Truly old movies. It niggles me when I say that I love old movies and the other person responds that they love movies from the 90s. (1990s, not 1890s)<br /><br />Several years ago, the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth featured a Sunday afternoon series of silent films, complete with piano accompaniment. Once they showed "Greed", which was marvelous; another day was snippets of the oldest bits of film they could find. Some no longer than a few seconds. It was extremely interesting.<br /><br />Since I've never seen The Thief of Bagdad, I'll look for it and my husband and I will make an evening of it.<br /><br />Very nice post!Carlahttp://carlahoag.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723342246366700898.post-42138657821921590332019-03-25T19:34:37.946-04:002019-03-25T19:34:37.946-04:00I saw your blog title on someone else's blog, ...I saw your blog title on someone else's blog, and I just connected and had to stop by. You see...I used to write a classic film blog called "They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To." I abandoned the blog about 4 years ago, as writing about classic films had snuffed the joy out of watching them. But I love the films of yesteryear, and I don't think films of today can hold a candle to them.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />PattiPattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948766889057998160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723342246366700898.post-68935335705565466682019-03-12T19:03:42.609-04:002019-03-12T19:03:42.609-04:00I watched a PBS special about Dick Van Dyke over t...I watched a PBS special about Dick Van Dyke over the weekend. He said that he only made what was considered "family films" except for one, where he played a silent movie comedian.<br /><br />He had such respect for the comedians in those early films, that he jumped at the chance to act in it.Brenda@CoffeeTeaBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719695370857675146noreply@blogger.com
