Surely you mean you disagree with me on all of those except 4?

If not, you have some great taste girl...

Which 4 do you mean?

[amy030]

I wonder if our least favourite on my list is the same?

My Number 1 worst movie of all time is Dr Strangelove. I was forced to watch it for a class, otherwise I never would have. It was absolute agony.

I was going to say that I loved Dr Strangelove (or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb). I didn't understand it when I first saw it as I was fairly young.

I didn't understand it when I first saw it and I wasn't young. I think the 'bomb" refers to the movie and not the atom-splitter. Unfortunately the audience never stopped worrying.

[amber-eyed-girl]

Casablanca, To Have and Have Not, The Maltese Falcon, Key Largo

I have a soft spot for Bogie

He lived in the same street as my Grandma, she had some great stories about him as a guy, not an actor 🙂

[amber-eyed-girl]

and I'm glad you don't have Captain Blood or The Adventures of Robin Hood in there, love Errol Flynn 🙂

Yes, it probably would be Strangelove, I find it dreary and overrated.

Only saw it a few years ago. Unforgettable for the wrong reasons.

They had a lot to worry about at the time. Remember the Cuban missile crisis?

Anyway, that film has some good and interesting reveiws. They might help you to understand it better.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"In 1964, with the Cuban Missile Crisis fresh in viewers' minds, the Cold War at its frostiest, and the hydrogen bomb relatively new and frightening, Stanley Kubrick dared to make a film about what could happen if the wrong person pushed the wrong button -- and played the situation for laughs. Dr. Strangelove's jet-black satire (from a script by director Stanley Kubrick, Peter George, and Terry Southern) and a host of superb comic performances (including three from Peter Sellers) have kept the film fresh and entertaining, even as its issues have become (slightly) less timely.. . . .

LOL, I was hoping it wouldn't be those four!  While I really like the young Lauren Bacall as an icon, the movies she was in with Bogart didn't do it for me. I also dislike Ingrid Bergman and while the last five minutes of Casablanca is sheer old Hollywood perfection at its finest, it didn't save the rest of the picture for me. I would have much preferred to see that movie with Errol Flynn and Bette Davis.

I don't know if you caught my thread the other night for my 100 GREATEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME but The Adventures of Robin Hood was included. I have a thing for Flynn 😉 Actually, very few male movie stars of the 30's were unequivocal beauties - only Flynn and Robert Taylor - perhaps Tyrone Power too, although he didn't grease my breaks.

Actually, I'll repost my 100 GREATEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME thread - it'll be interesting to see how many you agree with me on that one.
