Can anyone recommend old films

[Cosyvibes]

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

Goodbye Mr Chips is my all time weepy. I start snivelling because the boys are so mean to him and him to them, then I get teary when they meet because although they are so happy now I know what’s coming, then the terribly bad thing happens and I howl, and by then there is no hope for me and I give in and subside into a heap of tissues, and then there is the ending, all those little faces, all those lost hopes. And Greer is so beautiful and kind, and Robert so adorable……..

The graduate although there are problematic aspects to it. Same with Rosemary's Baby.

Whatever happened to Baby Jane.

A lot of the Hitchcocks.

It's a wonderful life.

Casablanca
Gone with the wind
The old great expectations.
The old Rebecca

The Stepford Wives

Sunset Boulevard

Kramer vs Kramer

Actually most things with Meryl Streep

The Way We Were ~ I actually can’t watch anymore unless I’m prepared to loose the rest of the day a sniffling wreck. Breaks me.

We've just ordered Moby Dick the version with Gregory Peck and the version with Patrick Stewart.

The Albert Finney Poirot films

Field of Dreams

We also watch old scifi like Forbidden Planet or When World's Collide

Just depends what you like.

I watched ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf’ for free on YouTube. My ex finds a lot of old movies on you tube.

@Cosyvibes I love Matthew Goode too - he’s gorgeous! Have you seen Match Point? He’s in that. That’s the movie I go back to probably more than any other. Along with Wall
Street (Michael Douglas one) and Lost in Translation 😊

I absolutely love All about Eve

Also ‘The Magnificent Seven’

Bit depressed by what some people consider an old film on this thread!

Rebecca. The original one with Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine.
Doctor Zhivago.
The Court Jester starring Danny Kaye.

The China Syndrome

The Dish

Local Hero

The Admirable Crichton

I rented a film from Amazon prime the other evening called, “It always rains on Sunday”. From the 1940s, set in Bethnal Green so a nice bit of social history. Bit of a noir crime thriller.

I also fancied a war film a couple of months ago because I was feeling totally demoralised and fed up with the number of useful idiots in my country and in the West generally: So I found Carve Her Name With Pride on YouTube. It’s a true story about the war exploits of Violette Szabo who went behind enemy lines in WWII. It’s from 1958.

The Bicycle Thieves is a good one, for gritty Italian realism.

And the Umbrellas of Cherbourg is lovely for a bit of escapism. From the early 1960s. The two young leads, Catherine Deneuve and Nino Castelnuovo were bloody gorgeous in it too. Mid 1960s.

Tess - adaptation of Tess Of The D'urbervilles - tragic doomed love and Sergeant Troy swinging his sword around in the hayfield.

Actually, that’s Far From the Madding Crowd with Julie Christie and Terence Stamp, not Tess. It’s still Thomas Harding though. And a great film. Oh also, the location of that scene is the ramparts of Maiden Castle in Dorset, not a hay field.

I think FFTMC might be the first film I ever watched as a very small child. My dad loves Hardy and is a historian so it ticks a lot of boxes.

I love Rosemary’s Baby and China Town (also Polanski), but for some reason I found Tess a tad boring so switched it off half way through.

The Honourable Crichton
Operation Petticoat
The Quiet Man
Bridge on the River Kwai

Oh not seen match point @ThisLife1996 Mathew is so lovely isn't he? Always appears a true gentleman, think he would treat a woman lovely all champagne and roses. I love his voice and the way he speaks. Have you seen him in the Christmas movie with Kiera knightley, Silent Night? That's a good one but really sad and thought provoking especially in these times.

Sorry the only Piorot for me is David suchet he's magnificent.

Thanks for the YouTube tip.

Think the weathers to be rubbish this weekend so a good excuse to start making my way through some of these films. A little derail but this week I've started watching the only way is Essex from series one. Omg!! The drama !!!
I would love if they brought it back with all the original people.

All that heaven will allow with rock Hudson

How is it possible to watch these old films though?

I just search the streaming services every now and then.

Imitation of Life
Madame X
Rear Window
Mildred Pierce
Went The Day Well?
