De Mille... 3 days ago I finally managed to watch sunset boulevard

Red Shoes is good, not seen it in years though!

A Wonderful Life is the Christmas one (I assume that is the one you are meaning)

love sunset boulevard franca..did you like it?
william holden hmm

my favourite is a young burt lancaster, but hey even old is fine!

km
sounds fab
hearst castle, thats one great pile alright..
rupert murdoch of his day dont you think?

i think they will be though
truly
am not being glib

and dont think time necessarily dictates classic anything

they are fantastic films, photographed beautifully, crafted well, evocative, telling pertinent stories of their day..they will be thought of as classics, just maybe at not first in our western culture

bbc4 film four are good for movies sometimes if you have it..

Yes, I really enjoyed it. Gloria Swanson was positevely freaky. I enjoyed William Holden.

franca, he's nice!

my sister (in her lucid moments..) and i both agree she will end up like gloria swanson or blanche from A StreetCar Named Desire...

know of it, but no not seenit ..yet
dont get out muchnow

our local library is throwing itself up as decent dvd option

they show old silent movies with scored live music somethimes at royal festival hall its just fab you'd love it
saw battleship potemkin and others, oh its too late for me now! Brain going....

yes just bbc4 and filmfour

have realised I have seen Citizen Kane.

I LOVE The Red Shoes, have it on DVD

aww fantastic! love these places..

and yeh but yeh but yeh
the really gutting thing about it is that EVERY SUNDAY AFTERNOON bbc2 used to show all these old movies, and some real rank ones, but you got to see alot of movies ...for license fee..
mad wc fields, lots and lots of stan and ollie buster keaton harold loyd
abbot and costello not for me,
humphrey gregory burt kirk robert mitchum
oh it was great..

i just dont rate alot of what is made today ..formulaic fodder..not great storytelling in moving light pictures & sound
so now all these films are on SKY and you pay, well, i dont
(see randolph hearst comment earlier,he has enough cash, he dont need mine)
have freeview n thats it!
