Oldies

Saw four oldies that I recommend:

African Queen (1952) with Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn. Excellent acting. Drags a little but worth seeing. 3.5*
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) with Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman and Burl Ives. Again, excellent acting and great dialogue. I've decided Scarlett Johannson has Taylor's pouty lips. 4*
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967) with Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn and Sidney Poitier. Excellent acting, still relevant today. Apparently Tracy died about 10 days after completion. 3.5*
Big Chill (1983). Great cast including Glenn Close and Kevin Kline. Very introspective for 30-somethings at that time, great soundtrack. Saw this in the theatre (which is always better). 3*
