Favorite OLD movie? (pre-60's)

Dreyco · 20-June-06, 12:14 AM

So my girlfriend has lived in Shanghai for the first 14 years of her life and hasn't seen many of the "classics" so I was wondering if I could get everyone's help to make a list. Please include a category that the film falls into as well as a brief synopsis. If you would like, include why you liked it. (funny/so bad it's funny films are welcome!)

My list (soon to grow as I think)
*Horror*
Forbiddin Planet
Birds
War of the Worlds
Night of the Living Dead
Blob

*So Bad its funny*
Plan 9 from Outer space

*Comedy*
Charlie Chaplin's "Little Dictator"

Hmm well I grew up on Laurel and Hardy.

Thats as far as my experiance goes.

CheapToad · 20-June-06, 05:36 AM

Night of the Hunter (1955) with Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters

I did a study of this movie for a class. Excellant

Nosferatu (1922) - The very first dracula movie. Silent but people ran out of the theatre

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) - a somnambulist, with his deadly predictions

Anyone that has seen these or decides to watch them Pls let me know what you think. They are must see's

Apparently you like Expressionist films

I rented Nosferatu ages ago but never got around to watching it. They show it every Halloween at my school though. We watched Dr. Caligari in my film class though. Fantastic.

Le Mans, from 1971

I can't watch anything that isn't 90% CGI.

Harvey
Harvey is a comedy starring James Stewart and Josephine Hull in the story of an invisible, giant white rabbit who is the contstant companion of an alcoholic. It was directed by Henry Koster in 1950.

I like Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin movies and Abbott and Costello they where the funniest back in the good old days.

Red02 · 20-June-06, 07:35 PM

HAHA Creature from the black lagoon, thats ol skewl sci-fi at its best. Good pick solid.

Cant believe no one has said Monty Python and the Holy Grail, granted its 1975, its still close and its classic all the way.
