On this list there is no Elvis film. I don't know who made this list up but there is only 20 films I know. Some foreign films on here too. Which is your favourite all time classic film? -------------------- Frank

Fun topic Frank!
Wow that is a tough one, I have so many! I couldn't name just one.... If it is an Elvis answer you are looking for: Kid Galahad and Charro Old Classics: An Affair To Remember --Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr The Ghost And Mrs Muir --Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison Come Next Spring --- Steve Cochran and Ann Sheridan Ball of Fire ---Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck Band of Angels ---Clark Gable and Yvonne DeCarlo River of No Return ---Marilyn Monroe and Robert Mitchum Reap The Wild Wind ---John Wayne and Jeanne Crain Bachelor Mother ---Ginger Rogers and David Niven North To Alaska ---John Wayne and Stewart Granger I like happy endings! Musicals: Young At Heart -- Doris Day and Frank Sinatra Calamity Jane --Doris Day and Howard Keel Four Daughters -- John Garfield and Priscilla Lane Annie Get Your Gun --Howard Keel and Betty Hutton Singing In The Rain ---Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds The Unsinkable Molly Brown ---Debbie Reynolds and harve Presnell Tammy and the Bachlor ---Debbie Reynolds and Leslie Neilsen and my favorite scary one: Attack of the 50 foot Woman! and this is just a start I have these and many, many more. -------------------- "The man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing is the King, of the whole wide world." |

There is some of your selection I do know. You can't beat old full screen black and white films.
Here is some of my favourites; The Wings of Eagles How The West Was Won Strategic Air Command Each Dawn I Die Friendly Persuasion These are some I would like on DVD. -------------------- Frank

There are only about 10 in that last that i would say i even liked. (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/whistling.gif)
NOT a fan of B/W movies...( with the exception of Laurel & Hardy and a few others )...would much prefer to watch more modern movies. Would also depend on what you would define as a "classic". Surely thats down to everyones own opinions.. (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/undecided.gif) -------------------- |

speaking of casablanca - which i like a lot but wouldn't rank it first place .....
i collected for a friend, who likes the song 'as time goes by', more than 100 different versions of it. plenty of artists recorded it whom i never even had heard the names of before. anyway, interesting to listen. still in the process of sorting them, though. BTW, north by northwest on rank 81 ... would have placed that one MUCH higher! hugs, ellie -------------------- i don't suffer from insanity - i enjoy every minute of it

Any Cary Grant film I love, my all time favourite actor with North By NorthWest being my favourite of his. Father Goose, Mr Blanding's Builds His Dream Home, The Bishop's Wife .... marvellous stuff.
Was never a fan of Bogart and have never watced Casablanca all the way through. I do love Abbott and Costello but classic comedy wise I think Peter Sellers in "The Party" is hard to beat, gives me asthma everytime I watch it I laugh so hard!! -------------------- |
