Classic Movies
When referring to classic movies, these are movies that were mainly produced in the mid twentieth century, a time sometimes referred to as the “golden years of Hollywood” thanks to the legends of cinema that dominated this time. Some names that herald from this era are Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Charlton Heston, Clark Gable, Gregory Peck, Alfred Hitchcock, Orsen Wells, Cecil B. De Mille and Mae West.
Movies produced during this period range in their styles, but this was an era known for its epic films. Movies such as Gone with the Wind (1939), Casablanca (1942) and Lawrence of Arabia (1962) were all produced during this time. While these are all epic dramas, the era is always renowned for its comedies including Gentle Prefer Blondes (1953) and its romances such as An Affair to Remember (1957).
Also falling into the classic movies category are the many historical films that were highly popular during the 1940’s, 1950’s and 1960’s. Many of these were different accounts of Christian and Roman history and were the grand epic films of the day, often recreating historical moments with massive sets and lavish scenery constructed, taking years for these movies to be completed. Some of the most renowned of this time include the Elizabeth Taylor opulent epic of Cleopatra (1963), the Stanley Kubrick classic Spartacus (1960), Charlton Heston in Ben Hur (1959) and George Stevens' The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965).
