"Classic" films you've never seen

now that IS scary...such an odd shaped head....!
So! Looking forward to the oscars on sunday? Any betting tips for me? (that is if you are a gambling person!!)
 
Some Like It Hot - brilliant comedy film - just love the ending with Jack Lemmon and Joe E. Brown in the boat. Billy Wilder certainly knew how to direct Marilyn.

Citizen Kane - another brilliant film - directed and produced by Orson Welles who also took the lead role. Think it was his first film as director, and I think he was "out in the wilderness" at the time i.e. he didn't conform to Hollywood's thinking.

The Godfather - never liked this mainly, as someone has said, as I could never understand what Marlon Brando was saying.

African Queen - always loved this film - and I think a great adaptation of C. S. Forester's book. Bogart got an Oscar for Best Actor for this.

Wizard of Oz - a lovely frothy, silly film, which I just love. I adore the Munchkins.

North by North West - think this and Strangers on a Train are two of Hitchcock's best thrillers. Brilliant shots when Grant is out on the prairie and having to run for his life through the maize fielRAB. As for a re-make of Strangers on a Train is this really happening? I honestly don't think they will ever better the original.

I've never sat right the way through a Chaplin film - for some reason I just do not find him funny.
 
well, you know I havent been to view his grave or anything but I have a lot of books, dvRAB, posters etc.
I just think he is fantastic. And the one wife he truly loved was killed and taken away from him when she was so young. :cry:

ET (never appealed to me at all)



Citizen Kane (Seen clips. Again, it never really appealed. Is it really that good, or is there a lot of Emperor's New Clothes bandwagon-jumping with this movie?!)

I think it is one of the best films ever made. A lot of it has to do with the direction and cinematography, but I found the story very interesting as well. The corrupting influence of power and how money cannot buy the things that matter-Love, frienRABhip, happiness.

However, may do disagree and see it more as an historical artefact rather than a genuinely entertaining film

Fight Club - I will be seeing this film shortly

Citizen Kane (i havnt even seen clips of this film)

Runaway Bride (i know its not really a classic, but i would love to see this movie its with richard gere and julia roberts, some people think its a sequel to pretty woman)
