• A Clockwork Orange (1971) • Harvey (1950) • Escape from Alcatraz (1979) • Breaking Away (1979) • Bugsy Malone (1976) • Stealing Home (1988) Ok, so that last one isn’t a “classic” really. But it’s a sentimental favorite with charming performances from Jodie Foster, Mark Harmon and Harold Ramis Bugsy Malone is a gangster musical comedy featuring only kids. No one will pick it but I wanted to add it just because 🤪

It's a miracle they ever got this past the Hays code censors 🤣

Monte Durbin

Might I highly recommend Singin in the Rain with the iconic Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Conner. This film is AFI's highest rated musical and a great introduction to the myriad of musicals produced during MGM studios Golden era. Many of the greatest musicals ever made came from this time from the early 40s to the late 50s all made by MGM. There is a film titled, "That's Entertainment released in 1974 showcasing a lot of the stars from those musicals paying homage to these films. Not only highly informational, it's also very fun to watch.

Guston Zimasheen

The Beast from 20000 Fathoms (1953). Not sure if this is truly classic, but it has been considered one of the influences for the Godzilla films.

Gone With the Wind (1939)
