Best classic films that you've watched so far?

[bassfisher6522]

I never could understand French. All I can just about remember are the days of the week, months of the year, and numbers up to about 100.

You only now need to learn retreat, surrender and collaborate then you will have the entire language completely mastered

That's just good TV right there....holy crap that's funny.:roflmao:

"I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." —General George S. Patton

Does Blade Runner count as a classic film yet?

I seem to remember Charles de Gaulle once saying he wanted all American GIs off European soil.

He was then asked if that included the ones buried there.

When NATO was formed who didn't join because it threatened their 'sense of pride'? You've got it, the French.

General de Gaulle was a real European who would not put up with all the BS that came from overseas and from across the channel. Too bad he died so early. The EU would look different today if he had been around long enough.

Perhaps this thread would be of some help:

The term classic is used so broadly these days. I guess it's up to choice.
I usually think of classics as being from the 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's.
Seekermeister's thread has some gems, some I had forgot about until he started his thread.

Hi there

There's loads and loads to start from but rather than suggest individual titles try the following:

A good list might be to start looking at what the TCM channel plays -- you don't have to be a suscriber or even have TCM available -- just search its TV guide on the internet.

http://www.tcmuk.tv/

Other lists worth browsing are the listing from SKY TV's MGM HD channel and its own Classic Movies channel.

http://www.mgmchannel.com/united-kingdom

http://movies.sky.com/sky-movies-classics

These are UK sites but accessible from the Internet at large. You probably won't be able to subscribe but their listings give you a great idea of what's available.

I have to say in passing that you really should look at these two 1) Forbidden Planet excellent THOUGHTFUL INTELLIGENT Science fiction and of course 2) the ORIGINAL version of "The Italian Job" -- all those Classic Mini cooper cars on the streets of Milan, the cockney voice of Michael Caine and an ending to DIE FOR -- brilliant all the way through.


Cheers
jimbo
