I have the book Scarlett, but I have never read it, when it came out years ago I just had to have the book because I also have the book Gone with the wind, I have never seen the movie Scarlett, but maybe one of these days!

Ooh... Ever seen 'RENT'?

My favorite old movie is 'The Sound of Music', if that counts as old. ;)

[Lily237]

Pretty much anything with Cary Grant.

Arsenic & Old Lace

An Affair To Remember

Topper

[rdawnh]

No I have not seen Scarlet. I am kind of a purest lol. Who is Scarlet without Vivian Leigh?

I love musicals too! Danny Kay is one of my favorites.

Don't know if you consider it old or not, but Mary Poppins is my all time favorite movie. I love to go home when I'm sick, pop in the dvd and climb into bed and watch it. It's just such a feel good movie and it's a great musical too!

I like a lot of the Abbott & Costello movies - my husband got me into those.

Old Shirley Temple movies are classics. I wish I could catch Little Miss Marker on tv sometime. I always loved that movie when I was little, but haven't seen it for many, many years.

Some of my other favorites are The Wizard of Oz, Roman Holiday, It's a Wonderful Life, and Miracle on 34th Street.

Can you believe it? I've never seen Gone with the Wind! I've always wanted to see it. I think I'll have to rent it sometime.

Those are all great movies. little miss marker I own on vhs (I know I'm outdated) I bought it because it was one I had never heard of or seen.Its very good.

Gone with the wind I didn't see until I was in my 30's. Its like a 4 hour movie so it will make for a good stay home in bed movie!!

I loved Cary Grant, he was a good actor, loved him in the Bishop's Wife, if you never saw this movie, rent it at Christmas time it is a classic!

[chalytown]

Oh, I love old movies.... I am a huge Alfred Hitch**** fan, so I watch all those movies. But my favorite old movie that's a comedy is, Move, Over Darling. So Cute. It has Doris Day and James Garner, (hubba)! I guess that it's really hard to pick somtimes, huh?
I also love "It's a Wonderful Life". I know that it's Christmas.... But it is so cute. This is a great thread!

[lizmolik]

What do you mean?

[lizmolik]

What do you mean?

I think she was talking about when Chalytown said Alfred Hitch**** and it blocked out **** like it is going to on mine. It is sensoring thing in names and stuff.

[chalytown]

Oh, I want to add another favorite old movie, but like what lizmolik said, I don't know if it's old. I love The Outsiders. I read the book in the 7th grade, and watched the movie in the same grade. I cry at the end of it everytime. I'm such a DORK!

That is a good one too. My boyfriend told me about it and we watched it together about 4 years ago or so. He also read the book in school :)

[rdawnh]

Another one I love is The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. I think that is the name of it. The one where the woman buys the old house on the coast and the ghost of the man who owned it visits her.

That was a good movie also, and Bette and Joan did not like each other...so that must of been tough to do....

I love the Bishops Wife, I have that on DVD...I am suprised more people have not seen this excellent movie! About time to pull it out and watch it again.

Yes, that was very impressive and seasonally appropriate too ;) .

My SIL said she would like some old movies for Christmas, so I appreciate this thread for giving me ideas of good ones. Does anyone know a good place to buy these? Do they make collections with several of these movies? I can search online, but if anyone knows a good store or site that sells them, please post it. Thanks.

Try Best Buy or Sun Coast. If you want to purchase online try Reel.com (http://reel.com/) they have a good selection and offer many in DVD or VHS format.

Good luck on your search.

The old POW movie "The Rat King"

[VanillaBean]

Too Too many to choose but I do love "Bringing up Baby" Hepburn and Grant- black and white movie- very cute!!

Love Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis movies as well, along with Incredible Mr. Limpit and Ghost and Mr. chicken. Daniel has never seen some of these older movies and I just love to rent them online so he can broaden his movie library.

I also am a huge fan of John Wayne- who FYI- had bought my dear grandma a drink at the bar she was tending way way back when. She loved him too- bless her and him!!

Great thread... sorry I missed this one

P.S. Wizard of OZ is my favorite all time movie.... but this was "old" movie thread

[VanillaBean]

Oh Oh and and Brigadoon!!!! Very Very Good Musical- think Gene Kelly is in it!

Just watched My Fair Lady the other night with Daniel-love that too!!!!!!

Casablanca - I love Humphrey Bogart

[mood4amelody]

This is not a favorite, but I wanted to say something about this movie. A couple weeks ago, DA and I watched Food of the Gods, a movie I saw at the drive in in the 70's when I was really little. Seeing it now, was really bizarre. I am really pretty sure that they killed, actually killed, the rats they used in the movie. They shot some and they drowned some of them! It was pretty disturbing to realize that! :eek:

[LadyAlexis]

Imitation of Life.

[twilight]

I can't believe I read this whole thread and no one said Casablanca! My all time favorite! Also any Hitch**** oh and The Maltese Falcon--great movie!
