What is your favorite Movie? (Vanity)
now | ezo

Posted on 02/20/2003 4:00:09 PM PST by ezo4

I’m sitting here after work and pulled out the “Last of the Mohicans” and I’m wondering what my fellow freepers like for there favorite movies. I would like more for my collection of dvd’s. Current and older movies? Doesn’t matter what it is.

Just a little break from the daily news and politics.

I have quite a few that I like and I’m looking for more. Hit me back

Anything with Robert Montgomery in it. Such an ornery face, he makes me laugh.

"Why do so many people recommend Pulp Fiction? I thought it was awful!"

"What a relief that there's another sane person out there."

Well, that makes 3 of us. That is the movie that made me not watch any other Quentin Tarantino movies again. Ever.

I loved Immoirtal Beloved ... the lake/universe shot during Ode to Joy is magnificent. Gary Oldham was brilliant.

Lucky you! My mother also saw him on Broadway. I'm envious.

Speaking of Robert Preston, I loved him in Victor, Victoria ("You bitches!"). As one reviewer said, he played Toddy with an "evil glee".

Nobody has mentioned the 1943 Academy Award winner Yankee Doodle Dandy! It is also, by far, the best musical I have ever seen! George M. Cohan, to my knowledge, has been the only civilian to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor! Are y'all anti-American?

LOVE it! Also, has anyone seen "The President's Lady," which is about Andrew and Rachel Jackson.... B&W and stars Charlton Heston and Susan Hayward (two of my faves), also love "I'd Climb the Highest Mountain," and most everything Rosalind Russell has ever done including "The Women," Auntie Mame" and "Gypsy."

The Longest Day (John Wayne! Need I say More?)
Three Musketeers (Four Musketeers) (Best Swashbuckling movies ever and some serious sword fighting scenes Plus Ms. Welch wow who could ask for more)
Stripes (Bill Murray and John candy "That's a fact, Jack!")
1776 (the scene at the end where they call the role and sign the Declaration gives me goose bumps)
The Mummy (Brendan Frasier I've never had so much fun at the movies)
With Honors (Brendan Frasier and Joe Pesci)

and Finally:

Fandango (Earliest Kevin Costner Movie with him staring plus Judd Nelson sadly it is not out yet on DVD but it has got some of the funniest scenes in a Movie I've ever seen. The entire desert airport sequence is classic!)

One of my prize DVDs. Bernard Rose's use of Beethoven's music is superb. I watch it about once a month. The scene where Beethoven plays the Moonlight on the Broadwood piano tears me up every time. Rose said there wasn't a dry eye on the set during that scene.

We visited Europe in '89 and hit Bonn and his birthplace. Had read of the abuse his father inflicted on him. I walked through the place with tears in my eyes.

What GENIUS to have composed some of his most important works WHILE DEAF! And to not have even heard them PLAYED...

I just wish he could hear modern pianos and orchestras keeping his legacy alive. I think he'd be blown away.

Your#403),................Great Post,.........BTTT

In general, the older movies were just far better in black and white, than all the new politically correct movies, with all their special effects. They have come to rely too much on special effects and the actors are all too often one dimensional. Then, to top it off, many modern movies and actors use the medium to try to send a liberal message. The older stuff was mostly pure entertainment, by actors who could make you believe in the character.

Well said!

T.V. too,........ALL of it!
EVEN the commercials!!!
