If we're talking Really Old - Casablanca would be my number 1.

Casablanca (best of Bogart & Bacall)

Bridge Over the River Kwaii - (wonderful true story with so many of the big name actors)

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World - (big names and fun to watch)

White Christmas - (love the dance scenes, set, actors and locale

Singing in the Rain - (those wonderful dance scenes)

I have sooo many favorites as TVM is my favorite  channel but I will go with

The Best Years of Our Lives--about the return of solders from WW2.  Goldwyn received the Oscar for best  movie,  Wm Wyler for direction along with Fredric March and Harold Russell

Some Like It Hot with Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis written & directed by Billy Wilder

Now Voyager--"a tear jerker" but I do not carestarring Bette Davis, Paul Henreid and Claude Rains and Gladys Cooper as her mother.  It is from a series of books by  Olive Higgins Prouty.  It is one of the first movies about psychotherapy.  This a work of fiction but Olive Higgins Prouty had been through psychotherapy and been in a sanitarium.  See it with a box of tissues

Wuthering Heights  (1939)  a famous tragic wild romance

Dr. Zhivago  (1965)  romantic drama with a focus on Russian history

My Man Godfrey (1936)  a funny look at socialites

My mother's favorite is The Wizard of Oz, (1939) which she saw when it first came out, and said the color component transfixed the audience, since all had been in black and white previously.

My dad's favorite was Wings (1927), which he saw when he was little. This movie won the first ever Academy award for best picture.  My dad said he cried because the airplanes crashed.

Casablanca starred Ingrid Bergman not Lauren Bacall.  Both women were so stunning in their day.
