Sometimes I go through spells where I want to watch some of the classics. For the longest time I was on a Marilyn Monroe kick. What are some of your favorite classics? I want to add them to my list of things to watch!

Well not sure what you classify as a classic but here are some older movies that I do enjoy: Arsenic and Old Lace Father Goose Time of Their Lives Harvey Seven Brides for Seven Brothers Cat Ballou Brigadoon Kiss Me Kate Calamity Jane Oklahoma Music Man Singing in the Rain The Pirate The Crimson Pirate Ok well that's about enough for now. As you can see I like some older movies. I hope you enjoy these as well.

For older romantic musicals, I'd also recommend Carousel, The King & I, My Fair Lady, South Pacific, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.

Most of the classic movies I love are the musicals like West Side Story, Singin' in the Rain and The King and I. For nonmusical my favorite is Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn was so beautiful in this movie!)

If you like comedy, try Bringing Up Baby. If you like mystery or suspence try The Maltese Falcon, if you want to see a film noir, try Murder My Sweet and Double Indemnity. If you like musicals, try An American in Paris and Singing in the Rain. And for drama, try Casablanca and All About Eve. By the way Marilyn is in All About Eve.

There must be many... Some of my favourites are... The Great Escape with Steve McQueen The Battle of Britain with Michael Caine IKE with Robert Duvall The African Queen with Humphrey Bogart The Time Machine There is a remake of The Time Machine which is also very good and more up to date with our time.

What a great subject! I love the older classic movies. One of my favorites is Bonnie and Clyde with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. I agree with Emerald that Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Clamity Jane are also great. Here are a few more: Any Shriley Temple Movie, but especially Captain January, Heidi, and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. Rooster Cogburn and the Lady South Pacific I could add many many more, but I think you have quite a few to get you started. Enjoy and eat lots of popcorn.
