Old film recommendations please.

[TiffanyIceberg]

I've just watched Gaslight, and started on A Night To Remember.

I was trying to remember ones my mother used to watch, I remember an old Hollywood music and dancing based one that had a swimming pool on the stage but can't really remember much about it, it was in colour not black and white.

But any other recommendations would be great. Trying to keep my mind occupied after a horrible break up.

The Third Man
The Ipcress File

Casablanca

I've just read a review of the Rebecca remake. Sounds like it's not a patch on the original.

The Man in the White Suit
A Shaggy Dog Story
The Browning Version

Love old B&W films hope all these suggestions help you at this horrible time. My favourites are
The Winslow Boy
Goodbye Mr. Chips
And Goodbye Mr Tom - not B&W with ex Morse detective John Thaw
💐💐

Some FAB suggestions for a lovely escape from modern life here!

All about Eve
Citizen Kane
The Third Man

This Happy Breed
Waterloo Bridge
In Which We Serve
Reach for the Sky
Kitty Foyle (on iPlayer)
Hobson's Choice
The Magnificent Ambersons

I seem to remember that he Ziegfeld Follies movie had a water ballet set piece on stage.
Great suggestions on here.
I'd add Colditz Story and the Yangste Incident from the 1950s.

Father of the Bride - 1950

Totally agree TALKING PICTURES and LONDON LIVE

Look up on IMDb

John Mills
Richard Attenborough
Laurence Olivier
David Niven
Celia Johnson
Joan Hickson
Noël Coward
James Stewart
Rosamund John

If you look at their films mainly before 1960s you will find some great films

CARY GRANT

'Charade', my absolute favourite old movie

Ooh, I’ve just watched Little Foxes with Bette Davies which was good.
Barbara Stanwyck is amazing, especially in Double Indemnity.
I also love the original Cape Fear with Robert Mitchum, it’s scarier than the De Niro one, he’s also scary in Night of the Hunter.
A Star is Born with Judy Garland
Sunset Boulevard
The Apartment (not very PC, but not many old films are)
So many great films to choose from...

The man in grey
The wicked lady
(Lovely memories of watching with my mother)

Imitation of Life is indeed fab
All That Heaven Allows (same director)
Victim (Dirk Bogarde)
Kind Hearts and Coronets

I second Dead of Night. Genius.

Lavender Hill Mob

Any Ealing Comedy really!

Another vote for The wicked lady and also The league of gentlemen. Talking pictures channel is great for the old classics.

Bringing up Baby
Ice Cold in Alice

The Wicked Lady
Rear Window - I love how much elegant nightwear pops out of Grace Kelly's tiny overnight bag, just POOF!
Murder by Death, just bonkers.
The Doris Day one where she's in London and her husband is trying to drive her crazy by whispering in the fog... Midnight Lace! It just came to me!
Strangers on Train
Rope
A Canterbury Tale
This happy Breed
Passport to Pimlico.

Now off to read the thread and see all mine have already been mentioned...

Ice Cold in Alex - fantastic recommendation!

The Odd Couple - not British, not b/w but bloody hilarious and you'll get one hell of an ear worm!

Kind Hearts and Coronets. Wonderful, wonderful.

A Carnival of Souls, for true spookiness!

Mildred Pierce is great
