A good question.
I can see the thought here, so here goes.
James Stewart was a true great and made a movie about an invisible rabbit that I believe was re-made recently.
Can not think of the name, but sure to find on a search engine.
Just got it, Harvey, I think.
Another is Hells Angels made by the Famous Howard Hughes, though it was done in the 1920-1930 era in colour it is something else to see for the original stunt work.
I am on a roll, look out for a 1940 British version of Scrooge, probably the best ever for a feel good movie.
This one Had the guy out of minder in it also, George someone with the top leading Brit actor of the time playing scrooge like it was a stage act, out of this world.
I seen the above again recently and it beats all the HBO stuff hands down.
Enjoy you old romantics.

Ice Cold In Alex - ww2 story with John Mills Sylvia Sims and Anthony Quayle top film
M - Peter Lorre in this thriller about being a killer, I won't go in to depth and spoil it for you, but it is more pertinent today and was made by Fritz Lang
Or why not the two greatest love stories committed to celluloid. King Kong (1933 version) and the original Frankenstein with Boris Karloff.
It Happened One Night Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert from about 1935. This was the first film to win the big 5 Oscars and is absolute genius.
If you fancy a bit of Sci Fi there is always The Day The earth Stood Still with Jane Wyman and Michael Rennie. Watch it before it is spoiled by the Keanu Reeves re-make (who allows this kind of thing to happen).
One that was on the other week was "To Have and Have Not" with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, and the famous line "You know how to whistle don't you? You just put your lips together and blow". Is it any reason Bogart married her!
Enjoy

Any Marx Brothers movies if you're looking for good comedy! My personal favourites are A Night At The Opera and A Day At The Races, with Duck Soup and Go West close seconds.

The Third Man - Orson Well in it
Brighton Rock - from the Graham Green novel with Dickie Attenborough as Pinky in it. Quite dark for the time
Any Laurel & Hardy films
Any Hitchcock film
The Elephant Man - OK not technically that old, but a great B&W movie anyway.

"Sunset Boulevard" (1950) William Holden and Gloria Swanson
"Gas Light" (1944) Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman
"The Lost Weekend" (1945) Ray Milland and Jane Wyman
"Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" (1982) Steve Martin and Rachel Ward. Not so old but a very clever and funny film. By watching it you will get the titles of a bunch of old films in the ending credits.

I love Arsenic and Old Lace. Also House on Haunted Hill (1959), The Haunting (1963), The Thin Man series (starting in 1934). I'm partial though to anything with Vincent Price or Bela Legosi in it.
