Casablanca 12 Angry Men Meet John Doe A Streetcar Named Desire On The Waterfront Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf .... I could go on forever How could I forget Streetcar?  That's THE best Brando ever. I even got Henry Rollins to agree with me when I asked him about it. | |

Hmmm... The first one which came to mind was 'Destry Rides Again'.
But it all depends on what you'd term "classic"... More than 50 years old? If I were to pick something a little more contemporary, it would be 'Manhattan'.  | |

I'm done. Hey, don't feel bad. I used to work at Borders and there's plenty of dvds with color pictures on the box, but the movie is in b & w. People make that mistake all the time. North by Northwest is one of my favorites, though. Hitchcock and Cary Grant are two great tastes that taste great together!  | |

I LOVE black and white movies, so it`s very hard to pick just one.
The acting and the story makes this one my favorite. But also... 
Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby and snow!!! 
Great movie! And last, but not least...  | |

StoneCrib said: Lammastide said: Why did I list Griffith's Birth of a Nation? Well...
I didn't list it because I thought it was fun or comfortable. The movie's historical bias is absolutely revolting. BUT, as art goes, that movie changed the entire paradigm of the motion picture. I'll defer to heartbeocean's link to get into details, but that film changed everything! It showed the world, perhaps for the first time, the immense power that cinema can have not only in the movie-going world, but over the psyche of its audiences and in the overarching culture altogether. And thanks, heartbeatocean for reminding us of Riefenstahl's later and terrifying Triumph of the Will, which I'd also place among my favorites, in the same vein. ...As for Intolerance, also by Griffith: No, it definitely wasn't an apology for BOAN. In fact, as I recall, it made no reference to the American Negro at all, which is amazingly ironic given the human message of the film. Again, though, the sheer cinematic innovation of that film -- and it's enormous scale (Just look at how HUGE Griffith's images of ancient Babylon are!! And remember this was in 1916!!) -- cements its place in world cinematic history, let alone my personal appreciation. Perhaps if you yourself were African-American you'd feel differently. The film is an atrocity and should NEVER be mentioned as one of the top 100s. Never. I could give a flying fuck at how it changed cinema because it also help add to the already negative shaping of the mindset of some Americans at how they perceive Blacks. No amount of cinema prowess could wipe away what that film did to Blacks in the U.S. at that time. None. You're absolutely right. Even if the movie were in 3d, dolby surround and all that shit, it would still be one of the lowest points in American cinematography. A terrible waste of money, time and tape. I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt. | |

[Edited 4/2/06 19:15pm] I'm not surprised to read immature comments like that, especially from the org, because there are some people who will never know what it's like to be the victim of racism so they truly don't care who they offend.

The more I read of you, Crib, the bigger my smile. You may understand later. It's cool, though. Your point is well taken. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
