MY TOP FIVE FAVOURITE OLD-TIME CLASSIC MOVIES

Just for a bit of fun, I thought I'd share with you my favourite OLD movies.
  1. AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER
    1957, Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr
    I love the old-time feel and the romance of the movie.
     
  2. TWELVE ANGRY MEN
    1957, Henry Fonda, E.G. Marshall, Lee J. Cobb, Jack Klugman, Ed Begley, Jack Warden, Martin Balsam, John Fiedler, Edward Binns, Joseph Sweeney, George Voskovec, Robert Webber.
    The movie was remade in 1997, with another amazing cast and just as powerful.
     
  3. THE CHINA SYNDROME
    1979, Jack Lemmon, Jane Fonda, Michael Douglas
    The suspense, the fear of the topic, the good guy doing all he can to do the right thing.
     
  4. SILKWOOD
    1984, Meryl Streep, Kurt Russell, Cher
    Again, the fear of the topic. The very ordinariness of the characters (they could be you or me) caught up in a bad situation.
     
  5. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
    1962, Gregory Peck, Robert Duvall
    Not a lot of cast, not a lot of sets, but a gripping story.
     
  6. CAT BALLOU
    1965, Jane Fonda, Lee Marvin, Michael Callan
    A fun romantic comedy with the ever-lovely Jane Fonda.
Okay, so there were six. I squeezed in an extra one.

What are your favourites?
