Sunday Afternoon Films!

[Eeve]

DH and I have agreed that this coming autumn/winter we would like to work our way through some classic films (e.g., Singing In the Rain, Holiday in Rome, etc!).

Can you help with our list?

The 39 Steps is one of my favourites. The Hitchcock version is great.

Some Like It Hot is great fun for a weekend afternoon (I'm planning to watch it tomorrow). How old/'classic' are you wanting to go?

Jaws
Planes, Trains & Automobiles
Pulp Fiction
A Clockwork Orange
Guys & Dolls
Ice Cold In Alex
Tootsie
Night Of The Hunter
Babe

I'd be happy with any of the above

Genevieve - amazing film which pre dates Herbie by decades! Also Herbie! The Goonies. Gone with the Wind. The shop around the corner and You've got mail. My autumn is sorted :-)

Oooh place marking !

Brief Encounter
Vertigo

I've cold in Alex
The longest day

Ice cold in Alex! 🙄

Brief Encounter seconded!

High Society

An affair to remember.

The Red Shoes

Do you mean Roman Holiday? If you like Audrey Hepburn I'd also recommend Sabrina and Charade.
An American in Paris
High Society (and/or The Philadelphia Story)
The African Queen
Barefoot in the Park
Brief Encounter
An Affair to Remember
North by Northwest
Rebecca
Any of the Rock Hudson and Doris Day comedies

Casablanca - finally watched it for the first time recently - brilliant!

Another vote for Some Like it Hot too!

Calamity Jane
The Red Shoes

Pretty Woman

Inn Of The 6th Happiness, Houseboat, Black Narcissus, Passport To Pimlico, and Pollyanna

Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf. Bit harrowing, but great.

Where are these to be found though?

His Girl Friday - genuinely still brilliant and very watchable.

One of the list of 100 best movies: I know the American Film Institute has one, and I'm sure that Bafta has as well.
Plus various magazines and film critics also do one.

Films that won an Academy Award for best picture of the year.

Anything with Cary Grant. Most films with James Stewart. Films featuring the fabulous but sadly almost forgotten Alistair Sim. For sheer entertainment, most of the Gainsborough films.

High Society and/or The Philadelphia Story.

Anything with James Mason, Cary Grant or James Stewart!

The 39 Steps is one of my favourites. The Hitchcock version is great.

I came straight on to recommend this one! Pot of tea, toasted crumpets and a bit of Robert Donat is my ideal Sunday afternoon.

Then I'd move on to Rear Window. I love Hitchcock films...

Three Coins in a Fountain
Bringing up Baby
Stage Door
The African Queen
The Maltese Falcon
Voleflix has some old movies to watch for free if people are looking for them.

Lovely suggestions!!! Exciting!
