Memory Lane of Movies
Filed Under Insurance
A romantic comedy film where the romance among the lead actors starts naturally, then at the middle, one or even the both of them experience heartbreak but they manage to reconcile and have a wonderful relationship together…. A suspense thriller movie that shows how the lead actress/actor survives a brutal murder after his/her friends get all killed….
“Heck, movies these days have patterns and predictable outcomes.” You think about this idea while you watch how Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore develop a romantic bond between them. And then you recall the old movies back in your time…. You just can’t help but compare the films from two different generations. You think, “Those old movies…. if they were just shown today….”
Since you are flooded with modern Hollywood films and celebrity gossips, let me give you a break from them by bringing you into the memory lane of classic films that once hit the box office.
The Ten Commandments – Yul Bryner and Charlton Heston are quite befitting to depict Ramses and Moses in this 1956 film The Ten Commandments. This classic portrays how Moses lived in a world of prestige and glamor that he eventually left behind to follow his calling as the leader who would free the slaves in the hands of Ramses. And this went on until he received the Ten Commandments from God. Combined with the beauty of Anne Baxter, the film also showcases a passionate romance as she plays the role of Nefertari.
Casablanca – The memory lane brings us to 1942. Considered as “the greatest love story of all time,” Casablanca is a love triangle amidst the Second World War. Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henreid are the actors here, who were trapped in a whirlwind romance. Their romantic chaos is a mixture of happiness, guilt, heartbreak, betrayal, and passion.
The Sound of Music – The year is 1965. A fun musical film starring Julie Andrews as Maria. Her angelic voice never fails to leave the audience in awe, especially when she adds her great acting skills to her superb singing flair. This family-friendly film shows how Maria kept the von Trapp family happy with her cheerful and warm personality, and later how she and Captain George von Trapp fell in love.
The Wizard of Oz - “Follow the yellow-bricked road” and you’ll find The Wizard of Oz. It’s a classic movie that the young ones and the young at heart will surely enjoy. Mixed with music, humor, and profound lessons, the adventures of Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, and Toto are all-time favorite.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s – Who wouldn’t fall in love with the timeless beauty of Audrey Hepburn? Her innate sophistication and glamor shine in this film as she plays Holly, a socialite beauty who then meets Paul, played by George Peppard. It’s fun and romantic, with the elegance of Audrey and charisma of Geroge.
