What are some good classic films to show a girl who never watches old movies?

Sunset BVLD

this or Roman Holiday

Gregory Peck is a handsome motherfucker.

It Happened One Night - for RomComs
Casablanca - for Romantic Drama
North by Northwest - for Suspense
After the Thin Man (The one with Jimmy Stewart) - for Mystery

If by girl you mean a daughter, not date then try The little Mermaid - for Disney princess shlock

All About Eve

Casablanca
Sunset Blvd
Roman Holiday
The Third Man if you think she will appreciate it

Shirley Temple was gorgeous in the 1940s

I wish she made more movies when she was older. Just beautiful.

Roman holiday a shit and To Kill a Mockingbird ruined any chance of viewing Gregory Peck as a burger trying to bone princesses.

It Happened One Night is the superior classic romantic comedy.

Well Roman Holiday was basically a remake of It Happened One Night, and yes the original is superior. However The Philadelphia Story is the best classic rom-com

Favorite movie is Days of Wine and Roses and watched it with my ex. She wondered wtf is wrong with me....

Why? It's a good movie.

It's a great movie, but it's incredibly depressing. Also she thought it was a comedy cause of jack Lemon but was obviously wrong. I think she stopped drinking for a week after seeing it

Do girls like The Apartment?

The Maltese Falcon
The Third Man
Fritz Lang's M
Arsenic and Old Lace
Frankenstein

Understandable I guess. My favorite alcoholic film is The Lost Weekend, followed by Tree's Lounge.

This thread didn't get deleted and there's a bit of people actually posting films instead of screaming the n word and talking about how women are le inferior to incels
Yea Forums should be aggresively flooded with threads where people can actually post films, maybe that will get these fucking imbeciles out

For me, it's The Lady Eve.

There are almost always good fun threads to be found, you just gotta lurk moar. Late Night Yea Forums is best Yea Forums as well

Never seen this, but it reminds me of Mystery Train, and I like that movie because you get to see Joe Strummer act.

I'm always able to find at least 1-2 threads that seem fun. Then again I like low-brow 80s/90s shit so there is that

>The Quiet Man
Kino of the highest order.
John Ford's most personal story, one of his best films and John Wayne is really acting.
Also she is beautiful.

I'd pick 'Some Like It Hot', if she's willing to bear watching silent film I'd pick 'Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans'.

Spartacus.
Out of the Past.
Gilda
Sabrina
The Blue Dahlia
Gun Crazy
Niagara
Double indemnity
The Postman Always Rings Twice
The Lady From Shanghai

I'm a 40 year old virgin, I like old films and I post here.
Sorry to break your silly myopic worldwide where you thought you had "incels" figured out.

Double Indemnity

Pitfall, any noir with Dick Powell as the lead. Trust me. Most are on YT.

I fucking hated Gilda, so goddamn much. It's like watching Days of Our Lives but in black-in-white with cool lighting. Shitty fucking soap opera drama piece of shit that is only remembered because Rita Hayworth was one major piece of ass

She looked hotter in Only Angels Have Wings, anyway

Whoops, forgot this kino on my list.

Watched that one on TCM. Pretty good.

Dead on Arrival

Very clever film with great action.
There are so many old kinos, it's ridiculous.

>old movies?
How old is old?
I heard people calling late 90s movies old and I'm the weird one for not watching exclusively the current year films.

If she likes comedies:

We're no Angels 1955
Arsenic and Old Lace 1944

Made my millenial cousins watch those one vacation and they thoroughly enjoyed them. They didn't expect them to be funny either which is nice for an old boomer to be validated. I like a lot of silent movies myself, but they're an aquired taste. Shit like The Thief of Bagdad was the capeshit summer movie of its time.

1968 and earlier is old, 1969 and later is "modern." Don't know about anyone else but I go by the death the William Hays Production Code as the cutoff.

Normalfags obviously have different standards, Some that I met think even 10 year old films are "old movies" for fuck's sake

>1968 and earlier is old
This changes everything, I considered Dial M for Murder modern, so that's my pick

I like this film so very much

>that cast
Holy shit I think I need to see this.

Of all things to kill it wasn’t it that trash Bonnie and Clyde?

kekd

Did you know that Katharine Hepburn was considered box office poison in her time?
I like her generally, she is a great actress but sometimes she's really insufferable on film, so I understand why she was considered poison.
Still, when she's in the mood, wow, best actress ever.

I'm pretty big on The Awful Truth myself.

>William Hays Production Code
Well, shit, I had no idea this existed, this could explain a lot on the very obvious tonal shift that happened in films.

Are you the same one who recommended that movie to me like 5 years ago? I have it on my hard drive and still haven't watched it

I think if you're going to show someone their first silent film it's a good idea to start with a comedy. Keaton might be easier for modern audiences to appreciate at first since he's so dry, but I've let a girl borrow my City Lights Blu-ray and she said she really liked it.

Attached: city lights.jpg (400x600, 93K)

She’s fugly though, why should I watch her over literally any other actress from back then? I don’t doubt audiences didn’t come out to see her.

I forgot she was in that. I love me some Jean Arthur.

One time I bothered this 10 year old kid into watching Duck Soup when it was on Netflix. He really didn't expect to like it, but I saw him watching it on his tablet with his earbuds in and giggling. I felt good.

Probably, because I think I'm the only person who shills for it. Got a Criterion release recently though.

Mmm, Jean Arthur. She was so lovable, what made her stand apart from the others was the idea that any man could fall in love with her no matter how cynical.

I read that she was always super nervous about not doing a good job and she'd be throwing up all the time on set. Left acting because she just didn't want to do it anymore. But I love her so much in Mr. Smith.

didnt she win the most oscars gor any person though?

On the Waterfront has a pretty Brando.

She was... before Meryl Streep .... streep'd.
now shes in second place

The whole "box office poison" thing was started by a few disgruntled theater owners and reporters who wanted a story. Truth is she was still popular and just happened to be in a few movies that bombed. The Philadelphia Story was her big comeback

this

roasties will identify with it

well fuck sakes she was nominated in best actress for On Golden Pond in fucking 1981...

I think girls would like A Matter of Life and Death.

Can confirm bitches love Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Just a fun, silly romcom with a lot of pretty stuff to look at.

No

It's one of my favorite movies.

I used to think 1965 as the cut off point but this makes a lot more sense. There was definitely a shift in tone in the late 60s.

That's a fun movie. The little girl is a really great actress.

1965 is as good as any, that's Leonard Maltin's cutoff point I believe. Honestly that's around the time they stopped enforcing the production code even if it didn't officially end until 1968

Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Yeah when people say "old" or "classic" I tend to think 1970 or earlier

Astaire Rogers films. Swing Time, Shall We Dance, Roberta, Top Hat, Follow the Fleet, etc etc. All are good. Astaire was most talented Hollywood star in history. Ginger was adorable.

Ginger had amazing legs, I'd love to lick off her sweat after dance practice. I'd drink her piss if she asked too

FAIL SAFE

Especially in the latter films when she had gotten to be as good of a dancer as Fred, her legs were just breathtaking when her skirt would fly up occasionally. Shockingly gorgeous.

Also, OP, "Royal Wedding" is not as good, but this scene was filmed without any optical effects or trick photography. Amazing how they pulled it off. Is worth watching for the inventiveness, and how back in the day we would actually have practical ways to shoot 'impossible' scenes.

I loved how they used this trick for Lois and Clark in the pilot episode, he walks around the wall and ceiling to think.

Ginger was so hot.

"older"? yeah... but not OLD i mean OLD goes back to like silent movies and shit. goddamn youths!!!

I absolutely love Top Hat, but I can never really get into Swing Time for some reason. The musical numbers are all amazing but I guess I don't care about the rest of the movie, but I love all of Top Hat.

Attached: fred ginger top hat.jpg (640x786, 84K)

I felt the songs in Swing Time were terrible and not nearly as good as Top Hat. Story was better but in a musical that doesn't count for much

I'm the opposite. Both are great, but I enjoy Swing Time more than Top Hat, and think it is the 'best' of the Fred & Ginger movies, though certainly there's an argument to be made for Top Hat even though it personally leaves me a bit cold.

My favorite is actually Shall We Dance, but it's a shame they never put a dance to "Can't Take That Away From Me' in the film.

The thing that bothers me about Swing Time is that it doesn't have a song until 20 minutes in.

>Height: 5' 7"

That can't be right? Those heels are doing their job.

You have no taste.

Basically any Howard Hawks film. That man could write and direct characters, especially female characters, in a way not seen since. If you want proper believable feminine characters, look no further than films such as

Only Angels Have Wings
To Have and Have Not
His Girl Friday
Ball of Fire
The Big Sleep
Bringing Up Baby
Rio Bravo

Another director I'd really recommend is Ernst Lubitsch, whose films are all really top quality. And if you want great actors who excel in every single film they are in, there's Cary Grant, Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck and Jean Arthur to name a few.

>Ernst Lubitsch
I was trying to describe a scene in To Be or Not to Be to my friend, and in doing so I realized that I had to describe all the scenes before it to explain why the characters are in that situation. It's such an intricate film, and so so funny.

Gene Tierney's are top notch.

Oh damn. Don't think about her much. Just Laura. Looks great here though.

This has to be the most misogynistic movie I've ever watched, it's hilarious how over the top it is. How the fuck did they ever get O'Hara to ever agree to getting stripped down and spanked for our pleasure?

An excellently made movie that had the terrible misfortune of coming out the same year as an even better movie that's a comedy version of the exact same plot.

Seriously how the fuck did that happen? Kubrick is a genius.

>His Girl Friday
Cannot recommend this enough - literally the best comedy I've ever seen without a close second.

Preston Sturges never directed a bad film either. The Lady Eve and Sullivan's Travels are the biggest ones, but Hail the Conquering Hero is underrated IMO.

>Silent Era
Buster Keaton's are the best comedies of this era, I think he blows Chaplin out of the water personally. Maybe don't show her the one with the Confederacy as the good guys though.
