As my friend told me today, "Casablanca is never going to be in the $5 rack."
So I'm making myself a list of Classic Films I Love And Must Buy.
Here's what I've got so far. (With help from the AFI list of the best of the century.)
- Casablanca
- Gone With the Wind
- To Kill a Mockingbird
- The Wizard of Oz
- Miracle on 34th Street
- Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
- Twelve Angry Men
- The Indiana Jones trilogy
- Doctor Zhivago
- The Graduate
- West Side Story
- Rear Window
- A Streetcar Named Desire
- The Third Man (because it's on a photo in my office)
- Bringing Up Baby

You can't forget about Citizen Kane. That is the all-time best. Also, new classics: Rocky, Star Wars Trilogy, Usual Suspects and you may have to include the Lord of the Rings on there too.
The Sting - perhaps not on AFI's list (I didn't check) - but it is my favorite movie of all time, vintage Robert Redford and Paul Newman.
I think you left out Princess Bride and Space Balls! *giggle
Ok fine...I think you nailed the list.
Under Classics, may I suggest His Girl Friday and Adam's Rib (or anything with Tracy and Hepburn) and also Philadelphia Story. All wonderful movies and I will gladly watch them with you any time.
