I've been to the Castro in SF for classic movies before, and won't be going back again anytime soon.

I don't appreciate audiences who think it's ok to speak back to the dialogue/actors on the screen. I don't need to hear an audience member tell Norma Shearer "You go girl!".

I suppose I should choose All About Eve, considering everything, but I also adore Sullivan's Travels, The Philadelphia Story, The Godfather, To Kill A Mockingbird, Duck Soup and so many others.

Claudette Colbert is wonderful in the original. After seeing that one the Turner one seems like a bad, campy (though entertaining) soap opera by comparison.

The only reason I ask is because the 1950's Imitation of Life completely reverses the "who helps who" storyline and it's always bothered me and come off as racist(to me).

The original has Louse Beavers as Delilah, who helps Claudette Colbert out of her misery by packaging her pancake recipe into an empire. Colbert is the smart marketer, but the product that saves them from the poorhouse is Delilah's.

I never appreciated how the 1950's version decided it wouldn't be ok to show that.

"Mamma! Mammaaaaaa! Mammaaaaaaaaaaaa!" as she flings open the door of the hearse and throws herself on the casket. Just too many things.

And who doesn't get goosebumps when Mahalia screams and moans her way through "Soon I Will Be Done With The Trouble of the World?"

And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

GirlforTartaglia-have you seen La Cage Aux Folles the movie? I thought it was even better than the American remake, "The Birdcage".

Men of the Midway starring Chris Burns and Paul Baressi.

Oh, I guess you didn't mean those types of movies.
