What classics did you see last week? (3 Dec to 9 Dec 2017)

Thanks, spiderwort. Y’know, it’s kinda funny what movies (and books, and television programs, and other forms of entertainment) leave a lasting impression on us. I’ll probably always have a good feeling about The Talk of the Town because I first watched it on a chilly night, with a fire in the hearth, on New Year’s (perhaps that’d work as well for Bat’s Christmas memories thread?)—or about The Big Noise because it was the first Laurel and Hardy movie I ever watched, with my grandfather, who loved the Boys. Now, these may or may not be particularly good movies, but the intersection of memory and emotion remains… Anyway, happy you enjoyed it, even if you can’t figure out why it once impressed you so much! I think you recommended it to me on the whodunits thread; I was happy to see it at last.
