Who here will admit that they cannot stand these old movies? In that you have to really defend your stand, because these films and others are classics. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

I love watching old movies. North By Northwest is certainly worth every minute. I'll admit to loving Cary Grant. 
I love old Barbara Stanwyck films, and I love Henry Fonda. The Lady Eve... Stella Dallas.... Gretta Garbo flicks...  Insatiable taught me everything I know about balls.

Some of my all-time favorites are Marilyn Monroe movies, especially Some Like it Hot, The Seven Year Itch, and Niagara. Another that's at the top of my list is Gone With the Wind, although I saw it after I read the book and was a little disappointed.
On the Waterfront, Bringing up Baby, and the original Sabrina are also really great. | |

While it's not as old as some of the movies you listed, Rosemary's Baby is an incredible flick. Overall, it's an interesting story, and the acting is pretty good. But what really grabs me about it is how beautifully filmed it is. Each frame is like a perfect composition. There's an incredible shot towards the end of the film where the wife starts to question her husband, and he is standing there half in light, and half in deep black shadow, with a sharp line cut right down the middle of him, explaining himself to her - incredible. | |

The Apartment, The Graduate and Rosemary's Baby are three of my all time favorite movies. Especially The Apartment. You just can't go wrong with a Billy Wilder film. | |

oh yes, there's nothing like curling up on the couch on a rainy afternoon drinking a cappacino watching "A streetcar named desire" or the original 1939 version of "Scarface" in black and white.... I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |
