Heres lookin at you kid
So, i was watching Casablanca last night and was thinking, does anyone else really enjoy old movies.
im in broadcasting so i can appreciate old films for the technique and the story, back when black and white was hot and directors were constantly doing new stuff. A little fact, filming in black and white now, is far more expensive than color. pretty crazy.
Personally, im a big film noir fan, some of my favs are:
The man who cheated himself
The hitchhiker
Detour
D.O.A.
Other oldies:
Citizen Kane
Casablanca
The maltese Falcon
Vanishing point
so list some of your favs. they dont have to be super old, but preferably before you were born just for a relative rule.

speaking of slient movies have you ever seen the great train robbery?
it was made in 1903 and was pretty revolutionary for editing stuff and the way it was directed. its also only 12 min but the ending always scared the crap out of people back then.
you can watch it (or download) for free and legally from the library of congress website here: http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/papr:@filreq%28@field%28NUMBER+@band%28edmp+2443s3%29%29+@field%28COLLID+edison%29%29
its worth your 12 min though the video size seems to be super small 
thanks a lot library of congress
