What is your favourite classic film of all time?

I'm not too big a fan of films, and don't really watch them that often but there are some I watch repeatedly.

I love A streetcar named desire, it's probably one of my all time favourites.

 

For me it is a tie between "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" and "Apocolypse Now."

So many - "Baby Doll" w/ Karl Malden, "Harvey" w/Jimmy Stewart, "Streetcar named Desire" w/Vivian Leigh and Marlon Brando, Rosemary's Baby w\Mia Farrow, Psycho w/Anthony Perkins and on and on.

 

I absolutely love Streetcar Named Desire! Also On the Waterfront. I literally could watch Gone With the Wind 3x in a row (12 hours of Rhett Butler ).

I am a huge Cary Grant fan so I love Arsenic and Old Lace, Bringing Up Baby and The Philadelphia Story.

Probably one of my favorite actresses is Faye Dunaway: Network, Chinatown and Bonnie and Clyde

And The Quiet Man with John Wayne...partly because it is my Grandpa's favorite movie

I have watched 99 of the 100 movies on AFI's top 100 movies (1997 list). All I have left is Ben-Hur...which I own but can't seem to force myself to watch

Obviously I am not very good at narrowing it down to just one...

 

I'm all about Marlon Brando

 

how classic are we talking about here? pre-godfather or post-godfather?

 

Probably Gone With The Wind.

 

Cool Hand Luke.

'What we've got here is a failure to communicate'

 

The Searchers.

 

i dont think its a classic, but bonnie and clyde has always been my favorite!!

warren beatty is so dreamy

 

It was just on the other night on ABC The Ten Commandments


I'm not even religious


Hotwater

 

Planet of the Apes and Night of the Living Dead. Come to think of it, so much creative stuff came out of the late sixties...

 

I'm a big Bogart fan, so Cassablanca, The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon, and The African Queen come quickly to mind....Hmmm...What else?

American Graffiti...The Blue Max, (It's on AMC this month) Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid ("I can't swim!" "The fall will probably kill you!")

 

Classic? How is that defined?

I noticed a lot of old movies mentioned from the '30s '40s & '50s.

Of the old classics that I could watch again (and have on DVD and will watch again) is Lawrence of Arabia from 1962.

However, Alien to me is a classic sci-fi (it's over 30 years old).

Then there's classic horror which to me is The Exorcist (at 37 years)

 

Grapes of Wrath ,God's Little Acre,Tugboat Annie,The Man Who Came to Dinner,The musicals with Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddy,and Tobacco Road are some of my favorites. Can't pick a favorite ONE tho.There are many that have been mentioned that I really like.

 

Me too.

 

Pillow Talk, Red River, High Noon

 

one of my favs is "vanishing point"!

 

I'm not really sure how you are defining classic either but 'forrest gump' is a favorite 'classic' of mine.

I guess 'psycho' would be my favorite of the older classics.

 

A Streetcar Named Desire.

Love the play.


But as far as the movie, I would so do Marlon Brando. In that movie anyway. Mmmmmmm
