EASY. The original Universal horror films.
Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (1931), The Mummy (1932) ,The Invisible Man (1933), Werewolf of London (1935) and all the sequels. Love that old shit. And gotta give a nod to RKOs King Kong (1933). |

That was a ground breaking movie! With the advent of CGI, kids today can't appreciate what that movie was.

+1 on King Kong, an amazing movie, very atmospheric.
Winchester 73 Any of the Ma And Pa Kettle films but specially the one where they glow in the dark from the yuranium on their property. Scared Stiff AND Ghost Breakers!!! But the number one- No Time For Sargents.......When Andy Griffith Spits in the microphone and yells Hallo........HALLLOOOO........well, it's just priceless beyond words. And he weren't even in the infantry yet.

+1 on both. I think the older films had better writing because they couldn't lean as heavily on special effects. Sometimes the acting got a little cheesy, but sometimes not... as in 12 Angry Men. |

GWtW is a favorite of hers too.....I think she pretty much likes anything made before color TV came out. I mentioned GWtW, and then we had the Melanie vs. Scarlet discussion........ Tell me more about evil artsy theatre....... <--taking whatever advice he can get here..... |

First, GWTW is in color...and LOTS of it! Great balls of Fire! Melanie was a wuss...call me Scarlett any day. I could tell you...but then of course I'd have to kill you. Forget movies. Go see some live performance of Romeo and Juliet for God's sake! |

My favorite B&W dramas would include anything with Bogart, but especially The Maltese Falcon and Across The Pacific (with Lorre & Greenstreet in both of those) and The Big Sleep (Classic!)
Comedies? Bringing Up Baby, The Bachelor & the Bobbysoxer, It Happens Every Spring, and any Martin & Lewis movie |

I may have to go rent GWtW the next time I have some free TV time....I haven't seen it in almost a year. Melanies are hard to find nowadays. I guess they always have been.

Take my advice & do yourself a favor - buy the restored Anniversary DVD Box Set. Lots of really good extras in there for a GWTW devotee. (It's surprisingly inexpensive, too!)

there's an unsettling vincent price movie that was oddly fun I saw on late night tv a few years back. He wanders the past century country side as an executioner of accused witches.
Also the older frankenstein, where they chase him up to the windmill and it burns. I looked up the vincent price movie its known as witchfinder general www.dvdmaniacs.net/Reviews/U-Z/witchfinder_general.html "Those expecting the camp appeal or the tongue in cheek style horror movies that Price is oft times synonymous with may be surprised to find Witchfinder General contains some powerfully and disturbing interrogation scenes that are really nothing more than torture scenarios, some of which are quite gruesome. In the context of the film and its central titular character though, it makes sense that they be there and they do add a sense of dread to the film that it otherwise would not have had." |
