Classic Films


Recommended Posts

A sound of music and stephen king's the shinning are my all time favorite classic movies

 

The Shining is one of the best horror films that I have ever seen.. The genius of both King and Kubrick can be felt and seen in the movie.. Jack Nicholson was perfect as the "evil dad"..

 

Other Kubrick classic films would be A Clockwork Orange and The Killing.. :D

classic films?... naku, ang dami nito!

 

if you're just starting try to look for these:

 

- Alfred Hitchcock directed movies - notably REAR WINDOW, VERTIGO, NORTH by NORTHWEST, etc

- Frank Capra directed movies - MR DEEDS GOES TO WASHINGTON, MR SMITH GOES TO TOWN, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, etc

- Oscar Best Picture Awardee - although some are not so great, and does not age well

- Sunset Boulevard - my favorite old movie. An aging silent movie queen still thinks she's a star when everyone has forgotten her already. stars Gloria Swanson, William Holden

- Bringing Up Baby - screwball comedy starring Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Baby (a leopard)

- Akira Kurosawa movies - notably SEVEN SAMURAI, IKIRU, RASHOMON - eventually, you'll crave for foreign films and learn to love subtitles

- Grapes Of Wrath - Henry Fonda stars in this character driven movie set during the US deression

- Citizen Kane - considered the best US movie ever made. Written, directed and starred by ORSON WELLES

 

and many many more

Akiro Kurosawa - specially those with Toshiro Mifune.

 

1. Seven Samurai's - Hollywood made it to "The Magnificent SEven",

2. Yojimbo - remaid in Hollywood, western version "Fist Full of Dolar" with Clint Eastwood yung character ni Toshiro Mifune is ang basis of Clint Eastwoods role of the Man with No name. and later version "Last Man Standing" starring Bruce Willis.

some recent (last 20 years) are destined also to be classic:

 

Platoon

Raging Bull

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

Rocky (the first only)

Goodbye Girl

Steven Spielberg movies

 

--come to think of it, these are all Best Pictures already.

 

I realize, that collecting these would be very expensive - your friendly abusuki will have affordable versions.

 

some other titles to look for:

 

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane

Anatomy of A Murder

Mr Roberts

African Queen

 

His Girl Friday - this is a fun watch. I first watch The Front Page with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, then saw on the credits that it is based on another movie. I looked for a copy of His Girl Friday which turned out to be a Cary Grant movie. As good as The Front Page is, I believe His Girl Friday better. In later years, this again was remade into Switching Channels with Burt Reynolds, a disappointing remake.

Maltese Falcon
