After the movie Dark Shadows came out DH and I got the TV show that it was based on from netflix. I think we have watched about two years of a 1960's gothic soap opera, it is so campy but we can't stop watching it!

One of the pay channels (Starz, maybe?) has been playing Ghostbusters I/II a ton lately. I think we've watched one of the two at least once a week over the past few months.
We watched "Rear Window" again recently. I never get sick of that one; it's my favorite Hitchcock film. "North by Northwest" is a close second, and H's favorite--I think we'll watch it this weekend.
Nearly everyone except me seemed to get that "older" meant 80s/90s movies, not classics. Huh. My original answer was going to be Akira Kurosawa's Stray Dog (from 1949), but now it's Baby Boom. lol.

Yeah, I was getting ready to name a black and white horror film. But nevermind.
I watched Clue on Wednesday. It is my go-to when I am working on a project and need a movie that I don't have to pay tons of attention to. DH and I also watched the original Last House on the Left (1972) last weekend. It was super cheesy and surprisingly sexually graphic for an older movie. Then we realized that it was a Wes Craven.
We just watched Galaxy Quest on HBO. I'd never seen it before. It was *awesome*, especially if you were a Star Trek fan. The guy who plays Snape in Harry Potter is in it. I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would!
I watched the remastered edition of Wings, using the original score. It was good. The aerial stuff was pretty impressive. I'm trying to watch all best picture Oscar winners.

I LOVE Galaxy Quest! That and Clue and Ghostbusters came to the hospital with me when I had kid 1.
Chungking Express is the most recent film in entirety I've watched. Watched 1/2 of Gosford Park earlier this week.

Never Give Up! Never Surrender!
Ha, DH had me watch this, I'm not a big sci-fi person, but I did enjoy it.
Oh, and now that I think about it, I also watched Gaslight last weekend. I love that movie.
I love that movie as well--the version with Ingrid Bergman, right? I saw that it was playing on TCM and was sad I couldn't watch it.
The last not-playing-in-a-movie-theater or in red-box movie I watched was "Up". The last OLD movie was "Christmas in Connecticut" back around Christmastime.

Yes the one with Ingrid Bergman. Last fall I got to see "Angel Street", that's the play the movie is based on. It was a really good. One of our local theatres put it on and the actor that played the husband was so good at being evil, you just wanted to smack him
"You've Got Mail" was on TV one day this week when I was home sick. I caught the last half hour or so. Love Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan together.
The end of that movie makes me SO ANGRY. I always have to turn it off before it gets there. I realize it's irrational, but I don't care.
We always end up watching some random older movie on the weekends. H can't flip past Goodfellas without stopping to watch at least some of it, and I'm the same way with Overboard. (Which reminds me - he bought me the blu ray for my birthday, and it's still in the wrapper. I think i have a new plan for this weekend...)

Me too! Enraged. Oh you put me out of business and were a huge dick to me but it's ok now. What? I like everything else about it, but the ending makes no sense.

Oh my god, YES! "Oh hey, you ruined my life and have been lying to me for months, but that's ok." NO IT ISN'T! He's a douche! I could maybe have bought it if she told him to get lost when she found out, and then there was a "one year later" scene or something. But as it stands? Eff him. And his jerky, weird family.
