OH BOY I feel like my heart is bursting with Christmas! I notice that more and more I'm starting to fall in love with very old movies. Which is not something I would've predicted 6 months ago. Can you recommend me some holy grails from the 40-50-60's? I have a few stored from requests that maybe I can post here too!

Wish you all amazing holidays ❤️

A couple of Bogart's films that are worth a watch are The Maltese Falcon, African Queen, and of course Casa Blanca. The Manchurian Candidate is an older film that I think you might like. I always suggest Arsenic And Old Lace around Halloween, but it isn't a horror film so it can be enjoyed anytime of the year. Hope you had a wonderful Holiday Season Mary.

One easy way to see some more major classics would be to dive into more Hitchcock (note that these are not horror like Psycho, but rather mostly thrillers): North By Northwest (1959) Notorious (1946) Rear Window (1954) Strangers on a Train (1951) To Catch a Thief (1955) Vertigo (1958) Other classics I think you would like: Bullitt (1968) Charade (1963) Double Indemnity (1944) Dr. Strangelove, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) Fistful of Dollars, A (1964) / For a Few Dollars More (1965) / Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, The (1966) Funny Girl (1968) Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967) Hustler, The (1961) In a Lonely Place (1950) Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) Laura (1944) Maltese Falcon, The (1941) Manchurian Candidate, The (1962) My Man Godfrey (1936) Night at the Opera, A (1935) Odd Couple, The (1968) Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) Paths of Glory (1957) Planet of the Apes (1968) Red Shoes, The (1948) Shot in the Dark, A (1964) Stalag 17 (1953) Thin Man, The (1934) To Be or Not to Be (1942) To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) West Side Story (1961)

Lotta great movies in that era. Some of my personal favorites (from a variety of genres): The Philadelphia Story (1940) Fantasia (1940) The Big Sleep (1946) The African Queen (1952) On the Waterfront (1954) Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) Some Like it Hot (1959) One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961) Yojimbo (1961) The Manchurian Candidate (1962) Mary Poppins (1964) Dr Strangelove (1964) In the Heat of the Night (1967)

Thanks, I had screwed up and thought the African Queen was titled River Queen. Glad you posted this.

I watch this movie every year as my Christmas tradition now I'll also add Violent Night (which is a different take on Santa)

Great Movie, nothing beats these old classics. They are so charming, so innocent and you can see some of the best Actors in Moviehistory. Sunset Blvd. Citizen Kane The Maltese Falcon Gone with the Wind Ben-Hur Lawrence of Arabia The Birds The Great Dictator (Charlie Chaplin at his best with one of the best Speeches of all time) Mary Poppins Rebel Without a Cause The Grapes of Wrath Some Like It Hot The Treasure of the Sierra Madre The Heiress Modern Times Rear Window North By Northwest Singing in the Rain To kill a Mockingbird (Masterpiece) Seven Samurai (probably the Movie that influenced modern Movies the most and an absolute Masterpiece) The Night of the Hunter The Snakepit (absolute Masterpiece and stunning performance by Olivia DeHavilland) The Adventures of Robin Hood Fistful of Dollars / For a Few Dollars More / Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, (one of the best Western Trilogies)

I also whole heartedly agree on the more Hitchcock, especially North by Northwest, Rear Window (with James Stewart, the star of It's A Wonderful Life) and Vertigo (also with James Stewart). You really can't go wrong with Hitchcock, and these three are some of his very best. Also agree with a lot of these other choices, especially Planet of the Apes (1968) which I am sure you are aware of, and Dr. Strangelove and let me suggest another Cold War comedy in the same vein as Dr. Strangelove as it took similar advantage of American Cold War paranoia to humorous effect: The Russians Are Coming The Russians Are Coming (1966).

This has always been my go to Christmas movie, Mary, and so glad you shared this with us. Having you react to Miracle and It's A Wonderful Life both this year really brightened my holiday season. But you won't be able to top it next year, lol. I knew the legal proceedings would get you in the spirit also! Macy's still sponsors the annual Christmas parade every year on Thanksgiving in New York City, and they had the actor Edmund Gween, at age 69, be the Santa Claus of the 1946 parade where they filmed scenes for this movie. I watched the parade many many times on TV over the years and it has become a very over hyped commercialized affair, until this year I watched a livestream from the street on YouTube by just a regular YouTuber and it was so wholesome to watch the parade go by without the TV network commercials and celebrity lip synching performances.

Just get it outta the way at the start, I'm not gonna pretend that most of the old movies listed below have a lot of potential to do well on YT, cuz they just don't, no matter how iconic they are. Most of the old films that do decent on YT you've already reacted to (don't worry there are still some left). However, the films below are still considered some the greatest and most iconic classic films in all of cinema. If it has potential for YT, I'll make a note of it (**). **Note: "Kramer vs. Kramer" (1979) is considered one of the best legal dramas ever made and while it was a major hit when it came out, you'll also have to treat it like "Norma Rae" (Patreon exclusive). The family law movie with Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep. 1.) Courtroom/Legal Dramas: **To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) - considered the greatest courtroom movie ever, from one of the best books ever written (we all had to read it). Based on the author's own childhood and father who was a famous lawyer. MJoy4Fun reacted to it and got 20K views, you will ADORE this film. Witness for the Prosecution (1957) - one of the most entertaining, directed by Billy Wilder, you'll love this one too Paths of Glory (1957) - both a war movie and legal drama, directed by Stanley Kubrick (The Shining, Full Metal Jacket), stars Kirk Douglas (mentioned in Adam Sandler's Hanukkah song) A Place in the Sun (1951) - based on a true story, so true crime Anatomy of a Murder (1959) - starring Jimmy Stewart (It's a Wonderful Life) Judgment at Nuremberg (1961) - true story about the Nuremberg trials with Judy Garland (Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz) 2.) Crime/Film Noir: Double Indemnity (1944) - film noir means stylish crime thrillers from the 40s/50s and this is considered by many as the greatest, directed by Billy Wilder (Witness for the Prosecution) Sunset Blvd. (1950) - also considered as the greatest film noir, directed by Billy Wilder The Killing (1956) - heist thriller from Stanley Kubrick (The Shining, Full Metal Jacket) On the Waterfront (1954) - one of the best movies period, stars Marlon Brando (the Godfather in "The Godfather") and Lee J. Cobb (bitter father from 12 Angry Men) The Maltese Falcon (1941) - Humphrey Bogart (star of Casablanca), detective story In the Heat of the Night (1967) - one of the best detective movies ever Touch of Evil (1958) - directed by and starring Orson Welles (Citizen Kane), Janet Leigh (Psycho) and Charlton Heston (Planet of the Apes), detective story In Cold Blood (1967) - one of the best true crime films ever made, it's dark though The Defiant Ones (1958) 3.) Sci-Fi (some of the most iconic ever): **Planet of the Apes (1968) - one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever, star Charlton Heston, based on a true story (has done well on YT - Mary Cherry, Jen Murray and Kazzy have gotten over 40K) **2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - considered the greatest sci-fi ever, directed by Stanley Kubrick, has done well on like 5 channels Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) - sci-fi thriller that plays out like a detective story. Others will suggest the '78 remake which is great but it doesn't do well on YT either. The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) - thought provoking and wholesome 4.) Thriller: **Rear Window (1954) - directed by Alfred Hitchcock (Psycho) and stars Jimmy Stewart (It's a Wonderful Life), the second most popular Hitchcock on YT North by Northwest (1959) - entertaining spy thriller starring Cary Grant, directed by Hitchcock, once you meet Cary Grant you'll wanna see all his movies Charade (1963) - not a Hitchcock but it completely feels like it is (many confuse it as one), stars Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn Shadow of a Doubt (1943) - Hitchcock, starring Joseph Cotten (Citizen Kane) 5.) Comedies: **Dr. Strangelove (1964) - war comedy, Cold War, by Stanley Kubrick (The Shining, Full Metal Jacket), did VERY WELL for like 4-5 channels, can give you the numbers on it later **Some Like It Hot (1959) - ranked as the funniest movie ever made (directed by Billy Wilder), 2 channels got over 20K with it, stars Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe The Apartment (1960) - rom-com, directed by Billy Wilder, stars Jack Lemmon The Odd Couple (1968) - stars Jack Lemmon The Philadelphia Story (1940) - rom-com starring Jimmy Stewart (It's a Wonderful Life) and Cary Grant Bringing Up Baby (1938) - rom-com starring Cary Grant It Happened One Night (1934) - rom-com, one of the best ever Arsenic and Old Lace (1943) - starring Cary Grant 6.) War Films: The Great Escape (1963) - true WWII story and just simply awesome, only Cassie has reacted to it and did well of course **Lawrence of Arabia (1962) - true WWI story, in the top 5 greatest films of all time, few channels have done it and did pretty good but not a guarantee, AN EPIC The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) - same director as Lawrence of Arabia, stars Alec Guiness (Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original Star Wars trilogy), another WWII epic, based on a "true-ish" story 7.) Other random genres: The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) - starring Humphrey Bogart (Casablanca), action adventure "modern western" Rebel Without a Cause (1955) - iconic teen drama starring the legendary James Dean and Natalie Wood (little girl from Miracle on 34th Street, she grew up to be a massive star) Giant (1956) - epic "modern western" drama also starring James Dean **The Good the Bad and the Ugly (1966) - epic western starring Clint Eastwood, one of the most iconic, has done super well on YT Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) - humorous western (true crime) starring Paul Newman (mentioned in Adam Sandler's Hanukkah song) and Robert Redford (All the President's Men) **The Sting (1973) - humorous crime movie also starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford, Cassie did well with it (78K), literally everyone else did like 15K (5-6 other channels). But you'll F-ING LOVE this movie! My Fair Lady (1964) - one of the best musicals ever made, stars Audrey Hepburn The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) - one of the greatest westerns ever, starring Jimmy Stewart and the legendary John Wayne (Leon dressed up as him in Leon: The Professional) The Searchers (1956) - regarded as many as the best western, starring John Wayne and Natalie Wood (little girl in 34th Street) Spartacus (1960) - true story about the slave revolt against the Roman Empire, directed by Stanley Kubrick, stars Kirk Douglas (Paths of Glory) The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) - epic drama about WWII veterans returning home Lilies of the Field (1963) - comedy drama, just a very fun entertaining and wholesome movie MORE TO COME...

Some very good titles being mentioned here. I'd definitely recommend these: SUNSET BOULEVARD (1950) - Shows that even way back then, Hollywood was already able to satirize itself. SINGIN' IN THE RAIN (1952) - Widely considered one of the greatest musicals of all time. A STAR IS BORN (1954) - Not quite the "original" version of this story, but probably the most iconic (the recent Lady Gaga movie was a remake). NOTE: Over the years, some of the footage for this movie was lost, so the version that's out there now fills in the gaps with some still images. It's a little disorienting, but the scenes are pretty brief. DR. STRANGELOVE (1964) - Hilarious and still-relevant Cold War satire And I don't know if I'd consider it a "holy grail," but one that I just like a lot is INHERIT THE WIND from 1960. It's kinda sorta based on a true story, but highly fictionalized. Still, it's a good story well-told, and with surprising frankness for its time.

Hi Marij, I'll recommend some classics for you, With Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers - Romance Comedies... with dancing, in shiny silver screen! SWING TIME (1936) TOP HAT (1935) SHALL WE DANCE (1937) THE GAY DIVORCEE (1934)

Em McG

Okay these are 3 musicals... but they're jaw dropping good, and so fun! OKLAHOMA! (1955) - The farmer and the cowman circling each other warily with jutting chins, but yet they should be friends! Curly "See that knothole a' winkin' in the light?" In a quick move he drew his revolver to demonstrate... clean as a whistle. HELLO DOLLY! (1969) - after being away for so long "...from the lights of 14th Street." She was melancholic in a personal haze... then Satchmo spoke "Well hello! Dolly, you're looking swell! It's so nice to have you back..." (Satchmo is Louis Armstrong) THE SOUND OF MUSIC (1965) - The Captain said venomously to young Rolf "You'll never be one of them!" And that's when he blew his whistle.

In her Twitch streams, she's mentioned The Sound of Music as one of the few movies she has seen pre-channel.

I know at least one of these is in that pile of unreleased movies because she has been referencing it in the YouTube videos (Singin' in the Rain -- she keeps singing "Good Morning," and in fact does it again in this full-length actually!)

Greg Nelson

PHILADELPHIA STORY—One of the earliest and best Romantic Comedies. Katherine Hepburn, Carey Grant, and Jimmy Stewart (also starring in It’s a Wonderful Life)

Let's replace that title with... MY FAIR LADY (1964) - set in London 1912 whoah, a professor wants to turn a working class girl and pass her along as high society... to ensuing hilarity as you might imagine, heh he. For some reason it was in the theater and so we watched it and I was taken aback by the performance of the dad, whoa what a character! Trivia - Stewie Griffin's voice comes from the film above. In Wall-E the VHS tape that he watches is Hello Dolly. Rod Steiger played across Marlon Brando in a really famous scene, he's there in Oklahoma lending menace and gravitas to his character Jud.
