Well, since seven of my ten favorite movies were made before I was born...let me punch out the newer movies from the list and give a "classic top ten", using 1980 as my cutoff date.
In no particular order, except for #1.
1. The Wizard Of Oz
2. Casablanca
3. Citizen Kane
4. Rio Lobo
5. Any of the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals, but especially Oklahoma!
6. Elmer Gantry
7. Shane
8. The Day the Earth Stood Still
9. Blazing Saddles
10. Fantasia
I'd like to think Jack would enjoy sitting down and watching some movies with me.

Here's one I like:
"JOHNNY COME LATELY" starring James Cagney. He co-produced it with his brother and it has the only film appearance of famed American stage actress
Grace George (who did it for Cagney). Also included is featured Marjorie Main as 'Gashouse Mary', Marjorie Lord (Danny Thomas Show), Margret Hamilton and Hattie McDanial.
This is really a wonderful old movie and worth seeking out.

Trivia note:
In 1986 Cary Grant was at the now Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ. He said the scene where Victor McLaglen knocked him out in the film really happend. Vic threw the punch a little wider and "POW"! They kept it in the film.
Just giving it all for the home team!
What about SOYLENT GREEN...[SPOILER]Its made of...people!![/SPOILER]

I forgot On the Waterfront with Marlon Brando. There are way to many to name, but I keep forgetting ALL OF THEM. Like Gentlemen Prefere Blondes, How to Marry an Millionair(?), The Seven Year Itch, The court Jester, A Wonderful Year, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers(the danceing numbers, mostly. LOVE UM!) Fred and Ginger movies, Shirley Temple movies(though I like the remake of A Little Princess better), anything with Roy Rogers, The (original Parent Trap, Pollyanna, Bringing up Baby, Guys and Dolls, Monkey Business, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and I like Hitchcock.
Old TV shows I have on tape and like: Little Rascles, anything with Roy Rogers, Star Trek(because it is SO dumb, though do love the Mad cartton, spock"Captain, I can't belive my ears!" "I can't believe your ears either, Spock"), All in the Family(with Meathead)and the Ed Sullivan Show.
Plus, I LOVE all of those old cartoons, like Betty Boop, Popeye, Felix the Cat, and the like.
