I think the movie grease is cool too! It's so funny and I like the music.

Actually, The Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara is my all time fav....sigh.

Meredith, I love what you all did with the eyebrow thing...how cute!

Louisa---I'm with you girl. I rent OLD movies from the library practically every weekend! I love those things. I always try and get at least one Piroit (the detective series). I love that!

I've seen Giant so many times - and Rebel Without A Cause

And Gypsy. Loved Gypsy. Any Natalie Wood movie for that matter. Sex and the Single Girl. Debbie Reynolds and Tony Curtis in the Rat Race, Some Like It Hot, The Titanic (the one with Barbara Stanwyck.)

I liked Camelot and bought it recently. One of the movies I saw at the theater and cried my little heart out was Romeo and Juliet. And I like almost anything with Cary Grant in it.

Donna

Agree - anything with Cary Grant!

Donna,

I, too, loved Romeo and Juliet! I, too, cried with that one.

Like you, I love Cary Grant and anything he's in. Wasn't he wonderful?

I remember reading a quote he made years before his death..."I've pretended to be someone I've always wanted to be, and became that someone."

Thought that was interesting and insightful.

Oh amen, drool...drool...Cary Grant...hubba hubba hubba....LOVE THAT MAN! I love every single movie he EVER made! Yowlzer!!!!

ahem...ahem...well, I did.

Loved most of the old Judy Garland movies...Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St. Louis, Easter Parade and the classic A Star is Born. African Queen is right up there too, as is Philadelphia Story and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Tracy and Hepburn were awesome. But Gone With the Wind is probably my all time favorite, and Dotsie, you are not alone...a couple of years ago, I took my best friend to see it for her first time. I was incredulous that there was someone out there that hadn't watched it at least once. Hope you get to see it soon; it is a wonderful movie, and Clark Gable is really yummy!

I'm right there with you ladies, with Cary Grant. I loved "North by North West". I also loved the Rock Hudson and Doris Day movies like "Pillow Talk". One of my favourite movies and books about the USA, was "Cheaper by the Dozen". I know they have made a new version with steve Martin, but I am not interested as the older version was precious.

We got a lot of British shows here in Australia, but also many US ones. I loved the Dick Van Dyke show, My Three Sons, The Honeymooners, Red Skelton. I still remember Rin Tin Tin, Texas Rangers, Lone Ranger, Zorro. We used to act them out but never found a really useful substitute for horses - next door's dog never really recovered emotionally from being saddled one day!

One thing we would never miss was Disneyland. Do you still have that show? As in a modern version?
I guess Annette Funi...cello(sp?)may have changed a little but I remember her as the epitome of beauty!
