Guest Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Hi, I'm starting a classic movie club at my college, Chapman University, and was hoping to get some feedback about the movies that I have chosen to show throughout the year. I was planning to screen one a week and have background info on it to pass out to people who attend. I've decided to have each month cover a different genre and was trying to get a pretty good variety of movies; and actors too. If any of you know a really great movie that I don't have up there and don't know about I would really appreciate your input. Thank you so much, here's the line up: Sept- Comedy A Night at the Opera It Could Happen to You Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer The Apartment Born Yesterday October- Horror Invisible Man Hunchback of Notre Dame Freaks The Picture of Dorian Gray November- Adventure/Mystery/ Noir Captain Blood The Thin Man Laura *Need One More* December- Christmas White Christmas *Need One More* February- Drama Roaring 20's Rebecca San Francisco *Need Two More* March- Westerns Fort Apache *Need three more* April- Musicals Maytime Footlight Parade Moon Over Miami or Springtime in the Rockies *Need Two More* May- New Classic Movie Here I would like to show a newer movie that is considered a classic Thank you again for your time! ~Carla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I wanted to thank everyone who answered my request for movie ideas for my Classic Movie Club I started at Chapman University. We have already had two movie nights that were so much fun! This week is Holiday 1938 and next week is The Apartment 1960. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msladysoul Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Hey Carla, I'm kind of a movie expert. Classic movie expert. I love movies that have on the edge of your seat, movies that have your jaw hanging and mouth open, movies that can tear you up, movies that make you look at yourself and want to make a change, movies that make you say I wish movies were like that today, basically movies that tell a story. Here's a few you should show your club. The Women Angels with Dirty Faces Ladies They Talk About Gold Diggers of 1933 Night Nurse Three on a Match A Star is Born- both versions The Gang's All Here Gilda Cover Girl A Letter to Three Wives The Desperate Hours Hallelujah I have more, email me at MsLadySoul@aol.com I wish I could be apart of your club=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
