Oooh, you've seen quite a lot of them. Good for you. If I'd known, I could have loaned you Some Like it Hot too...it's a hoot.
Very cool!
Oh I have only seen 9 on the list, so you have me beat! I thought it was 10 but the Tokyo Story they have listed is obviously the original version and I have only seen the newer one.
I need to start renting out some old movie classics I think!
Helen, I was thinking I might have seen Some Like it Hot, but I can't remember it, which one is it??
Lulu, they are selling the classics in bookstores for a few hundred yen, less than it costs to rent them (if, like me, you never get them back on time and always have to pay double)
Some Like it Hot is Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis playing two musicians who witness a murder. They then dress up like women and join an all-girl's band. Marilyn Monroe plays the singer of the band, Sugar Kane.
It's really funny, and definitely worth a look.
Thanks Helen, I have seen it, list duly edited!
Thanks for a great list..
I would definitely watch them all..
I came to know the names of really good old movies..
