Have you checked your local library? Mine carries tons of these, though most of them are on VHS. Then again, if you mean to get young people to see them…this is probably not that helpful, unless they’re actively seeking them out. (I have all the Fred and Ginger movies and I’m 23…) I got my college roommate into old musicals and she got me into old film noir that she was studying in her film classes. So don’t lose hope in us yet!

I’ve not lost hope! 😃

But I do sort of mean that if something’s on regular TV, people are more likely to watch and to be intrigued than if they have to go to the trouble of joining Netflix (which we looked into and decided not to do) or sloggin’ to the library to take out a DVD.
 
try your public library, ours has a great selection of old movies.

Good point. I think that guy that used to introduce the films on Turner (gentlemanly-looking guy with white hair :o ) may have played a role in my interest in old films. Not sure how else I would’ve gotten into them. Network TV is pretty bad, but that’s another thread that’s been beaten to a pulp already. I always just rented them when I was younger. There are also film archives online with lots of weird, obscure stuff. My dad still tries to get me into Patton and those older war movies. Unless Patton straps on some tap shoes and starts twirling around, he can keep it!

I just purchased Dr Zhivago on a 3 pack at Wally World.

but I remember my mom had said Dr Zhivago was a must watch, so I finally will. Now I have it.

With Pia Zadora! can’t forget that

😛

The Mexican Santa Claus movie was pretty good too. “Lupita, nooooo!”
 
I love old Shirley Temple movies. I can only rent them through Blockbuster’s Total Access Rental service (the local blockbuster stores don’t seem to think they should have those movies for rental IN STORE). I own “The Littlest Rebel”, “Dimples” and “Bright Eyes”. I own Rebel and Dimples because Rebel was on a “long wait” for rental & Dimples wasn’t even available for rental.

They don’t make movies like Shirley Temple ones anymore.

Funny, I just posted a link to that movie from the public archives somewhere on here. I haven’t seen the MST version of it, yet, though. Perhaps I need to add it to my Netflix.

Another ‘old movie’ addict here. My especial favorites are those from the 1930’s and 1940’s, though I also like many silent films and some films from the 1950’s through the 1980’s. Here are my favorite oldies:

These Three

All About Eve

Bringing Up Baby

Now, Voyager

In Name Only

The Wizard of Oz

City Lights

The Little Foxes

Mildred Pierce

Stella Dallas

The Women

Harvey

Night Nurse

Beauty and the Beast(1946 French live-action version)

Nights of Cabiria

David Copperfield(the George Cukor version)

Random Harvest

Pride and Prejudice(the Greer Garson version)
