Which "old" movies to watch?

[bonfireheart]

Inspired by the thread on here where people were posting pics of hot "older" actors like Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, Robert Redford...made me realise how I know of these actors but have never watched any of there movies. What's on your must watch list? Planning on hibernating over Xmas:)

*their

Butch Cassidy
The Way We Were
Cool Hand Luke

Witness (young Harrison Ford)

On the Waterfront
Apocalypse Now
The Godfather

The Way We Were
Barefoot in the Park
Dr Zhivago (the proper one)

To Kill a Mockingbird (Gregory Peck)

Newman & Redford starred together in Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid. Highly recommended.

BBC iPlayer currently has:
All the President's Men
Top Hat
Bringing Up Baby
Citizen Kane
Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House
The Third Man
A whole host of lesser / crap black and white movies
And Witness which I wouldn't classify as properly old but does star Harrison Ford at his absolute peak of hotness.

Casablanca
East of Eden
Hud

Oh and Suspicion.

I tried to find 'Harvey' tonight, no luck. James Stewart in a whimsical role. I would like to see it again, I first watched it many, many years ago.

Great suggestions on here

Can't beat Doris Day in my book. I love 'By the Light of the Silvery Moon'
For a weepie try Waterloo Bridge with Vivien Leigh

The Sting
Paper Moon

Was it frantic avec un tres hot harrison ford?

Omg, if you want an old film to watch over Christmas, you MUST watch It's A Wonderful Life. You must. I insist.

Greebolsm _ it's on at many cinemas this year which i am very excited about

DH and I have watched it in the cinema together every year since we met, it's our Christmas tradition. We go to a posh cinema where they serve cheese and wine and snuggle up on a sofa.

Last year was the first year we couldn't do it. Already have our tickets for this year, just hoping it stills goes ahead!

@greeboIsMySpiritAnimal that sounds like such a lovely way to spend Christmas!

Yes agree, @greebols and @bonfire, sounds wonderful. I am going to watch it at the cinema for the first time this year with our x3 teenage children!

Do you watch TalkingPics TV? It's brilliant, lots of good old films and many obscure ones. I have bookmarks for many old film stars, my TiVo box is full of old films. My all time favourite is Sullivan's Travels, closely followed by the original The Women

I love the old Hammer Horror films, with Christopher Lee. Some of them are so-bad-it's-good but what's refreshing is the straightforwardness - no trying to be clever or ironic as in modern horror films.

The Yellow Rolls Royce. Your heart will break for Alain Delon.

Absolutely anything with Steve McQueen in it. Or just look at a picture of him for an hour or 2 🥰

The Man Who Never Was - Operation Mincemeat is the upcoming remake starring Jason Isaac and Colin Firth - based on a true story

I Was Monty's Double - also based on a true story

All About Eve - older actress usurped by younger model

Arsenic & Old Lace - Insanity doesn't just run in my family, it positively gallops

The Philadelphia Story - this was the basis for High Society

An American In Paris - Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron and George Gershwin

Not black and white but Singing in the Rain - watched this a couple of years ago as a Sunday matinee in a cinema - lovely soundtrack.

Shane

Carmen Jones - a modern, all black, adaptation of Carmen starring Harry Belafonte

12 Angry Men - Jack Klugman (Quincy M.E.), Henry Fonda and Ed Begley directed by Sidney Lumey

Lawrence of Arabia

To Sir, With Love

Cool Hand Luke - Paul Newman - What we have here is a failure to communicate.
