ggwhiz Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 The original Peter Pan with Mary Martin kinda disappeared but was the best. Used to be a yearly staple along with the Wizard of Oz but I read once that there was some kind of dispute between the family and Disney over the rights.

gwnn Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 also, I don't think It's a Wonderful Life is so good as everyone else seems to think. Granted, its humour is much more fresh than anything I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 To Kill a Mockingbird has to be one of the most boring films in the world! Who cares about the lawyer's stupid kids? Isn't this supposed to be a film about a trial? 12 Angry Men was exciting, even though the ending was obvious and unsurprising. But this was absolutely stupid and boring.

kenberg Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 As maybe I said earlier "Movies I can't stop watching" and "Movies I think are really great" are not the same thing. I'll watch various movies that I know pretty well, usually I am a bit worn down and I have a glass of wine in my hand. For example, in no particular order: Laura (1944)The Third Man (1949)Key Largo (1948)From Here to Eternity (1953) Typically I saw these movies when they came out (Laura was the exception but I think I saw it as a re-run while I was still young) and I just settle in for some nostalgia. Laura and The Third Man have memorable theme songs. From Here to Eternity has a number of strong roles. Sniatra made some really dumb movies but he is good ion this one. Key Largo I just like. Lauren Bacall was not a great actress but she just gets in front of the camera and does her thing. I always like her roles. I liked To Kill a Mockingbird well enough and I thought the kids were the best part. But I don't generally re-watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y66 Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 I was 2 or 3 years older than Scout when I first saw To Kill A Mockingbird. It seems like all the girls I had crushes on in grade school and in high school were modeled after her. I don't think I've ever seen a movie with Robert Duvall in it that I didn't like. Gregory Peck was not too bad in that one either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobowolf Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Duvall's first feature film. Peck's performance is generally considered one of the best all-time acting performances in film history. Also Harper Lee's only novel, and it won the Pulitzer. She out-Ungared Stu Ungar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoAnneM Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Movies that are great and movies that I keep watching have nothing to do with each other. Movies that I keep watching are just for relaxation and entertainment, usually light, but not stupid. One we just rewatched on our recent RV trip (it lives in the motorhome) was "Dave".
