Mine is Gone with the Wind.
I also like Psycho.

My favourite oldie is The Ghost and Mrs Muir, made in the 40's with Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison as the ghost of a sea captain. A wonderful piece of whimsy.
And of course any film starring Cary Grant or James Stewart.

It seems like I love almost every movie listed in this thread! I do have a soft spot for the old monster films: King Kong, The Fly (and all the Vincent Price films), Dracula (1931), Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Creature from the Black Lagoon.....And I love: The Wizard of Oz, Harvey, Arsenic and OLd Lace, Gigi, African Queen (and almost everything Bogart was in), the old James Bond movies, Young Frankenstein, Music Man, Gone With The Wind, Mary Poppins, South Pacific, Strangers on a Train, It's A Wonderful Life.......The list is infinite....I love the old movies.

We just have SO much in common, Linda!

As if you didn't already know that!

Not enough room for all the films I love. Almost anything with Mae West, the Marx Brothers, Abbott & Costello, Fred Astair, Ginger Rogers, Gene Kelly, Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Burt Lancaster, Humphrey Bogart, Ronald Coleman, Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Irene Dunne, William Powell, Myrna Loy, Mary Astor, Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, Henry Fonda, James Stewart, Jean Harlow, Judy Garland, Claude Rains, Marlene Dietrich, Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck, Merle Oberon, Peter O'toole, Omar Sharif, Alec Guinness, and films by Hitchcock, Capra, Wellmen, Wilder, Fleming, Houston, Mel Brooks, Kazan, Curtiz, Busby Berkely,
Ford, Scorsese, Hathaway, Lang, Lean Oh somebody please stop me!

Colman did some excellent movies. One of my favorites that I just saw not too long ago is called "Talk Of The Town" with Cary Grant and Jean Arthur. It's a really cute movie. Just loved it.

I also liked him in "A Double Life"--won him an Oscar. Talk about a suspenseful film. He really earned his Academy Award for that one.

For mine, you can't go past 'Yankee Doodle Dandy'. I'm not a big musicals person, but this one is just great!

I like "How Green Is My Valley" and "To Kill A Mockingbird." I can watch them everytime they come on AMC.

I haven't yet seen Yankee Doodle Dandy. I'm not of a musicals fan myself. But it's very cool to see James Cagney sing.

In the words of a very famous Australian interviewer, 'Do yourself a favour' and see it.

I shall.

A few of my favorite older films-

Walking Tall (the original)

My favorite old movies are:

Arsenic & Old Lace-which is by far my favorite,Some Like It Hot,My Fair Lady,The Wizard of Oz

**************** How come everything tastes like chicken, except chicken

Way to go, radioderve!! You and I are the only ones with taste!! "Gone With the Wind" is THE best old movie, bar none. It was so far ahead of its time, made in 1939, it can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best of today's films.

When I came up with my list of the 100 greatest movies of all time I set 25 years as a reasonable minimum. However for old films I think 50 years is probably more reasonable (it makes me feel less old). So 10 of the best
A Matter of Life and Death (US Stairway to heaven)
To Have and Have Not
Goodbye Mr Chips
Kind Hearts and Coronets
The Philadelphia Story
42nd Street
You Can't Take it With You
The Adventures of Robin Hood (Errol Flynn)
The Day the Earth Stood Still
A Night at the Opera
All these are at least 50 years old and are - for somebody born in 1961 - the sort of movies I consider 'old'.

Very good films, tin. I'm only 21, so the fact that I have even SEEN these films is remarkable from a peer's standpoint. I set 25 years as the minimum because I wanted to get "JAWS" in there....it's one of my favorites. If you want to make it 50, my favorite "Dracula" can still go in...it's working on 73 years of age! Whatever makes you happy!!

I didn't mean to make you feel old... If it makes you feel any better, my parents were both born in 1942. But don't tell them I told you.
