A friend of mine wants me to give her a list of classic movies to watch because she hasn't seen many older films. I've got a few in mind that I think are 'must sees'
King Kong, Citizen Kane, All About Eve, Now Voyager, GWTW
Any other suggestions? They don't have to be as big as King Kong and GWTW, but really good, older movies.
I think she's already seen Clueless.

Re: Classic Movies post
Roman Holiday is my favorite old movie.
Bringing Up Baby got Mr M over his "b&w = boring" hang up.
Arsenic and Old Lace is one of my favorite Xmas movies.
The racism gets harder to look past ever year, but Breakfast at Tiffany's is otherwise perfect.
The Thin Man.
It Happened One Night.If she's political at all Mr Smith Goes to Washington.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
To Have and Have Not
Suspicion
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House
The African Queen
Topper
Roman Holiday is good, but we watched it the same night as Once and Mr M just about bawled.
Mr M is a soft touch for unrequited (unrequitable?) love.

I would add to the "must see" list Casablanca, Giant, Butterfield 8, Anything Doris Day/Rock Hudson, Some Like it Hot, and The Best Years of our Lives, off the top of my head. Also, I am lazy and would just point her toward the Criterion Collection.
Casablanca
The Thomas Crown Affair (not sure it's "classic" but i have to watch it every time it comes on TV)
Desk Set, To Kill a Mockingbird
ETA: Sabrina

This was on TCM recently - I totally DVR'ed it. As an architect I found it fascinating. :-) I wish you could build a huge house in the country for $20,000 these days!
so you mean for REAL classic and not Back to the Future, Goonies, Heathers, etc? : )
I'm partial to West Side Story and if she likes a good foreign film, Roshoman is one of my favorite movies of all time.
This is the only movie I have seen in this entire post.
And now I want to go watch reruns of Bewitched because of PP's names.
Thank god for Mashed because up until that point I was feeling like uncultured swine. Now I know there are two of us!
Brett got me Casablanca for Christmas because he couldn't stand being married to someone who hadn't seen it anymore.
The nerve!

Every time I see her post I think the same thing.
