Henry IV: “did the channel part for you my dear?”
Queen Eleanor: “no but it went flat when I asked it to I didn’t think to ask for more…”
Another good line:
Henry IV: “Elanor, why can’t you give me a little peace?”
Queen Eleanor: "Just a little? Why so modest? How about eternal peace, now there’s a thought.|
Another:
Henry IV: "I married out of love, a women out of legend…

Between 1900 and 1999 ?
I wish you had said 1930 to 1960 - to start off with.
Then another thread…etc…

Henry II not Henry IV - and he and Eleanor do have the most fantastic lines…
In real life they were all pretty much as nasty and conniving as portrayed in the movie.

Joan of Arc waited 489 years before being canonised.

Don’t know that I agree with this. Many black and white films have been made since the all-but-universal advent of color film stock. Several of Woody Allen’s films are in b & w, as well as many exploitation films of various unsavory types from the 1950’s and 1960’s. If one is looking for films appropriate for family viewing, using b & w as the criterion is probably not the best way to go.

Well, here at Contrary Answers Forums, you are free to disagree! But, with what are you disagreeing? Let’s uncover that first.po18guy:

Woody Allen? I think I saw one of his movies back in the early 70s. Too depressing. No, let’s pre-date him, to the classic era, when B&W was the only choice. Early to mid-last century.

Thanks for the clarification. I had a feeling you were making a correlation between the age of the film and it’s having been filmed in b & w, which is why I wanted to point out that b & w is no guarantee of acceptability or worth, since many b & w films were either exploitation (or ‘drive-in’) fare, or filmed after the lifting of the Code of the Hays Office.

Agree. Agree.
Movie was wonderful in it’s own apples to oranges way IMO.
The book was one of the best I ever read. Though partly because of the Chicago apartment I lived in on the old West side when I was 5 (in 1956). That neighborhood seemed SO like the Nolan’s Brooklyn apartment set earlier in the 1900s to me.

Not a very long wait, compared to Philomena who died 1533 years before she was canonized in 1837

I assume you’re referring to A Tree Grows In Brooklyn – such a wonderful story!
I loved the movie, so I got a copy of the book. I think they did a great job of taking the basic story from the novel and simplifying it for the movie – keeping the kids about the same age for the whole story, leaving out darker incidents like the man attacking young girls. The novel was way more realistic, but the movie is still a very sweet family story about overcoming obstacles.

I think Hitchcock is great and Psycho is a good movie, but I think the shower scene is overrated. The real horror is the son’s feelings for the dead mother. Reminded me of “A Rose for Emily.”
I actually prefer Hitchcock’s earlier movies, but he was always great.

I saw Charade with Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn.
That was a very fun film to watch. Her wardrobe through the entire film was lovely and so stylish. And Cary Grant.
he was in his late fifties and still quite a handsome man, especially at that time people still smoked and sun worshiped, and didn’t age very well.

I have a friend from Southern France. I used to live in Monaco. We recognized many of the places in that film. No, sorry, I’m thinking of To Catch a Thief! Well, I still agree about Cary. He was always handsome and polished. I love him in Arsenic and Old Lace. Isn’t he in Bringing Up Baby? That’s another movie I love. Love Katharine Hepburn!

“The African Queen”. I love the ending where Charlie asks to marry Rose just before they are to be hanged by the Germans, and the delay due to the brief wedding ceremony by the German captain is what saves their lives when their torpedo hits the German ship.

My top Hitchcock movie is his very last one,Family Plot. I never get tired of watching it. The comedy thriller is my favorite genre and in this picture Hitchcock achieves the perfect balance, I think, between the comedy and the thriller.
