Nobody does crazy as well as Bogy.

We watched an old Alfred Hitchcock movie last night, "Marnie".
Starring a very young Sean Connery and Tippy Hedren (sp). It's a neat excursion into mental illness.

Another vote for Lifeboat (1944). Hitchcock creatively sneaks in his cameo in this classic.

One Upon a Time in the West (1968). Henry Fonda in one of his best roles.

Captains Courageous (1937). Spencer Tracy’s first Oscar

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946). How life has changed for three WW2 Veterans after returning home.

The Bride of Frankenstein (1935). THE classic monster movie that influenced the genre for years and years.

Good double-bill with "Sorcerer." Each has it's strengths and weaknesses. Both worth watching.

My suggestion is Fritz Lang's "M".

They are both highly entertaining, enough to put more Keaton and Fairbanks films on my must watch list.

BTW, they're mostly fun, and less serious.

"The Night of The Hunter" (1955) with Robert Mitchum is a good one, which reminds me of German Expressionist films from the 1920's. Check out "Nosferatu" and "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari".

Wife and I are picking a movie, we decided it has to be a classic.

So far we have come up with:
Casablanca
Gone with the Wind
Dirty Dozen
To Kill a Mockingbird

Then we realized we don't know jack about classic movies, so we punted.  Give us your suggestions, all knowing arfcom!

There have been some really good ones mentioned but if you haven't seen any of these on your list, you can't go wrong, except maybe dirty dozen which is a pretty good flick but I wouldn't rate it up there with the other three.
I would choose GWTW mostly because it's so long (there's a lot to enjoy), but I really like TKAM too. I once named a dog Scout, after the little girl in TKAM.
