How about your favorite lines/scenes from Classic movies. Now, “On the Waterfront”…there you go!
<<“I could have been a contender, I could have been somebody, instead of a bum which is what I am.”>>
Does the above sound like some people on T-Nation
If we can extend the “Classic” title to color, then one of my favorite woman is in the Godfather. Apollonia (Simonetta STEFANELLI) is the sicilian beauty Michael marries. Has to have one of the best set of breasts that I have ever seen.

Clash Of The Titans, Jason and the Argonauts, and Spartacus.
Oh, fuck, how did I overlook Clash of the Titans? It’s weird to see Burgess Meredith as anything but Mickey… but the Craken was a badass.[/quote]
Oh snap! Clash of the Titans is EPIC. Ok so question—who’s the greatest epic/cast of thousands actor of all time? My vote goes to Charleton Heston. Dude has so many epic roles it wasn’t even funny.
And in the epic vein, I’ve got to mention El Cid. Also
@Rainjack/Disney Crew. Yes, I have a huge crush on Jasmine. And I can think of at least 1 or 2 Disney films that WOULD make the “classic” category–Fantasia and Snow White. Made before the 70s, and they are amazing.
Rear Window scares the ever-loving piss out of me. . I think the only bad movie Hitchcock ever made was “the Birds”. It’s the only one I can laugh at. b/w is so amazing for horror—case in point, watch both versions of “House on Haunted Hill”. The b/w one is CREEPY. The other one is just jumpy.

Dragline: Did you ever eat fifty eggs?
Luke: Nobody ever eat fifty eggs.
Prisoner: Hey, Babalugats. We got a bet here.
Dragline: My boy says he can eat fifty eggs, he can eat fifty eggs.
Loudmouth Steve: Yeah, but in how long?
Luke: An hour.
Society Red: Well, I believe I’ll take part of that wager.

I mean…I guess it is kind of odd, weight lifter guy, is getting all worked up over Spartacus.

I just saw Chinatown with Jack Nicholson. That’s pretty classics I guess. I thought it was fantastic. Classic movies are more actor driven to tell the story. Kind of like theatre.
