The wizard of oz

As a kid I heard about Buster Keaton and later in life I was able to find one of his movies. The man was a genius. I can't remember the name of the movie but I do remember a few of the scenes. A house fell on top of him as he was walking away. The open window encased him exactly. Brilliantly done.

@hippyjoe1955 I think he did his own stunts as well.

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

@DallasCowboysFan Yeah I read the same thing. Everyone loves Charlie Chaplin. I prefer Buster Keaton. lol

@hippyjoe1955 Harold Lloyd was funny as well. Famous during his time, but not as well known now. CC was funny, but the man was a lifelong member of the communist party. He was prohibited from entering the U.S. for many years and was only allowed re-entry to receive an Oscar. I don't understand how someone could have spent so much time villanizing Hitler and still embrace communism. Same wine, different bottles.

Until recently, I had never seen Casablanca from beginning to end, if that is what you mean. As to all movies, I visited the Edison Museum in NJ and saw some movies from the earliest days of movies.

The Ten Commandments I mean come on I cant believe it was even in color back in Egypt 🤔🤪

Metropolis. With both old and new and awesome soundtrack.

smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F

I would guess Godzilla 1954

AndyH · M

The Wizard of Oz (1939)

smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F

@AndyH hard to believe that movie came out in 1939

thepreposterouspanda · 36-40, M

Metropolis

Metropolis - 1927 - It is a silent movie, in black and white. But, the story line is still relevant. Good props and imagery. It was progressive for 1927.

Birth of a Nation

bijouxbroussard · F

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP We were forced to watch that in school. The lay teacher leading the class thought it was “a classic” and Griffith was a “pioneer”. 🙄

ImperialAerosolKidFromEP · 46-50, M

@bijouxbroussard That must have been difficult. You didn't have the chance to opt-out? I heard disturbing things about Polanski's Macbeth and was allowed to skip it

bijouxbroussard · F

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP Not back then. I doubt anyone would dare show it in classes now, but back then “teachers knew best”. My mother said if she’d known they were going to show it she’d have kept me home that day. I was about 11.
