Oldies!
Everyone wants to talk about all the new movies that are going to come out. But what about all the great old school movies? What are your favorites?
Just to list a few of my oldies:
Cool Hand Luke
Hustler
The Long, Hot Summer (basically anything with Paul Newman)
Paris Blues
For a Few dollars more (most of Clints movies)
Rear Window
Pillow Talk
Dr. Jekyll Mr Hyde-Black and white version
I can't quite think of the rest right about now, but I'll name some more later.

Oooh, Rear Window is one of my favorite movies!
But let's not forget Harvey. No matter how many times I watch that, I have to smile.
And just about every musical that was made into a movie back in the day--Singing in the Rain, Hello Dolly, The Music Man. I love musicals.

Pyscho.
And I don't know if these count as old-school (they are to me, but that's because they're also older than me (if I remember correctly, anyway)), but the Monty Phyton movies are great.

So many great movies mentioned already...
The King and I
My Fair Lady
Arsenic and Old Lace
12 Angry Men
And I still love all the old Hayley Mills movies I saw as a kid.
A Pyromaniac's Love Story isn't what I would consider an oldie, but I feel it deserves a mention.
