Default Classic Movies - Reviews and Discussion

I've been watching quite a few old movies that are considered by many to be classics. I love doing that and have done it for a long time. I suddenly had the idea of sharing quick-takes of these movies. And I do mean quick-takes. No lengthy analyses or anything.

It will be my own personal opinion, with a rating of 1-10. The rating will be strictly my level of enjoyment. Not a true reflection of artistic quality. The"review" will also often be slanted toward a how-does-it-measure-up-to-today's-movies.

(And just for the record...I may throw in a not-so-old-and-classic movie at any time. Sue me. I promise...the majority will be older classics.)

Obviously the ToTV gang is encouraged to contribute.

Well, here's the first one. The Lady Killers...yes...the 1955 version...

The Ladykillers (1955) - Rotten Tomatoes

Kinda cute with good some good characters...like Peter Sellers before he was Inspector Clouseau. But also very corny by today's standards. I will say this, I didn't suspect the direction the movie would take until the very end.

(Warning: I'm a pretty tough rater. So don't let the following relatively low rating keep you from giving it a try...heheh.)

PB Rating: 6/10
