Arsenic and Old Lace

It's a 1944 comedy that still holds up.

Charge!

I won't lie, I don't love old movies. The Hustler is about as far back as I'll go.

The old Clash of the Titans was good. Sinbad.

I saw this not long ago and man, what a dreary movie. Good acting and all, just...ugh.

Sound of Music

I typically can't stand musicals. But I recently watched "Fiddler on the Roof", "West Side Story" and "Sound of Music" with my 12 yr old daughter -- she loved them. Forgot how good of movies they are.

Will wait a bit longer to watch Grease with her.

ETA: Does Mel Brook's "history of the world" count as a classic?
