The Best Ol Movies Thread

[Mimi First]

Can we compile a list of our favorite old movies - clips would be great too! See I'm a bit of an old movie addict and I fear I've run out of old movies to watch and it's not that I don't also love new flicks but there's just nothing like snuggling down on the couch and watching the old stuff. Any Genre and any film pre 1970.

My list is really long so if you want it I'll send it to you via PL e-mail I'd love to share it too but I don't want to clog up the boards and this is also more about hearing from you guys in hopes of hearing of a movie I haven't yet heard of!!
Thanks for sharing.

I agree. We just made a NEW old movie. Hot Rod Girls Save The World. Not to plug my work, but old films like Hot Rod To Hell and Wild Ones were a major inspiration for me. Many new films from Hollywood are too "in your face" sometimes.

Oooo Wink! I love the thin man movies. Myrna Loy is so adorable the way she constantly makes fun of her hubby. Plus they are total lushes and sleuths at the same time. I also love Desk set I think Spencer Tracy was great with Hepburn but when she plays Tracy Lord across from Cary Grant she really shines!! I loved all the scenes in "The Philadelphia Story" circa 1940.
Good STUFF!
