Please recommend some great old films

[MidsomerBurgers]

I watched Pretty Woman last week. Have downloaded The Imitation Game, Groundhog Day and Erin Brokowich(?).

What other oldies but goodies do I need to watch?

Pimpernel Smith is the Scarlet Pimpernel updated to Nazi Germany instead of Revolutionary France. Pimpernel Smith is an archaeologist - I like to think that he knew Indiana Jones and Marcus Brodie.

Speaking of whom, Raiders and Last Crusade are excellent. The other two, not so much.

We mainly watch films from yesteryear. The acting, the plot and the actors and actresses are all far superior to modern films which now mainly rely on shock value, special effects and crudeness and vulgarity.

A Night to Remember the only good Titanic film.

Stagecoach. Classic western, great cast, great characters.

Whistle Down The Wind (Hayley Mills and Alan Bates)
On Golden Pond (the Fondas and Katherine Hepburn)
The Nuns Story (Audrey Hepburn)
The Goodbye Girl (Richard Dreyfus) - I love this film
Move Over Darling (Doris Day and James Garner)
Pillow Talk (Doris Day and Rock Hudson)
Paper Moon (Tatum and Ryan O'Neal)
Yanks (Richard Gere)
Kramer vs Kramer (Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep)
Tootsie (Dustin Hoffman)
Princess Bride (Mandy Patinkin and Robin Wright Penn)
Breaking Away (Dennis Quaid)

How do people source these films now? Online? If so where?

When I was at school we sometimes got shown an Agatha Christie film with Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple, I loved them! Particularly remember Murder, She Said (adaptation of 4.50 From Paddington).
