Billy Wilder...

is fucking awesome. Go rent The Apartment and Sunset Blvd. Stop watching shitty movies, and see some fucking classics.

[FartinMowler]

Yep, old movies are fun... not easy to find but fun.

Just take the time out of your busy black eye relatives schedule and look

I rewatched The Apartment a couple of weeks ago. That movie is so much better than any other romantic comedy.

I also very much enjoyed One, Two, Three. Too bad it's not on DVD.

Catch it on TCM.

One, Two, Three is on DVD ( http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...v=glance&s=dvd ). What are you talking about? I thought it was good, yet fairly medicore. I suspect it was much funnier when it first came out. The actually pacing is quite hysterical though, since Cagney just rattles off line after line. It's insane.

My gf and I watch tons of Wilder, since he is her favourite director. I bought her a crazy Apartment poster, one of the UK Quad ones.

Stalag 17 is another classic, very funny and also with a touch of drama. That's when his films work best. Sunset Blvd. can be depressing in a way, but it's also hilarious on a level. Either way, his best films easily are some of the best films ever.

See, it wasn't out when I saw it. I admit I don't really keep up on DVDs.

some like it hot is one of my favourite movies ever.
also the cat on a hot tin roof, while we're into classics.

Some like it Hot is one of my all time favourites, too. I love The Apartment, and the Seven Year Itch as well

I agree that people should watch more classic movies (before 1970, at least!) It's so depressing that when I talk to most people my age they have no idea who someone like Jack Lemmon is unless I say Grumpy Old Men
