Great old movies?

[OhWhatToCook]

I’m sick of flicking through every pay site I’ve got and not finding anything new or recent I want to watch. Or being disappointed with an over hyped new film.

So, I’ve decided to watch old movies. I used to love them when I was a child. So, hit me with your favourite movies black and white, up to the 90’s. The must sees.

My favourite are;

Gone With The Wind
Waterloo Bridge
The Ghost & Mrs Muir

@FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge I'm Australian, so I don't know Emma Willis. I looked at her picture, and I can see what you mean. It's the hooded eyes, I think.

Out of interest, I googled actresses with hooded eyes, and the only one who came close in the looks was, for me, Catherine Zeta Jones whose beauty harks back to the style of the golden years of Hollywood. Lauren Bacall also had fabulous hooded eyes.

Agatha Christie likely used an aspect of her life for one of her mysteries.

Just looked her up on Wiki. Yes, I recognised it straight away, before I read as far as the mention of Agatha Christie.

Not the first time Dame Agatha had used real life events as inspiration or background, of course.

It's a Wonderful Life - watched it with my DS8 and DD6 this weekend and they liked it.

Some Like it Hot - so funny

CrossPurposes I'm glad to hear someone else likes that film, I think it's magical.

Some of my faves been mentioned already. I’ll add

Ice Cold in Alex, and
Four Feathers (original)

was just mentioning to DH that I really felt like watching Brassed Off again. Must see if it’s streaming anywhere

Harvey - giant rabbit, James Stewart. Has the best quote: "you know doctor, sometimes I think I see Harvey!"

Hobson's Choice

A Canterbury Tale

The Wicked Lady

Letter From an Unknown Woman

Washington Square (is that the film or book... B/W has Olivia de Havilland. Heartbreaking). The Heiress...? God my memory!!

Black Narcissus (nuns in Tibet)

Doris Say film set in London, in the fog, Rex Harrison, thriller, name escapes me - help! Black Lace??

Dial M for Murder - Grace Kelly

It's a Bad Mad Mad Mad World - people searching for treasure under the Big W! It's 59s or 60s.

The Twelve Chairs - in fact anything by Mel Brookes

A Matter of Life and Death, David Niven.

Curse of the Spiderwoman (80s, but brilliant).
