Oh gosh, how could I have forgotten Marty! I watch that film every time it's on TCM. It has everything - sadness, happiness, comedy, etc. Ernest Bognine was perfect as Marty.
And I love the snappy dialogue in the scene with the women in the bar discussing the death of the woman who had one-too-many children. 

 

A lot of people mentioned Casablanca. I have never thought much of that film, never watch it when it's shown. The allure just doesn't reach me.

The Letter was my favorite. I also liked Herbert Marshall in that-well, everything he does is good. Fabulous speaking voice.

I also love "A Catered Affair" with  Ernest Borgnine and Bette Davis. Fantastic acting and story.  

I love Bogart but Casablanca,no, also Maltese Falcon could never get into.

So many good old movies listed here. I'm always a sucker for the holiday movies many of which have been listed. Along with the ones that have already been mentioned, I never pass up the chance to watch Easter Parade, Little Women and The Bishop's Wife.

 

ETA~ Meet Me in St. Louis and The Shop Around the Corner with all the remakes--In the Good Old Summertime and most recently You've Got Mail are also favorites. 

 

I can't decide which Little Women is my favorite. I love the 1949 version and also the remake from 1994. My least favorite is the 1933 even though Katherine Hepburn made a great Jo.

One movie I don't think has been mentioned yet that I love is Kitty Foyle.  Ginger Rogers was so great in this movie.

Agreed.  I never pass up the chance to see this movie.  I think it was so bold for it's time, so well written and acted.  I am a big Sidney Poitier fan and will also watch "In the Heat of the Night" and "To Sir With Love" over and over again.
