  • Hitchcock, Harryhuesan and Laurel and Hardy. That's what I grew up with and I'm 17 years old. Spielberg FTW!

  • I like old movies because they stirred your imagination more than today's fims usually do. Many of today's movies spoon-feed the audience everything with special effects and whatnot (not all modern movies are like this; I don't want to unfairly generalize). But there's something to be said for leaving certain things to the audiences' imagination. Often it leads to a richer film more open to personal interpretation.

  • Wow. Thank goodness Spielberg believes this. I'm a 19 year old film student, and when I was telling my fellow classmates why I thought it was important to study the classics, they laughed at me and told me I was crazy. I thought I might have been wrong until I saw this. Thank you Spielberg.

  • @SSRogue88 ... what?

  • @SSRogue88 haha your a joke man.

  • i am fwee yaas old an mah fav movE iz La Grande Illusion.

  • Steven, it is not just filmmaking. Music, art.... you name it!

  • @0509112x you are right.

  • OMG! Who cares how old you are!

  • Im thirteen and my favorite movies are Raiders Of The Lost Ark,Clockwork Orange and Blade Runner

  • @yodawithsunglasses What the heck are you doing watching Clockwork Orange and Blade Runner?

  • @rocknrollfanatic96 I know they are out of my age group but im mature for my age and i dont really see anything bad in Blade Runner.

  • I am a sperm and my favorite movie is Citizen Kane

  • @KlayyJayy Dude! That's so weird! I'm 15 as well and I have a passion for classic films like "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Citizen Kane" but "The Blues Brothers" is my all time favorite film. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who thinks this!

  • I'm 19 Years old and my favorite movie is Metropolis. No not the anime the 1920's one, although I do admit that I like the anime one too. ^^

  • Citizen Kane, The Maltese Falcon (1941), Casablanca, Body and Soul are my favorites from the 40's. Then you've got films like Yojimbo and To Kill a Mockingbird that existed in the era of colored films but were still B&W.

  • Oh, and if you count post-1970's, ERASERHEAD.

  • Black and white day classics that I love are The Killing, Paths of Glory, Dr. Strangelove, Citizen Kane (who doesn't?), and so on. Dr. Strangelove is by far the best Black and White film (that's my opinion, but I think it's closer to best film ever than Citizen Kane).

  • I believe you should study films from all eras. From the silent era of the 20's to the golden age of 40's and 50's to "New Hollywood" of the 70's to now

  • @lightingcobra Agreed. I study all of these era of film in depth

  • Casablanca and Citizen Kane are the best classics.

  • oh my God he just spoke my mind!

  • I`m learning from HIM, James Cameron, Michael Bay, and many more

  • The Seven Samurai

    The Great Dictator

    There are more, but these are some of my utmost favorites.

  • I love old movies and as an actress, study them over and over.

  • Why Spielberg has to put his nose on everything? He always talks about movies, master pieces, which speaks for them selves much better than Spielberg ever has done or will do. He talked about A Clockwork Orange, a movie by Stanley Kubrick who would have made A.I. a master piece, in another words, much better than Spielberg did. And can you imagine how extraordinary "The Empire of The Sun" would have been if the movie had been made by David Lean?

  • a very humble response from a great director but honestly i prefer the movies from the 70s onwards over the classical hollywood stuff from the 30s and 40s. i would take a film like the deer hunter over something like casablanca any day of the year.

  • @CptForrestGump The Deer Hunter over Casablanca? Is that a joke? 

  • Having grown up watching black and white television, I'm just as pleased to watch black and white films as I am the newer ones. Despite the recent trend towards colorizing old films in order to appeal to todays audience, classic cinema IS in black and white. Film buffs should avoid excluding the classics, for to do so is to have an incomplete film library.

  • this is really true, most 'movie buffs' know nothing about classic cinema.

  • Once again, my man Spielberg is right on the money, and so are the comments I'm reading =) Hollywood REALLY needs to get over this "let's remake everything" phase it's on and get back to making good, ORIGINAL movies. Give undiscovered people like me a chance!

  • Hehe Spielberg is so right there! What's with that "cutoff point" anyway? I've long wondered why that myself!

    And it sounds to me that Spielberg is a very cool parent to his children as well. Heh, a kid can sure have worse than being "required" to watch good B&W movies! hehehe

    Spielberg is a great man! hehehe

  • An advantage black and white films have over color is the lighting. B & W movies have the most impeccible lighting ever put on screen. Look at the scene in Citizen Kane where the news reporters are sitting in a dim light room talking about Rosebud. The light beaking through the windows juxtaposed to the reporters' silhouettes is a beautiful image

  • @EJperfection Nosferatu is not a Hollywood movie... just had to point that out. ;)

  • @Wartler Really!?? Still is a ''Classic'' :)

  • I am almost 15 years old and my faviourite movies are casablanca, Rebel without a cause and well The blues brothers ( not classic I know but well it's fugging awesome).

  • Partly the reason why I wanted to do the slightly crazy task of collecting all the BP winners was to actually see some of these old classics like Casablanca, All About Eve and The Best Years Of Our Lives so I could have a greater appreciation of old movies

  • i felt that if i was to become anything like the move brats then i should watch the films THEY studied, watched and admired.

  • Hence this is why film making will eventually crash and burn into a clusterfuck of people copying Hollywood, no respect for anything that isn't made before the late 60s and most of all just a media that's "There" but has no real value..much like how music is. We are obsessed with the 70s,80s,90s because everything else is "too old."

  • @EverettDudgeon138 Don't worry I am a filmmaker and I love classic movies. I know what you mean however.

  • My favorite 30´s movie? King Kong, definetely!

  • little dig at tarantino there

    

  • don't worry Steve, i'm in highschool and i love ALL movies and i will carry on the traditions of the greats

  • @samfilmkid Me too. me and you may be the only two haha

  • I'm the only one at school who even will watch black and white let alone like.sad times were in.

  • Im Raving Im raviiiing im raving after watching a b/w movie... yeah got first class ticket

  • The man knows movies

  • but did Steve learn about the generation before the ones he grew up in?

  • @christophedetiege yes, clearly he did, that's what he's saying, you deranged buffoon.

  • @twelvestreets LOL; i'm not familiar with his youth cause it would make sense that he just like us knows more about the films he grew up in.

  • Yes! you should never just study the generation before you. You should take it all in as a whole and be influenced by the entire history of cinema.

  • I'm an older guy who loves movies old and new....the movies from the 1960s to the early eighties are the best by far....older movies never seemed to willing to tackle issues head on such as sex, drug use, crime-as-it-in-reality....some of them were great, but they just weren't as honest....

  • i couldn't agree more with steve.

  • fear not Steve, I am a teenager and aspiring filmmaker and i love films of all kind, black and white, color, cinemascope, talkie, silent etc. and i have lots of filmmaker friends who do too. there is hope

  • the importance of studying classic films and not fucking them up with shitty ass remakes or touched up effects

  • The Spy That Came In From The Cold.

  • I am a up and coming Director hopeful. I love the old films, most recently I have taken a class in which we not only watch films from all era's but particularly the Golden age of Hollywood, such as Notorious, All about Eve, Rope, Casablanca and they are my absolute favorites. I feel that Spielberg brought the aspect of those older films to his and we should to the same revolutionize with inheritence in a sense.

  • black and white are simple in design, and limited on technology, leaving people with more room to be imaginative. if you try and take in too much, stuff will get lost. so don't be over technical, become more imaginative.

  • Triumph of the Will

  • Said by the greatest director of all time!

  • @netsworld You understand my initial comment was in defense of black & white, right? B&W is beautiful, I thought it was clear that's what I said. Why you're calling me a "hater" is beyond me.

  • My favorite black and white movies have to be King Kong and Night of the Living Dead.

  • Does anyone else watch classic films more for actors than directors? There some actors like Bogie, Cagney, Muni, Davis, Grant and Wayne that I'll watch any film of theirs. Don't get me wrong i focus intensely on directors as well Hitchcock, Wilder, Hawks, and Ford, but actors remain the slightly primary interest.

  • @kingcaesar5 maybe you should go further back, or focus more on the storyline and plot. obviously they had big stars in "safe" films, they still do that today.

  • @Richy0money what?

  • I love many movies from many different eras. In fact my favourite film is a tie between "Casablanca" and "Dr. Strangelove"--both in black and white, both made before I was even born. The classics of my own generation (films by Spielberg, Lucas, Scorsese, Coppola, etc.) were influenced by everything that came before it, and they, in turn, influence what comes after. But there's a reason films like "Citizen Kane" and "Casablanca" are still revered--they're great movies!

  • @netsworld I have no idea what this sentence means.

  • I seriously doubt that this dude can name atjeast 3 buster keaton movies. So what the hell is he talking about? I bet he doesnt even know what the oldest film studio in the world. Dont bother googling it: its Gaumont

  • It is true. I didn't want to watch 2001 A Space Odyssey because it's old, but when I watched it 1 month ago it's a classic. Some movies have eternity life.

  • The man has a point, but he's got to remember that when he was a boy, there were about 50 to 60 years worth of movies made compared to almost 116 years today, and that they're being pumped out faster than rabbit babies nowadays. Young filmmakers have to remain contemporary, and watch for shifts in the trends of today. It's important to explore the past, but with all the indie films, studio films, and foreign films out today, we can't possibly explore the entire film catalogue of the pre-60s.

  • it annoys me to no end knowing I can't share some of my favorite movies with buddies because it's in b&w

  • Most great films are in B&W. In the past two weeks I've seen "Battle of Algiers", "what ever happened to baby jane?", "Grapes of Wrath" and "Night of the Hunter".

    They are all amazing.

  • What movie inspired him to be a pedophile?

  • George Lucas has 1 movie.

  • It's really the idea that anything 'old' can't be good that needs to go. How stupid. As Peter Bogdanovich points out, nobody refuses to look at 'old' paintings or 'old' sculptures.

  • Psycho is my favorite black n white movie

  • If not for the black and white movies, the movies called "The Golden Hollywood" we would not have cinema as we know it today! Everyone should see, especially the youth people and teens, movies like: All About Eve, Jezebel, Casablanca, An American in Paris, The Wizard of Oz, Singin 'in the Rain, The Gold Rush, Modern Times, Notorious, Nosferatu, Frankenstein, etc.

    The Classic Old Hollywood is simple beautiful and amazing.

  • @EJperfection created by classic books that were even older

  • Wow, I wish more people would watch this video and really get what Spielberg is saying. I remember Roger Ebert once saying that "people don't film history before Star Wars". What a sad indictment that is! I watch a lot of modern movies these days, but I just saw "The Band Wagon" for the first time and it's 100 times better than just about any of them.

  • My favorite b&w film is Nosferatu (1922)

  • What did he say at 0:46?

  • @MrArthurCherkesov He says 'all the movie brats learned from the masters.'

  • @genursus Thanks

    

  • I get what he's saying, but I don't completely agree. Every generation of filmmakers is inspired by the one before it, so I think it's only natural for a younger generation to have been solely influenced by the likes of Spielberg, Lucas, Cameron, etc.

  • okay i'm a movie freak but i'm afraid he's right, i'm 18 and have only sat through 3 black and white movie's, one of chaplin's, and bewitched and othello. any suggestions? good ones not boring.

  • @XsweetstarliteX I think that old movies from the Science-Fiction and Horror genre are the most entertaining. Frits Lang's Metropolis is very entertaining and mind blowing at times. James Whales's films like Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, and The Old Dark House are Awesome. All of the original Universal Studios monster movies are also recommended, too. Have fun watching them!

  • Wanting to be a film director, learning about cinema history and all the great directors, whether it's Murnau, Hitchcock, Cukor, Melies, Lang, Griffith, or Wyler, knowing about these great masters and their gems is extremely important and essential to myself, fellow film makers. It's a good thing that I have an appreciation for the classics.

  • I'm studying film in college right now and the thing we do more than anything else is analyze the older films. From all the way back to Edison, up through Orsen Welles, and even as late as Kurosawa, it's ALWAYS important. I completely agree with Speilberg. As much as I don't really care for older films, especially the silent ones, it is definitely imperative to study them if you're going into a field of cinematography, or directing.

  • @sickskiier346 So you feel you HAVE to watch them, you don't watch them because you like them. I don't understand prejudice against classics! They're exactly the same as modern films in that they tell stories. And how can you not love a good story well told? Why don't you "care for" older films?

  • @FriedEggsandChips I'm an escapist. And it's impossible to escape reality if you're looking at a black and white image. But that's just me, I totally understand how people can enjoy them, but to me, I see in color, I hear the noises around me, so if I have to watch a film like Porter's "The Great Train Robbery" whose image is in black and white, and the only music is piano playing... I can't help but notice I'm WATCHING a film, instead of immersing myself in one.

  • @sickskiier346 To me, it makes more sense that it's easier to escape with a black and white film. I'm 23 and some of the most engrossing movies I've ever seen in black and white. Our world is not in black and white which makes those movies much more easier to get lost in.

  • @sickskiier346 don't you think a black and white world is an escape from reality?

  • It's a hard thing... I mean, I do understand how important it is, specially for those studying Cinema and filmmaking, to watch classic films and the history of movie making. But as I stand here contemplating a list of over 50+ movies to watch, absolutely no time to do it, plus having to keep it up with new content and having to choose between all sorts of genres, it's easy to undestand why some people don't bother doing it at all. Of course I have watched Citizen Kane among others, though.

  • He's damn right I know this problem ... I myself have still to see a lot from that early eras ... but I try to get to watch as much as I can ... sadly I most of the time have to do it alone cause most of my friends are opposed to not only black and white but generally "old" films (for them anything older than the 80s-.-) or foreign films... they consider them generally "bad" or just "don't like it" ... thats so stupid and ignorant ...

  • I think the biggest reason for the 'Cut-off point' is the accessibility to watch B&W films.. You go to any DVD store or DVD section everything is pretty much 70's onwards films purely because of the color & quality sell to the mean market..

    You see B&W's on TV all the time but the adverts take up 20% of the viewing time which is a major put off..

    If their was more of an accessibility to classic films then obviously their would be more of a market or viewing figure, but I doubt this.

  • dannydontgoin, I agree. I have a girlfriend who does not watch French films, or any continental film. Why? She can't read sub titles.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • I forgot that film doesnt have color and sound.

    Some people want to understand film art, but they cant, because, they need to start from begining, from silent films. There are so many beautiful and original silent films. I can say I know thing or 2 about film, because I watched about 1100 silent films, and about 7000 ton films (about half blak-white, half with color). So if you want to be good film buff watch from silent and than forward to newest, than you can see how cinema evolved.

  • Ivan Terrible (1,2), Ikiru, Potemkin, Andrei Rublev, Bicucle thief, Metropolis, Jojimbo, Rashomon, 7 samurai, Duck Soup, Citizen Kane, M, Nosferatu, Grande Illusion, Rules of the game, Casablanca, From here to eternity, Mabuse (1,2) (Fritz Lang), Octyabr, Mat (Pudovkin), Zemlya (dovzhenko), General, Miracolo A Milano, Atalante (Vigo), Beauty and beast (Jean Cocteau). Some of my favourites.

    I agree with Spielberg. When I watch black-white or Black-white silent film, in first minute

  • I have practically every black and white films, silent, foreign etc[Notable ones ;)], plus ALL awesome films to date, as an aspiring Director, it's my DUTY to know What came in the days where cameras had to be driving around on pickup trucks [only way to move them!], and they're awesome movies anyway I Enjoy them.

  • Akira Kurosawa got me into black and white films a few years back. That man knows how to make one hell of a samurai film.

  • clerks is on black and white

  • why the volume of all the afi videos are sooooo low????

  • In the late 50's & early 60's my wonderful mom would let me stay home from school to watch her favorite black & white movies. All the tap dance movies, Clark Gable, John Wayne. The after the movie she would quiz me about what I had seen. She passed away suddenly soon after this but left me with a love of movies for life. So, Thanks Mom!

  • @Tones4me1

    I"m interested in what field you went on to work in? did you end up going to school for film and working in film or did you end up doing something else?

  • @SuperboyStudios I left my small home town at age 22 and went to LA by myself with $125 in my pocket. Made it work for 10 yrs, had a great time there. Studied screen play writing with both Stanley Ralph Ross and Robert McKee. Got sidetracked for 30 yrs but now have started writing again. Wish I could have afforded classes at a film school but since I was self supporting that wasn't possible.

    And you?

  • @Tones4me1

    I'm 23, hope to make movies for a living. We'll see how that will work out. I think making a name for myself on the internet and youtube is a smart first step to work at to achieve that goal

  • @SuperboyStudios I suggest cranking out 6 screen plays now. Just one after another. Don't do re-writes yet, just write. Then go back and apply all the tools you know at this point & do a first re-writes. THEN go to LA. That way when you take classes you are ready to really re-write them with additional tools in your belt. Then register them and that way you will have some polished scripts to hand out when you meet people. Go out and meet as many people as you can. Good luck!

  • trueee

  • Before VCRs in the 70s, I busted my 12-year- butt to buy a super-8 movie projector. I walked or peddled miles to the library to discover ANY kind of celluloid I could study at home. Magic. After exhausting the film supply at the local library, I was able to vview old films from other city libraries as I got older. By the time I entered a credited college film class, I already had a foundation built, and could tech-talk with the advanced students and teachers; and focus on creative projects !

  • The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a movie I love to look back on.

  • True, it is one the most classic movies ever made, but my favorite movie of all time is the 1942 classic, Casablanca.

  • steven spielberg is awesome and dammit i like the new indy movie. It had flaws but at least he gave the fans another movie.

  • Another complain I hear about "old movies" is that the acting sounds "fake." I try to tell them that the stylized execution of dialog comes from the theater, and that is where most of these actors got their training from. I also try to tell them about acoustics of the theater, and how the actors needed to project their voices to reach the back of the theater, hence the elongated phrases, but most "young kids" tune out by that time. Ah well.

  • If my children ever said to me they don't want to watch a movie because it's black & white I would disown them on the spot.

  • Black and white films are the best!! For me anyway.

    There not as distracting as todays colored films.

  • Spielberg is the MAN!!

  • Because it's in black & white is probably the dumbest reason to not watch a movie. I can understand not wanting to watch something because you don't like the actor starring in it, or you don't like the subject matter or you don't like the director's previous films. But black & white is simply an aesthetic. It doesn't change the story, the acting, the direction or anything else. Maybe if they saw just how gorgeous Kate Hudson or Robert Pattison looked in black & white they'd give it a chance.

  • @dannydontgoin237

    Exactly!

  • @dannydontgoin237 So now monochrome is arbitrated as 'artwork' and not a type of orthochromatic film base? (Rests palm on face)

  • @dannydontgoin237 I think it does affect the story,Because color contributes alot to set the tone/atmosphere in a scene, Just like sound,music,camera moves,etc. But still There are a lot of Amazing Black and white films, My favorites being the works of Orson Welles,Fellini,Bergman,Godard,­etc. The list goes on and on.

  • @dannydontgoin237 I agree with you about the Black and white issue - but as far as Not wanting to watch a movie due to the actor, really depends on the viewers interest. If I can't stand an Actor, its because that Actor is usually overrated in the first place. Also, I imagine there are Three types of Viewers - The Lover of Film, Love of Acting, and the Everyone Else. I do respect how the Film was made, but an Actor can Help the Hell out of an otherwise Terrible Movie..

  • @dannydontgoin237 no, robert pattinson is ugly whether you shoot him in black and white OR colour. ;-)

  • @dannydontgoin237 I totally agree. It's just ridiculous.

  • Stephen, you are amazing. I'll forgive u for Indiana Jones 4. Just keep on spittin out some more like Jurassic Park and Saving Private Ryan!

  • alfred hitchcock is the best filmmaker in cinema history

  • I agree with Spielberg. Although, I noticed in my film class where we'd watch these older films, I got the feeling that some aspects of film or elements of the plot would go right over my head because certain things were just different back then. The language they used, etc.

  • Everyone needs to see Metropolis.

  • @TastyPie95 oh really why is that?

  • @moviedude22 It´s considerd one of the greatest and most influential movies of all time.

  • @TastyPie95 I thought that spot was reserved for Citizen Kane but, what I really was after was a more subjective response. Why do YOU consider to be one of the greats? :)

  • @moviedude22 I realy like it, but my favorite movie is Forrest Gump, everyon must see that

  • @TastyPie95 and M

  • @morgantown1 Haven´t seen that one, hear it´s good though. Recomend it?

  • @TastyPie95 Indeed, my favorite Fritz Lang film--also Peter Lorre is amazing in it. Hans Beckert, his character, is my old PSN name. I started a new account after realizing the name might send the wrong impression. Ha once you see the movie you'll know what I mean

  • @morgantown1 Fritz Lang is a pretty cool dude, eh makes awsum filmz and dosent afraid of anything.

    Isen´t that the dude who kills children? I know a little bit about the movie, sorry if I´m wrong.

  • @TastyPie95 ha yeah, but first he molests them. Hence, I figured it might not be the best

  • @TastyPie95 Why?

  • @FriedEggsandChips Not a movie-know-it-all, huh?

    About the movie: wikipedia org/wiki/Metropolis

    Trailer: youtube com/watch?v=ZSExdX0tds4&featur­e=fvst

  • @TastyPie95 First, I was asking for your opinion on Metropolis, not a weblink. If I wanted to read a wiki article about the film I could have done that without your help. I doubt wiki explains why "everyone needs to see Metropolis", and I thought seeing as you made this grand statement perhaps you could elaborate on it yourself. I've seen the DVD and trailer of it on A m a z o n but wasn't sure whether I wanted to buy it before. Thus my question to you.

  • @TastyPie95 Second, I know a lot about films and consider myself a bit of a film buff, having at least 500 DVD's and seen many films in the cinema. But thanks for the patronising attitude anyway. I guess you felt I needed it?

  • @FriedEggsandChips Bit of a film buf myself, dont own to many dvds myself though I´ve seen a lot on tv and on the internet.

    I do realy think you should see it, it´s considerd one of the most influential movies of all time.

    For example: C3p0 in Star Wars is just a male version of the android in Metropolis.

  • @TastyPie95 Fritz Lang's silent Science-Fiction masterpiece.

  • @goduddy Couldn´t have said it better myself.

  • @TastyPie95 It's my favorite film ever made (and this is an ostensible as it conflicts on my list sometimes). Most people have to see Vampyr (1931), The Pleasure Garden (1925), I Live In Fear (1955), When the Clouds Roll By (1919), Cloak and Dagger (1946), M (1931), The Lady Vanishes (1938), On the Waterfront (1954), The Lost World (1925), F.W. Murneau's Pictures, Lon Chaney's and and so much more, like Griffith's... But like you said, it should be Metropolis hands down, on its own merits.

  • @blowskiol But there are a lot more fine movies that everyone needs to see to.

  • @TastyPie95 Granted. However, if anybody who are not engrossed in movies like that so much should watch "Metropolis". I mean, it's one of the silent films that actually has an accessible melodrama, steady performances (especially from Alfred Abel), allegory, morals, and of course fantasy. I think Fritz Lang really raised the stakes, and I also think that his futuristic and modern contrasts (for example, Rotwang's dank house, gothic, outside in a future world) an authenticity. I agree though.

  • @blowskiol Your comment speaks the truth.

    I´m kinnda curious, what´s your favorite film?

  • @TastyPie95 It's hard to say... I guess it could be many things... at the moment I am quite obsessed with "Orphans of the Storm" or "Abraham Lincoln" or "Fantasia 2000". I would say the one that I would mention off hand would be that of "Metropolis", "Once Upon a Time in America", "Intolerance". In comedy, it may be Jacques Tatis "Mr Hulot's Holiday". In horror, it's probably "Revenge of the Vampire" or "Shadow of the Vampire". It's a hard question. What are yours, apart from Metropolis?

  • @blowskiol Forrest Gump, 2001, First Blood, The Wild Geese and V for Vendetta. In that order.

    I admit that I haven´t seen many film made before the 60´s but I´m working on that :)

  • @blowskiol "The General", "City Lights"(or any Chaplin film), "M" are all great.

  • BETTE DAVIS BETTE DAVIS BETTE DAVIS

  • @MillaHead Exactly!

  • I completely agree! You have to study and understand the classics in order to learn expand your own knowledge about movies. Steven Spielberg is a true master of cinema, and I want to be a filmmaker myself. I'm constantly studying by watching old as well as new movies, and by reading books about the different arts of filmmaking. I'm a very dedicated person, and I believe that some of the most beautiful creations on this earth come from the art of filmmaking.

  • Don't you worry Stevie, there is a lot of young people who love the classics, including mwah!

  • @MonroeSmile and me! :)

  • I am still waiting for the next Marx Brothers. Those guys really made me laugh.

  • No wonder he is one of the greatest directors in Cinema history.

  • Absolutely..its been what I've been telling my friends about all the new flicks.

  • I completely agree with everything he says and I love the old films of the pre-60s

  • Top 10 Pre-60's Movies. 1. Bringing Up Baby (1938) 2. My Man Godfrey (1936) 3. The Shop Around the Corner (1940) 4. The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) 5. City Lights (1931) 6. Notorious (1946) 7. Olympia: Part I (1938) 8. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945) 9. The Browning Version (1951) 10. Les Diaboliques (1955)
  • @btopishere Thank you!
