What classic movie should we watch tonight?

[sunkendreams]

We (DH, myself plus on occasion our 9 and 5 year olds) have been on an accidental classic movie marathon lately that we're really enjoying. Not Casablanca classic, but movies that we remember enjoying as kids and teens. So far we have watched:

Die Hard
Gremlins
Planes Trains and Automobiles
What About Bob
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Parenthood
Poltergeist
Ghostbusters I & 2

Any suggestions on what to watch next? Kids are having an early night so rating doesn't matter. DH has just vetoed Scream, which was my random preference of the day.

The lost boys

For a 5 year old??????

Honey I shrunk the kids

Working Girl (not for the kids)

Throw momma from the train - one of my favourite movies ever

The op said that the kids were having an early night so ratings didnt matter.
Also presume they didnt show poltergeist or ghostbusters or quite a few on the list to the 5 yr old

Ditto to The Goonies

Twister! Storm chasing greatness

A real good old one is White Heat with James Cagney. ‘Top of the World Ma!’, it’s a great film.

The bodyguard, saw it the other night. Forgot how much I used too like it

lethel weapon
cocktail

Without kids, my kind of classic film is

Casablanca

Mine too. If we're going that far back, I'd recommend The Maltese Falcon, Kind Hearts and Coronets, The Ladykillers (the Alec Guinness version, not the Coen Brothers travesty of a remake) and The Odd Couple. Some Like it Hot has already been recommended, and I second that.

You can't go wrong with classic Hitchcock. The 39 Steps (I prefer the 1939s version with Robert Donat), The Lady Vanishes (ditto, but it's Michael Redgrave in the 1930s version), Rebecca, Vertigo, Rear Window, North by Northwest, innumerable others.

I'm also a big fan of the Coen Brothers (remark above notwithstanding). O Brother Where Art Thou?, Fargo, The Big Lebowski are probably my favourites.
