miscellaneous monday

miscellaneous monday at the whimsey project. our day to share stuff we don't share the rest of the week.  what say you on the topic of miscellaneous?

the turner classic movie channel plays often at mom's house. at my house as well, i must say. one aspect regarding viewing the old movies reveals the various styles of acting across time. the movies with sound that first followed silent films still contain many of the overly dramatic body movements and facial expressions. sometimes, watching those movies now, provokes laughter where none was intended. later, movies seem to have been influenced by stage acting. most of the movie entirely the same except on film instead of live. those are movies i enjoy as one can "watch" the entire movie without even looking at the screen. it's all in the dialogue. story time! do you have a favorite old movie? what is it? and why do you like it?
