Movie Lovers

[milkcandy2012]

Are there any movie lovers here?  I don't mean the movies that are coming out today, but the real movies when they were good and had good actors.  I love watching classic movies or other original movies.  I didn't realize how many movies today are actually remakes until I started really getting into the older movies.  What are your fave classics?

I don't think I've voluntarily seen a movie that's older than 1980.

How old? What actors?

Can you list your top 10 movies? I'm born in 93 if it matters but I'm always looking to learn about the past.

Sometimes, the older the better.  A friend put me up on Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down.  That was pretty good.  But it's not in my top 10 movies.  I have a strange mix of interests. They aren't in any particular order.  

Diabolique (foreign film, but AWESOME!!!!)

Annie (only musical I like)

The Sandlot

The Little Rascals

Any Charlie Chaplin Film

Any Marx Brothers Film

ANY Alfred Hitchcock (Love It)

The Longest Yard (the original one)

Patch of Blue

Any film with Sophia Loren (she is sooo beautiful)

There's been a few good movies come out lately...with good actors.
The best movie I have ever scene , easily Raging Bull. Everything about that movie was beautiful.

My favorites though... Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Casino, Hugo, The Departed,.. pretty much any movie by Scorsese. There's more but one's considered "classics" are these.

Goodfellas

Taxi Driver

Godfather I and II

Momento

Casino

Pulp Fiction

Shaun of the Dead

This doesn't count as a movie but Hoop Dreams is one of my favorite documentaries. Very eye opening.

And to add one more thing. Home Alone was on TV the other day and it still had me cracking up as a young adult.Such a silly movie.

That's dismissing them... "not the movies today, but the real movies with good actors".
