I am a big fan of Classic Films. I also have my 2 teenage sons ( aged 14 and 16) watching these films as well. Its very important they understand and appreciate the classic films and not just watch modern, fast moving films.
2 of the films I can watch all the time include "On the Town" featuring the legendary Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra & Jules Munshin especially where they sing the song "New York, New York, Its a wonderful town"
What's ironic today is that most of these classic films are now being converted into musicals and shown in Theatres in London. I watched the musical version of On the Town recently. Its a fantastic deal that memories of the films and actors are being kept alive through these musicals and giving the millennials and Generation Z a taster of the classic films.
The second film is Spartacus featuring Kirk Douglas ( who celebrated his impressive 101st birthday recently on the 9th December) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk_Douglas
Both are Must -See films.
Thank you! I've never seen on the town, but now that you've told me about it, I'll try and see it soon. I love old films, funny, the older I get the more I appreciate the classics. I don't have time or go to the cinema much these days anymore, both out of lack of time and there's nothing really appealing on anymore.
I love the theatre. I saw quite a few shows in London, but none that were based on classics. I did see the Ratpack quite a few years back and also a show about Buddy Holly.
Fantastic - you are going to love it. Its an awesome film
