Old Movies (40-50s)

[Rescued One]

I just watched In The Good Old Summertime, 1949, Musical Comedy (a musical remake of Shop Around the Corner).
The last time I tried to watch it I didn't see the entire movie.
Judy Garland, Van Johnson, S. Z. Sakall("Cuddles"), Spring Byington, and others(even Buster Keaton).

I remember "Cuddles" from Christmas in Connecticut.

Also, Philidelphia Story (1940) is one of my faves

I watched a lot of "old" movies when I was a teen! you all mentioned some good ones, the Thin Man movies were good, loved the humour, also movies with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, and the stars of the day like Rock Hudson, Clark Gable, Rita Hayworth, James Stewart, Lauren Becall etc.

[Petros2015]

Groundbreaking SciFi film... Forbidden Planet 1956

 

[Petros2015]

Another great one 1951 version of the Thing from Another World - great acting, script and characters.
This scene so reminiscent of the later "Aliens" (1986)

Even better watching the youtube with the CF snowflakes going in the background makes you feel like you are there in the arctic with them

I've see both a few times. The Maltese Falcon is on right now but I just watched two movies and had to change positions.

Petros2015, I don't usually watch Sci-Fi but I've seen The Day the Earth Stood Still twice and liked it. I watched The Fly because I knew my brother had seen it. It was weird. I watched Soylent Green in the late 70's or early 80's.

I saw Gene Tierney in Laura and Leave Her to Heaven. She suffered from depression in real life.

Great stars and Humphrey Bogart who was in so many movies that I've only seen a small fraction of them, but proably wouldn't like sinister ones. Cary Grant and Irene Dunne were good. Yes, I liked The Thin Man series.

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks! Have you seen a more recent movie A Dog Named Christmas? I liked that.

WARNING! Tearjerker. Waterloo Bridge (1940). I never saw it until this afternoon. If I ever see it again, I know I'll cry again! Some of the best movies I've seen are the ones that make me cry.

Casablanca, To Have and Have Not, Bringing Up Baby, Now Voyager. Also the Ealing Comedies: The Ladykillers, Passport to Pimlico, Kind Hearts and Coronets. Green for Danger, Morning Departure. It's my favourite era for films.

My favorite also, but I've only seen the first four.
