Because I work from home, I have the tv on all the time. I usually either binge a series or watch movies. Lots and lots of movies. Recently I've been drawn to old movies like What Ever Happened To Baby Jane, 12 Angry Men, etc. What are some of your favorites, provided you watch old movies of course. ;-)
 
The Innocents
Shadow of a Doubt
Rebecca
The Magnificent Ambersons

Play Misty for Me is not as old as these, but still pretty old, and pretty hilarious!
 
Ahh Rebecca....love that movie.

And Then There Were None
Imitation of Life (awesome movie)
Jane Eyre
Weuthering Heights
An Affair to Remember
The Sullivans
Mildred Pierce

And a little later and a little lighter is:

Cheaper by the Dozen (the original from 1950)

MJ

It pains me to see what some are calling "old movies." It's hard for me to call a movie from the 70s like The Sting an "old movie." Hits a little too close to home. :D
Looking at some movies before 1950:
Casablanca
John Ford's cavalry trilogy (Fort Apache, She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, Rio Grande)
Stagecoach
Gone With The Wind
The Philadelphia Story
It Happened One Night
Yankee Doodle Dandy
Double Indemnity
Mrs. Miniver
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington
It's A Wonderful Life
