I was watching The Maltese Falcon the other night but I nodded off Does anyone like Ma& Pa Kettle? they are one of my faves. It started with the Egg and I which I just love. I think my fave oldie movie series was the Thinman movies. William Powell and Claudet Colbert...Hilarious!!!
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.
Angels With Dirty Faces and Yankee Doodle Dandy James Cagney. Bridge Over The River Kwai. Cant renber how to spell it. any Marx Brothers or Three Stogges movie. Cassablanca Love Story if you count 1970 old time movie.
Does anyone remember all those old sat/sun afternoon films like Tarzan with Johnny Weismulier or The old Zorro flics? What about all those greek hero movies like Jason and the Argonauts??
Witchaywoman: Anything where some monsters smush Tokyo!
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
