I'd like to talk about classic films.

I do! I have the IMDB app in the first page of my iPhone so that I can search actors immediately when I am watching an old movie. 🤣

My two faves are "Bringing Up Baby" and "Roman Holiday." You can't beat the humor in "Baby," and "Holiday" is just beautiful and classic. I also love "West Side Story," if musicals are even remotely on the table. Sending prayers that all goes well with your procedure and that you can enjoy stepping back in time through cinema during your recovery.

I love Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Greer Carson, Walter Pigeon, Cary Grant and James Stewart. I’ll pretty much watch anything with them in it.

My husband watches a lot of the classic horror movies, and I’ve really come to like a quite a few of them, too.

The ones that rely less on gore and shock, and more on atmosphere and story telling.

I love To Have and Have Not. Bogie and Bacall are the best.

“If you want me, just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow." So awesome.

Band of Angels stayed with me as well.  We just rewatched this recently.

So somewhat off topic but still on trend with the discussion about sexism, I was looking through Netflix and decided 365 Days might be just the escapist trash I was looking for. The premise seems iffy (mafia boss keeps woman prisoner for a year until she falls in love with him? I think based on some trash novel I've seen discussed here?) but I decided to give it a go.

Holy shit that was DISGUSTING. I only made it through probably not even twenty minutes to see the male lead pretty much force himself onto the flight attendant, grabbing her head, cutting back and forth from the blow job scene to the female lead having to use a vibrator since her boyfriend didn't immediately give in to her demands for sex the minute she got home from work.

After this flight attendant gets her face assaulted she walks off with a little coy smile on her lips, as if it's all in a day's work for her and what a lucky woman she was!

I wanted to puke. I didn't make it any further than that.

Off to find something a bit less rapey.

I love this thread. I love old classic movies - I used to watch "old" movies (from the late 30's - 40's and 50's with my mom on Sunday afternoons. She'd talk about the various stars and all the gossip/history/info about them and the movies. I treasure those memories and still love most of those movies. The Quiet Man is my all time fav. I love Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House. I Remember Mama, Life With Father, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, so many more.

This has been great to read through!!

I have not seen him mentioned. Maybe his movies aren’t old enough yet.

Sidney Poitier...Such an incredible actor.

Honestly, I am afraid to go back and watch for fear of ruining those fond memories.

Someone mentioned Cheaper by the Dozen. There was one with Lucille Ball. She had a bunch of kids and then married a man with a bunch of kids. Was that Henry Fonda? Was that one Cheaper by the Dozen? Or, was that the black and white movie with the children from the same parents? The Dad was a bit efficient.

There was also one with Brian Keith (Family Affair). Maybe With 6 You Get Eggroll. Can’t remember who played his leading lady.

When you’re a Jet, You’re a Jet all the way ...

Yes, Cheaper by the Dozen was with Ball and Fonda.  They also did a remake with one of the Quaid brothers ( I can't remember his first name).  I’m partial to the version with  Lucille Ball.
