[BIG BLUE]

I think its great to sit back feet up and watch an old black and white war film........just wondered if anyone else did or what films do you lot like?

Some of the best films made.The 40s/50s ones are superb.

I love old film. I collect vintage stuff - Lumiere Brothers, Mitchell and Kenyon and all that. Not so fond of 'movies' just the stuff they filmed of peoples' everyday lives.
Or the old GPO documentaries - which I now have all of.

And funny you should post this today because I just bookmarked this;

for future use an hour or so ago.

I also happily browse Movietone.com and British Pathe- could spend hours there - and do....

i love an old film in the afternoon - sometimes channel five have one on or film 4. I like particularly Blithe Spirit, The Quiet Man, plus any northern dramas, old westerns too - Cup of tea, home madecake Fire lit, children playing or snoozing quietly on the settee, It is a winter activity for me but mmmmmmmm Lovely.

A few miserable days have been cheered up by old films One really miserable day at a christmas I spent without the boys was made bearable by watching "A taste of Honey" not just a film but a slice of history, the docks, the stereotype of a gay man, Dora Bryants heels - fantastic.
