newbie Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Gone with the Wind Long, long trailer. Anything w/Carey Grant, Hepburn and Bogey. Oh yeah, Bette Davis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Without a doubt: It Happened One Night with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. LOVE it. I also love Rear Window, Dial M for Murder, His Girl Friday, The Scarlet Pimpernel, 12 Angry Men, and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I would say use your own judgment. Then I have to add in A Clockwork Orange, 2001, and Blade Runner. The sci-fi stuff is tricky because it's not terribly old, but it's also not so new now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mothersweets Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Everyone has given you so many wonderful lists! I just have one to add: There is a terrific Clark Gable movie called "Wife vs. Secretary" Gable has so much personality in this movie - different from his usual super-macho persona. Myrna Loy and Jean Harlow co-star with him. Good flick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Someone here said 'Splendor in the Grass' --:iagree::iagree::iagree::iagree: and, anything with Cary Grant, Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart, Barbara Stanwyck ('Christmas in Connecticut'), Katherine Hepburn ("Bringing Up Baby'), and I could go on with many more titles.

LibraryLover Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Sabrina Casablanca The Women (original) Rebecca (1940) Funny Girl Sunset Blvd Gone With the Wind The Way We Were The Ten Commandments-- worst movie ever made, probably, but Yul Brynner's shaved chest? Anne Baxter's theater acting (make it big!)? Lilly Munster marrying Moses? Hot Joshua? Best treat ever. Mary Poppins Sandlot (destined to be a classic) October Sky (destined to be a clasic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
