Classic Movies
Right now I'm watching " The Birds". There are other movies which starred Rod Taylor that I liked watching. I won't say what they are, but Classic Movies are my favorite but what are yours?

One of my most favorite classic comedy movies is “It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”. Just chock full of classic Hollywood stars and some great comedy bits and performances. I can recite Smiler Grogan’s (Jimmy Durante) ‘death’ statement at the front of the movie practically by heart. And when Johnathan Winters chases Phil Silvers with the pick ax at Santa Rosita State Park (which results in Winters discovering first just what the Big W was) and does a swinging dive at Silvers, practically trying to plant it in the top of Silver’s head, makes me chuckle every time.
Edie Adams was a doll back then and has a nice look all through the movie, even in her paint-spattered dress. And Ethel Merman as everyone’s nightmare mother-in-law and Dick Shawn as her beach bum beatnik son are priceless. The whole cast did a great job. A great comedy movie from a different place in time. Trivia note: the title of the movie would, sadly, take on a much too true ring: about two weeks after it’s release in November, 1963 certain events on a Friday afternoon in Dallas, Texas would soon make many believe it truly was a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

I like Westerns from the 60's forward. My 2nd favorite Movie is Open Range with Costner/Duvall.
Just about anything with John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Clint Eastwood, or Charles Bronson. I also like many 80's comedy films. My favorite movie of all time is Animal House.

I grew up going to the Saturday matinee, so Godzilla movies are up there.
Then the old "Movie for a Sunday Afternoon" showing Robinhood, Sinbad, and pirate movies. Which they have just brought back. The old Charlton Heston stuff, Omega Man, Soylent Green, Planet of the Apes. ________________________________ |

Nobody posted the classic "War of the Worlds" A favorite!
Any Indiana Jones movies. Star Wars. Star Trek movies. I love John Wayne movies, watch one last night. Jerry Lewis comedies. 1970's Steve Martin routines. "Mind if I smoke?" "Mind if I fart?" Still makes me laugh!
