Your favorite classic movies

[mommy2boys]

I have been watching too much tv lately and am trying to stop. Dh works nights so I find myself watching tv after the kids are in bed.
Lately I am have rewatching some of my favorite classics and thought I would see what all you liked so I can rent some other ones.

My favorites
The sound of music, watched this yesterday it gets better every time
Breakfast at Tiffanys or just about any Audrey heburn movie
Gigi one of my all time favorites
Yours mine and ours
I also love old Alfred Hitchcock movies

Ok I want to know what classics are your favorites.

An American in Paris (anything with Gene Kelly is a winner)
Hud (Paul Newman is big in this house, DS's name is from Cool Hand Luke)
Baby and Philidelphia Story (love Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant, even better together)
It's a Wonderful Life (I have to watch it every Christmas)

[aisling]

I never get tired of White Christmas or Swiss Family Robinson (can I please live in tree like that!?).

I also Seven Brides for Seven Brothers! :

I love seven brides for seven brothers I went and saw the play.

Too many to choose just a few!

Zerkalo, Andrei Tarkovsky
Ivan's Childhood, Tarkovsky
A Child Is Waiting, Cassavetes (and most of his stuff)
Every film by Ozu -- Tokyo Monogatori, Soshun, etc.
The Servant, Joseph Losey
Rocco e i suoi fratelli, Visconti (very close to my own experiences in Italy)
Death in Venice and Gattopardo, Visconti
Riso amaro (Bitter Rice), de Santis (I love la Magnani!)
For pure entertainment, I have a terrible weakness for Capra -- I've seen all his films several times each -- and Howard Hawks (Only Angels Have Wings; His Girl Friday).The Shop Around the Corner, Ernst Lubitsch, too.
Kubrick's Lolita.

I could just go on an on and on.

[1xmom]

Kitty Foyle

A Patch of Blue
Imitation of Life
Any Doris Day and Cary Grant

[girlzmommy00]

I really love the original Sabrina with Audrey Hepburn (I know it was redone in the 90's, not bad but not the same). This is more of a fluff movie but I like Yours, Mine & Ours. The one with Lucille Ball and they have 19 kids.

I also like:
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
Casablanca
Easter Parade

My absolue favorite is On The Waterfront. Could watch it over and over again, and have.

Oh, same for To Kill A Mockingbird.

Rashomon
A Face In The Crowd
The Heiress
A Night At The Opera
