Last night, I watched the French lieutenants woman and before that the 1970s version of Wuthering heights. Really enjoyed them both.

Can anyone recommend similar older films Grin

Not sure how old you’re looking for!

Nice, humorous (not comic) romcom type starring Walter Matthau - The New Leaf.

How old do you want to go? I watched Gone with the Wind this weekend after realising I'd never watched it before. My personal favourite oldies are Waterloo Bridge and The Magnificent Ambersons.

A couple of older films I always watch if they're on:
Twelve O'clock High

Very obscure but I remember loving it:
Four Seasons (the Alan Alda film)

Don't mind how far back as long as not too deep. I've never heard of a lot of these films. Thank you all Grin Love casablanca and the lady vanishes such a timeless films. Rear window is really good but so chilling. Just watched gone with the wind again before Christmas. Watched some like it hot once and thought it was ok not sure if I would watch again.

If anyone is looking for a film to watch a woman of substance is good. Liam neeson is in it and there's also a spin off second series to it can't remember the name of that one. It's along the same lines as a Catherine Cookson.

I recently watched Rebecca (1940 with Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine). Brilliant.

The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock is stunning. Also Marnie.
