QOTD: it's classic

question of the day: favorite "classic" movie?

"Gung Ho" circa 1986. A harbinger of things to come. Oh why didn't we Americans see what was coming..? As a result GM loses billions in 3 months, Toyota becomes the biggest manufacturer, and now Dell doubles it's Asian customer service contingent. Oh - did I mention that Japan won the World Baseball Classic? Hollywood's always right, people!

Bedtime for Bonzo

raging bull

Rear Window.

oh gosh, casablanca?

Easy Rider

Alfred Hitchcock's "North by Northwest"

Top Hat with Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. Lavish sets, extravagant costumes, and the dancing is amazing. Everything about this movie is exquisite.

cool hand luke, the great escape, and charade

Grease....and not just because the nice girl turns trampy to get the boy. It has some catchy tunes.

night of the living dead

That's tough because I haven't seen too many of the classics. And, of the classics that I have seen I've never really felt the urge to watch any of them again. Gone With the Wind was a bit long. Citizen Kane was interesting. Wizard of Oz was good as a kid. I enjoyed On the Waterfront and Rebel Without a Cause. Some Like It Hot was funny. Some of the Hitchcock movies were good too.

Gone With the Wind and North By Northwest

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure…though Drop Dead Fred is a close second.

Cool Hand Luke.

Black Sheep

“Breakfast At Tiffany’s”…bet you never thought that one would have come from me…

slap shot!!! or scavanger hunt

actually - i did watch an old indian movie yesterday called mughle - e- azam. i watch the songs over and over again. there is one dance move that is insane...

If by classic you mean early I would say The Mark of Zorro (1940) with Tyrone Power and Basil Rathbone...Good Stuff! If on the other hand by classic you mean campy..entertaining...and able to break new ground. I would say Caddyshack...broke a whole golf course worth of new ground at the end....If classic means a catchy phrase about the smell of napalm in the morning and Wagner's Ride of the Valkyrie being broadcast out of helicopters to intimidate the enemy then i would go with Apocalypse Now. Good thing you only asked for one favorite or I would be here all day

The Great Escape

Deep Throat or It's A Wonderful Life
