Your Favorite Classic Movie

[miss becky]

Mine is Casablanca. I never miss this when it's on TV. I love everything about this movie. Rick's bitter cynicism, and his later selfless courage. Louie's humor and his attitude toward the world. I love the doomed romance, although I will always think Ilsa was an utter idiot for getting on that plane.

So what classic movie is your favorite?

 

[Adam'sbaby]

I have to admit that I've never seen Casablanca. It's never on tv here. I love Rear Window and A Streetcar Named Desire.

 

[U2Girl1978]

An Affair to Remember.

A really beautiful love story with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

From Here To Eternity

anything w/ Grace Kelly or Marilyn Monroe

I love It's A Wonderful Life too

 

[Layton]

The 1930's (I think) version of King Kong. I still get chills as Kong approaches the giant fortification the villagers put up. Spielberg borrowed alot from this movie when he made Jurassic Park.

 

[BAW]

I have so many favorites, I would never be able to pick just one. Anything with Marilyn Monroe would be in my top 5

The Seven Year Itch
Some Like It Hot
Niagara
Don't Bother to Knock

They aren't "great" movies as some classics are but anything with MM in it is worth watching IMO.

Before GWTW, it was Casablanca.

 

[Angela Harlem]

Is On Golden Pond a classic yet?

 

[chelle00]

A streetcar named Desire
It happened one night
All about Eve

 

[saltwaterkiss26]

Casablanca



(does Dr. Strangelove count?)

 

[BluRmGrl]

The Wizard of Oz
Bringing up Baby
North by Northwest
My Fair Lady

 

[Jack In The Box]

Clockwork Orange

 

[AvsGirl41]

I'd echo "Casablanca" or "Gone with the Wind" but... "A Lion in Winter" ranks pretty high on my list...

I also like "Harvey" and "It Happened One Night." At least I think it's the title--Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable?

And the second half of Cleopatra, where Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton get together--that's some good chemistry!

 

[Saracene]

Casablanca
Gone With the Wind
All About Eve

 

[miss becky]

Gone With the Wind is another one of my favorites. And I agree with the person who said Lion in Winter. Also, I don't know if this counts as a classic, but I've always been fond of The Quiet Man.

 

[MsMofoGone]

Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford ... "The Way We Were"
