Starting off

The beginning of a new year - what better time to start an adventure in writing? I would like to say first of all, I have always been a fan of classic movies - those from the 'golden age of hollywood' - which is typically centered around the year 1939. That year has been called the most prolific time of classic film production. Over the past 15 years or so, I have 'morphed' from being a fan to being somewhat of a student of classic films. When you start noticing things like the film nuances of certain directors, how well written many of those scripts were, and those unforgettable 'character' actors, you have attained a superior level of film education.

At this stage, I have seen quite a number of the very well known classic movies , some more than once. However, the wonderful thing about those old movies is that there were so many, many good ones - even those which are not well known - that, perhaps, you need to look harder for, but they are there. I have listed many of my favorite movies on my web page " Favorites" - see Carolyn's Cafe. To reflect on classic movies that I know I haven't seen as of yet, which would appear to be interesting, these come to mind:
> Talk of the Town
>A Letter to Three Wives
>Brief Encounter
>Made For Each Other
>The 39 Steps
>Quality Street
>It's Love I'm After
>Friendly Persuasion
>Separate Tables
>Once Upon a Honeymoon
>The Petrified Forest
>Of Human Bondage
>Lifeboat
>Laura
>East of Eden
>Ninotchka


As I get the chance to see these, and any other movies, I will discuss them.
