Powell on December 02, 2019, 08:39:56 AM There's no movie everybody loves. (We even have people here who dislike THE WIZARD OF OZ!)
For SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, I'd need to start a thread called "Movies you thing are pretty good but so incredibly overrated that you get annoyed by people constantly proclaiming its Greatness."

Title: Re: MOVIES you LOVE everybody else LOVES Post by: RCMerchant on December 05, 2019, 11:10:13 AM Yeah a movie with a child killer you end up feeling bad for? That messes with your emotions.
Now KING KONG (1933)? Yeah. Nobody said KING KONG yet... but yeah. the 1933 version of Kong-if someone don't like that ("oh-it's in black and white", " it's old.") are just plain ignorant.

I agree it was about time somebody mentioned KING KONG. I just watched it not too long ago. It never gets old, just better. But, taste is in everybody's mouth, and maybe someone somewhere... What about the ALISTAIR SIM A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1951)? Does everybody love it? It's definitely a favorite of mine. I love it. http://youtu.be/a_FLHkHNaHI (http://youtu.be/a_FLHkHNaHI) Title: Re: MOVIES you LOVE everybody else LOVES Post by: RCMerchant on December 05, 2019, 01:22:32 PM ^ That's the best Christmas movie of all time.That last ghost- who points at the grave-DAM!

ALICE IN WONDERLAND 1951 is fantastic! The only Disney animation I think is greater would be PINOCCHIO (1940). HEAVEN CAN WAIT (1943... with DON AMECHE?) Love it! ON BORROWED TIME (1939) is shown on TCM once in awhile - CEDRIC HARDWICKE LIONEL BARRYMORE - I like it, but don't "love" it. Really, it is a downer... I looked it up... "PeeWee" is the grandkid...
