20 Classic Actors Whose Movies I Want to See

[leosgreens]

Here is a list of some actors whose movies I have somehow never watched, not including cameos (Linda Darnell's as the Virgin Mary in The Song of Bernadette), or movies I have tried to watch but as yet have been unable to finish (Citizen Kane). Also there are some people whose movies have never watched, like Rock Hudson, that I am perfectly fine

Laura, LJ-cut Please! < lj - cut > before the post (without spaces) and < /lj - cut > after the post (without spaces).

Admittedly, I haven't seen many films by them, but I have at least seen a few things by them.

Grace Kelly

- You MUST watch Rear Window. It's THE most suspenseful movie EVER. Seriously. Tot and I could not sit down, we had to stand and pace, we were so wired watching it. I've also seen High Society. I WANT to watch The Swan, but it's a major bitch to find.

Fred Astaire

- The ones I've seen -- Top Hat, Silk Stockings, Finian's Rainbow -- I'd go with Top Hat.

Rita Hayworth (!?!?)

- Gilda and Cover Girl. I just can't believe you haven't seen Gilda!!!

Orson Welles

- I did finish Citizen Kane, but yeah, boooring.

Marlene Deitrich rubs me the wrong way, thus I haven't seen her movies deliberately. #5 (her) through #13, I've never seen their films.

Bing Crosby (You never saw any of the Hope/Crosby films? I grew up on those).

- Road to Singapore, Road to Zanzibar, Road to Morocco, Road to Utopia, and I'

LJ cut? I do not understand this language you are speaking!

All of your post -- all those images, the length of it -- should be behind a cut. Go to my lj. See the links that allow you to click on them, those are cuts. It's basically a link INSIDE your journal so that your friends list isn't loooooooooooooooong posts. General LJ netiquette is if you have big pictures, more than 2 pictures, more than 2 paragraphs, you put it behind a cut. Scroll through my flist ( here) until you get to your post. You'll see what I mean. :)

I'd like to do a friending meme on my lj that will include stuff about older movies/stars, etc. And you could probably get some other lj friends from that.

Here's the LJ FAQ on lj-cuts -- http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=75

Ok, will try this next time!

You should edit your post and do it now. Practice on this one.

[leosgreens]

I figured it out! YAY :)

[arabian]

Yay! You did. Woohoo!! :D :D

Also, it's funny because when I looked up Grace Kelly's movies and read about The Swan, I thought, "Dang! I want to watch that one!" My library has it on VHS but I don't have a VCR right now. It does have a lot of the other ones I need to watch, though.

Start with Rear Window. Definitely.

[leosgreens]

I've now seen Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, and I'm almost done with High Society, which takes care of Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby, I saw Shall We Dance with Fred Astaire (& Ginger Rogers), Touch of Evil with Orson Welles & Marlene Dietrich (but she's barely in it), I've got Unfaithfully Yours (Linda Darnell) to watch this weekend and I've got two Mifune movies on hold at the library

Rear Window is just AMAZING. The most suspenseful film I've ever seen, and I was salivating over Grace Kelly's wardrobe, LOL!
