Thunderbolt and Lightfoot - Jeff Bridges and Clint Eastwood

 

[TheKiwi]

Have any of you seen It Happened One Night? I just recently watched and loved it. In some ways, it's very modern (the acting, the comedy...). I highly enjoyed it.

 

[hendrix]

I highly suggest Annie Hall and Manhattan with Woody Allen.

 

[colourmepretty]

Slumdog Millionaire

 

[ParadEyes]

does anyone know any good website for watching classics online?

 

[Gainsbourg]

My favorite old movies are: Gone with the Wind (just my favorite movie anyway), To Catch a Thief, High Society, Sabrina, and Royal Wedding

 

[colourmepretty]

Breakfast at Tiffany's.

My favorite movie of all times.

 

[Romanee]

Well here's a list of my old faves
Bonnie and Clyde not only is it a good film, but Faye Dunaways clothes in it are just to die for.
And God Created Woman directed by Roger Vadim and starring his then wife Brigitte Bardot this is a definite must see, Bardot is simply stunning in it.
Barbarella another Vadim film, it's so kitch, and will definitly make you laugh.

 

[onddorn]

I must mention "Cactus Flower" (1969) with Ingrid Bergman,Goldie Hawn and Walter Matthau. This movie is so underrated - it's so funny,smart and with great actors and story.

 

[onddorn]

Some more from my must-see list,it's hard to narrow out,but the first ones coming to my mind are

Gone with the Wind (1939)
Casablanca (1942)
Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

 

[JulesZ]

My favorite classic film would have to be Roman Holiday.

 

[anniehall]

Annie Hall for sure! My favorite always!!
