*shuns*

*Crossing my fingers that this is true.* I just found a list on amazon.com of classic Warner Brothers movies to be released on DVD in 2007. Some of the ones I'm most excited about are:

Red Dust, Bombshell, Hold Your Man (1933), Girl From Missouri, Personal Property, Riff Raff (1935), Saratoga and Suzy Jean Harlow Collection


And the one I'm most excited for? Myrna Loy & William Powell Collection!
Manhattan Melodrama, Evelyn Prentice, Double Wedding (1937), I Love You Again and Love Crazy- I will definitely buy this one first!!

I've got to start saving my money now! Here's the original link I found this on- there's a few more sets on there that I didn't mention

SQUEE! I have been waiting for these to be on DVD forever! My Christmas Wish List will be centered on these! I love Esther Williams!

I know! I have Neptune's Daughter on VHS but I've been waiting forever for them to put it out on DVD! I was so happy when I saw that list. Lot's of great movies coming out!

At least someone likes old movies...because I know I don't lol

Yeah I know And your missing out

Yeah...I'm missing out on a lot of sleeping lol

Old movies are the best- they were made back when there were still new plots.

I could watch Sunset Boulevard at least once a week and never tire of it.

Well thank goodness there are other people who understand. I should make you tell me why you don't like old movies- I don't believe I actually know the real reason here....


Thank you muffy. See people do understand

Why?

They are SLOW and in Black/White.

There are only 3 things I will watch in B/W Andy, Lucy, and the movie To Kill a Mockingbird

They are just boring too me...They were made in a different time when people had different tates for comedy and drama etc.

Why I love watching movies so much is because I can feel like I can relate to what's going on in some way or it takes me to another place for a couple hours.

Black and White or older films just don't do it for me.

You obviously haven't seen The Thin Man then. The dialogue was way ahead of it's time. It actually took me a couple times watching it to catch every joke. If you don't laugh at that movie, well something must be wrong

*edit* Not criticizing you here- just wanted to know why you didn't like them

When I was 17 I had some of my friends over to watch old movies. We watched a couple of classic horror films then switched over to tv and watched 'The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer'.

I commented many times (ok, over and over again) how attractive I thought the young female lead was. After some prodding from my friends, I even suggested some of the things I would like to do with this young actress.

I was floored when the credits rolled and I saw who I had been calling 'hot'. I got teased mercilessly by everyone for about a year - "Guess who Mark thinks is really really sexy!".

Officeholic, what about POTC 2 made you mad? The beginning? I thought the beginning was actually better than the rest of the movie...

I really would like to buy Casino Royale, I loved that movie.
I don't know if I can wait until November 2008 until the next one comes out.

Well, this year is going to be a record breaking year, in terms of box office money because of all the sequels coming out. POTC 3 anyone? Spidey 3, Bourne 3, Ocean's 13, Shrek 3....

You didn't recognize Shirley Temple? I love that movie.

I'm going to boldly put this out there- you can't be a movie buff without at least seeing the classics. And, there should to be one or two you like out of them, it won't be that hard to find!

I don't expect everybody to know who Howard Hawks, John Ford, or Frank Capra are by name. But, you should have seen at least one of their movies.



...I haven't watched a movie in ages. It's so unlike me. LOL.

I never said I never saw them I just said I don't like them.

POTC 2 beginning had no continuity to it is all. IMO. I knew they were to be 'married' but I think the beginning just turned me off. Mind you I have seen it about 10 times but I fastforward the beginning for a few minutes.

My grandmother learned English from old B&W movies when she moved here in 1950 and her love for America grew from there. I do like B&W movies, i have started buying some based on some 'board reviewers' (BW) and I have been DVR'ing some from TCM-turner classic movies as well. My two girls will sit and watch B&W movies and they like them! This I dont mind as most of the B&W's are not as risque as movies today for adults.

If you've seen a majority of classics, there should be one or two you could like. I don't think it's possible to "not like" every movie made before 1965.

But, if that's the case, I wouldn't call you a movie buff. I wouldn't call anybody with that criteria a movie buff.

Oh- which ones have you bought? I've been meaning to ask you

Citizen Kane, casablanca, from here to eternity,12 angry men, an affair to remember, Cleopatra(Dame Taylor), North by Northwest, to catch a thief.

I like North by Northwest, and Charade and Rear Window, and Vertigo....too many.

I don't think B/W films suck. They are just not for me it's just not my personal tastes in movies.

okay OH a really great movie-all about eve(many will agree) and a very young bette davis in jezbelle. and one of the most talked about-It happened one night. Those are must see and owns.you can't have a b&w collection with out one bette davis movie.

my horror movie was okay. the guy who played gein was really good. And they used actual crime scene photos in the begining-some of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.

I haven't seen any of the Ed Gein movies, but I've heard they were awful.

Good films based on Gein:

Psycho
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the best)
Silence of the Lambs (a bit overrated, Manhunter was better. But that's beside the point)

Scary movies that I have seen aren't really scary...
More suspense than horror...

thats kinda true. It's hard to make a real life event good with out taking liberites. Under the right people it would be possible.


My older brother ruined horror movies for me when I was about 16. Dolls that come to life still scare me to tears. Just after you've seen a faces of death movie, little will effect when it comes to scary movies. Watching it though made me take driving a h.ell of alot more seriously. I never joke around in the car.

Spoiler review for POTC3 from AintItCoolNews.com here.

I love 12 Angry Men. It shows you how much of a good movie is the story, writing, and directing, and acting instead of all the glitz and special effects. Everyone needs to see 12 Angry Men.

Yes, I completely agree. I am just glad that my american history teacher showed it to us in 9th grade, opened a whole new world of movies. We watched Mr. Smith goes to Washington the same year, after seeing those I thought that I could actually sit though a black and white movie and enjoy it.

Don't forget Harry Potter 5. My calender is already marked .

As for black and white movies, I think some of them are really timeless. Two of my favorites are "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?"

I haven't ever seen this movie. My dad saw the play when it was on Broadway though.

LOL, me too! Only 121 days left until July 13th!

I can't wait!! although....harry potter 3 and 4 were huge disapointments to me. I guess that's what happens when you're obsessed with the books, and know every last detail. I got angry when they weren't all in there.

It has Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Wow! What a combustible couple! I'll bet the Broadway version was awesome! Do you know who starred in it?

Yeah- the 4th movie kinda disappointed me. They left out so much stuff! And the bad thing is that OotP is an even longer book than GoF. But I'm hoping that I'm wrong. OotP is my favorite book- so I'm pretty excited for the movie

Hmm- I'm not sure. My dad still has the original playbill from the show though. I'll see if I can find who was in it...

Cool, thanks!

And back to HP, I wanted to quote three different people here and respond, but I still can't figure out how to take different quotes from different posts to put in one post! You would think after 400+ posts I would have figured out how to do this. Help

I can't wait for the movie and for book 7! I agree that the movies just don't live up to the books and I am usually disappointed the first time I see one of the movies. But after multiple viewings, I forget some of the details or scenes that the movie didn't have and I am much more satisfied with the movies as a result.

See that little button on the right hand side that says "quote"? Hit that as many times as you want to and then go to add reply. All of the people you quoted will be posted there

Yeah ! Oh thank you, bubblewrap . I had to try it out. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong... I was hitting the 'reply' next to the 'quote' instead of hitting 'add reply'. Oh, wonders never cease.

Both of those movies are killer. Henry Fonda and William Holden are to die for. Gloria Swanson's acting was awesome. Bill's voice narrating SB is so cool.

Thanks for the Pirates Tres Spolier!!!!!!

Now my excitment thickens.

Do you know when the trailer will be released?

POTC3 Trailer Countdown

smart move doing the POTC3 trailer durning dancing with the stars.

Watched laura last nite...it's just so good. And A Good Woman. It has helen hunt and scarlett johanson. Helen hunt in no way, shape or form can ever play the other woman. Just painful to watch her. Wasn't that great of a story to begin with. Later today I'm watching something called Brick. It was lent to me, so if it's bad, I can't complain.

Wow, thank you!

4 days!

Scarlet Johanson and Helen Hunt in the same movie! Incredible. I'm adding that film to my 'don't ever watch this' list.

Okay Brick-let me save all of you the time, never rent it. It's beyond bad. I turned it off after 24 mins. Dull, emotionless and stale acting. I would have rather listened to helen hunts shrill voice in the other woman again. yuck.

Any one seen, Fan boys? Can't seem to find it at blockbuster just yet.

Well I did not think Brick was that bad of a film It was ok not the best movie ever like some people think though.

Thank you for the review Office-holic. I agree with most everything. The rating was perfect however, I do not think it was too violent.

My favorite lines include:

"That last hand nearly killed me."

"...no...a little to the left.....to the right.....Haha, you are gonna die scratching my balls."
^Hahaha

Daniel Craig was brilliant. I am very excited to see how he does in the many Bonds to come.

Okay - guilty confession time: Since I purchased it the other day, I have watched The Holiday four times.

For some reason, the romance of this movie totally grabs me - and I am even delighted with Cameron Diaz (an actor I normally find fairly repellent). Jude Law is another thing altogether - I have never liked him in a role before (I found him kind of creepy and unctious), but there is something about him in this role that I just love. He has transcended into the Cary Grant-esque performance, and that is the highest compliement I can pay.

I wish I spent as much time improving my mind, or reading serious and important books, as I do watching romantic comedies!
