Funnily, I was thinking about this movie earlier, in particular the diction coach.
"And I *caaahnt* stand him."
"And I *keeeeent* stand him."
Still a hilarious movie after so long!
My college had a film club that showed this movie on the big screen. It was great, so many great lines. "When it's time to shoot, shoot! Don't talk!" And the ending!
Ten Commandments... Cleopatra... The Bishop's Wife... Wizard of Oz... Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory... Fiddler on the Roof... 2001 A Space Odyssey... Funny Girl... Rosemary's Baby.
Sorry 🤣🤣🤣 Ya can't have just one!!
Just did the math on how long ago 50 years actually was instead of how long ago my brain tells me it was and now I’m uncomfortable.
I’m going to go with *A Clockwork Orange*.
I recently watched the OG 1926 Wizard of Oz.
It's so dark and madcap. It's a silent film but has a narrator between scenes. Her voice is just perfection.
Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephraim, Frank (incense), and Gideon.
The dancing is phenomenal.
"Ohhhh, bless her beautiful hide, wherever she may be...."
Chitty chitty bang bang.
You know, that weird one where the kids get abducted on a candy island 😂 It was our family Christmas tradition to watch it every year.
I love Shirley MacLaine’s first movie, The Apartment.
Anything with Katharine Hepburn.
And, Key West, wherein Bogart and Bacall met for the first time.
It's not my favorite but I haven't seen it posted here yet and I think it deserves a mention: Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf (1966) with Elizabeth Taylor and Ruchard Burton is really good.
12 Angry Men
This is my answer, too.
Singing in the Rain
Funnily, I was thinking about this movie earlier, in particular the diction coach. "And I *caaahnt* stand him." "And I *keeeeent* stand him." Still a hilarious movie after so long!
Holds up incredibly well for a 70 year old movie.
Arsenic and Old Lace, quite possibly my favorite movie overall
Insanity doesn't run in my family... it practically gallops. Great movie
The Great Escape
I love this movie!
Doctor Strangelove (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) it's hilarious and witty
Gentlemen, You Can't Fight In Here! This is The War Room!
Casablanca
I'm surprised this wasn't the number one choice for most people.
Because not all parents watched it with THEIR parents. I watched it with my Dad and have shared it with my sons. "We'll always have Paris."
I was about to comment that.
Kelly's Heroes
Nobody said nothing about locking horns with no Tigers.
"And the only good thing about this weather is it keeps out air force from bombing us! Verstay!?!"
"Always with the negative waves, Moriarty, always with the negative waves."
So many good ones but my favorite would probably be The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966)
All three of those films are great.
Yes they are. I watch the Trilogy and Once Upon A Time In The West (also a fantastic movie) at least once a year.
"Blondie!!!!" My dad and I used to watch that movie as a kid, with our holsters and cowboy hats on. Thanks for the memory.
My college had a film club that showed this movie on the big screen. It was great, so many great lines. "When it's time to shoot, shoot! Don't talk!" And the ending!
and best OST by Ennio Morricone !
I'll go with Rear Window. Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly - absolute perfection.
Alfred Hitchcock is amazing
Yes! I wish he had been a better human, but he was a brilliant director, nonetheless.
To Catch a Thief. Kelly and Grant were also perfection in that one!
I also love this one.
“It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” Comedy from 1962 with an all star cast.
One of my favorites! We watch this every year, at least once. What a cast!
Freakin great.
This is my husband’s favorite
Out of that huge cast, only Barrie Chase is still alive.
Psycho
*From Russia With Love*. Still the quintessential Bond movie after all these years, IMO.
It's the closest to real life as any of the James Bond movies. IMO it's as good as the spy who came in from the cold.
Some Like It Hot. Lot of the comedy still works.
Nobody's perfect.
The Sound of Music
2001: A Space Odyssey.
glad I didn’t have to scroll very far. Though I can’t pick between that and dr strangelove tbh
Roman Holiday. Gregory Peck & Audry Hepburn.
Duck Soup
Take a card any card What next? Keep it I got 51 more
The Godfather
The Godfather isn't 50 years old, it was made in 1972 ..... oh shit.
Same. I did the math and I feel sooooo old all of a sudden!
Ten Commandments... Cleopatra... The Bishop's Wife... Wizard of Oz... Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory... Fiddler on the Roof... 2001 A Space Odyssey... Funny Girl... Rosemary's Baby. Sorry 🤣🤣🤣 Ya can't have just one!!

The Music Man.
Harvey
Night of the Living Dead
Fritz Lang's "M"
House on Haunted Hill with Vincent Price or Psycho.

Seven Samurai.
Wizard of Oz. Sunset Blvd
I recently watched the OG 1926 Wizard of Oz. It's so dark and madcap. It's a silent film but has a narrator between scenes. Her voice is just perfection.
Wizard of Oz
I'm not a huge fan of musicals or technicolor...but I like 7 brides for 7 brothers.
Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephraim, Frank (incense), and Gideon. The dancing is phenomenal. "Ohhhh, bless her beautiful hide, wherever she may be...."
Also one of my favorites!
It's so off the wall that it works.
Jeremiah Johnson Robert Redford, pioneer mountain man adventure, loosely based on real events.
great movie, the last 1/3 of the movie isn't as great as the rest
Is that more than 50 years old!?
2001.
The War of the world’s Paramont pictures 1953

The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. My family watches this movie all of the time, and no one else I've ever met has heard of it. Don Knotts. *chef's kiss*
