| I was looking for a few of the best classics and couldn't find anything for free. Does anyone have any suggestions? Which movies should I watch and how do I watch them? Have some streaming platforms - Hulu, Netflix, Prime, Apple, Disney. |

Tubi has some free classic movies. Of these, I'd watch Notorious, 12 Angry Men, The Magnificent Seven, The Seven Year Itch, and Bell, Book and Candle.

The Philadelphia Story
Plus, while not from the golden age of movies, I like Doris Day. Pillow Talk Plus three she made with James Garner |

| Rambo and Rocky. They are such good films with social commentary. |

| The Shop Around the Corner (the shop was a bookstore) with Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullivan was remade in the 50’s as The Good Old Summertime as a musical with Judy Garland and Van Johnson, taking place in a music store. The closing shows Judy with Liza Minnelli as a toddler. It was then remade with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in You’ve Got Mail, going back to a bookstore. It even references the shop around the corner. Fun to watch all three together within a week or so. |

Anything with either Doris Day or Cary Grant.
I would also add some musicals- Seven brides for Seven Brothers Holiday Inn My Fair Lady If you have kids, mine likely some early Shirley Temple when they were young. Then we watched most movies with Haley Mills (original parent trap). Family Favorites: The Trouble with Angles and The Bells of St Mary. |
