I know there is a movie thread already but it's more to do with current films...what about oldies you have watched recently.....I think it deserves its own thread...

I have just watched "The Odd Couple" with Matthau and Lemmon....genius...any more?

How far back can you go for old movies?

If the 80's - The Dream Team.

Some Like it Hot-a true classic.

'Course, anything by the Marx Brothers, Groucho was hilarious.

The Quiet Man - like Darby O' Gill, a bit cheesy and Oirish but pure escapism..

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I've never actually seen this film.

Although I have seen Animal Farm.. not the Orwell version. Truthfully, I was sat in a movie theatre in Amsterdam watching it and there was only me and these two pensioners - man and wife they were. Out comes this Alsatian on the screen and what this woman does with that dog is attrocious. (She had her t**g*e up the dog's ho*e and they gave it a bl**j*b - and did not spit!) Serious, I couldn't even get wood I was that disgusted - the sight of any dog showing its "Lipstick" is enough to make me sick. Anyhow when it's over I walks up to the two pensioners and ask them what the f**K were they doing at the film. Turns out that they owned the Alsatian and had hired it out to a man for the film. Anyhow, all a bit of crack.
