What "old movies" do you love?

Gone With the Wind, It's A Wonderful Life, The Sound Of Music, The Wizard Of Oz, To Kill A Mockingbird, Whatever Happened To Baby Jane.

I love all Shirley Temple movies, and also Alfred Hitchcock ones, too.

Mary Poppins!! I have no idea how many times I've watched it - I even have the soundtrack

I like IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE,Mary Poppins,Sound of Music,Gone with the Wind

"Gone With the Wind" is my favorite movie. And I loved the first "Last of the Mohichians" (sp?) but I don't know when it was made.

and of course "Old Yeller"

Of course, I loved Little Women too, but not sure when it was made. I do remember watching it in the early 80's, though. I think it was black and white....?

My favorite old movie is definitely City Lights, by Charlie Chaplin. I think I was definitely affected by my first viewing of it, as I'm very, eh, inexperienced with it comes to seeing old movies (before a couple of years ago, it was rare to even see a 50s or 60s movie on TV, but now we have TCM, lol). Whatever I had already seen of black & white movies, that's what I was thinking of when I watched City Lights on youtube one night. My sister was going through a craze for Chaplin and I wanted to see what his stuff was all about, and City Lights was one of the first clips I happened across. Well, I watched the whole thing, falling into the story, and when the ending came, I almost bawled. To me, old movies in that era were either comedies or dramatic affairs. I wasn't expecting a REAL story, with heart and love in it. Naturally I had to look into everything else Chaplin made, and I now have almost everything he made, and I'm a bigger Chaplin fan than my sister, lol. But City Lights was one of the last movies I aquired for my collection, and it's my most treasured one. It still makes me cry, no matter how many times I've seen it.

Oo! Road to Morocco! And White Christmas too!

That scene, where she's asleep, and he's leaning over her, talking to her, the way it's shot, where he's almost kissing her, and then he stands by the window and talks about how she would have loved sailing the seas......*sigh* - so incredibly romantic, it gives me chills!!

That is definitely one of my all time favourites. And it's two feet away on the VHS shelf, and due for a viewing -- grab the Kleenex.

Definitely all the musicals, especially "Sound of Music" -- lost count of how many times I saw that in the theatre -- never mind the times since -- it's just next to "An Affair to Remember" on the shelf.

"The Inn of the Sixth Happiness", "Anastasia"

And now I'm drawing a blank, so I'll stop.

Amazing movies you all! No one mentioned Gaslight!!! A BIG fave of mine and my hubby's.

No, it doesn't fit into the thread's definition of old, but it is definitely a good movie!

So, MonaxLisa is now the official enforcer for this thread.
