It's just as old as me, so that officially makes it ancient, apparently.  ;) I still haven't seen it, though--just parts of it. It's on my to-watch list.

Silver Streak's pretty darn good, too.  Another Wilder/Pryor pairing, and one that's not rated R



Never seen it.  

Is See No Evil Hear No Evil rated R?  That's sad.  My mom showed it to me when I was like 13.

My parents are funny like that.

My favorite movie of all time is On The Waterfront.  Everything about it is awesome.  Go and partake.

Brenna reminded me that I have, in fact, seen How To Steal A Million.  I'd just forgotten about it.  That was a good movie.

Awesome old movie with "how to" in its title: How to Murder Your Wife.

I'm a sucker for How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying--old musical that I watched first as a kid, and I've loved since.  Plus, it has a song praising groundhogs in it, so that seals the deal right there.

My highschool put on a dramatic production of that one. Pretty funny.

I'm a sucker for any Thin Man, Frank Capra, or Jimmy Stewart flick.

I was in a stage production of You Can't Take It with You, too.  I was the father.  I got a migraine the first night we went on, and I still performed.  It wasn't fun, but apparently the audience couldn't tell.

Watched Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn steam things up in Charade last night. Suavely funny and oh-so-classic. :D

I think that it has to do with the personality type.

Saw Harvey with Jimmy Stewart today.  Fell asleep several times because I haven't had much sleep, but enjoyed it none the less.
