dandilionwine28 Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hey, my name is Annie and I'm new to the TCM message boards. I look forward in sharing in your discussions on movies, stars, etc. I have a fantastic love for old films and frequently watch TCM. Just thought you might like to know what I'm about a bit before I participate in your discussions. Talk to you soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brackenhe Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Hi Chris Chastain--welcome to the boards. You asked for recommendations for classic movies. What kind of movies do you like--comedies, dramas, film noir, silents, action, war movies, fantasy? Check the genres forums and there are different categories that I'm sure some posters have listed there favorite films. There's a thread on this subject called "If you could only own 10 DVDs" that list a variety of peoples favorites. I would recommend anything with Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, William Powell, Myrna Loy, Spencer Tracy, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Lon Chaney Sr., Norma Shearer, Judy Garland, Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Fred Astaire, James Stewart, Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck. These are just a few; I could go on and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
path40a Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Welcome! There's another topic in the "Hot Topics" forum entitled "Got any film recommendations" and another one in the Favorites forum titled "A Great Movie Alert" which may be of interest. Additionally, just visiting the Favorites forum itself, you'll find a lot of great movie recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicsfan1119 Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Welcome "Dandy...", and Chris! Good to have you with us. Others have given you some great suggestions about what to look for. I will only add that you do frequent visits to TCM's Home page and check out the movies and stars they are talking about, and also check into their monthly schedules. It won't be very long before you will have a good running-list of movies that you will want to see on TCM, or rent or purchase. Enjoy yourselves! :)ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrischastain519 Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Thank you brackenhe for the many choices to start viewing. I would like to know what the name of the movie starring Joan Crawford and Bette Davis? The one where They are much older and one of the ladies is in a wheelchair. I think there was a dead rat involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
