Great old films

[4F]

Papillion-best film ever. Close the thread.

Unless anyone mentions stir crazy.

2 great films there, I would like to add Bullitt and Ice Cold in Alex as another two of my favourites.

Yeah, I love Stir Crazy, "we bad"

If it's old black and white it's got to be The Maltese Falcon or The Big Sleep. Or Passport to Pimlico or Kind Hearts and Coronets or Secret Life of Walter Mitty or Harvey or...

I have always liked Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World... 1963 -ish? From busting up the gas station to bouncing on a fireman's ladder - it made me smile.

Night Of The Demon

I had nightmares about that one for years as a kid!

Night of the Demon

" It's in the trees.... It's coming..... the demon .....aaaargh! "

Yes, I too filled my pants the first time I saw it when I was about ten years old in the early seventies.

" The power of the runic symbols "

Agree totally about Colonel Blimp, did you know Churchill tried to get it banned for some reason!

I've just watched another P&P film: 49th Parallel. Once you get over the fact that the Nazis spoke English and had a posh accent it's an excellent film, particularly the ending.

My workmate did tell me today, though he's convinced it WAS banned. I found nothing on the film websites about an actual ban.

bit of a Bogey fan...

The Big Heat
The Maltese Falcon
Dark Passage
Casablanca, which I'd like to remake in a modern day north west setting and call it Casablancaster

and of course Whistle Down the Wind, of which I'd like to make a follow up; Whistle Down the wind 2... set 15 years later when Blakey finally gets out of prison and goes hunting all the kids whom he now blames for his years of incarceration... it's a slasher movie.
