name them!

i am trying to get in at least one good classic a week. someone mentioned some on the old board last time, Double Idemnity was one of them I remember, and I watched it last nite and liked it alot.

oh, and i saw The Third Man a few weeks ago and thought it was ok, since the stupid Netflix description pretty much gave it away! argh! i'm not reading those anymo'.

I like me some old movies, too.

3 things about 'the great escape'

1) Charles Bronson diggin' tunnels.

2) Steve McQueen drivin' motorcycles into things.

3) James Garner provin' empirically that he always was and always will be better than Steve McQueen.
