Depends on my mood but some old but much loved ones are
Brief Encounter
Casablanca
African Queen ( love humpty gocart in both)
Railway children (original of course)
Pride and Predjudice (loved them all but alison Steadman is such a great Mrs Bennett)
My husband and I used to look out for Casablanca , Brief encounter at christmas time when it seemed to us to be so crazy that to celebrate christmas they put on endless war films!! now of course you can store films and record things but this was before that was possible.
