My all time favorites...I don't really like to watch movies over and over again, but these I can always watch!!

Oh , for the "always can watch" movies ....

Blazing Saddles
Blues Brothers
Ferris Buehler ( my high school  biography    :rofl:  )
Up in Smoke w/ Cheech n Chong
Risky Business
Weird Science

I'm not sure if any of those are "classics" though ...

I head for B&W movies on search and finally found one that I had looked for for years.   

The 1938 movie Hitchcock made in Germany about a child molester with Peter Lorie as the killer. 

No subtitles all spoken in German but Hitchock was able to use the actors to , like the silent films to tell the story.   Film is called    M    a remarkable film, showed Hitchcock's  brilliance back then.

One of the women in "A Letter To Three Wives", Linda Darnell, had a tragic life. Her personal life was a mess but she was such a breathtakingly beautiful woman. She ended up dying from burns she got after her house caught fire in the 60's.

There were so many wonderful actresses whose life was a mess (Patty Duke, Judy Garland).  I did read about Linda Darnell because she is a local legend in the Skokie area. Such a shame she died.

The High and The Mighty - John Wayne

American Graffiti - I was at the Omaha one night event showing for this one a few months ago helping out with showing off models of cars from the movie and the era.

Blazing Saddles - Mel Brooks

Ice Station Zebra - A spy movie but nothing like James Bond or the Bourne movies.

I enjoy old movies myself.  If there is nothing in prime time I go look up TCM or AMC to see what is on.  Many times it is better than what is showing on the other TV channels.  Years ago they did not repeat movies like they do now so many times I have seen a movie and it is being repeated through out the week

Lucas admitted they had to cut loose most of the rear end to get it to do that, but still awesome in my book!

We cut nothing loose! We chained it up, waited for the asshole to come out of a cafe', and then peeled out spraying his hood and windshield with rocks and gravel.

There could have been an explosion! Geeeeeezzz........

"Old" is relative...

The Wizard of Oz was released in 1939.

I saw it for the first time on TV in 1967, twenty-eight years later, at the age of three.

In 2009 I babysat my (then) youngest cousin, aged three, and showed him The Empire Strikes Back.

Then it hit me.

Empire, released in 1981, being viewed by a three-year-old, twenty-eight years later.

The Empire Strikes Back is my little cousin's The Wizard of Oz.  

(Yes, he's seen Oz, too.  On a big screen, at the age of six.  A local theater plays Saturday matinees of old flix.)

Rumor has it that George himself showed up to the event in Omaha I was at. I didn't see him but when my friend Bruce who put the event on checked with the limo service he used to bring the guest in ,they confirmed that they did pick Mr Lucas up and took him to the show and then drove him back to the airport after it was done.

Here's a link to the event. On Page two there is a picture of the display I helped organize and set up with my brothers Soundtrack LP to the movie and the model cars from the show too. That's me standing next to the table.
