Old Movies
Is anyone else into old films? I have always had certain fave actors and actresses from the past that I was into, i.e. Vivien Leigh, Natalie Wood, Peter Sellers, Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, etc.....I have been watching TCM a lot lately and really getting into it. One area that I never thought would fascinate me is the silent era. I have only seen a few feature length silent films, but the ones I have seen have totally captivated me. I saw one called "Body and Soul" from 1925 that kept me up watching until 4 in the morning! Then I saw the first hour of "Metropolis" but I finally had to go to sleep, and I was so pissed about missing it I tracked it down on DVD and bought it on Ebay! Last night I watched one called "Mare Nostrum" from 1926 and once again was totally mesmerized.
I also love the old horror flicks from the 30s. Dracula will always be my fave but I saw a good one last night just before Mare Nostrum called The Raven, with Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff....very dark, very spooky! Just my thing!!!! I may be preppy soccer mom on the outside but I am all goth in the dungeon on the inside!!!!!
