Old films

[4catsaremylife]

I came across a thread from 2017 where posters were taking about their favourite old movies which put me in mind of a french film I saw as a child. It has stayed with me for years, it was called L'argent de poche, I believe, and was directed by Truffaut. It must be 30 years since I saw it but has stayed with me all these years. Am I alone in this or do others feel the same?

When I was a child I was ill & home quite a lot & used to watch the afternoon film on C4 - watched loads of old films & came to love Some of them, still watch them now : Singin' in the Rain, Guys 'n' Dolls, Calamity Jane, so many others.

West Side Story .... even though I’ve watched it Zillions of times ... if any channel shows it .. I’m on it lol

I don't have any favorites from my childhood. I barely went to movies at all until I was at college.

So, to me, "old films" are the marvelous ones I began to see as an adult. Certainly better than anything I would have seen as a child - although I'm impressed by any family that would take a child to see Truffaut.
