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.

Oh yes, great film, so scary!

Also The Nanny also with Bette Davis (and Wendy Craig).

Nowisthemonthofmaying · 23/10/2020 12:48

For something really silly, try Road to Bali (on Amazon)

FloydWasACat · 23/10/2020 13:15

Charade....or anything with Audrey Hepburn in.

catlovingdoctor · 23/10/2020 18:33

I have to add The Man Who Came to Dinner. Black and white, very witty and funny

maadlady · 23/10/2020 19:42

Night of the Demon. Especially good for the spooky season. Very good special effects for 1956 way before the days of CGI's.
Im also enjoying watching Norman Wisdom films. Much needed light hearted laughs
