    I have no time for jelloooooooo.... I am stuck in the studio and in serious painting pain... Art can be brutal.

    Hm...just for a split second I thought you were going to say you were stuck in some jello. Can't imagine why I'd think of that! LOL!
    FISH-O

    Jello actually isn't as colourful as my shirt at the moment... It is time to get back to work... the kiln has finished it's buisness. It will be cool in the morning and 40 more pots have my name on them... :)

    Fish Fry - you are so clever and so busy. Watched an episode of "The Singing Detective" (maybe you do not know of this where you are) last night really excellent and there is lots of old music throughout this series and last night Michael Gambon was singing Bing Crosby - but it was Bing's voice.

    Poppy3

    I'm not much of an old movie fan but, I did like (and do like) IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.......

    Interesting that you should mention that movie. A couple weeks ago I was trying to think of the name of that. I could remember the movie, but the name of it just wouldn't come to mind.

    I watch it at least three times every Christmas... Le' Weep.

    fjoel

    Romos,I love Grey Friars Bobby, bought a copy whislt there, it has been colourised prefer the old black and white.
    Poppy3

    ROMOS - I remember seeing the statue of Grey Friars Bobby when I was in Edinburgh - I think it was in Princes Street - did not know there was a film - maybe I did see it just can't remember - I will have to look it out.

    Harry Lillis Crosby... If he had stuck with that name would he have been so famous?


    Bing has quite the ring!

    ROMOS

    Lillis,Haaaahaaaardayhaha.

    Another not so old movie,  depending how old you are is King Creole, Elvis trying his hand a dramatic acting, the music and film are a classic.""

    I'm a big fan of my favourite old movie as you call it, even have a dvd in colour, The African Queen

    ROMOS

    If you ever visit Edinburgh you can visit the cemetery there, there,s a little statue of Bobby next to the grave, really touching.
    Poppy3

    bulletman "The African Queen" kinda arkish. My Dad love Bogie, James Cagney and Edward G. Robinson.lol

    I love old corny old movies.My fave is the ghost and Mrs Muir with Rex Harrison and Gene Tierney!!

    Shootah

    I remember that movie. Do you remember the television series that stemmed from the movie?
    FISH-O

    That was such a great movie.
    whovin

    One of my favorite ones to plus gene Tierney is one of the most beautiful actress of classic Hollywood

    I loved the old Ma and Pa Kettle movies, i would love to watch them again.

    JDB

    Ya those were good old movies once in a great while TCM will have Ma and Pa on but not to often

    MY FAVORITE FILM WAS AN OLD BLACK AND WHITE ,CALLED THE BAT.

    Pink Panther; "Do you have a rrim?" "Does your dog bite?"

    ROMOS

    Don,t forget the Meenkey..lol..KOTF.

    Hey fishy...you watched the movie 3 times and it posted 3 times?   Doo-doo...doo-doo...doo-doo ...eeeeeekkkkkk.....something strange is starting.....uh oh!!

    ROMOS

    Please say it aint so, say it aint so....
    Poppy3

    Yeah ROMOS - always on at Christmas - just can't how many times this movie has been seen - good film though I guess.

    Any old movies with Elizabeth Taylor!

    Poppy3

    yeah me too Ann. "The Last Time I Saw Paris" I feel a lesser known film, I have the DVD but not watched it yet. I could tell you more but everyone would find it boring.

    Nobody here heard of Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Trigger and Bullet ?  Now they were the good old movies. 

    hector5559

    How about Hop-along Casidy,???

    Not a movie, but wife had control of the remote yesterday and it was 4 hours of "I Love Lucy".

    fjoel

    Lucy is great.
    lewboy

    After 4 hours? i would be fed up of looking at the wife after 4 hours
    Flip

    @lewboy: Wife is only home on weekends so I try to let her have her time ... as well as I expect to have the tv when football is on. I found other things to do while Lucy was on.
    Poppy3

    Oh Flip - I love Lucy too. Well you get to see football.

    The Wizard of Oz, I like musicals.

    Put Jimmy Stewart on the screen and give me a humongous bowl of buttered popcorn. 

    dunc

    Harvey!
    Bob/PKB

    "Harvey" was my junior class play. Love the story and doubt anyone could be a better Elwood P. Dowd than J.S.

    Calamity Jane, Oh the dedwood stage is coming up over the hill da de da  da dadi dadi da da dooody dum da wip crack away I itchin to stay, set em up joe set em up joe set em up jooooooooo,

    White Heat ! You Dirty Rat.

    All of the above except watching them conflicts with akaqa

    I love them corny old movies, Clark Gable, Bing Crosby, all the beautiful starlets.  A movie called Valintino i just saw last year.  Fabulous!  About the life of the real Valintino.  I wish I had more time to look at more of them.

    FISH-O

    Me too!

    The last several year I've been getting into the silent era   I think Wings is one of my favorites made in 1927. But I do watch the newfangled talkies also. Silent films are hard to find, TCM is the only one I know of on TV that shows them from time to time.

    Poppy3

    Sileny movies - yes all pre 1930. Tonight I watched the Baftas and I am sure you know best Film "The Artist" - John Dujardin. No dialogue here.

    Monkey Business, starring the Marx Brothers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrncEzF9xLw

    YESSSS! Now you're talkin' funny stuff.The best!
