Watching Old Movies

As you probably know I am a huge movie junkie. My mom isn't really in to watching movies. I have been able to coax her in to watching an occasional movie with me. Most Saturday nights we watch Law and Order on Netflix. We went to the library and I checked out some DVDs to watch. I asked my mom if she wanted to watch Strangers on a Train with me. She agreed. We have watched a couple other black and white movies together. I have wanted to watch Strangers on a Train since I saw an episode of NCIS where DiNozzo talks about it. I of course mentioned it to my mom.

We watched it and it was a great movie. I admittedly was a little scared. We decided we would watch all the Hitchcock movies we could together. Aunt Clara from Bewitched is in it. So is Alfred Hitchcock's daughter, who I decided is a red head. For some reason both my mom and I were both laughing uncontrollably during the most intense scene in the movie. I couldn't stop. I was laughing so hard I was bawling. I also snorted a few times I am sure. I really needed to laugh and for some reason we picked the climax to do so.

After the movie, I turned on NCIS and it was the episode where they talk about Strangers on a Train. I thought that was pretty weird.

Do you like black and white movies? Have you seen Strangers on a Train? What did you think of it?

    I do not care for black and white movies or musicals. I think that's why Hubs married me. ;)

    I have a rule - don't watch movies that came out before I was born :)

    I took a film class about Hitchcock movies and since then I have been a fan.

    I prefer color movies, but there are some good black and white movies that I wouldn't mind watching.

    I have not seen strangers on a train - but I love old movies! I miss rainy Chicago days when I would watch them... now I live where it rarely rains. And I feel like I have no time to myself!

    I love black and white films, I can literally watch them for hours. My mom (whom I love dearly) introduced them to me at a very young age and I've been hooked every since.

    I don't think I've ever seen Strangers on a Train. I like Hitchcock but I am really into Twilight Zone!

    I've never seen it, but I do like black and white movies. However, I have to be in the mood for them.

    Netflix is my favorite go-to for older movies.

    I don't think I've watched Strangers on a Train, but I've heard of it. I really get into movies, too, especially black and white movies. I highly recommend Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, Splendor in the Grass, Pinky, Mildred Pierce, The Snake Pit (1948), and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

    I haven't seen that one. I have been watching old movies with my teens, and we just finished Casablanca and On the Waterfront. I will have to add this one to our list!

    Oh boy, the Hitchcock movies really give me the creeps,especially The Birds, because I am deathly afraid of birds.
