Old movies and movie stars

[Kimmie]

Seen as though rob made the new movie thread, im making the old movie thread.

I love old musicals, such as singing in the rain, seven brides for seven brothers, anchors aweigh.

I   Gene Kelly. not only was he a fantastic dancer but he was also rather cute in his day!

anyway add your own favourite old movies,movie stars!


EDIT- erm hellooooo there hav been numerous view of this post, but no1 has put anything...ahem come on ppl some of u must like old films...think about jason and the argonauts...the way all those mosnters moved *shudder*

[The Fat Emu]

How old does it have to be?

[B'rrr]

nice initiative Kim!! ...but I have the same question as the Fat Emu, how old may the films be?? ...like 10+ years, 20+ ....30+??

[Kimmie]

anything that you want!

i was focusing on old musicals and films like gone with the wind etc, but absolutely anything u want!

it could be 1980s- Splash, Ghostbusters (oh that theme tune)
it could be 90s, 20s,60s...whatever!

oh and we can also discuss favourtie old tv shows, either *old tv shows* like bewitched...or tv shows from when you were young- seasame st, THUNDERCATS! (i loved that and love the theme tune)

[B'rrr]

[Storm]

So, "old movies" are all the movies that weren't released this year?

Ok, some old favourites of mine:

Angel on my shoulder
His girl Friday
To be or not to be
A night in Casablanca
Irma la Douce
Some like it hot
Gaslight
Camille

Snatch and Seven were really good movies too, but I'm not sure if they're considered "old movies" or not.  

[Storm]

Only black & white movies should qualify as old. Or movies that have really bad colors

[Yonkey]

Hmm, I don't wanth many B&W films, but The Wizard of Oz was a good one with horrible colours!

Only black & white movies should qualify as old. Or movies that have really bad colors

Some of the old bad coloured movies have been enhanced , but the actors i listed are old , most of them are dead , they were really good actors too

[B'rrr]

how about all movies before 1990?? I mean i was really young then and i consider movies from then old   ...hahaha, don't know much b&W movies either, but a movie i did liked was labyrint!!   ...don't know if it is as great as i remember, and i don't want to find out  

[Jael]

I remember Labyrinth! Except I was only a couple of years old when I first saw it, and it seriously freaked me out

[B'rrr]

hahahaha, it freaked me out!! at least when i first saw it ; ) ..i was like whaaaa!! weird ppl/thingies/something ; ) ...needless to say i was young too ; )

[Kimmie]

dya know what, i really dont lmao   im thinking the first is from show boat, but i hav no idea lol

oh and btw, labyrithn still rocks! Im still in love with that little blue worm with the scarf...not the best pic of him, but mehhhh!

[racx_00]

I liked Mississippi Burning with Gene Hackman, it was very sad but in a way it touched me and i have loved the movie ever since , OMG that reminds me i know what i was gonna spend that money on now

[Storm]

Maybe we should go with "old movies are movies that were made before you were born". The B&W definition isn't that good, when you consider movies like Schindler's list or In the bleak midwinter (two other favourites of mine).

[B'rrr]

hmmmm... moveis before i was born?? ughh... ehhh... Indiana Jones!! yay!!

[Kimmie]

ah shindlers list...that bit with the girl in the red coat....and then then bit where the girl gets shot, and then other other bit where the mans head gets....ok stop here coz its gross

[Storm]

It's not that gross. At least it's doesn't have mutilation scenes that show blood and gore in full color for the shock value, like some other movies
