what old movies are you watching?

[fastupslowdown]

I've given up on anything new and started watching yesterday's old favorites

Last weekend I watched The Long Good-bye, Treasure of Sierre Madre and Farewell My Lovely. All were fantastic. What have you recently discovered. By the way TCM is a treasure -Mike G

Just finished a David Lean bender tonight with Dr. Zhivago.

The Quiet Man, McLintock!, and my favorite Christmas movie, Diehard.

Make Way for Tomorrow, and Big Deal on Madonna Street are two films I’ll be re-watching this weekend. One for laughing and one for crying.

Harold and Maude

I went to see Jane Campion's latest and it was atrocious, just laughably bad.

Huh. Just saw that last night and I thought it was amazing. Interesting.

I think I need to watch some David Lean films.

Not sure this qualifies as "old" but I saw a moment of Cameron Crowe onscreen last night, and decided I probably need to rewatch Almost Famous.

My wife picks the movies on "date night." She chose Big Night which is from 1996, well worth the watch.

This time of year, I can watch the 1970 Scrooge with Albert Finney and never get bored.

For a more modern take which I thought was very good and clever, 'The Man who Invented Christmas' .
I really enjoyed this one for some odd reason.

TCM,

"The Hunchback of Notre Dame"
a lovely scene where the King is considering the implication of the newly invented printing press,
and his advisor is telling him to destroy them. The rescue of Esmeralda, a superb example of
when to use silence.

Xmas movie "Meet John Doe"
Edward Norton is wonderful as one of the Koch brothers.

Big Night is a great movie. Be prepared to eat after watching it.

You have company. Just thought it was ham-handed and obvious.

"The In-Laws". Alan Arkin and Peter Falk in an odd-couple comedy. Incredible movie. I will also second "Wings of Desire". "In The Mood For Love" has a similar meditative feel, though much more visually lush.

"Big Night" and "Moonstruck" are underrated classics.

The Big Heat, Pickup on South Street, Rear Window, Shadow Of A Doubt, Night Of The Hunter, Out Of The Past, Pursued, The Sting, The Friends Of Eddie Coyle, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, Charley Varrick, The Third Man, Touch of Evil, The Big Sleep, Double Indemnity, Strangers On A Train, Kiss Me Deadly... I've watched a lot of noir lately.

I love Peter Falk. Saw the In-laws when it came out. Barely remember it. I must see this again. I keep missing it when its on TV

I like this film for it’s simplicity…
