Favorite movies in our subculture

[Tesia]

What are your favorite classic movies, or movies that deal with the rockabilly/punk/pin-up/hot rod lifestyle? I have a pretty nice collection, but I'm always looking to add more.

I have so many favorites, but the movie that I recommend to everyone is The Greatest Show on Earth. The 1952 Cecil B. DeMille classic starring Betty Hutton, Cornel Wilde, and Charlton Heston among others. It takes place among a traveling Ringling Bros. - Barnum and Bailey Circus. If you love classic movies, romance, action, and the circus then you'll love this movie. My favorite scene has to be when Dorothy Lamour sings "Lovely Luawana Lady."

I love Marilyn Monroe movies. Niagara is such a great movie, but who can forget Let's Make Love, Some Like It Hot, Misfits, and of course Seven Year Itch! I think it's really neat how they are going to see The Creature From the Black Lagoon, another favorite!

I gotta agree with you Betty Red!! Love Elvis, however I have been hooked on Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Breakfast at Tiffanys lately.

Wild at Heart. Now that's a romantic movie! Who's guilty of not seeing this one? You've got great music, including a song by Chris Isaac. You've got Laura Dern speaking with a sexy southern accent. You've got Nicolas Cage wearing a snake skin jacket. Oh yes, lets not forget the 64 ragtop T-bird. Lots of love, lots of blood... good stuff! Granted it's no film noir, however a classic in it's own right.

This is way before that. Did I show you the autographed photo, I have from her? By the way, her mom was also in Wild at Heart. She actually plays Laura's mom.
