Dark Crystal - I loved Waterloo Bridge too. BBC1 used to show black and white films like this at 2 o'clock on a Sunday afternoon in the 70s. It was lovely on a winter Sunday afternoon, after the roast dinner, to sit by the fire and watch a good romantic film.

Ah, Vivien Leigh was just so beautiful too. I spent ages trying to locate it on DVD and finally found an imported copy on Amazon. Pure Sunday afternoon bliss!

They just don't make 'em like that anymore.

Princess Peach

I'm mad for musicals! Love White Christmas, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Some Like it Hot.

Am I one of the few who doesn't call a film made in the 1980's an "old film?"

Pink Fox

Goodbye Mr. Chips and How Green Was My Valley are wonderful films. I also love Goodbye Mr. Chips with Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark. Martin Clunes played Mr. Chips in a TV version. It is such a good story. There is an excellent TV series of How Green Was My Valley with Sian Phillips playing the mother.

Haha! I was going to say the only film I can think of made before I was born that I've enjoyed is Star Wars (A New Hope ), and I don't think that even qualifies as "old" :pac:
