Observations

Old Movie Favorites

I have spent quite a bit of time over the past few years watching old movies from the ’30s and 40’s. As a result, I really do believe that they “don’t make them like that anymore.” I’d like to share a few of my favorites, some of which will be instantly recognizable and others which may not be so.

  • All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)
  • Blonde Crazy (1931)
  • City Lights (1931)
  • Grand Hotel (1932)
  • Footlight Parade (1933)
  • It Happened One Night (1934)
  • Top Hat (1935)
  • The 39 Steps (1935)
  • Modern Times (1936)
  • Lost Horizon (1937)
  • You Can’t Take It with You (1938)
  • Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
  • Rebecca (1940)
  • The Philadelphia Story (1940)
  • The Shop Around the Corner (1940)
  • The Mortal Storm (1940)
  • The Maltese Falcon (1941)
  • Now, Voyager (1942)
  • Casablanca (1943)
  • Notorious (1946)
  • The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)
  • The Big Sleep (1946)
  • Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
  • It’s a Wonderful Life (1947)
  • The Third Man (1949)
  • A Letter to Three Wives (1949)

Whether it be a comedy or a drama, these movies provide great insights into life and I’d highly recommend them.
