Black and white films?
We're always looking for good, old films to watch.

My favourite is the Philidelphia Story. Anything with the lovely Cary Grant in it gets my vote )t'

Got to be Carry on Sergeant,the bit where Charles Hawtree runs at the dummy with the bayonet and goes straight past has got to one of the funniest that I have ever seen. {rofwl} {rofwl}

Does it HAVE to be black and white?
Do you know the lovely film, Fly Away Home, about a young girl who hatches some geese which imprint on her. Her dad teaches her to fly a microlight so she can lead them south on their migration. I think it's based on a true story.

I like It`s a Wonderful Life with James Stewart in it. Like the Carry on films cheeky but funny. Dr Zhivago, Gone with the Wind, The Alamo (with John Wayne in it) TRue Grit, Rooster Cogburn.
Sorry Lillia, know it`s more than one and some are colour films but I like films old and some new. When hubby serving in army in Germany we used to go to forces cinema most weeks. We were also made to go and see the film A Bridge too Far as the regiment we were with at time had taken part in action at Arnheim.
Bit of useless information last bit and probably )ot:

Whistle down the Wind, Rebecca, Some Like it Hot, Sunset Boulevard, any Marx Brothers films are all b&w favourites of mine. Also used to love Abbot and Costello films when I was a kid altho they haven't worn quite as well.

Also love all the MGM technicolour musicals ... Singin in the Rain, An American in Paris, The Bandwagon etc etc. Love them.

Oh and I'm a sucker for the old Hammer horror films too - love the look of them - the blood is so red! Always feels like weekend when I'm watching one late at night on the telly.
