I love old movies, especially the comedies - Bringing Up Baby, Gentlemen Prefer blondes, His Girl Friday, Philadelphia Story.

But, my absolute favorite is All About Eve.

Oh, and my favorite Christmas movie - White Christmas.

If you have Netflix there is a great "documentary" called A Conversation with Gregory Peck where he talks about a lot of his old movies and costars that you might like.

Those slap stick comedies you mentioned are all on my top 20 movies! CK Dexter Haven!!!!!

I saw "To Sir with Love" as a 12 year old - with Sidney Poiter (not spelled right) and just loved it. Cried my eyes out. And still love Lulu singing the theme song.

and remember seeing "The Birds" on a dark and stormy night with my mum - and something scratched the window!!! Pretty sure it was a bush, but screamed my head off anyway.....

Any of the old Vincent Price films! House of Wax still terrifies me today!

I don't think Vincent Price was in that one. We are talking Paris Hilton and Jared Padelecki here, right?

The original House of Wax was in 1953 with Mr. Price and a creepy Charles Buschinsky(Bronson)

I used to love watching old films. My first tv was a B+W portable, so it made me feel better knowing I wasn't missing out when the film was in B+W anyway.

But all I can think of now is Bauhaus and their Bela Lugosi's Dead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXJ-lSz1rfo

Very cute dog

Is a fan it is difficult for me to pick an all time favourite so I will go with
A doctor, scientist, organist, and biblical scholar, Anton Phibes, seeks revenge on the nine doctors he considers responsible for his wife's death.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Abominable_Dr._Phibes (and Virginia North as Vulnavia is possibly the most beautiful women I have seen on screen)

I am a fan of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee and then Vincent Price (difficult to say who gave the best reading of the Raven – him or James earl Jones – let me see
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXU3RfB7308
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7zR3IDEHrM (we seem to have a winner)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb-hwaKWx7I (Chris Lee has one too I just discovered today)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnNSnJbjdws I love you hehe – but this ties in Cushing Jones…then Lee who were all in star wars New hope – lee being in the remake/reboot garbage – but he was excellent....And Peter Cushing wore slippers for the whole part in a new hope

In the UK 30-40 years ago we usually had the double billing of films on BBC2 on a Saturday, possibly Friday night)

Hammer (ITV series) the house that bled blood gave me nightmares for years http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0220543/ - i would hav been 10-11 when i watched it ffs muuuuuuum

I much prefer Theatre of Blood to Doctor Phibes, myself: it's pretty much the same film only a lot less camp.
(If I was to pick out just one Price as his best, it'd probably be that, but there's several of the Corman Poes that are almost as good.)

RS, what is your opinion of production firms like Troma Films? Or the early Rob Zombie and Romero stuff? Which more modern genre would you say is comparable to those 30s and 40s classics.

Although not a huge fan of these old classics in general I'd separate films like Nosferatu that really tried to impart a sense of absolute doom and gloom and more hollywoodesque calssics like Frankestein.

By the way...has anyone had the guts to watch Eraserhead completely? I love the whole cinematography and lighting aspect of the film but it just freaks me out so much. Feels like quite a timeless classic anyway. Comparable to Nosferatu.

Here is an other favourite of mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxJSGMK9yRE The passion of Jean d Arc.
Not quite a horror, perhaps a thriller but the last scene is quite horrendous. It also deal with the horrors of the psyche.

No I Have not. Is it this film? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Devils_(film)
Seems a tadd more brutish than Jean D'Arc! Not sure I would be able to handle it.
Why do you think they are similar?

edit: Reading a bit about the plot I see what you mean. Still, I can't really cope with Sado 120 or Eraserhead as I mentioned, how does it compare in brutality or psychological terror?

It's rather more camp than Witchfinder General (this is a Ken Russell film, after all), but yeah there's some very brutal and unpleasant interrogation scenes in there towards the end. If that's a problem, better not go there.

(And I did compare the two over the whole religion and insanity in medieval France thing, but at least I didn't mention The Brotherhood of the Wolf...)

I might check it out some day and see if the content merits the violence.

The collective psychosis that was enforced by the church during this time is a fascinating but well overused subject that we now know a lot about but that seems to have changed us very little.

I wonder how a person must feel inside to watch a burning of a tied, live human being (though most of them were supposedly speared first if they confessed?). There's no sport in it as it would be for the pyschopath hunting down his or her victims (or the "sport" of a gladiator fight or a bull fight) and supposedly most of us aren't suffering from an anti social personality disorder. But it is the same thing that escapes me about peoples fixation with let's say the TV series Dexter.

Maybe it was just morbid curiosity back then and now.

I think the audiences were mostly coerced, rather than attending for any other reason. Back then if you failed to show your face at an auto da fe, you'd probably earn yourself a role in the next one as an opponent of the church. Think of it as a way that people could be easily bullied into complicity with the Inquisition's set up.

A good point. Especially at the height of the hysteria in some of the worst hotspots. But I'll take it with a grain of salt considering I've never seen it explicitly mentioned.
