trinian's Train Robbery



peace

vinny1967: A few of my faves are

Twelve Angry Men
Arsenic and Old Lace & To Kill a Mocking Bird.

Classics and your right, they sure dont make them like that anymore.


Hi Vinny,

You have two of my favs listed:

12 Angry Men and To Kill a Mockingbird. I also like

Birdman of Alcatraz
The Secret Garden

on a different note....

Whatever happened to Baby Jane?
Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte
