Greer Garson. Seems that she is a lovely lady and a great actress. The only movies I've seen from her are "Random Harvest" and "Mrs. Miniver". I liked them. Fell asleep watching "Julius Caesar" so I couldn't tell (I was sleepy that day).
Bob Hope. Because everyone is talking about him these days and I just have seen him in "I love Lucy".
Orson Welles. I loved him in "The third man" & "The long hot summer". Saw "Citizen Kane" and it was good. I know he was a very creative guy. But for some reason I avoid movies starring him. Maybe because some of his movies were too dark and depressing ("Touch of Evil" and my-god-that-obscure-film "The process"). He was darkish even as a guest in "I love Lucy".
Hedy Lamarr: I've read tons about her beauty AND brains. "Comrade X" is the only movie I saw from her. Any recommendation?
Stars from silent films. Soundless movies give me the creeps. Someday I'm gonna develop that point. Saw "It", it was good, but silent. Etc.
I havent seen much of the stars you mentioned however silent movie wise, Marion Davies and Charlie Chaplin are 2 of my favorites. I havent seen many silents so Im no expert, but I love Marion's personality in all of her films and Chaplin is just fun to watch. I can see how you find them creepy, but maybe by starting with the more comedic ones, it will give a better impression.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Lexie. Yeah, I should watch silent comedies first, I'm gonna search for some starring Marion :) Maybe "Not so dumb" or "Quality street"?
ReplyDeleteIf you're interested in marion davies' films I would recommend show people! It's a lot of fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI havent seen either of the two you mentioned, but I agree with Meredith, Show People is a great one. Another one I liked was The Patsy, her character was so cute and quirky. The film Wings with Clara Bow was also recommended to me before, but I have yet to see it.
ReplyDeleteClara if you get a chance watch the original Pride and Prejudice! It's my favorite Greer Garson film with a great cast and a dashing Laurence Olivier.
