Old black and white movies...
Posted : 21 May, 2010 03:17 PM

Anybody else love the innocence and type of acting from the old classics? My favorites are 12 angry men, Sorry, Wrong Number, and Charlie Chan movies.

I don't know that I've seen any of those movies, but I like a lot of old movies. I have 12 Angry Men I have just never seen it. I really like Cary Grant, Doris Day and Tony Curtis. My favorite black and white movies are the Ma & Pa Kettle movies, Harvey, Bringing Up Baby, and To Kill A Mockingbird.

Katie, girl if you don't watch that movie!!! 12 angry men is the best! I normally don't like a lot of drama, but I can do it with the b & w movies. It has to be the original. They have a updated one that is only alright.



Thanks for the posts, yall.

Paper Moon came out in 1973 but is set in the depression era. Tatum O'Neal and her father Ryan were in it as the 2 main characters. Great story and how it plays out.

And you can't go wrong with Alfred Hitchcock.

I agree Brandon. I actually was going to mention Alfred. He was ahead of his time. Some of his movies are a little disturbing to me now, and I wouldn't watch them, but his genius can't be argued.

I do love those movies because of the innocence and men were men and women were women..I have a hugh old movie collection. My mom made us watch them when we were little (my baby sister and I) and I still have a great love for old movies...

before you give up on Alfred Hitchcock you have to watch "Rear Window" and "The lady Vanishes"
