Thursday Thirteen #15: Favorite “old” movies

In no particular order:

1. Young at Heart (with Frank Sinatra and Doris Day)

2. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (Jimmy Stewart)

3. Penny Serenade (Cary Grant, Irene Dunn)

4. I Remember Mama (Irene Dunne)

5. An Affair to Remember (Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr)

6. White Christmas (Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye)

7. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

8. It’s a Wonderful LifeI (Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed)

9. Roman Holiday (Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn)

10. It Happened One Night (Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert)

11. The Yearling (Gregory Peck, Jane Wyman)

12. Singin’ in the Rain (I don’t really like the film all that much, but the scene with the title song sung by Gene Kelly dancing in the rain is one of my all time favorites.)

13. The Man Who Knew Too Much (Jimmy Stewart, Doris Day)

I am sure there are many I have forgotten, and there are many more I’d like to see some day.

I SO agree with #12!

I must see some of those old movies. Back when screenwriters really knew how to write an excellent screenplay.

I’ve seen most of these, but I’m not famaliar with #13. I’ll have to keep an eye out for it. #6 is one of my all-time favorites. Great list.

Merry Christmas!

Good movies, I especially like #’s 5, 6, and 8!!

Happy TT!

I did movies, too. I should have added Mr. Smith! I just recently watched that for the 1st time and it was so good. Happy TT, thx for visiting mine.

OMG ! Sweet souvenirs ! I am always singing in the rain, that’s the favourite weather in Belgium !

That’s a great list! I love all those old movies. One of my favorite things to do on a cold, snowy Sunday (pre-children of course) was to curl up on the couch and watch old movies! Have a great Thursday:)

nice list.
mine is “on the waterfront”
have you seen it? it’s amazing. really.

Oh yeah! Thanks for sharing this nice TT! I´ve watched “Houseboat” with Cary Grant a few days ago… “old movies” are so beautiful

Happy TT from Germany,

I don’t know many of these at all, I haven’t watched many old movies.

What a great list! I love old movies – the look was story book, the acting supurb, the stories well written and the clothes were fabulous! I think of them as “comfort food for the heart”. Thanks for sharing your list, and for stopping by my blog! Happy Thursday,

I love old movie….movies with actual plots. We used to watch “Nostalgia Theater” with all the old movie. I love Now Voyager (Bette Davis) Harvey (Jimmy Stewart) and especially White Christmas.
