For Old Timers or fans of old time movies, list your favorite movies made before 1950. Include the date of the movie. Please don't list any movies made after 1950. Thanks!
Miracle on 34th Street
I’m not sure of the year but I loved Friendly Persuasion!
All About Eve was 1950. Can I post that one?
There are so many, but here are some (in chronological order):
The Gold Rush (1925)
Scarlet Pimpernel (1935)
Bringin up Baby (1938)
Pimpernel Smith (1941)
To be or not to be (1942)
Casablanca (1942)
Adam’s Rib (1949)
....and many, many more
“Bad Day at Blackrock”
Yes, you may. (Psst - another favorite of mine is The African Queen but it is 1951 - don’t tell anybody.)
Maltese Falcon - 1941
Casablanca - 1942
Key Largo - 1948
Great movie, but made in 1955.
The 39 Steps... great movie, with a very satisfying ending!
Shane
Stagecoach
Winchester `73
I like westerns
It Happened One Night is my moms favorite movie,Gable & Lombard, great movie
Still my all time favorite movie!
Brief Encounter ; Gaslight ; Mr. Smith Goes To Washington ; You Can’t Take it With You ; It Happened One Night .
Shane is from 1953 and Winchester 73 is from 1950.
Anyone see Battleship Potemkin? 1925. Now that is a trip. Netflix has it.
great ones!! also, thank you for your service.
They had movies before 1950? With sound?
Ninotchka, 1939.
A must-see for conservatives and libertarians.
Just to think offhand,
“Holiday” (’37?)
“The Wind” (Lillian Gish’s amazing performance)
“The Passion of Jeanne d’Arc”
“The ‘It’ Girl” (don’t know if that was it’s name)
“Rules of the Game”,
and many more, I’ve seldom listed favorites, there are so many. Citizen Kane was my favorite before Holiday, and who can forget The Third Man? Will stop now, too many.
Three of the best ever. Funny, they all seem to have something in common...
Going My Way - 1944
The Bells of St. Mary’s - 1945
