Also The Great Dictator and Schindler s List.
Who is the better actor: Sly or Arnold?</font>
Sly has given some shit performances true, but he's proven before that he is a really good actor. Just watch First Blood or The Rocky films.
I refuse to pick. Both are awesome.
Arnold performs, Sly sometimes performs, but he can damn well act too. He wasn´t exactly competition for De Niro in Copland, but nevertheless he did a great job. Rhinestone, Rambo, Rocky, all examples of real acting.
Arnold on the other hand looks like a log opposite Jamie LeeCurtis in True Lies. He got better in recent years though..
Better Action Star: Tie
Better One Liners: Arnold.
Think Sly is the better actor.
Do you like to watch really old (< 1950) movies?</font>
one great reason would be that the movies were more story driven as they had no CGI to make stuff look better, different/etc.
Letters from Iwo Jima (ironic how Eastwood made this as a smaller companion piece to his highly touted "Flags of Our Fathers". Letters turned out to be the superior film and received all the nominations etc. It should have won best foreign language film,IMO)
Valkyrie ( Damned good intrigue. Actually rooting for the conspirators despite knowing it was going to end badly for them all.)
The Caine Mutiny (Loved Bogart and the rest of the cast)
The Great Escape (saw this when I was in middle school and was so blown away)
Tora Tora Tora! (very well done docu-drama released in 1970)
Midway enjoyable and well done with an all star cast in 1976
I always have, even as a kid growing up. A good movie is a good movie, no matter the decade in which it was made. And I get extra enjoyment out of seeing things from a different period or era. LOVE old films.
Refraining from naming about a gazillion now ... ;)
And, @OHMSS69 re your comment on the WWII films - yes, I think Letters from Iwo Jima was outstanding and should have won even more awards. One of Eastwood's very finest, if not the finest. I always recommend this film.
Citizen Kane
Duck Soup
And then there were none

Some of my favs
The Thin Man
Beau Geste
Mr Deeds goes to town
Bringing up Baby
Sgt York
Arsenic and Old Lace
Most anything with Humphrey Bogart or Clark Gable
As for horror I simply loved
The Wolf Man
Bride of Frankenstein
in regards to The Wolfman, the script succeeded where all subsequent werewolf films fail miserably: they made the werewold sympathetic and not just a mindless killing machine. The film has a booming soundtrack and is a work of art at just under eighty minutes.
How can I leave without paying homage to those great westerns of the 30's, 40's and 50's?
