Classic Films That Stood The Test Of Time
Is there any bigger letdown than telling your child or even a friend about a movie that holds special memories to you and then hearing from them that they hated it? Shocked, you dig out the DVD that you haven’t watched in years hoping to see that you have been right all along, that the movie is indeed wonderful. Too often you find that they were the ones that were right. You old favorite just hasn’t stood up to time.
There are however the classics that do hold up. You put them in the DVD player and they are as perfect as you remember. I recently watched Some Like It Hot with my son. He had never seen the movie though the stars names were at least a bit familiar to him. He knew a bit about Marilyn Monroe and had at least heard of Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.
I am thrilled to say that this movie was a funny as I remembered it. Marilyn is still sexy and alluring while Curtis and Lemmon have fantastic interplay. Maybe it’s the gender bending part of the story that allows it to still have some relevance and to not feel totally dated despite its gangster era Chicago setting.
