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?

Spider.. it’s a lovely film. Get the tissues out though.

Calamity Jane
The Goonies
Back to the Future Trilogy
Stand by Me

All classics.

Predator
Forest Gump

(never thought i'd put those 2 together tbh)

Goonies.

Because Goonies never say die 🤗

Green Card
The Cutting Edge
sleepless in Seattle

Anything from the 80s is quality fodder.

Pretty Woman
Officer and a Gentleman
Roadhouse
Trading Places
Close Encounters
Starman (my fave tearjerker, plus the best musical score of any 80s film)

I love watching films from my childhood in the 90's.
Drop Dead Fred
clueless
She's all that

This is a great list.

Slight tangent here but Dr Zhivago was used as CIA propaganda!!

I love old black and white films, especially if Alastair Sim, Margaret Rutherford, Alec Guinness, Cary Grant, Jean Simmons or Gene Tierney are in them.

Somethings got to give Diane Keaton & Jack Nicholson.

I see no one has mentioned Flight of the Navigator yet.

Thank you. I’m guessing you and I might agree about the works of Bette Davis!

True. Such a good movie though 😍
