You can watch all the films I mentioned on Youtube, I noticed there. :unsure:

Livia 24-11-2015 08:34 PM

Twelve Angry Men is a brilliant film. I love anything with Bette Davis in it, Ealing comedies, British films made during the war like In Which We Serve, Went The Day Well and This Happy Breed (although I think that was in colour). I really like the old silent films too... all the comics, Buster Keaton, Chaplin of course, and the Fritz Lang classics Nosferatu and Metropolis.

... If it was made before "Back To The Future" then I'm afraid it just leaves me cold. That film was in fact the birth of cinema. A genuine masterpiece.

But yeah the original is great :love: Although I do still love the one that Peter Jackson did too

Aah sincerest apologies, I read Kazanne's post then got to yours and thought I was still on hers.
Really sorry Jamie,genuine error.:blush:

As it happens Kazanne is one of the truly nicest people on here as to 'most things' so you are in good company.

Awesome actress, when I watch her films I do so in total silence, love how she can make you hate her in some, feel really sad for her, as in 'The Old maid' film and 'Dark Victory' and then also really love her too.

Twelve Angry Men is also a great film but then Henry Fonda is a great actor too.
Those kind of films were pure class.

..it wasn't a black and white but one of my dad's favourite movies was Zulu...he always asked on Christmas Day, what time it would be on so that he could time his snoozes around it...and Great Escape was also a huge favourite of his, hence us having the theme music to that at his funeral...


...with Bette Davis...one of the greatest and most romantic lines in any movie was Now Voyager and...Oh Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon...we have the stars..that whole scene is one of my all time favourite movie scenes...:lovedup:..

From being 14,even I fill up with tears at that ending.:laugh:

Talking of Bette Davies. 'Another Man's Poison' was also a favourite, mainly because it was filmed at Malham Tarn near where I come from.
Also Dr. Strangelove and Arsenic and Old Lace and The Lavender Hill Mob with the wonderful Alec Guiness.

Suze 25-11-2015 08:37 AM

Another Bette Davis fan here, love most of her films.

Also no-one could deliver a line like Bette with such sarcastic wit :D

I've just posted that very quote on your wall.

Citizen Kane has got to be up there with the greats. Someone's already mentioned Mrs Miniver, another classic. The Bells Go Down with Tommy Trinder, To Kill and Mocking Bird, Hobson's Choice (anything with John Mills in it is good), Casablanca of course. Grapes of Wrath, Some Like It Hot... the list is endless.

I don't watch many black and white movies, but i do have some Laurel and Hardy dvds. I get them out when i need cheering up. :laugh:

Livia 25-11-2015 10:07 AM

Laurel and Hardy... still brilliantly funny after all this time.

Kizzy 25-11-2015 10:23 AM

Charlie Chaplin for me :love:
