Lovely Lunes

Hello there! I've been a tad forgetful to post anything recently, but I haven't forgotten to be consistent with my one weekly feature <3

Today's Lovely Thing is:

Old Movies





Recently, I've been craving old movies like chocolate. I just finished watching Nosferatu, a movie that was on my "To Watch" list for who knows how long. I'm so excited I got to see it, and I'm really surprised at how much I enjoyed it, even though it was a silent film! The acting was a little cheesy, but I like that about old movies. Everyone was super dramatic to make up for the lack of effects and budget. One of my favorite old movies of all time would be Some Like It Hot with Marilyn Monroe. I think its plot line is ten times better than the chick flicks we're given today, and watching how all the men simply drool over Marilyn strikes me to be hilarious.
Other old ones I love are: Pretty in Pink, The Haunting on Hill House, Casablanca, The Bishop's Wife, Holiday Inn, White Christmas, Sound of Music, The Haunting, Psycho, The Birds, The Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St. Louis, and The Canterbury Ghost.
Now we all know, I have a list fetish. And here's the Lovely Lunes Old Movie List of Movies I Want to Watch that are old:
  1. Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock)
  2. The Rear Window (Alfred Hitchcock again...)
  3. Dial M for Murder (Guess who directed this one...)
  4. Wasp Woman (Old B-Horror film)
  5. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (supposedly one of the best early horror films of all time)
  6. The Red Shoes (I have no idea what this is about, I just love red shoes.)
  7. Bonnie and Clyde (I love her style in this movie!)
  8. Dear Sir With Love (I love the actor in this movie, I can't spell his name right, though..)
  9. Flashdance (I own the shirt, I should see the movie.)
  10. Breakfast at Tiffany's (I hated My Fair Lady, so I wanted to give Hepburn another try)
And that, my dear friends, is the lovely Lunes thing of the week. Grab an old movie and watch it in my honor, will ya? Also, leave a comment of your favorite old films, I'd love to get some recommendations! :D
