Gary Cooper---The Hanging Tree

Beau Geste

John Wayne----The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

I'd rate The Searchers and Red River slightly ahead, but a good pick.

Jimmy Stewart-It's a Wonderful Life

And then Mr. Smith

James Cagney- The Roaring Twenties

:think: Good one. I'll go sentimental and say Yankee Doodle Dandy

Humphrey Bogart-Key Largo

Maltese Falcon/African Queen

Edward G. Robinson-Key Largo

:thumb: The Woman in the Window is a close second.

Orson Welles-Jane Eyer

lain: After Citizen Kane I've always had a soft spot for his supporting turn in The Black Rose.

Peter Lorre-The Beast with Five Fingers

Arsenic and Old Lace or The Maltese Falcon

Basil Rathbone-Anything Sherlock Holmes

He'd have cleaned up today, when a great character actor can easily be a star.

George Sanders-All About Eve

Rebecca

Cuthbert Ogletree as Prof. Putride in Georges Méliès' 1904 silent Le Pantalon du Diable (The Devil's Pantaloons).

Percy McBride and Marjorie Mains (Pa and Ma Kettle) in almost any of their movies as the Kettles.

Any older musicals (I.E. The Sound of Music, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Oklahoma!, etc....).

Almost any John Wayne movie. But, my favorite was Angel and the Bad Man, with Gail Russell.

I like Bing Crosby movies (The Bells of St. Mary's is my favorite. But, I also like White Christmas.).

My favorite movie of all time is The Bishop's Wife with Cary Grant, Loretta Young, and David Niven.

Great pics. I loved Ma and Pa Kettle....she always reminded me of my grandma. And the Bishop's Wife has got to be one of my all time favorites. :thumb:

That's in our Christmas week rotation every year. That and It's a Wonderful Life and The Little Drummer Boy.

I love Robert Redgrave and Margret Lockwood in The Lady Vanishes, the Hitchcock film. Fantastic story, great acting and Margret Lockwood was stunning then.

 

[glorydaz]

I don't know how "old" it is, but I dearly love Fiddler on the Roof.

merle oberon in wuthering heights

 

[Daniel1611]

Idc what anyone thinks about it, but I love Clue. It's has a cult following fro a reason. Tim Curry is great in that movie. Such an underrated film. Great witty dialogue and neat story.

Ma and Pa Kettle reminded me of my great aunt Eva and great uncle Jennings. Pa Kettle even looked a lot like Uncle Jennings. :chuckle: The biggest difference was that they didn't have a lot of kids because they married late in life (They had both been widowed for several years.).

If I had to separate my favorite movies into categories, they would be 1) comedies; 2) old martial arts movies; 3) musicals; 4) old sci-fi movies; and 5) historical fiction (even loosely based on fact is great).
