Do you browse once in a while at clasic films?

I always watch old movies in one of the cable T.V. channels, I love "gone with the wind" but I also love movies like " how the west was won", " tarras bulba", the older version of " Helen of Troy", "Ben Hur", "Spartacus", anything Yul Brynner or Charlston Heston is great to me . I love comparing old and new versions and pretend I'm a movie critic

First of all , i want you to define "classic films".To my mind , "classic"means "good and meaningful ".And it seems that time has nothing to do with the quality of movies . "Forrest Gump ","The Shawshank "and "Inception"are all my list of classic movies. Even "Inception "is made last year ,i still regard it as classic for its plot and story .

I just finished watching Solomon and Sheba - Yul Brynner and one of the most beautiful women of her times in the world - Gina Lollobrigida. (She still looks good!) I like watching movies by Cecil B DeMille, he's made some great like The Ten Commandments and The Greatest show on earth, as well as Cleopatra that you have mentioned. Incidentally, one of his earliest movies was 'The Squaw Man made in 1914. Among the modern magnum opus that have been released in the past few years, I think Troy and the Gladiator come close to Cecil B DeMille's creations. Like Cecil B DeMille in Hollywood, we had an actor, director and producer in India who classic Hindi movies and a whole generations image of History is based on his historical films. One of his best movies Sikandar (Alexander, the Greek Conqueror) was made long before I was born - a black and white movie that still moves a lot - the movie is based on Alexander and the stiff resistance that an Indian king Porus offered to his invasion.

hi marguicha! yes, i do watch classic films. 'dirty dozen' is indeed a good one. i usually schedule some time over the weekend to watch some classic films. this weekend, on deck for me are 'taxi driver' and 'platoon'. not classic films in the strictest sense but great films nonetheless.

I love old movies, even some of the silent movies. I adore Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, The Marx Brothers, Abbott and Costello, all the old comedians. There is something about them that you do not find in most of the newer movies, most likely it's that you are forced to use your imagination a lot more often than wth the newer movies. It seems that, today, everything has to be instantaneous, immedate and bombard the viewers with action. It's funny, my husband complains about "today's youth" in that they need this immediate and intense stimulation in viewing movies and tv shows, while he won't watch the older, slower movies or gets bored with them and doesn't watch most of any movie. He is guilty of the very thing he complains about the younger generation. Idiot. If I had to choose between an older or newer movie, I'd choose the older one every time.

ooh yes..i do.. i just bought my self a classic PSYCHO movie on Bluray ..steelbook..collection..50th aniversary,, i also intend to order Ben hur..in Bluray..

well, lets say that they have to be pretty old to pre-date me these days. I have certainly enjoyed movies from before I was born, but I don't watch many movies these days because I don't watch much TV. I used to watch lots of old movies from the 30's, 40's and 50's when I was a child.

I love classic movies. I tend to prefer them over new (American) releases. Many of my favorite classic movies are films noir, including "The Maltese Falcon" and "Sunset Boulevard" (which I first saw with my boyfriend, so it holds a special place in my heart). Despite being a fan of classic movies (pre-1970s, and mostly pre-1960s), I've never seen any of Charlie Chaplin's work beyond maybe one short piece. I'm not quite certain how it happened, but that's how it has worked out.

Because of what I do I watch anywhere from 14 to 20 movies a week and I would say that over half of those are movies from long before I was born in the 70s. For me older movies have always been more impressive than modern movies, they had great storylines and even when they weren’t great storylines they were still the driving force rather than in modern movies when it’s all about big effects and star names. I’ve now got to the point that I look for old movies on TV, not just classics but ones I have never heard of from the 30s and 40s and rarely end up disappointed.

I love the old movies. A few years ago a friend and I used to go to a particular picture theatre in the city that used just show the old classics. Many were still in black and white. I recall seeing Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, A Streetcar Named Desire just to name a few. We used to go every Wednesday after work and I used to look forward to it a lot. I don’t remember any of the Charlie Chaplin films although my Dad and I used to watch those on Sundays when we lived in Italy and they used to be shown on television. Nothing like the golden oldies...

I've watched loads of older movies but to be honest i have been spoilt by modern special effects so i'd rather watch newer ones. I still love older musical movies though like summer holiday, grease, fame and flashdance. I thought the new fame was terrible!

For me no because I don't love to see movie's that's why I don't know what you are said.

ya i do like classics films but the new ones have better graphics and new stories interests me. i actually go for stories that are different or have much action or suspense.

Who doesn't? :p I just love watching star wars over and over. i know that it isn't very "classic" but it's still awesome xD

I've seen a number of classic films, but I'm not terribly fond of them. I know I love the old sci-fi/horror movie Them! and lots of old comedies like Bringing Up Baby, Father Goose, and The Court Jester. I also love the old Biblical dramas The Ten Commandments and Ben-Hur. I'm not fond of Casablanca, in fact I might hate it just a little bit. lol

Though I don't watch older movies on a regular basis, there are times that I do want to watch some of the older movies. I really must admit that I didn't care too much for them when I was younger but then when I was in college I had a professor that made movies a very important part of his class and because of that I really started to enjoy those movies. We watched some really interesting classic movies for his class.

i also love to watch classical old films too if the movies is a category of horror thriller.... it doesn't matter.

I love good cinema. It does not matter if the film is a classic or not. Classics like 'Gone with the Wind' are real woonders and are watched by people of all generations.
