SUCH a great idea for a bar/lounge, you're right. (If someone ever opened a silent-film themed lounge I would have to MOVE IN there.)<br /><br />A buddy of mine recently got married and at her reception, she had It Happened One Night projected on the main wall during cocktails. Not a silent film, but the projection didn't have a soundtrack and the results, with all the dim twinkly lighting, was just magical!<br /><br />-Carley :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-11736993264158253072010-11-24T04:01:52.208-05:002010-11-24T04:01:52.208-05:00Maybe not quite "classic" in the sense o...Maybe not quite "classic" in the sense of most of the movies on this blog, but there is a bar not far from my house which, every single time I go there, has on the 1978 kung fu classic The 36th Chamber of Shaolin. I've been there enough times that I think I've seen the whole movie at this point, although never in one go . . . <br /><br />It's actually pretty good, and this coming from someone who isn't much for martial arts films. I might have to actually sit down and watch the whole thing one day.heatherhttp://sexandthecine.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-4822351458573790672010-11-23T19:48:34.291-05:002010-11-23T19:48:34.291-05:00Umm, Quelle, are you sure this bar and grill isn&#...Umm, Quelle, are you sure this bar and grill isn't located in The Twilight Zone...<br /><br />The strangest thing I think I ever saw was an Englishman in bowler and suit at our local WalMart--that's the last place I'd expect a John Steed lookalike!Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-86014798248167456622010-11-23T18:40:00.886-05:002010-11-23T18:40:00.886-05:00Danielle - Thanks for stopping by!

It's nice having a connection like that with a loved one, even if they are no longer here.<br /><br />Millie - !!!! Have you posted that story? That's an awesome post. You must post.

It was "The Gold Rush", wasn't it?<br /><br />My dad used to laugh himself sick over the scene with the shoelaces.<br /><br />Sounds like a fun place to me!<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-31743774166260357342010-11-23T16:19:40.447-05:002010-11-23T16:19:40.447-05:00This is super-funny, actually!

I think the ...This is super-funny, actually! Haha!<br /><br />I think the strangest place *I* ever saw a classic film being shown was in Sierra Leone. I was at this hotel (very nice in SL, condemned by the board of health here! ;-D) eating dinner and look over at the TV they had in the "bar" (an old beat-up, cracked TV) and TCM WAS PLAYING! <br /><br />I was so shocked. They were SOMEHOW getting TCM there (which is odd considering there isn't even any electricity in the entire country, it's all run off of generators)! It was right before Easter and one of those "epics" that probably starred Charlton Heston was on the screen. I'll never forget it!<br /><br />Great post! :-DMilliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08562702535170134885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-46195133253646421722010-11-23T13:07:20.878-05:002010-11-23T13:07:20.878-05:00This cracks me up!

Love it! <br /><br />And I Love love love Charlie Chaplin! I used to watch his old films with my grandpa when I went to visit. He's passed away since then, but even seeing that short clip brings things back. Thank you so much!The1stdaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701783270303914306noreply@blogger.com
