Classic Movies

Classic:

Almost forgot "Zulu", the first film appearance of Michael Caine. In fact, it might be perfect for this rainy afternoon.

I think his best film is Get Carter.

Any film starring Michael Caine.

Are you sure ???
Swarm ,On Deadly Ground and Jaws 4 (The Revenge)

Harry Brown (2009)

Swarm ,On Deadly Ground and Jaws 4 (The Revenge)

So he's done a few clinkers in his day.....but makes up for it with all the brilliant performances and portrayals over some 50 + years.

A lot of great movies were made based upon themes that are taboo today.

Yet actors in movies made today can use such words never used in the classics like fuck, cvnt, cocksucker and other profanities.

One movie that could never be made today but is a classic comedy is Blazing Saddles.

And they used the N word as well.

A good laugh : Zero Mostel movies :

"A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum" ( Richard Lester)

" The Producers " (Mel Brooks)

[Troy]

The Killing (1956): Directed by Stanley Kubrik.

I remember this being shown on BBC2's Film Noir season years ago...Definitely one of those lesser shown films that's worth watching. It's about a robbery at a racetrack...

Classic UK is 'Pink Panther'.

If anyone has not yet seen Tom Cruise in his fairly recent sci-fi movie "Oblivion", it has great photography and a few good twists.

A couple more Golden Oldies for you....

1949: The Third Man-- For the music score, Orson Welles entrance and the scenes of post war Vienna.

1944: Arsenic and Old Lace-- I love the over acting by Cary Grant. It is more like being at the theatre rather than watching a film.

[Thormaturge]

Ice Cold in Alex

Great old John Mills film. One of the real British classics... but did you know the brand of beer they were looking forward to?

Holsten once used a segment from the movie to advertise Holsten Pils, implying the drink Mills was looking forward to was their brew. Shortly afterwards Carlsberg produced an ad with the actual clip where Mills reaches Alexandria.... and drinks a Carlsberg. ROFL

[Thormaturge]

1949: The Third Man-- For the music score,

The Harry Lime theme...

[Thormaturge]

Classic old movies?

On the Waterfront - Marlon Brando making a name for himself as a world class actor.

[Rambling Man]

Once upon a time in the west,
Electra Glide in blue.
Enter the dragon,
Trainspotting,
Pulp fiction,
No country for old men,
Enter the void.

[Looper]

Imagine how much one of her knockers weighs!

Imagine getting wedged in-between the pair!

^I think a Cherman vut be imachining der biggen poopsie dropping on der autobahn in that poster.

Wow. Where is a glass coffee-table when you need one?

[Rural Surin]

If anyone has not yet seen Tom Cruise in his fairly recent sci-fi movie "Oblivion", it has great photography and a few good twists.

That would be the same Tom Cruise that portrays the same homogenous character that comes across in every film he's ever been in?

Method acting is not his gig.

Yet, he's championed and worshiped.

[klong toey]

Moby Dick 1956 and Mutiny On The Bounty 1935 get my vote.
