Well i am a big fan of the classic films. i love James Stewart. also Cary Grant.
My favorite Jimmy Stewart movie is Mr Hobbs Takes a vacation! I love Cary Grant
in Bringing up baby. How Katherine hepburn Jimmy Stewart, Cary grant in The Philadelphia Story
Now That Is A Great Film! So what classic films do you enjoy watching?

Wasn't Jimmy Stewart the guy in the movie with the imaginary rabbit for a friend?

I really enjoy the Katherine Hepburn aand Spencer tracy films.

Harvey, and I believe that is on TCM or AMC this week.

gosh, last year at an old restored theatre downtown i saw holiday with katharine hepburn and cary grant. i'd never even heard of it before, but it was excellent!! really wonderful - jumped into my top ten list. now i can't find it for purchase - it certainly isn't on dvd. if you can find it, it's a *definite* winner!

my fave fun classic films always involve jimmy stewart.

ditto on Jimmy Stewart. He had whatever that "it" is in all kinds of movies—a genuinely great guy. And since childhood I have loved his prayer in Shenandoah when he instructs the Almighty in all the work they put in to the land and the crops that put food on the table and then says "but we thank you anyway."

My favorite classics are The Manchurian Candidate, Citizen Kane, The Trial, and a lot of Hitchcock: Psycho, Rope, Lifeboat, etc.

I also enjoy a few of the old westerns, Shane probably being my favorite.

And to follow the trend, I've actually never seen a Jimmy Stewart movie that I didn't enjoy. He must have just been one hell of an actor.

the umbrellas of cherbourg. oh my goodness, what a lovely movie. they just released it on dvd, and it has been gorgeously restored.

It's a Wonderful Life

Didn't see this 'til my senior year of college, at which time I'd heard many of my friends rave about it.

Sometimes, movies don't live up to the hype. This one did. Does. Every time.

It's the kind of film that gives you hope.

My husband and I use to go to his museum in Indiana Pa every Christmas. And cut down our tree on the way home. We will go again when our children are older.
it is so cool they have a private theater with different jimmy Stewart films

casablanca
the "thin man" series
all hitchcock's wotk
to have & have not (and most other of bogart's work)
citizen kane

lilblueriver, i love this film, too! i'm a big hepburn fan and none of my other friends have seen this one, so i have been unable to commisserate with anyone on its greatness so far... but isn't it great?? and have you checked half.com? i had some luck finding it there before. pricey, but available.

also, ditto on jimmy s. he just rocks.

"the women" and "it happened one night" are also fun...

and i love fred & ginger, goofy as that might be. the dancing is mind-boggling, and the costumes are amazing... my two faves of theirs are "follow the fleet" and the classic "top hat".
my only question is, when will someone get wise and do a classic-movies drive-in???

Rope
Laura
The Philadelphia Story

Laura, yes that is a good oldie!
How about meet John Doe I also just watched To sir With love, I like this one as well!

i know! and who knew cary grant could do backflips??

I like Bell, Book and Candle
Three coins in the Fountain
and anything with Audrey. She is my hero.

I love both Hepburns! And Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Fred Astaire, etc . . . growing up my parents would only ever let us rent classics.

The Philadelphia Story
Bringing Up Baby
Stage Door
My Favorite Wife
Roman Holiday
Sabrina
How to Steal a Million
Charade
Wait Until Dark
most all Marx Bros. movies
North by Northwest
Notorious
Vertigo

mandy, this perhaps explains a thing or two about you and your brother....
(no, i really have no idea what i mean by that, i just wanted to give you a hard time ) much love from your orchard ghost

i've always wondered about "stage door"--but really, how could a movie go wrong with katherine hepburn, lucille ball, AND ginger rogers?? good to know someone i trust recommends--i'll have to check it out...

and lilblueriver, the acrobatics that occur during that movie astound me. confound me. cary grant doing flips all over the place. katherine hepburn giving the ol' "money=valuable life" misinformation the what-for. gotta love it...

i know. i can't believe grant wasn't typecast into doing a flip in every other movie he ever made.

I love the Thin Man series. They are hysterical.

I also love:

Roman Holiday
Father of the Bride (original duh)
Breakfast at Tiffany's

I know there are more, but my brain is only on about 1/4 power

One of my favorite actors of all time is Orson Welles, he was way ahead of his time in acting and directing.
Citizen Cane
The Third Man
Touch of Evil
all great, great films!

The Seventh Seal
Seven Samurai
Casablanca


Casablanca...one of the greatest films of all time........

There is nothing more to say...turn off the machines
