Casablanca is #1 with me.

Flashdance!
Oh what a feeling!

"The Glen Miller Story"
Wish I could find a copy on VHS or DVD.

The one with Steve Allen? If you have TCM, Turner Classic Movies as a TV channel you can order from them.

the original with Jimmy Stewart is on Amazon:(DVD)

wow - you guys have a different concept of old! For me a movie out of the 80's is old!!!!! :

well thats what happens when ur a sweet young thang!

But I am too (Young that is)- my momma edumacated me with pop culture

Flashdance Huh. All of Pittsburgh loves that one.

Oh, Oh, Law What was the Bacon one with dancing?

Oh Law and I are from the same era.. Law, didn't Jennifer Beale come up in of our previous threads??

they also love Iron City Beer

Hey Rhon! It's us - the sweet young thangs! Yep - do believe we were discussing big hair!!!!! It's making a comeback and I am one happy woman!!!! My favorite line: "If you give up your dreams, you die." I don't care what anyone says - I love that movie!
Deac - I have no idea what bacon has to do w/ Flashdance - ??

Slapshot!!!

Oh I think he is referring to Kevin Bacon in Footloose. Right Deac?

Yes, I liked that movie too! I never told anyone this but I was actually a body double for Jennifer, Law! shhhhhhh

Leg warmers....head bands....spandex...and she could weld on a trailer hitch to your pickup truck if you needed...damn that girl was hot! :p

reaper - you got it! She still rocks!
ok, Rhon - I get the reference now - different movie, different class. - Wow, so you were the body double - sorry bout the no credit thing! Still, I'd love your workout secrets!

Law, Kevin Bacon had some big dance movie, just can't think of the name

North by Northwest...Eva Marie Saint was a hottie!

The Gypsy Moths...Burt Lancaster does bad things to Debra Kerr in her own house on the couch while her husband is upstairs(gotta watch those skydivers!)

It's a Mad Mad Mad World...what a cast!

The African Queen...how many boats in the world have been named THAT!

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance...AND...The Cheyenne Social Club...Love 'em!

next!

Footloose...dancing in the heartland against the preacher's wishes. CORNy! Pun intended...but Lori Singer was cute!

African Queen,The Big Sleep, any Bogart is cool. Social Club was alright too. Harvey and Arsenic and Old Lace, Bringing Up Baby all too good.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail... now there's a classic!
Bring out your dead!

"one day in the west" staring Henry Fonda as a bad man. Charles Bronson as the revenging good guy who whistles and says little. The uncut long version is a clasic, about 3hrs.

Jennifer Beals didn't do one single dance step in Flashdance. But she was nice to look at anyway.

Deliverance, it was my all time favorite love story.

"The Good The Bad and The Ugly"

The wizard of oz

gone with the wind

grease

top gun

big

Yo "clkman"
Thank you, thank you, thank you;
I am now in love, you "sweet young (thang ???)"
I have been looking for this film for years, I saw it several times in theatres when it first came out and then it was on TV for many years around Christmas time, but not lately.
I just ordered it, so I'll let you know if it still makes me cry! :rolleyes:
Thanks again;
Dan'l
PS; reaper, was "Mad Mad Mad World" the one with the great scene with the cowboys sittin' around the campfire, ahh umm ahh "singin"?

Dan'l, I think that was Brokeback Mountain

No, I believe that was Blazing Saddles.

who the hell is Dan in love with????

I'm skeered

mad mad mad mad world was Spencer Tracy and an all star cast searching for the LOOT under the "big W"!

IMHO:
Old: a tie- Old Man and the Sea(58)
Inherit the Wind (60)
Mid: another tie - Ferris Beuhler's Day Off
Blue's Brothers
New(er) Hunt for Red October (hate Baldwin but he was best Jack Ryan, Ford was OK)

Hey Dog; you're rite it was "Blazing saddles". Similar type of movie, with a big all-star cast.
Loved 'M,m,m,m world" too specially Johnathan Winters.

:rolleyes: klc; not to worry, I'm just happy and thankfull.

i definately qual for the Ugly

Okay here's my picks...

Bladerunner - Harrison Ford and Daryl Hannah
Taxi Driver - Robert De Niro and a young Jodi Foster
The Godfather- Al Pacino and Marlon Brando
The Dark Crystal (childhood favorite)- Jim Henson ventures into Tolkien territory in his all-Muppet fantasy

Oh and for new movies... I love Spirited Away!

BUTCH CASSIDY & THE SUNDANCE KID
OR
THE STING
Both Redman & Newman classics

Jennifer Beals' had at least 2 female body doubles: Sharon Shapiro, Marine Jahan (uncredited), and a man by the name of Richard Colon. When this hit the public, it hurt her career for awhile.

favorite movie : Body Heat

The Wizard of Oz and most other Judy Garland movies.

slightly newer movie; Shawshank Redemption

Oh and BB I'm with you. Loved Braveheart! My father in law ( Ireland) was an extra in it. True unlike my body double story..

Don't forget that Rhon did a lot of those dance steps too!

Personally, I think Beals looked (and still does) pretty hot, whether she did the dancing or not. Doesn't hurt that she went to Yale.

I have never seen anyone look as good as Beals did in a tux.

Check out the new version of Flashdance... HAHA

Thanks, Reaper, for takin most my favorites. But here is some more beyond the riff-raff level. Time of the Gypsy, White Chocolate Dark Bread, err Dark Chocolate and White Bread, something like that, Trail of the Gypsy (Africa and Europe), Fellini's Rome, but the greatest movie of all time is oviously High Noon with the great Gary Cooper at his prime. Another is the Man who shot Liberty Valiance with Jimmey Stewart. The Graduate has a place in my heart, fell in love with Alfa Romeo's...first love!!! ...and Debbie Does Dallas!!!! :p :p

Truly a man of eclectic taste!

I also never miss a rerun of
To Kill a Mockingbird
To Sir With Love

How fun would it be to show old classics on a wall by one of the bars in San Pedro?
Sipping a cold one, hav'n some popcorn and enjoying the evening.
A real golf cart drive in!

"Grumpy Old Men."

Makes it easy to see who the youngsters are. How about Cat on a Hot Tin Roof? The only movie my father every took us too was the original Ten Commandments ('57 I think) I was a little kid, but seeing Dad there, and the Red Sea parting, really impressed me!

Breakfast at Tiffany's
9 1/2 Weeks

The Sands of Iwo Jima, '43.

Trevia, Of all the times John Wayne was killed in the movies how many of his killers had a speaking part???

Bruce Dern shot him in the back in "The Cowboys"

he was the only one

And was destined to play "BAD GUYS" the rest of his career for that dastardly deed!

Does anyone know the name of the movie Bruce Dern did where he was on a spaceship with the last of plant life and had 3 little robots as companions? Louie, Dewie and Hewie.

Silent Running, 1971

Thankyou I have wanted to get it for so long and nobody knew what I was talking about.

i don't know what you're talking about.

Babes in Toyland, TQ

I watched The Maltese Falcon this PM on TCM and it continues to be a great half movie...the second half gets really tedious and I always nap off. Rated four thumbs up...and four Z's.

Bruce Dern was funny in the Burbs, although his character was heavily influenced by the his Vietnam experience.

That is a damn funny movie!!!

Does anyone remember his 1960's motorcycle gang movie's? Or his futurist movie with Adam Ant as the bad guy?

'world gone wild' - maybe, on the futuristic one

The first Raiders of the Lost Ark, the first time I saw it.
It's a Wonderful Life
Out of Africa
Pulp Fiction
Napoleon Dynamite (new old)
the first movie I ever saw in a movie theatre:
the original Shaggy Dog (with 3 Stooges short beforehand)

desertrat, thankyou. I'm not alone in my bizzare movie tastes.

I LOVE anything with Doris Day but that western one went a bit far.

That was "FOOTLOOSE" I actually have the soundtract on Vinyl
"FLASHDANCE" is with Irene Cara. It started the legwarmer's & sloppy sweats falling off the shoulder faze. Same era

Yep, I said Footloose earlier on, didn't I???

Art I'm sure you were just a babe when that was all happening. Unlike me...

RMT,Age has nothing to do with being a babe, as I'm sure your husband would agree

Billy Jack!!!!!!!

RMT,
Babe, maybe, Baby I wish! I was single and footlooseing at the best of dance clubs.

"The Man who would be King" Connery and Caine.

Anything with Jamie Leigh Curtis. "She's a stallion."
