Seems that been a few film related threads on here recently, last being Genre ones.
So had me pondering. In the world of remakes, reboots and superhero films.. how about the classics.
Anyone have a few favourite or go to films from the classcis (pre 1960s)
For me has to be;
1963 The Iron Maiden
1955 Lady Killers
1953 Titfeild Thunderbolt
1943 San Demetrio London
1940 The Stars Look Down
Are a few of mine.

I could list 100's of classic pre-1960's movies.
I much prefer old black and white films to a lot of modern cinema.
Amongst my favourites would be;
Casablanca
Double Indemnity
12 Angry Men
The Big Sleep
Touch of Evil
Gilda
La Dolce Vita
The Maltese Falcon
Night of the Hunter
Laura
North By Northwest
From Here To Eternity
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
To Catch A Thief
Smiles of a Summer Night
Citizen Kane
The Postman Always Rings Twice
Sweet Smell of Success
Rear Window
Dial M For Murder
Very much 'scratching the surface' here!

I think people need to research when film's are made pre 1960's , people are mentioning films from the 70's 80's and never 
THAT SAID.
Young Frankenstein is a classic film made in the genre as the OP asked.
I do love classic films.
Ice cold in Alex.
The Hill.
Night of the Demon.
The 39 step's.
The 3rd man. |

Of those already mentioned, '12 Angry Men' gets my vote (it's not #5 on IMDB's top 250 movies for nothing!!)
...and following a conversation last night about films that make you cry (another thread for another time!), last night I forgot to mention 'It's a Wonderful Life'. Mandatory annual Christmas watch to get the tears going! |

I can picture it in my mind, I was quite a few years younger and it was a black-and-white film featuring James Cagney, what I remember was one word in the title angel, and I remember a priest who was his friend telling him as a prisoner to act scared before his execution |
