It's changed over the years. High Noon, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, Casablanca, Psycho, The Magnificent Seven (the original, 1960 version). I don't have one answer for that question anymore.

I love so many of the well-known classics, but a couple that fly under the radar that are also good are "The Fighting Sullivans" and "The Good Sam". My daughters were classic film buffs and even co-wrote a biography of Gene Kelly. I'm so proud of them, though one of my sweet girls passed away in 2017 and did not get to see her book on the store shelves

 

[hearlady]

Wizard of Oz comes to mind.

Too many to count. I still like Annie Hall though I'm not sure it's a classic but should be. Almost anything with Audrey Hepburn, and lots of WWII movies like Stalag 17 and Lifeboat, which remains perhaps my favorite.

 

[Pecos]

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Shane
Shenandoah
Friendly Persuasion
African Queen
Midway

 

[Chet]

Stage Coach (1939) with John Wayne
Bridge on the River Kwai

I've got way too many to list. But, there are a few that not many people of aware of that I set above many of them. Feel good movies.....

And just about any movie with Bogart of Davis in it.
