What are your favourite nostalgic films?

[spiderdave]

I'm having a bit of a wobble with stress and anxiety at the minute and I think some relaxing nostalgia would help. It can be any genre, I'm talking anywhere from Nosferatu to What Women Want, I enjoy most things!

What are your favourites that just send you to a whole other place in time when you watch them?

Out of Africa
The Big Country
Uncle Tom

Notting Hill
Pretty in Pink
Home Alone
Point Break
Pride and Prejudice (not a film as such, but feature length) Yes, the one with Colin Firth
Sing
Those Glory Glory Days (quite specific maybe; 60s, girls loving football)
Young Guns
Cocktail

Katie says Goodbye.

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is just wonderful.

lighthearted, fab music, great actors. Feel good through and through

ET, I'm right there playing with the speak and spell and riding around on my Raleigh Chopper.

3 men and a baby
Look who's talking
Uncle Buck

The Way We Were
The Great Gatsby (70s version)

My older DS has made it his summer holiday mission to watch a load of classic movies. This has ranged from;

Jaws (which is a terrific film now I am an adult!)
To Catch A Thief
Psycho
Casablanca
titanic
Jurassic park
The Poseiden Adventure
The Lion King
The Jungle Book
To Kill a Mockingbird (which he has to do for GCSEs next year)
A Night to Remember (all the Titanic and shipwreck themes are nostalgic for us because he went through a major obsession aged around 9)

We are so far through them all with only To Catch a thief and Casablanca to go

The Sound Of Music
Clueless
Fried Green Tomatoes
Muriel’s Wedding

Avatar
Lost boys
Goonies
Die hard

Right... putting that on the list.

Lots of fantastic suggestions here. These will keep me busy/lost for the next few days!

Just rented The Ghost and Mrs Muir on prime to start now as it's one I've never seen, I could look at Gene Tierney's lovely face all day.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, takes me right back to being a kid.

@Dontknowwhyidoit That's a great list!! I haven't seen Dogma for years and I still regularly quote "who fuckin' farted??"

Mrs 'arris goes to Paris - the one with Angela Lansbury is my comfort watch.
