Classic Movies

Anything by David Lean, Alfred Hitchcock, I also love the old Agatha Christie movies from the 70s,

I love to watch The Philadelphia Story with Gary Grant and Katherine Hepburn. I also like a lot of films I watched as a child or with my children like both versions of the Parent Trap.

Whistle Down the Wind with Hayley Mills and Alan Bates.
I was taken to see it when it first came out, which I think was 1961, when I was 10. Lovely, lovely film.

Brief Encounter is a brilliant film .
I've watched it over and over again and loved it each time .
It introduced me to Rachmaninov !

Brief Encounter. We watched it showing at the local cinema on Valentine's Day, the first time I had seen it on a big screen, and it was as wonderful as ever.

The Ladykillers .

I've just been watching The Lady Killers (original version!)

I also like the original Parent Trap with Hayley Mills

Not as a stranger

So many more, but I believe that’s quite a bit for now

‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner’. Hepburn, Tracy and Poitier - what a combination. I’d forgotten what a great film it is.

And I managed to find the 1937 b&w version of ‘The Prisoner of Zenda’ (has to be my favourite film) with Ronald Coleman, David Niven and Douglas Fairbanks Junior. It also had that Hollywood stalwart C. Aubrey Smith. Romance, stiff upper lips, and a jolly good sword fight at the end!😁
I also watched recently John Wayne in ‘She Wore a Yellow Ribbon’ - the best of the John Ford westerns I think. I watched it with my son when he came down - I think we both had the script by heart!

I love watching black and white films on u tube on my I pad, the last one I watched had Bette Davis in it she’s a brilliant actress. I watched Casablanca recently. I wonder which one I’ll watch tonight?
