  1. :D Technicolor sunglasses....love it! LOL!

     

    Anyhoo....this was a tough list to make; but this is what I came up with...

     

    #1: Jimmy Stewart - especially in Harvey- he was so adorable in that movie!!

     

    #2: Cary Grant - how can ya not just love him in Arsenic & Old Lace?

     

    #3: Claudette Colbert - she was great with Clark Gable in It Happened One Night

     

    #4: Ray Milland - guy cracks me up....especially in The Uninvited

     

    #5: Bette Davis - what's not to like??

  2. Hmmm....I think the first movie I ever saw in a movie theater was Fantasia when I was around three years old. I don't remember much besides being fascinated by how magical it was.

     

    Now, as far as the classics go....my mother was the one who passed her love of them to me. Before VCR's came out she would wake me up in the middle of the night with a hot cup of tea or cocoa to watch movies such as The Uninvited, Rebecca, The Enchanted Cottage, Portrait of Jennie and MANY others. I will never forget those special times with my mom. Now, as a mother myself I'm trying to pass along the love of the classics to my 3 sons. Not an easy task with all of the movies out today that leave nothing to the imagination. My 11yr. old (middle son) is showing signs of appreciating classic movies. We watched Arsenic and Old Lace and he just LOVED it. Kept yellin' "CHARGE" and crackin' up...lol. He also loved Harvey and Ghost Breakers starring Bob Hope. It makes me soooo happy to see my kids enjoying movies that most kids their age would never see (or appreciate). Hey, I'm only 32 for that matter and most of my friends my age know nothing of the classics either!

     

    On another note.....someone had mentioned Netflix for renting classic DVD's. I tried it out this summer during my recovery period from a herniated disk (my neck) surgery and really enjoyed the service. They had almost all of the classics I looked for, and they sent them out ASAP. No late fees....you can keep the movie as long as you want. Liked it so much I'm still using the service.

     

    Well....just signed up to this forum yesterday and I'm soooo thrilled to have found it. So nice to meet others who enjoy the classics as much as I do!!
