Now I want to see Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor.

Music Man is one of my favorites. My favorite cheesy musical is Camelot - Vanessa Redgrave & Franco Nero are so unbelievably gorgeous.

Agree with many of the PP's favorites (especially agree with the PP who said that Casablanca is the "perfect movie")

How about some of those big, long dramas from the late 50's & early 60's like Ben Hur, Spartacus, Dr. Zhivago & (my favorite - Peter O'Toole...mmmm) Lawrence of Arabia

Older movies - love old swashbucklers like Captain Blood & Robin Hood (with Errol Flynn).

Anything with Katharine Hepburn or Humphrey Bogart ---> so nothing is better than African Queen

All about Eve
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Streetcar Named Desire

Can we please clarify "old". Some posters seem to think 70's and 80's consitute old movies. I am in my late 20's and know this is not "old."

Classics people from the 40's, 50's and 60's.

The Miley Cyrus poster was dead on with some of these suggestions.

I cry every time I see it.

One of my all time favorite movies as well. I watched it as a tween back in my home country and cried even though it took a while for me to understand the racial interplay in the movie. I still cry to this day each time I watch it.

I also like Sound of Music and Parent trap with Hayley Mills.

I was born in 1974, but my parents were born in the 30s. My mom didn't like modern movies, so for my birthdays, we'd rent a VCR and an old film.
So I wtached a lot of old films. I think all of them have been mentioned, but I'll go ahead and repeat...
Casablanca
Wizard of Oz
Sound of Music
Any Alfred Hitchcock
The Wind and the Lion
Lawrence of Arabia
not that old, but love Dune
