I thought I would share with you all a few of my favourites…Prepare for a trip down memory lane, because I like OLD FILMS π
In no particular order:
Gone with the Wind (1939)
All about Eve (1950)
The Slipper and the Rose (1976)
The Amazing Mr. Blunden (1972)
The Princess Bride (1987)
Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949)
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943)
Death on the Nile (1978)
Murder on the Orient Express (The version with Albert Finney and Lauren Bacall in it) (1974)
Scrooge (the Alastair Sim version made in 1951)
Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967)
Show Boat (two films versions, one in 1936 and another in 1951, both favourites)
Singing in the Rain (1952)
Paddington (2014)
Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971)
There’s something about Mary (1998)
That’s probably enough to be getting on with. Only four of these were made AFTER I was born. Can you guess which ones?
Any on here that you love too? Let me know.

There’s a mix of British and American films and some musicals and other genre’s I don’t like to stick to one thing. π

I am actually giddy here…..no one I have ever met outside of my family has EVER heard of The Amazing Mr. Blunden! I love that movie. Also, the Alastair Sim version was THE best one made! You don’t know how many people I know do not even know there is a difference in stories! Makes me angry every holiday season…lol. Bedknobs and Broomsticks will always be a classic–watching her bloomers walk out the door is hilarious. I have the soundtrack on my spotify list.

EXCELLENT! I am glad my quirky taste in films has resonated with you. We need to resurrect these old movies so they don’t get forgotten π They are apparently going to remake Bedknobs and Broomstick, but they won’t be able to beat the original!

I heard that too and my heart sank. Nothing will beat the original on many of those shows.

Haven’t watched any of them. But would add to my ‘To be watched’ list.
Well for starters Paddington is definitely after u were born π and I would take a wild guess, Death on the Nile, there’s something about Mary and The slipper and the rose.

3 right. The Slipper and the Rose came out the year before I was born. The other film was The Princess Bride π If you watch Gone with the Wind (which is my absolute favourite) you have to have a break half way through because it goes on a bit. They often show it on the telly on two consecutive nights π
