My husband did something he has never done, sat down and watched two movies in a row with me today...and I loved it. He is always working, be it actual work or messing around on his truck so it was a nice afternoon for me.
I was looking on Netflix for a classic movie and found Harold and Maude. I have never seen it and decided to watch it. I asked my husband to sit down with me and watch, and he did. :) Then I decided I wanted to watch the original Odd Couple and he agreed to watch it with me too.
I liked both movies but I liked the Odd Couple more (and had seen it before). My most favorite classic movies are "Auntie Mame", "Some like it hot" and "My Fair Lady". What are your favorite classic movies?
-
I liked Harold & Maude quite a bit. The first time I saw it the mother's reaction to Harold's hanging shocked me - until he looked up from the noose.
My favorite classics are Bringing Up Baby, Arsenic & Old Lace and just about anything else with Grant, Bogart or K Hepburn.
-
I'm thinking I may have seen Bringing Up Baby, can you give me a liittle hint?
-
BUB is Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant in frantic comedy. They're taking a leopard to Susan Vance's (KH) farm in Westlake, CT. Grant is Prof. David Huxley (could be Huxby, I've forgotten).
It cheers me up when I watch it. Apparently, it was very unpopular when it debuted back in the day.

Wow. It has been my experience that wives don't like husbands seeming to relax for 4 straight hours. :-)
I'm impressed, BEG.

Yeah, me too. No way could I EVER sit through two movies back-to-back. It's already a challenge just to sit down for 90 minutes.
And sitting in front of the TV for 30 minutes is just about impossible too. Too many damned commercials.
Mrs E, I love ya hon, but I can't go into Zombie-mode like you do when you have the remote in your hands.

I loved The Odd Couple. The TV show is a pale, watered-down imitation of the original.
Never seen Harold and Maude. I hear the name 'Maude' and immediately think Bea Arthur.
-
My favorite classics would be Casablanca, any of the Errol Flynn swashbucklers (Including the last few which were in color, though that may be cheating), and Things to Come.
-

Bringing Up Baby is one of my favorites too. I just saw Singin' in the Rain for the first time and it was great. I also like the two you started the thread with. I love the linguine scene.
