Buffy ,'First Date'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I've never seen Gone With the Wind, Citizen Kane, or Casablanca.
Part of me still really retains that kid's disdain for older movies, especially black and white ones, but I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed Casablanca.
I hated Gone With the Wind, until I saw it on a giant screen. The story still doesn't do much for me, but it's positively gorgeous.
I think the Godfather requires a big screen for me. I've tried watchign it on TV a few times and I get all antsy.
I've never seen Gone With the Wind, Citizen Kane, or Casablanca.
Of these, I think Casablanca is the only must see.
Citizen Kane bored me, and Gone With The Wind -- yeah, missed the hype. I've seen it through a few times, and I can sit through it (unlike Kane, which I never will again), but I just don't see the magic.
Of these, I think Casablanca is the only must see.
I love Casablanca, everyone should see Citizen Kane in a film studies elective class (once) and the Carol Burnett version of Gone with the Wind is best.
I hated Gone With the Wind, until I saw it on a giant screen. The story still doesn't do much for me, but it's positively gorgeous.
Yes, this. My DH bought this for me on tape years ago and I don't think I have ever watched it.
I love Casablanca, but I realized this spring that there is one huge honking plot hole in it. Still love it, though.
Days of heaven has very young Richard Gere and Sam Shepard
Huh. I wonder if that's the one I saw? Can't remember.
I do love Casablanca.
I'm really glad I waited til I could see Casablanca for the first time on the big screen. It was so nice seeing it as it was meant to be seen, in a classic old theater.
The Marx Brothers' comedic routines were honed in front of a live audience, so watching their movies alone makes the pacing seem slow, where if you watch them in a theater full of people they are timed perfectly so lines happen right at the end of laughs and you don't miss anything.
