I think you need to define what you call a classic movie. My grandkids consider anything older than they are as classic. I consider classic movies as movies before 1970.

Like them all. I would add the rest of David Leans masterpieces, Dr. Zhivago, Bridge on the River Kwai, Ryan's Daughter, A Passage to India, Hobson's Choice, Great Expectations, and Oliver Twist.

Prior to 1955, you're going to lose a lot of people. Generally movies made before people were born are not going to be their favorites. I'm the exception I like them all way back to silent movies.

This was called "An Episode of Sparrows" but became "innocent Sinners" for the US market.

If The Fugitive with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones is considered a classic, that is one of my favorite films.

God bless you and Harrison and Tommy Lee always!!!

Any movie made before you were born. However, most consider moves before 1970 as being classic but classic is not just about age. Movies that transcended time and trends, with indefinable quality are typically considered a classic.

Cool Hand Luke. The Great Escape. The Wizard of Oz. Some Like it Hot.

Casablanca, it's almost a cliche but it still resonates. On the Beach, a doomsday movie that made sense even in B&W without any special effects. To Have and Have Not, I just like vintage Bogie.

Why are you interested in what classic movies I like? I mean what's the point in having lists of hundreds of movies from people you don't even know. I can understand if you want to know why people like a movie, where it can streamed, or you want to discuss the movies, etc but just list after list of movies, what's the point it?

However, since you asked, all Bogart Movies, Movies with Sidney Greenstreet, Greta Garbo, Carol Lombard, Gregory Peck, Ginger Rogers, Greer Garson, Barbara Stanwyck, Charles Laughton, John Wayne, Barbra Streisand, Clint Eastwood, Robert Redford, Harrison Ford, and movies directed or written by Preston Sturges, Orson Welles or Carl Reiner.
