What old movies do you like.

I can't remember if I have ever seen Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. I will have to ask the wife, regardless I will probably watch again or for once very soon.

You love Cary Grant, you'll love this.  Plus Myrna Loy and Melvyn Douglas, it's pretty much a guaranteed good time.

By the way, netflix sucks. They don't have the above movie or a New Leaf streaming. They need to remind me soon why I subscribe to their service.

Well, that saves me the bother of giving them a try.  Thanks!

There mail order selection is fantastic, but if you want only streaming, I think it is a waste of money. They do have Faulty Towers though, which is one of my favorite shows. I actually think they do a better job with tv streaming. I've been watching Psych via netflix recently.

Well, how old do you mean? Some favorites of mine are from the age of the dinosaurs, if you ask my two sons, who are in their mid-twenties, E.G.: Blade Runner, 2001 A Space Odyssey, even my all time fave, Apocalypse Now. Even Star Wars is old by now. I'm a 'boomer', so my more influential movies are from the '60s and '70s. The Birds, Help, Psycho, Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, The Godfather, Two Hundred Motels. More recent 'old' movies that just blew me away: The Deer Hunter, Platoon, Contact. It's always hard for me to cut my favorites lists for movies, albums, etc down to five or ten. But it's always fun to compare notes.

The only "old" movies I can think of off the top of my head is Casablanca and a couple Laurel and Hardy's and Abbot and Costello's and Martin and Lewis.
I like all the Three Stooges shorts. I'm fairly sure the new movie will be a flop (slapstick is so 2000 and late), but I'll go see it anyway.

Some of you mentioned some I like, Dr. Strangelove, Kelly's Heros, etc.

How about
Dr. Zhivago
Lawrence of Arabia
Mary Poppins
The Ten Commandments
The Birds
The sound of Music
Bridge on the River Kwai
Ben Hur
The Searchers
The Blob
The African Queen
High Noon
Shane

If I concentrate on the 60's and 70's, this list would be quite large.

Hmm. I like a lot of the older Adam Sandler movies, especially Happy Gilmore and Mr. Deeds. I also like Christmas Vacation.

[Crow]

A Bout de Souffle (Breathless)
Alphaville
Blow-Up
Solaris (the original)
Le Mepris
Breakfast At Tiffany's
The Great Escape
The Good the Bad and the Ugly

Oh, and how can I forget comedies? Holy Grail. The Meaning of Life. Life of Brian. Naked Gun. Spaceballs. Airplane. Blazing Saddles. Great stuff.
