Did you know if Freddie went to the cinema, or what was his favorites movies?
As far as I know, Freddie liked movies (not as much as ballet or opera) and his favourite movies were ones that starred Liz Taylor, Liza Minelli, etc. His absolute favourite was one from the 30's or 40's but I can't remember the title.
Thank you, God bless you, sweet dreams you lot of tarts, Good-bye!
As far as I know, he loved old black'n'white movies.
Did it mention his favourite film on the 2nd version of the Killer Queen video ? ... I have a sneaky suspicion when they mentioning everyones favourite drinks etc, it mentioned films too !

On the Killer Queen vid on Greatest Flix (like you said), it says it's Some Like It Hot. Then again, it also says Roger's birthday is the 20th of July.
Always thought I'd be something more..

the name of that movie is "metropolis"
for all of you who dont know wich movie im talking aboutl, you can see some footage on the "radio ga ga" video
freddie owned the rights of that movie
"I`m Just A Singer With A Song...How Can I Try to Right The Wrong"
He was also a huge fan of The Marx brothers.
He was granted permission to use the names of 2 of their movies for albums:
ANATO and its brother ADATR
He'd occasionally check out the theatres with Paul Ruebens. In '91, they both decided they'd done that enough, and moved on to other things.
"Ladies and gentlemen... I guess that takes in most of you..." Groucho Marx, 'A Night at the Opera'
There's a funny story in Jim Hutton's book about the two of them going to see Indiana Jones at a theater in New York City, and the reactions of some of the people therein.

Also, I think it said "Imitation of Life" was one of his favorites.
You don't have to be bigger. Just louder.
Plus he left the cinema in Munich when he realized that the "Neverending Story" was shown in German without subtitles in English. Very amusing :)
Feed the Phoenix :)
He didnt like Jaws or Star Wars. Hee Hee
just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be
I heard his favourite film was Debbie Does Dallas.
This can't end well.
I thought it was David Does Dallas. I had to laugh about the Neverending Story though. I thought for a moment he'd have sat down, saw the title come on and walked out in a huff saying "I don't have time for a neverending story - how the fuck do they expect to show this movie more than once?"

Some likes it hot.
Good taste, I love this one too :)
