Billy Wilder if one of my favorite directors, I have seen almost all his films. This by far is my fav (except for Stalag17 of course).

I spent weeks trying to make cigarrette holders with paperchips after I saw it for the first time.

A must see!

Im also a fan of Leave her to Heaven, and probably any musical.

a few of my favorites...
 

Since I was a little girl, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) with Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe is one of my all-time favorite movies.

It Happened One Night (1934) with Clark Gable & Claudette Colbert is one of my all-time favorite romantic comedies.

Don't like Marilyn Monroe at all. I think she sucked as an actress. Just my .02.

Well, I always wanted to be Jane Russell in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes :)

I didn't like Monroe's Bus Stop (her accent is sooo annoying to me in that film) or a few others; but I don't think she was that bad in some of her films... I do understand, though, how some people think of her as more of an iconic figure than an actress :-)

man, i wanna do movie night with you. i'll make the popcorn. :) can we toss in It's a Wonderful Life?

This is one of my favorite movies too. I love the simplicity of it.
Patty McCormick did the stage version, and they rushed to make the movie before she got too old for the role.

Had a Stanwyck marathon last night.

Witness to Murder
Crime of Passion
Jeopardy

I'm a fan of black and white photography and there have been great pictures shot with the intensity of black and white. One of my favorite scenes is a close up from A Place In the Sun directed by George Stevens (Best Director) and William Mellor (Best Cinematography) black and white. No doubt considering the power mix of actors and shots dominate the movie...

One of my faves is Imitation of Life with Lana Turner. It is the consummate tear-jerker.
