Great classic movie clips

One of the reasons I love Spencer Tracy. Of course, you can't ignore Lionel Barrymore and Freddy Bartholomew, just a kid.

A small part of Captains Courageous (1937)

Post your favorite parts of your favorite old movies here.

Bette Davis, Glenn Ford, Peter Falk, Edward Everett Horton, Mickey Shaughnessy, and (my fave in this movie, though they're all great) Hope Lange.

Pocketful of Miracles (1961)

I fell in love with Gone With the Wind when it was first on network TV. I think it was at that time, I was probably around 15, even though I'd seen The Wizard of Oz since I was a kid, that I realized how in love with movies I was.

Kudos for the GWTW clip: only thing missing was the last line of the movie, which happens to be my usertitle.

Thanks D

This one is for Flint and his very own darling Pooka.

Wow. Screen tests for Gone With the Wind.

Of course, looking back, no one else could have played those parts. I just don't think the movie would have had the same magic. My grandpa thought Olivia DeHavilland was the most beautiful woman he had ever witnessed, mind and outer self, and he and my grandma named my mom Melanie.

The movie clips don't have to be completely old, if'n you were wanting criteria.

I just love Shirley McClaine in this role. Olympia Dukakis ain't bad either.

My all time #1 film - "Inherit the Wind", with Spencer Tracy and Fredrick March. I credit this film and the Heinlein novel "Stranger in a Strange Land" as being the two most significant influences on my worldview, spirituality and lifestyle.

fuck

Shawnee123 · 08-23-2009, 10:17 PM

@ spode: one of my favorites too. Good clip. I actually had a fairly conservative history teacher in HS who was still all about free thought, and he showed this movie. Great influence on me as well.

@ jim: well of course who doesn't love some Pulp Fiction?

Here's my inner bogan surfacing for a moment, pretending to be all arty.

Behold, the opening chase scene of Mad Max, marketed in USA as Road Warrior (the movie that made Mel Gibson famous, but don't hold that against it). To the degree that there is a "classic scene" of Australian cinema, I reckon this is it. Low budget, high impact.

The full scene is almost 10 minutes, but the first 1.50 makes a good sampler.

As far as I know Mad Max was released in America as Mad Max. It was badly dubbed on the assumption that Americans can't understand Australians. I waited to buy a copy until there was a release of the original Aussie dialog.

One of my favorites ...

The rhythm scene from Delicatessan, a real classic, despite its recent vintage.

right. I got the two disc re release of both movies. I saw Road Warrior before I saw Mad Max as a kid..... so it was like watching a prequel.
