Your favourite Old Hollywood films?

[Darkling1]

I’m just getting into Old Hollywood films. I’ve only watched a handful so far, but right now my favourite is Bringing Up Baby (staring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant)

What’s your favourites?

Brief Encounter! So tame really but I love it!

So many, but I love Now Voyager for the melodrama!

Mr Smith Goes to Washington
To Kill a Mockingbird
Harvey
Gone With The Wind
Its a Wonderful Life
Casablanca
A Town Like Alice
The Birds
An Affair to Remember

An affair to remember

The Quiet Man

An Affair to Remember or anything with Cary Grant to be honest. I was kind of "brought up" on Crosby and Hope films and have a real soft spot for them. Also Danny Kaye in Walter Mitty.

It Happened One Night ❤️

Ooh and I always have time for Ice Cold in Alice.

The Philadelphia story

Laurence of Arabia

All Doris Day films. Such style plus she reminds me of my mum.

Gone with the wind. Penny Serenade, Houseboat (Cary Grant again). Marilyn Monroe films. Musical wise, Show boat and Fiddler on the roof. I also like original Charles Dicken's B&W films.

Casablanca
Roman Holiday
Third Man

Ive a soft spot for Ealing and Powell Pressburger movies in the oldies category too. Lady Killers, A Matter of Life and Death

Whistle down the wind, Swiss family Robinson.

Mildred Pierce or any Joan Crawford film. Spencer Tracey films great too

The Bishop's Wife at Christmas - lovely! I really enjoy an old war film as well, I Was Monty's Double is brilliant.

Oh and High Society is maybe my favourite film. The bit where they sing True Love on the yacht always makes me cry.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Not a Hollywood film but I shouldn’t be so pedantic!
Laura
Mildred Pierce
Sullivan’s Travels
All Bette Davis films
Leave her to Heaven
Adam’s Rib
The Women
The Fountainhead
Everybody Does it
Song of Love
lots more…

so many wonderful films but my favourite is Some Like it Hot

I grew up watching Calamity Jane. I love it! Haven’t seen any other Doris Day films, mind.

Ghost and Mrs Muir. It looked like it was filmed on the UK coast and was very disappointed it was US based.

This is next on my list!

Rear Window, absolute classic and completely gripped me when I first saw it

I love Blue Hawaii the Elvis film. If anyone else was in it, it wouldn’t be any good, but it’s my favourite of his films.

I loved Casablanca, and I don’t know if this counts but the Poseidon Adventure too.
