2. Tough Question ......... There are so many!

I have always been crazy about Robert Mitchum. I think it's the bad boy image & that deep sexy voice.

Bogie & Bergman in "Casablanca," of course.

Lana Turner in "Madam X" & "Imatation Of Life."

Tracy & Hepburn in "Desk Set" & "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner"

Gregory Peck, what a great versitile actor. "To Kill A Mockingbird" is one of my all time favorites, but he was so good in so many others ..... "McArthur," "The Boys From Brazil," "Cape Fear"

I could go on & on ........ LOL

9. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is a terrible film

terrible film. Its main value is to shock racist audiences.

12. Are films from the 60's too recent to be considered "classic"?

I prefer a lot of foreign flicks too.
I really like Fellini's work, Truffaut also.
I loved Bridget Bardot then!
Catherine Denueve and Sophia Loren too.
Marcello Mastrioni-BTW, I'm sorry for not spelling these names right, Peter Sellers, Stanley Kubrick.
And let's not forget the guy behind "Candy"-Terry Southern.
