I'm just looking for names of popular films from "back in the day" (1930s-mid1960s)... Things that would come on AMC or TCM. Examples: Casablanca, Lawrence of Arabia, An Affair To Remember.
Thank you. :)

You already mentioned Lawrence of Arabia which is one of my top favorite films. Here's my list:
Citizen Kane
A Streetcar Named Desire
Ben-Hur (it was a silent film in the 1920s and then remade his own movie in the late 1950s)
Adam's Rib
The Philadelphia Story
North By Northwest
On The Waterfront
West Side Story
Singing In the Rain (I have not actually seen this one)
--gosh, there are just so many to choose from!
