Favorite Movie Genre: Good Ol' Classics
I adore old films and some not so old. From stars like Katharine Hepburn to Fred Astaire, there are tons of must see classics. My favorite period of classics are from the early 1930s when talkies were new and different and everyone had to learn how to work with sound. Most of these were made a little bit later but all before 1960.

Le Million (1931)
It Happened One Night (1934)
Imitation of Life (1959)
Funny Face (1957)
Bringing Up Baby (1938)
The Quiet Man (1952)
His Girl Friday (1940)
Easter Parade (1948)
Roman Holiday (1953)
Holiday (1938)
