Hello @pollyanna1052 Love your film choice great film.
Was on Talking Pictures the other month or so.
Apparently he did the stage production as well. Rex Harrison.
Written by Sir Noel Coward.
Good Matinee film to watch as they all were in The Fifties.
Colour was beginning to be used.
All these formats. Technicolour, Deluxe, Visionarama, Vistavision.
Reason I like them.. Not much good on a TV. Yet when I used to go to these film festivals.
Showing the classics all amazing and visual . Feel the surround sound.
Thanks for sharing.
Please take care.

@Adrian_Scope
Speaking of the Karate Kid, have you heard of or watched the Cobra Kai TV series? It is a really good TV show set with the original characters Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence. The First two episodes are free on YouTube.4 -

Hello @Philippa1961 Great film choice. When I was collecting used to go to Film Fairs in Manchester and London.
There is a Gone With The Wind Society. Who have an interest in everything about the film.
Fascinating and very interesting story behind the film.
Lots of myth,stories and problems around the whole production.
Worth a look on line.
Same with a lot of these Films from the Thirties and Forties.
Have collector clubs. Wizard of Oz is one as is Casablanca one I like.
Got everything. Romance, suspense a great sound track by Max Steiner.
Action, poignant words and lines.
Always watchable Bogie.
Have a pleasant day.
Take care.

not sure if it qualifies as a classic but, Throw Momma from the Train always makes me howl with laughter.my current favourite is Mel Gibsons film Apocalypto I've watched in about a dozen times in the last 6 months because it has sparked my obsession with pre- Columbian Meso-American history and culture2

I could really do with some film inspiration! What would you all recommend?

Hello @Chloe_Scope Amazes me nothing but rubbish tat on film front or anything healing, inspirational, joyous and wonderful.
To watch I remember the reasons I like Musicals the Fifties ones .
From MGM and other studios were you could lose yourself. Happy content toe tapping songs.
What does the TV channels put on War Films weekend.
I like for once to have and do look for the feel good films.
Depressing we need up lifting and healing media people.
Reason another one putting my Motown, Northern Soul funky music on.
Helps every day because Radio has every half hour up dates more anxiety.
Enough of me how are you more importantly.?
Please if your interested the old films comedy ones suggested not laugh out loud but amusing and tickle your chuckle muscles.
Talking Pictures do a lot of these, or maybe need to think creative.
Kitchen tonight make a meal for yourself can help if you so wish.
With ideas, recipes. .
Please take care keep safe and your in my prayers and thoughts.
