I am watching Roman Holiday...........what is your favourite "old" film?

[LottieMumofWilfJenkins]

I got an absolute bargain last week at a bring and buy sale. A still wrapped box set of Dvds of RH, To Catch A Thief and A Place In The Sun for £1!!
I havent seen RH before and am really enjoying it. I watched High Society this afternoon. I love the grace and style (excuse the pun!) of TCAT!!

Rear Window. Dad and I watched it one sunday afternoon years ago when we were both ill with something viral. Its a fond memory for me and I always look out for it on telly now.

They did make a remake of an Affair to Remember. It was called Love Affair with Warren Beatty and Annette Bening.

It was complete rubbish!!!

The sound of music
Some like it hot
It's a wonderful life

So many

Ice Cold in Alex
The Man Who Would Be King
Lawrence of Arabia
Some Like It Hot
The Hustler

And the film that made me fall hopelessly in love with Paul Newman (at a fairly young age)

Cool Hand Luke.

I love Shop around the Corner too

Brief encounter and my fair lady

All about Eve is amazing, just Bette Davis at her finest

Finians Rainbow.

Cool Hand Luke
Hatari
The Sound of Music
Singin in the Rain
All About Eve
It's A Wonderful Life

I love Sky West and Crooked

Meet Me In St Louis
King Kong
A Place in the Sun

A town like Alice
Brief encounter
White Christmas

Remember watching "Seven Brides..." as a little girl and thinking the brothers were so cute and funny, why did she not want to live with them all forever!

I love most of the films already mentioned.

My user name is the second line of one of the songs out of a personal favourite, Showboat.

beetlejuice

Dambusters
Signing in the Rain
Brief Encounter
Anything where "girls" is pronounced "gels".

Night of the Hunter, Shelley winters and Robert Mitcham. Genuinely chilling and I always well up at the last line, 'children, they endure' when those children had been through so much and finally Lillian gish believes them.

Now this is my kind of thread! Love nearly all those mentioned above, but have to add:

Waterloo Bridge
The Women (Norma Shearer version)
Young at Heart
The Light in the Piazza
Raintree County
Cheaper by the Dozen

Barefoot In The Park
Angels one Five
Dambusters

The Red Shoes

also,
Some Like it Hot
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Breakfast at Tiffany's
The Wizard of Oz

Blithe Spirit

I'm partial to a bit of Film Noir.

Night of The Hunter - in my Top 5 of all time.
Maltese Falcon, Third Man, Sunset Boulevard and Double Indemnity, tend to be watched on rainy days, ideally with some dark chocolate and the curtains shut.

Oh I love Roman Holiday! Such a charmingly romantic and fun story... I think its ending makes it even better.

Other faves include Singing in the Rain, Harvey and Night of the Hunter.

It's a Wonderful Life
Hobson's Choice
The Family Way
Ryan's Daughter

Musical: West Side Story (I feel pretty, oh so pretty sung by the glorious Natalie Wood)

Oh yes Night of the Hunter is truly chilling.
