Cagney - very watchable actor. Both of the movies you mentioned are favorites. He had some range, too... witness Yankee Doodle Dandy.

I never got to find out my mom's favourite film, but my dad's is Apocalypse Now
Carla · 61-69, F
Mom was a stickler for musicals. Singing in the rain was one of her favorites.
My dad liked bond films.
They used to take us to the drive-in. I only remember "cleopatra". I ended up going to sleep in the rear window legde(remember those?)
The last film they saw together was "the graduade".

@Carla
You must've been tiny!
My sister, parents and I saw the early 1950s version of Samson and Delilah (at my fervent urging!) at a drive-in in cottage country (Ontario) in the 1960s. They hated it but I loved it when Samson brought down the temple LOL
How many time have YOU seen Woodstock???

That's quite a list of rich, intense viewing :D
Would you have liked to have seen Zero Mostel (from the 1964 Broadway cast of Fiddler) in the lead?

@SW-User well I completely misread the original post. I thought it asked for my parents’ favourite movies! I guess I need new glasses

I don't recall my parents ever mentioning movies. Or music. Or books. Or anything interesting. I learned at an early age to keep a careful distance from them.

Your dad's favorite is one of mine, too... the scene where Tibbs slaps the bigot in his own greenhouse being the most memorable.

@SW-User That’s one of the best scenes in the movie!
My dad grew up black in rural Mississippi. Born in 1914, he experienced Jim Crow and prejudice that was perhaps the worst in America. So I think that movie….seeing a well spoken…well dressed….assertive black man…stand up to the bigotry, really resonated.

Pretty soon all of the survivors of that era right up to the relatively recent 60s will be gone so we'll have to rely on the history books to... wait, what? The history books? One day it'll surely be what history books??

I’m not sure what either of theirs were. My dad really liked cowboy movies. My mom liked Filipino comedies.

There's a Gary Cooper/Walter Brennan movie from long ago called The Westerner. Your dad probably saw that. It's not your average western - Cooper was never more "Cooperish" and Brennan was at his best.

@SW-User I was just thinking about Bob Hope just now, that’s funny. As much as I love the cast we got for the movie- I think that would be an all star cast. Lucille Ball would probably take Ethel Mermen’s role.

Lucy would've been great in that role, too.
Ever watch Carol Burnett reruns? Harvey Korman plays a similar character named Mrs Marcus in a long-running skit called As The Stomach Turns.

I am Not kidding you - - - last night (out of the blue) I started saying "May the 4th" over and over again (in my head) until it came to me how significant that date was.

What helps is the bond Belushi and Aykroyd had in real life. As good a comic duo as there ever was.
