I wish I had watched Ben-Hur years ago... it is such a fantastic movie... even made me cry. Charlton Heston is brilliant in it. I think old movies are the best, no matter what they are. The greats like Heston, Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Doris Day, Cary Grant, William Holden, Grace Kelly -- they are timeless! Can you recommend any other great actors and actresses of the 30s - 60s?

I'm gonna buy a dozen more old movies cos I'm just so in love with them. The charm of the actors and actresses in those days -- just unmatchable.

The Days of Wine & Roses - Lee Remick & Jack Lemmon
Now Voyager - Bette Davis
Alice Adams - Katherine Hepburn
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner - Katherine Hepburn

Perhaps you should hook up with Net Flix ... a lot of video stores do not carry many classics.

I love watching the old movies. Most movies today don't hold a patch on them.
One of my favorite actors was John Wayne. I have just about all the movies he ever made. Mind you, when I watch the really old ones, I laugh at them.
Gone With The Wind is one of my all time favorites, along with African Queen (starring Humphry Bogart and Katherine Hepburn). Casablanca is another all-time great (another Bogart film).
For comedy,it's hard to go past the Marx Brothers.
