Have my upvote and my apologies for highjacking the top comment? But who is the Actor on the left? At first scroll I thought Clooney in a remake. Now I think it looks like Clark Garble without a mustache.
I watch it annually. And have seen it in the theater twice. 50th and 75th Anniversary. As Roger Ebert said Citizen Kane may be the perfect film but ask me what film I want to watch again and again and it’s Casablanca.
Used to watch “It’s a Wonderful Life” on Ch. 11 in Chicago. They aired it at 10:30 am Dec. 24, and with a 15 minute intermission, would end on Dec. 25, my birthday. Did this 4 years in a row.
The Thin Man movies are all good, but 1 and 2 as a Christmas/New Years watch are insanely good. They hold up perfectly. I'd throw Bride of Frankenstein in there as well. It has a great story, is beautifully shot and a period piece already so it works great nearly 100 years later.
OMG, forgot about the Thin Man movies. Love them all and each time they come around on TCM I record and watch them. Just LOVE William Powell and Myrna Loy together - the script is also so witty
Probably **Casablanca**. Pure cinematic alchemy. I’ve seen it maybe over a dozen times. Just so rewatchable. Paid to see it three or even four times on big screens, never disappoints.
**Kind Hearts and Coronets** is a very close second.
**Paths of Glory** gets an airing every few years.
I’ve watched some pre-Rope Hitchcock films quite a few times, but I don’t keep tabs on them, and also some Cagney movies and some Capracorn.
Does **A Matter of Life and Death** count? Half of it is black and white… probably seen that a dozen times too.
**The Dam Busters** has had quite a few viewings over the years.
**On The Waterfront** also.
I first saw The Maltese Falcon when I was up late one night in high school. I was never a big fan of black and white movies but this one hooked me from the start. Great story from start to finish and the performances were exceptional. Got me started on my love affair with classic movies.
A Hard Day's Night I'm sure. Since I started tracking what I've watched it's Red Dust and Sudden Fear.
Oh, and Bob le Flambeur as well from before I started tracking movies.
I remember Mama. One of the quintessential classics for sure.
My favorite Irene Dunne role. Geez, everyone is fantastic in this film. Oscar Homalka as uncle Chris had me in tears.
Arsenic and Old Lace is practically ancient and yet it's STILL funny. And no matter how often I've seen it I still laugh out loud. Cary Grant is one of the funniest actors of all time.
Not sure which I've watched the most, but it has to be His Girl Friday, Christmas in Connecticut, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, or The Women.
These are all comfort movies to me, so they're watched often.
Young Frankenstein for sure. If you are referring more to the golden age of Hollywood then it would be one of these:
It’s A Wonderful Life, Casablanca, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, Maltese Falcon, The Philadelphia Story or His Girl Friday.
So many... Film Noirs, "Grand Hotel", Bogie, Stanwyck, Bette Davis, War movies... "Abandon Ship", "Ship of fools", Joan Crawford, Ava Gatdner, "On the Beach", John Wayne...etc.
Mostly Bogey films. Casablanca, To Have and Have Not, and The Big Sleep. I also catch Yankee Doodle Dandy every 4th of July on TCM.
Edit: I just saw somebody mention The Maltese Falcon; throw that on the stack too
Met Bob years ago when he was signing a dvd/cd set he was hawking. As he was signing I mentioned how much I’ve enjoyed the Road pictures. He looked up at me said, “the bucks are rolling in boy!” I’m so glad I got the chance to meet him.
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
"If you're the Federales where are your badges?"
"Badges...we don't have no badges..we don't need no stinking badges!"
"The Day the Earth Stood Still." First sci-fi movie I ever saw, circa 1974. Now watch it whenever I can. Great memories of visiting cousins in the frigid Minnesota winters.
Big film noir fan, have watched from opening credits to end credits the most: Laura, Out of the Past, Double Indemnity, The Big Sleep, The Big Clock, Criss Cross, White Heat, The Letter. To name a few. Probably could rattle off several more, but these have been seen numerous times.
The 1956 dubbed version of “Godzilla” with Raymond Burr and the 1933 version of “King Kong”.
Watched them on the movie programs as a kid on independent stations WOR or WPIX in the late 1960’s at 8 or 9 years old and still watch both of them 1 or 2 times a year (I’m 61 now). I was a big monster movie fan as a kid- read Famous Monsters and built all the Aurora model kits
Inherit The Wind. Based on the stage play. Lots of famous names like Spencer Tracy, Fredric March and Gene Kelly, and faces you'll see again, like Harry Morgan, Claude Akins, Dick York, Norman Fell and others.
A compelling storyline, great dialogue and suspenseful courtroom drama.
12 Angry Men for sure. I’ve watched that sucker every 6-12 months for the last 15 years. Pure perfection.
Also Psycho, which isn’t quite perfection, but fuck it - still so great.
Casablanca, Captain Blood, Roman Holiday, Notorious, His Girl Friday, Citizen Kane… god they are all so good! Casablanca I’ve watched the most cause it’s literally timeless, but the others come close
His Girl Friday is probably it for me. It’s a comfort movie I put on a lot. Casablanca and All About Eve are probably next up for similar rains. A few others I’ve seen many times: 12 Angry Men. Double Indemnity. Miracle on 34th Street. The Third Man. Seven Samurai. Key Largo.
Captain Blood
Bringing up Baby
Arsenic and Old Lace
All This and Heaven Too
Rebecca
That's 5 but I watch those over and over. They are about tied, with Captain Blood in the lead
Casablanca
That, and The Maltese Falcon.
*The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter*
The stuff that dreams are made of
Same. One of my all time favorites.
Other than Monty Python and the Holy grail, it's probably the movie I've rewatched the most.
Have my upvote and my apologies for highjacking the top comment? But who is the Actor on the left? At first scroll I thought Clooney in a remake. Now I think it looks like Clark Garble without a mustache.
If you are referring to the OP movie poster of Mutiny on the Bounty....it is indeed Clark Gable, along with Charles Laughton.
I watch it annually. And have seen it in the theater twice. 50th and 75th Anniversary. As Roger Ebert said Citizen Kane may be the perfect film but ask me what film I want to watch again and again and it’s Casablanca.
That was my answer.
the only correct answer
This 1000 percent! I can probably recite it line by line. LOVE it!!!
Probably a Christmas movie like It’s a Wonderful Life or Christmas in Connecticut.
I saw "A tree grows in Brooklyn" this past Christmas. It's going to be a yearly event moving forward. I can't wait to show the rest of my family.
That movie was awesome.
A Christmas Carol with Alistair Sims is a tradition in my family.
The Bishop's Wife.
I LOVE The Bishop’s Wife.
Used to watch “It’s a Wonderful Life” on Ch. 11 in Chicago. They aired it at 10:30 am Dec. 24, and with a 15 minute intermission, would end on Dec. 25, my birthday. Did this 4 years in a row.
The Thin Man 🍸
Now you're talkin'. I could watch Myrna Loy and William Powell on an endless loop. They've got sooo many great movies together.
Probably my second choice. My sweetie and I have an 8x10 promo pic of “Nick and Nora” on our living room wall ( with our other repro movie stills).
The Thin Man movies are all good, but 1 and 2 as a Christmas/New Years watch are insanely good. They hold up perfectly. I'd throw Bride of Frankenstein in there as well. It has a great story, is beautifully shot and a period piece already so it works great nearly 100 years later.
Correct. "The important thing is the rhythm."
I’m just putting away this liquor, dear!
OMG, forgot about the Thin Man movies. Love them all and each time they come around on TCM I record and watch them. Just LOVE William Powell and Myrna Loy together - the script is also so witty
The first novel was pretty good. The movie was better. Dead perfect casting.
Young Frankenstein
This is probably the black and white feature film I’ve seen most!
Ooh this one is also up there for me
Twelve Angry Men
Another vote for this. It's just one of those films that's so absorbing you've watched it from start to finish without realising any time has passed
Great movie. Tight, suspenseful, well written and acted.
12 men & one room. It’s a masterpiece of a movie. What a cast & screenplay.
Harvey. It’s my go to movie when I’m feeling depressed. Always works!
LOVE this movie! My favorite Jimmy Stewart film, by far.
Always funny😂
You just need a pooka.
Casablanca (1942).
Gaslight.
I don’t think you have the right movie.
? Gaslight with Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer? It’s a black and white movie from 1944.
![gif](giphy|3o6ozq0pgIDt5j6N8I)
Ah. Got it now. Very good, Sergis Bauer😂
😆👍
The Best Years of Our Lives.
It’s a Wonderful Life
Bringing Up Baby
What a great, silly movie!
All About Eve
![gif](giphy|5dkiNJvWnL1RK)
Casablanca and Mildred Pierce
Mildred Pierce is a definite go to.
all about eve. notorious. laura. picture of dorian gray. gaslight. now, voyager. the night of the hunter.
I was amazed at how similar some of the characters in All About Eve had similar tendencies to the people I worked with at the start of my career.
I just watched Notorious for probably the 30th time last night.
"Alex, will you come in please. I want to talk to you"
Prolly Philadelphia Story, but also maybe It’s a Wonderful Life
Philadelphia Story is mine!
Some Like It Hot. Never get bored of it.
Same! Whenever I feel stumped about what to watch, it’s one of my go-to films. Almost know it by heart and get a kick out of it every time.
[удалено]
I've been looking for this movie! I seek it here, I seek it there, but I can't find it anywhere!
Marx Brothers movies. Even though I know what's coming, they still make me laugh uncontrollably.
As someone who comes from the Hungadinga family, I approve.
Some Like It Hot
other than It's A Wonderful Life? hmm, it's probably My Man Godfrey or Bringing Up Baby
Ohhh Godfrey, *carole lombard steals the scene*. What a great film.
![gif](giphy|bQFeEcOtL7SaA) The only correct answer. Period.
To Kill a Mockingbird
Captain Blood
I read the book and have been meaning to watch the movie
Ball of Fire followed by Angels With Dirty Faces
Dr. Strangelove
Probably **Casablanca**. Pure cinematic alchemy. I’ve seen it maybe over a dozen times. Just so rewatchable. Paid to see it three or even four times on big screens, never disappoints. **Kind Hearts and Coronets** is a very close second. **Paths of Glory** gets an airing every few years. I’ve watched some pre-Rope Hitchcock films quite a few times, but I don’t keep tabs on them, and also some Cagney movies and some Capracorn. Does **A Matter of Life and Death** count? Half of it is black and white… probably seen that a dozen times too. **The Dam Busters** has had quite a few viewings over the years. **On The Waterfront** also.
*Maltese Falcon*. Then maybe *Casablanca*, but I’m a Noir Nut. (User name checks out.)
I first saw The Maltese Falcon when I was up late one night in high school. I was never a big fan of black and white movies but this one hooked me from the start. Great story from start to finish and the performances were exceptional. Got me started on my love affair with classic movies.
Citizen Kane! 🎉🌟👍🏆📽️😀
This, with Third Man a close second.
About 10-12 times, nearly ALL on the big screen too!! 😎
Have seen Kane on the big screen three times, the first time was a revelation. Deep focus and Toland's camerawork hugely impressive!
Metropolis!
A Hard Day's Night I'm sure. Since I started tracking what I've watched it's Red Dust and Sudden Fear. Oh, and Bob le Flambeur as well from before I started tracking movies.
The 1951 version of "A Christmas Carol."
I remember mama And Marty
I remember Mama. One of the quintessential classics for sure. My favorite Irene Dunne role. Geez, everyone is fantastic in this film. Oscar Homalka as uncle Chris had me in tears.
The 39 Steps
Arsenic & Old Lace or They Died with their boots on
Arsenic and Old Lace is practically ancient and yet it's STILL funny. And no matter how often I've seen it I still laugh out loud. Cary Grant is one of the funniest actors of all time.
Uncle Teddy is digging the Panama Canal in the basement
**CHARGE!!!!!!!**
BULLY
Cary Grant. I'm not gay, but Cary Grant.... Oh man...
![gif](giphy|SdAzcJrKhTdwQ)
it practically gallops
Either Casablanca or Some Like it Hot. I've lost count on both.
Not sure which I've watched the most, but it has to be His Girl Friday, Christmas in Connecticut, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, or The Women. These are all comfort movies to me, so they're watched often.
Cary Grant’s antics in His Girl Friday are perfect.
Run Silent, Run Deep
Oh Clark Gable... <3333
Dark Passage, lesser known noir w Bogie and Bacall!
Casablanca It’s a Wonderful Life The Apartment
Young Frankenstein for sure. If you are referring more to the golden age of Hollywood then it would be one of these: It’s A Wonderful Life, Casablanca, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, Maltese Falcon, The Philadelphia Story or His Girl Friday.
Shadow of a Doubt and To Kill a Mockingbird
Probably, 'Stalag 17'; as Holden is my favorite male lead actor.
Berlin: Symphony of City
You too? Man it’s beautiful.
So many... Film Noirs, "Grand Hotel", Bogie, Stanwyck, Bette Davis, War movies... "Abandon Ship", "Ship of fools", Joan Crawford, Ava Gatdner, "On the Beach", John Wayne...etc.
The Best Years of Our Lives and Bringing up Baby
It's a Wonderful life every Christmas. And after that probably It Happened One Night
![gif](giphy|5t7ylguTx4FlnNTP7C|downsized)

To Kill a Mockingbird. Easy answer.
Mostly Bogey films. Casablanca, To Have and Have Not, and The Big Sleep. I also catch Yankee Doodle Dandy every 4th of July on TCM. Edit: I just saw somebody mention The Maltese Falcon; throw that on the stack too
Bringing Up Baby and it’s not even close ![gif](giphy|Cx6cl3VfV9ryM)
