I am currently watching AFI’s 100 years 100 movies. I get goosebumps when certain films come one. I loved seeing Sullivan’s Travels and It Happened One Night. Goosebumps. I want to see the entire list, but these hours may take a while.
One thing about it, I’m sure it’s contreversial. How can you choose?!
I’m not a big fan of Clark Gable or Claudette Colbert, but in It Happened One Night, they do the funniest scene. It’s a classic and if you’ve seen this movie or know anything about the screwball comedy genre, you’ll know it — the hitchhiking scene.
Here it is in several screen shots.
Move number one. This shows independence. You don’t care if they stop or not. You’ve got money in your pocket.
Move number two. This means you have a brand new story about the farmer’s daughter.
Move number three. The pitiable one. Works better with a long face.
Try number one. Keep your eye on the thumb. How’s that work?
Not that good!
Give number three a go!
It don’t work either.
Here’s a new move!
This’ll stop ’em every time.
And of course this is a classic scene. It had me rolling on the floor. Besides Clark Gable in this scene is pretty much the inspiration for bugs bunny. He’s chewing on a carrot the whole time.
