I loved The Great Gatsby with Robert Redford. It was really amazing.

I haven't seen it either. I feel kind of guilty about that. I don't think I can call my self a classic movie fan since I haven't seen that yet.

Samweed Knightly

Yeah, I don't know. I started to watch it but didn't like it all to much. So I stoped I own it maybe I'll watch it all one of these days.

Omg, GWTW is one of my all-time favorite movies. It is just incredible. Must watch it.

I have a few avies I made that I've posted before...

I haven't seen many classic films, and I would love to give it a try. The only movies I've seen in black and white were Dracula (in English Class, the 1920s one) and Dial M for Murder which I hardly remember. I've seen bits and pieces of movies on the tv, but I don't recall what.

Gone With the Wind is an incredible film, greatly adapted from the book with a perfect cast. It's really exceptional. If you're thinking it'll be a dull stuffy film, watch it and you'll think differently. I thought the same. If you're intimidated by the length, do what I did the first time I watched it. Watch disk one the first day and disk two the second.

sombras19, did you see Nosferatu? That is the first surviving Dracula movie. Bram Stoker's family wanted all of the copies destroyed because it was made based on the novel without purchasing the rights to it. It's a strange film, but pretty creepy at times. One cool fact about it: there are tazmanian wolves in the movie, an animal that went extinct in the 1930s.

It is quite long, but GWTW is worth it.

I'm a HUGE classic movie fan. My favorite era I think would have to be the 30's followed by the 40's. My very favorites are Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn but I also love Marilyn Monroe, Jean Harlow, William Powell, Barbara Stanwyck, Humphrey Bogart, Natalie Wood, Paul Newman, James Dean, Vivien Leigh, Ginger Rogers, Lucille Ball, Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, William Holdin, Claudette Colbert and finally I'm getting really into Robert Taylor as well.
My very favorite movie is My Fair Lady. Others I love are: Gone With The Wind, Sunset Boulevard, Waterloo Bridge (if you love Vivien Leigh you must see it), Somebody Up There Likes Me, East Of Eden, all Fred and Ginger movies, Casablanca, The Big Sleep, The Thin Man, Penny Serenade, Notorious, and Psycho. I also love The Music Box which is a classic comedy short with Laurel and Hardy.

i love the Gone With The Wind icons.

How many people here have seen Guys and Dolls? I love that movie. I like the song Luck Be a Lady.

Hmm, don't kill me but I saw Gone with the Wind once and never wanted to watch it again. True, the visual quality is just outstanding for a movie in 30s and what I like about the character Scarlett O Hara isn't all the epitome of all that is chaste and holy and it was a lot more realistic. But after watching the movie, I was left exhausted. Basically, for me it is a good movie, but well, not to be watched weekly.
