Your Favorite Classic Film

Apparently it wasn't shot there, but the main street of Wellsboro, PA looks EXACTLY like the main street of Bedford Falls!

Cool! I am going to go google images of Wellsboro, PA......

Bedford Falls:

Wellsboro:

It looks closer in real life. I wanted to run down the street yelling "Good morning, movie house! Good morning, Ol' Bailey Building and Loan!"

Haha!! Awww, and if I had been in that town when you did that, I would have come up and told you you were awesome!

Nosferatu- still an amazing film.
Grande Illusion- one of my favorite war movies as well.
Beauty and the Beast (Cocteau version)- haunting, beautiful, mesmerizing, nightmarish yet dream-like. Love this film.
Night of the Living Dead- need I say more....?
Throne of Blood- Kurosawa's masterful interpretation of Macbeth.
The Haunting- as close to perfect as a film can get.
Spider Baby- hadn't seen it in ages then saw it again after a friend's reccomendation. Insane, creepy, hilarious- in short, just plain awesome film.
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari- the precursor to film noir, horror, and one of the most influential films ever made.
Freaks- Browning's masterpiece. Still effective and disturbing.
M- "In the Hall fo the Mountain King" is far more resonant than the Psycho, Jaws or Exorcist themes.
Carnival of Souls- proves yet again how low budgets with creative approaches can create something far more horrific and timeless than many big productions. Remains a great film today.

.... it's impossible to narrow it down. There's far too many.

Theif. You're a theif. All the ones in red are the ones you stole directly from my mind.

Except I'll exchange your Nosferatu for Dracula, with Bela, like usual

I've seen them all except for Grand Illusion, Spider Baby, and Carnival of Souls, and would have to agree with you on all of the rest. In fact, I came in here to post about Caligari and M.

First Movie that popped into my head was The Seven Samurai---Akira Kurosawa.

The Adventures of Robin Hood (Erol Flynn)
...

Norman:"This man speaks treason"!

Robin Hood: "Fluently"!

One of the best movie quotes of all time. :yes:

Casablanca is my favorite, followed closely by Roman Holiday.
