old skool

i don't know what it is, but the past few weeks now i've been on a vintage movie kick. and no, i don't mean "vintage" like 10-20 yrs ago, i mean like movies my grandma would have watched when she was young. what i've come to realize is: 1) they just don't make movies like they used to, 2) women's singing voices are curiously different, 3) rodgers & hammerstein kick ass, and 4) audrey hepburn & judy garland are amazing.  my list thus far includes:

• my fair lady (1964) -- audrey hepburn, rex harrison
• south pacific (1958) -- mitzi gaynor, rossano brazzi
• casablanca (1942) -- humphrey bogart, ingrid bergman
• meet me in st. louis (1944) -- judy garland, margaret o'brien
• the king & i (1956) -- yul brynner, deborah kerr
• roman holiday (1953) -- audrey hepburn, gregory peck
• breakfast at tiffany's (1961) -- audrey hepburn, george peppard

and in the "coming up next" que:

• heidi (1937) -- shirley temple, jean hersholt
• gone with the wind (1939) -- clark gable, vivien leigh
• doctor doolittle (1967) -- rex harrison, samantha eggar
• chitty chitty bang bang (1968) -- dick van dyke, sally ann howes

ohhhh to have been born in a different era...
