Oh, maybe Philadelphia Story? Good movie. Practically perfect cast anyway. Hepburn, Grant, and Stewart. Yes, it is a really good movie! I love old movies like that. 12 Angry Men and Inherit The Wind...wow...I wish they made more movies like this today. *sigh* They're just so powerful!  So is To Kill A Mocking Bird, although, admittedly, that WAS a book before a film.  But I thought it was really good too.
YES! Philadelphia Story! That's the one! I love that movie! Of the Hepburns, I like Audrey more. Kathryn is brilliant, but I've always favoured Audrey. Not sure why. Ha ha ha. _________________ "So what? So plenty!"

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner! Awesome! I love Sidney Portier.
I just watched Rear Window and Vertigo this weekend. Alfred Hitchcock is a genius. And they were Jimmy Stewart movies.  _________________ going on a journey through my old claims

I saw Inherit the Wind again recently. It has fantastic performances, I'm still not sure what the outcome was though....I don't think anyone really won. It's actually the only time I can say Gene Kelly was a good actor in a film - nope, I don't really like him, and he's not the best when it comes to acting that requires no singing or dancing (unlike Fred Astaire) but I've always liked him in this film.

Gene Kelly's best acting job, in my opinion, was Brigadoon. And yes, I agree with you in that his acting didn't really outshine most of his co-stars... but his dancing sure did. I've never seen Inherit the Wind though, I shall have to check it out soon.
Nurr: Yay Jimmy Stewert! I love both of those, especially the latter. In fact, Vertigo is what cured me of my childhood fear of heights.

Well my favourite song and dance man has to be Fred Astaire - I love his acting performances almost as much as he dancing. But my all time favourite at singing and dancing is Jimmy Cagney. In Yankee Doodle Dandy it's just magic, pure and simple. The film isn't the best, but when he's on screen the whole stage lights up. Absolutely fantastic performance, and I just wish he'd been in more singing and dancing roles, as he beat them all.
Top Ten Favourite Actors (no order)
1. Cary Grant
2. James Cagney
3. Spencer Tracy
4. James Stewart
5. Humphrey Bogart
6. Gregory Peck
7. John Wayne
8. Glenn Ford
9. Robert Mitchum
10. Fred Astaire

Gregory Peck! He is amazing. I looove him. Our English class is reading To Kill a Mockingbird, so every time I pick up the book I think of him as Atticus. He was good in the Guns of Navarone too.
I have to say I also love Paul Newman. He does good movies. Another Hitchcock one we watched, Torn Curtain, had him in it. Probably not my favorite Hitchcock, but still good. My favorite of his I've seen is DEFINITELY North by Northwest. I love that movie. And To Catch A Thief. I suppose because I love Cary Grant.
As far as I remember, I've only seen Gene Kelly in Singing in the Rain. I thought he was fair in that, but I loved Donald O'Conner more. _________________ going on a journey through my old claims

Gregory Peck is great. I got a DVD box set of his for Christmas.
I really love Hitchcock films....but his later films are a love-hate thing with me. I ADORE his early British-cast films - the 39 Steps, the Lady Vanishes, Rebecca etc, and I love his earlier American films, Shadow of a Doubt, Notorious, Suspicion....and I love Rear Window....but after that...I can't get excited.
Dial M for Murder and The Man Who Knew Too Much are Ok.....I was really, really disappointed with North by Northwest, a) because it was Hitch and b) because it had Cary in it. I've watched it a few times now, hoping I'll like it, but I never have. And I feel bad for not liking it because it has everything that should make me like it. To Catch and Thief (not helped by Grace Kelly) was another dud along with the Birds, Pyscho and Vertigo. And they have everything I like...but for me they just don't work. Up until I saw the last four I mentioned, Hitch's films had a great track record with me...
I agree with you about O' Connor, he stole the show

Guns of Navarone...I haven't seen that in forever. I need to watch it again.
Woman of the Year --that's Katherine Hepburn, right? I think I've only seen that once. Need to see that again.
I love My Fair Lady! Though yes, I love Audrey Hepburn too.
I don't know if this would be a classic, but I watched it the other day and figure you guys might know of it--Thoroughly Modern Millie. I thought it was a good show, and it was so neat to see Julie Andrews in a lighter role! (well, I dunno if "lighter" is the right word but the fact that she wasn't the role model person or whatever...ah nevermind.)

OOooooh...Cary Grant. I could marry that man and cover him in kisses.
*cough*  *cough*
Did I just say that? XD
Ever since I was a wee lass, and I watched him in "Arsenic & Old Lace" on one Halloween night...I've been infatuated with the man. One, he IS devishily handsome...but he's just a BRILLIANT actor.
I also love him in "Bringing Up Baby" and "The Philedelphia Story" and "Monkey Buisness" was HYSTERICAL...and "To Catch A Theif"...one of my favs...and "Charade" was awesome. I just love him playing with Audrey Hepburn. She's brilliant, and so is he! 
And I didn't like the movie, "To Kill A Mockingbird" as much as the movie...but I thought Mr. Peck was fantastic in it.
ANYWAY...I initially decided to bump up this thread because I watched a movie on Turner Classic Movies the other day that just caught me by surprise.
It's called "The Trial". And it's directed by Orson Welles. It was a BRILLIANT film. But there was this guy...the star. His name was Anthony Perkins..and I honest to god fell head over heels for him. He's long since dead....but I forgot how old movies and old actors can do that to me. I mean, one of the most gorgeous men I've ever seen in my life. XD It was insane!

Ooo how come I didn't see this club before? I'd love to join! I love the old epic classics like "Gone with the Wind" and "Casablanca" or the comedies like "Some Like It Hot" or the amazing musicals like "The Wizard of Oz", "Singin' in the Rain", "An American in Paris", "On the Town", "Anchors Aweigh", "West Side Story" and "My Fair Lady".
My favorite [classic] actor is definitely Gene Kelly. Ah, he was so dashingly handsome _________________

Hurray! I don't feel awkward now! It was the weirdest experiences because I just couldn't take my eyes off of him. WEIRD. Ha ha ha!
Yeah, when I saw him I just KNEW I'd seen him somewhere before...and it took me a while to remember he was in "Psycho." I haven't seen that film in AGES. But I loved him in that too!
And hurray for lots of people loving "My Fair Lady".  One of my all time favourites! _________________ "So what? So plenty!"

Oh yeah, I love the old actors too. They had such charm and charisma back then. Hah, Cary Grant was incredible. I love his movies.
Ah, Anthony Perkins! I knew the name was familiar, I just looked him up on IMDB. I've seen him in Catch-22 and Murder on the Orient Express. I'm okay now.
So, I watched "Meet Me in St. Louis" last week with a films class. And I have to say (if you haven't seen it, this will make no sense) that I want someone to propose to me like the one guy did. He runs into the house at a random hour of the night, fortunately the family was awake. Then his points as his girlfriend and is like "I won't take this anymore! We're getting married as soon as possible!......I love you!" And he's pointing and shouting and the entire room about fell of their seats laughing. I thought it was great. _________________ going on a journey through my old claims
