re: What is your favorite show/movie from over 50 years ago?

So many. Almost too many to pick one favorite.

I agree - I grew up in the ‘80s/‘90s but we weren’t allowed to watch that stuff - I know the movies from the 40s, 50s and 60s better - which blows my husbands mind

I made him watch An Affair to Remember and he really liked it - I want him to watch Roman Holiday but he won’t bc it’s black and white - I also wanted him to watch Zorba the Greek but it’s a no go

He’d probably watch God Created Woman

North by Northwest if I has to choose one.

Charade

Dr. Strangelove
Gilligan's Island

12 Angry Men
The Magnificent Seven
2001
Cool Hand Luke
Breakfast at Tiffany's
North by Northwest
Bullitt
The Hustler
Mr Smith Goes to Washington
To Kill a Mockingbird

Original Magnum P.I.

It's really interesting to watch them reference Vietnam and Pearl Harbor. Because the first season was in 1980 so those events were only 10 and 40 years previous, but watching today, they were 40 and 80 years ago.

Seven Samurai
Vertigo
North by Northwest
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Throne of blood
Day the earth stood still
Many loves of Dobie Gillis
