Classic Novels Collection
Posted in Posters on 03/04/2009 06:18 am by admin
What are the most “classic” American movies (like The Wizard of Oz, Miracle on 34th Street)?
I’ve lived abroad for most of my life but I’m going to move back to the US when I’m old enough. Until then I’m planning on catching up with all the popular culture stuff, I never really got to watch the classics. I also want to listen to ebooks, does anyone have any recommendations? I’m already reading Virginia Woolf novels and her short story collection, I’ve read Sylvia Plath and I’m reading The Shining right now.
Miracle on 34th street is one, right? I want to be as up to date with old pop culture references as possible.
It’s a Wonderful Life
Gone With the Wind
West Side Story
The Big Sleep
Citizen Kane
Casablanca (the MOST classic)
A Star Is Born (the one with Judy Garland)
Singin’ In the Rain
Top Hat
Alot of these are musicals because during the 40′s and 50′s, musicals were a big craze.
oh, and to answer your question i believe its “Miracle on 42nd street” thats the classic. could be wrong.

Mickey’s House of Mouse – Villains [VHS] $6.95 If you think a gaggle of big-screen goons like Cruella, Jafar, and Captain Hook can muscle Mickey off Disney’s House of Mouse stage, guess again.

Jaws (Two-Disc 30th Anniversary Edition) $11.86 In the vastly overrated 1998 book Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, author Peter Biskind puts the blame for Hollywood’s blockbuster mentality at least partially on Steven Spielberg’s box-office success with this adaptation of Peter Benchley’s bestselling novel.
