I mean really back there? Black and white? We get TCM here and Robert Osborne gives us some wonderful old pictures to look at. I was just wondering if anyone else shares this passion.

Actually I do share this ...I am not very familiar with alot of them..but i just finished taking a film and culture class and I had to watch many different films...Casablanca, silent ones such as Charlie Chaplin, Citizen Kane and many others..I enjoyed all of them. I have always watched Musicals...and that sort of thing...I love them.

I much prefer the old movies. Do you like dogs, horses and comedy, check out You never can tell. Really good, I think.

There are a few of them I like. I just watched "The Bishop's Wife" with Loretta Young and Rock Hudson. Very good. One other I truly enjoy is "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir." That one has a very young Natalie Wood in it, I think.

M

Yes, that was Natalie. That was a good picture.

I just finished watching "Murder Ahoy" with Margaret Rutherford. Another wonderful old picture is "It Grows on Trees". I love it, but have not seen it for many years.

I'm trying to get more into them. They're great & generally uplifting without being too preachy.

My favorite so far is Mrs. Miniver.

I love movies from the 40's and 50's give me one of them any day.

My favorite is It's a Wonderful Life. I love the old movies!

I have been watching a few lately on a new channel, some I don't remember seeing before :D :D :D

Have you ever seen the Thin Man movies? there are 6 of them and the characters are Nick an Nora and they are investigators. They are really hilarious. They are set in the 30's or 40's.

I used to watch the Doris Day movies all the time. I love old movies.

My favorite all time movie is an old Myrna Loy film titled "Since You Went Away". It's wonderful! And at this time of year, "The Bishop's Wife" and "Christmas in Connecticut". Also a really old one, Loretta Young in a movie I believe is called "Come to the Stable".

I do!

Yes. I remember Nick and Nora. There was a "not so old" movie called "Murder by Death" in which there two characters called Dick and Dora, played by David Niven and Maggie Smith.

I just looked up the listing for "The Bishop's Wife". I could not find Rock Hudson. Could you be thinking maybe of Cary Grant? (Also tall and good looking.) If you get a chance, check out his picture with Ingrid Bergman, "Notorious".

I love the old black and white movies!!

I love the old Bob Hope Bing Cosby movies and the Abbot and Costello movies. Rosalind Russell and Marilyn Monroe. Cary Grant Spencer Tracy Debbie Reynolds --the Charlie Chan movies

Yes, especially anything with Jimmy Stewart, Doris Day, Henry Fonda, Audrey Hepburn anything from the late 50's to mid 60's.

I love old movies. We watch them when we visit my dad.

I've found quite a few at the Dollar Store. They had a bunch of Shirley Temple about 2 months ago. I check every couple of months to see what "new" has come in.

I loves my old movies!!! :mrgreen:

My favorites are Casablanca, and Gone with the Wind. I have a lot of movie memorabilia that I have collected through the years like posters, props, and all sorts of neat theater programs. But my most prized possession is my original script from Gone with the Wind that is signed by the entire cast including David Selznick.

anyone like the cary grant movie arsenic and old lace? imho...i thought it was really funny...or how bout the one with cary grant and katherine hepburn and the cougar (i think) called baby?

Wow... I had not thought about a lot of these in years!!!! :D :D :D

I think that was called "Bringing up baby" I LOVE all the old Cary Grant movies!!! Then Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre,and Rebecca are some of my favorites. And all the 'Ma and Pa Kettle" movies, which also brings me to 'The Egg and Eye" Lordy I could go on and on and on!!!!!! Love the oldies!!!!! :D

Cary Grant in "I Was a Male War Bride" is hilarious.
Some Like It Hot is my favourite all time movie - Gone With The Wind next.
But for a good sniffle, Random Harvest with Ronald Coleman

Ditto ~ I have to watch this movie every year and it has to be the black and white version. I purchased the color version years ago and watched it once....just not the same. I am a fan of old westerns b&w or color doesn't matter, have to also throw in Bonanza and Gun Smoke. :)

oooooooooooo yes. i love old movies

The cutest Christmas movie I think is the "Lemon Drop Kid" with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. They are two con men trying to save the "House for old dolls" or the old ladies home.

Bob hope is always eating lemon drops so hence his name....

Cary Grant is my all time favorite star for old movies. I have quite a collection of his and my favorite is "An Affair to Remember" with Deborah Kerr. I cry every single time I watch it. I also like "Houseboat" with Sophia Loren and "Father Goose" with Leslie Caron. I got my daughters hooked on Cary Grant when they were very young and they still love his movies today.

Red Skelton and Danny kaye. Danny Kaye movies were hilarious!!`

My favorite old movies are the old monster movies of the 50s.

My favorite old movie is "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn". " Peggy's Apartment" is another one that was good. A Christmas favorite is "Little Women".

Well, forget to mention, Do you remember Chiller Theater from the late 60's ? I know Bill Cardille (Chilly Billy).
They were always on Saturday night at midnight. I tried to stay up.

The channel we watched them on called it "Creature Features" and they came on Friday nights. I'd watch movies all night long and then watch the early morning cartoons before going to bed. My sister never could stay awake that long. A lot of the movies gave her nightmares anyway so it wasn't such a bad thing she couldn't stay awake.

My Mom went to the same high school as Butterfly McQueen. They sometimes ate lunch together. After Mom died, I found an autographed picture of Ms. McQueen. (wonder what it's worth...$$$) :-)

Ah, yes. Red Skelton. The Fuller Brush Man

I remember watching Creature Features, too LOL
I have been scanning the channel guide for old movies, it is sad they don't have more on...:(

Red Skelton - Clem Kaddidlehopper - The seagulls I can't remember their names. And he did a clown. He also did a movie where he went to a girl's school as the only male.Can't remember the name of it.

Gertrude and Heathcliff

My mother's middle name was Gertrude. My Sis and I would start laughing even before he started the joke.

My all time favorites are Jimmy Cagney and John Wayne.
Just watched, 'Angels With Dirty Faces'. Had the Bowery Boys, Bogart and Pat O'Brien as the Priest.
We recently watched 'Angel & The Badman', a classic John Wayne movie with Gail Russell.
