Favorite film?

Recommended Posts

Yeah I like old movies. There's a place in Frederick (Weinberg Arts Center) that every once in awhile shows REALLY old movies: silent films from the '20s. It's the only place in the USA that has an originally installed Wurlitzer organ from that era. Even has the old 1920's gadgets for making sound effects!B|

But yeah, I like renting an old John Wayne or Humphrey Bogart movie now & then too. Bogart rules!!B|

hmmm Ok The Haunting. I will rent that. But its going to be a long, snowy day, so I'll need at least one more.


Hey, speaking of lesser known movies, here's another one, from 1980 or so: Ghost Story. pretty good horror film w/ a nice storyline.

more suggestions, please!:)

I've seen it. I used to watch scary movies all the time when i was a teenager. If you want a good recent scary one, i think 13 Ghosts is very cool.

Here's another cool foreign film: The Kingdom. It's really long, I think it might have been a two-part TV series. Its from Finland or Norway or something like that. Its about a large modern hospital which turns out to be HAUNTED!! Been described as "ER on acid!"B|

Intersting list. I could handle those:

How about:

The Bad Seed
Psycho
And any Marx Brothers film



Well, if you have the Marx brothers, then you have to see ANY Abbot & Costello movies too ;)
