Singin’ In The Rain 💖

The Lady Vanishes 1938 with Margaret Lockwood & Michael Redgrave directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

absolute corker of its time.

watch it here-

Destry Rides Again

Brief Encounter, made in 1945. Directed by the brilliant David Lean, and adapted from a one act play, Still Lives, by Noel Coward. Filmed largely at Carnforth Station, it's so atmospheric. Always makes me cry.

Passport to Pimlico
Please dont eat the daisies

Rebecca, the 1940 original with Joan Fontaine and laurence olivier. Fantastic film

Some Like It Hot
Doctor Zhivago
Anastasia with Ingrid Bergman and Yul Brynner

Anything swashbuckling with Errol Flynn, eg Captain Blood, Don Juan, The Sea Hawk, The Count of Monte Cristo, the more leaping on tables and flashing their rapiers the better!

The Children's Hour (1961). Perfect performances from everyone and a devastating ending.

The Philadelphia Story and High Society
