Most of my favorite movies (and 80% of the greatest movies ever made) are black & white.

Margo, why does that not surprise me?

My favorite - any 30's or 40's Joan Bennett movie, as my former avatars will attest. And some of those are some of my favorite movies, period.

It probably doesn't surprise you because everyone loves the movies they grow up with.

I agree, most of my favorites are B/W, too. And one if even B/W AND Color!

Arsenic and Old Lace - almost forgot that one. Classic fast-talking smart-ass American comedy.

There is a Happydale far, far away.

Little shop around the corner (i think that is what is called). it's what You Got Mail is based on.

Judy garland, non-musical role. She was amazing.

The Shop Around the Corner is what you're thinking of.

I still like Phantom of the Opera, the 1925 one.

Rebecca and Wuthering Heights.... basically anything with Sir Laurence Olivier (at the beginning and middle of his career at least)

[SideShowMan]

Posted: 12/4/05 at 4:05pm

Dinner At Eight...and Grand Hotel...also The Women

[sweetestsiren]

Posted: 12/4/05 at 4:12pm

I agree about Olivier. So many great leading men from that era... Laurence Olivier, Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart... Updated On: 12/4/05 at 04:12 PM
