Classic Film Recommendations

[Hiccupiscal]

So, over the weekend during a particularly horrible hangover i watched 3 Audrey Hepburn films - Breakfast at Tiffany's, Roman Holidays & Sabrina and i loved them all.
Such a change from the usual modern mindnumbing, cringe films I watch.

Followed it up the next day with 'Jane Eyre'

Really enjoyed that too.

....so now im looking for anymore 'classic' film recommendations? Bonus points if i can access them through NOW tv/Netflix..

Titanic
My Fair Lady
Roman Holiday

Casablanca
Rear Window
North by North West
Sound of Music

The Ghost and Mrs Muir
Passport to Pimlico
Bringing up Baby
Mr Blanding builds his Dreamhouse (my favourite)

Charade is one of my all time favourites

Some Like It Hot - one of my favourites and that great final line ‘Well, nobody’s perfect’.

All About Eve - with the fabulous Bette Davis and the line ‘Fasten your seatbelts; it’s going to be a bumpy night’.

(Sorry Op - I know you asked for classic films not lines, but I do love both films).

Also, Brief Encounter

Great Expectations 1946 version with John Mills

I assume the Titanic suggested above is the one starring Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck?
Have you discovered TalkingPics TV? 445 on Virgin. It's brilliant.
The Women (original)
All That Heaven Allows
Mildred Pierce
Mrs Miniver
Many Hitchcocks
Genevieve
Gaslight (very MN!)
Imitation of Life
Sullivan's Travels (all time favourite)
Reach for the Sky
Pillow Talk
Agree with Charade

Plenty more where those came from

Really old but The Wilmslow Boy, Goodbye Mr Chips and Goodnight Mr Tom

What a great thread idea. I love old movies properly old movies, not ones I watched at the cinema when they first came out! and haven't watched one for a long while.

Some great suggestions here, I love Bette Davis, All Abut Eve and Now Voyager are great films. Some Like it Hot is one of my favourite films. Other films I love are;

Singin' in The Rain
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (infact anything with Jimmy Stewart in is worth watching)
Casablanca
The African Queen
The Apartment

I'm sure there's loads more that I've forgotten about.

ALL ABOUT EVE

An affair to remember.

in fact anything with Jimmy Stewart in is worth watching

Including Airport '77 ?! erm... no.

Double Indemnity.
Casablanca
The Maltese Falcon
Any 1930's Warner Brothers musical that had Busby Berkley's name in the credits - but Footlight Parade is THE best.

Mildred Pearce
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane
Casablanca
Gone with the wind
Anything by Hitchcock

The Woman In The Window
Rebecca

Anything pre-1950 with Barbara Stanwyck.

I'm picking on the basis of easy availability- those two films are on YouTube.

Black Narcissus

A Matter of Life and Death

The Red Shoes

The Postman Always Rings Twice

Twelve Angry Men

Night of the Hunter

Dr Zhivago is a great film too but you'll need a whole afternoon to watch it.

The Lavender Hill Mob, Kind Hearts and Coronets and The Lady Killers. Basically anything with Alec Guinness

Dead Of Night a 1945 horror film about the ghost stories of some guests staying overnight in an old farmhouse.
The ending has the stories all entwining together in an intriguing ending.
Or does it ? ...

The Halfway House (1944)
Another Ealing woo based story.

Oh I am beyond excited at all the suggestions.
Many, many weeks of film watching for me
I'm really trying to start a new habit of
Relaxing and unwinding with a film on an evening (rather than a bottle of something), tea and snacks....
Tonight I have chosen "Sense & Sensibility" and have my fingers crossed. Film was only 1995, but a classic story obviously, so hoping I enjoy it.

Really thankful to all the suggestions so far. Lots to be keeping me busy with!

Keep 'em coming!

(I was also baffled by the titanic suggestion, but im guessing a PP is correct in saying its not the famous 1999 Dicaprio film!)

Films starring Alec Guiness or Gordon Jackson.

i'd add in:

its a wonderful life
to catch a thief
@FelicityPike love an affair to remember, i always sob
the greatest show on earth
@AuntMasha love 12 angry men
the african queen
philadephia story much better than high society
magnificent obsession

Affair to Remember
Notorious
Now Voyager

My ideal classic triple bill
