My favorite is Clint Eastwood as an absent-minded scientist in a sequel to Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
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.

Are you guys, particularly the L.A.istas, familiar with FIDM?
It's a Fashion Design school in LA and it has an exhibit of Hollywood costumes going on RIGHT now -- including costumes from RotK and PotC!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ooh! Amazing -- they'll also have Lemony Snicket costumes!

AMC is kind of bush league, but when you need to see a minor horror flick from the 70s about a hundred million times, they're the place to go.
'Zactly. They show '90's movies all the time, too -- "classic" seems to mean "whatever we can afford the rights to."
But last night, Scream 2 was about my speed, so I'm not complaining.

It's funny--after seeing the complaint about AMC changing its format here, I was listening to the radio at home and heard the host complaining about other channels doing the same (Game Show Network hosting Extreme Dodgeball and Fear Factor instead of High Rollers and What's My Line; TVLand now showing MacGuyver instead of just the old black-and-white shows from the 50s and 60s).

What I think is weird is that Full House is on Nick at Night. I always thought that was Nickelodeon's block of programming for grown-ups, and Full House was pretty firmly aimed at children/pre-teens.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
In the world of tv shows, "classic" means whatever I was watching as a kid to me. So, yeah, that includes old B&W I Love Lucy episodes, because they were in syndication at the time. But MacGuyver fits, too.
