    Gone With the Wind (1939) is one of my all-time favourite movies - and novel. I just love it.

    A Day At The Races (1937). One of the best Marx films ever?

    Some Like It Hot, 1959. Not as old as some, but probably my favourite film, and Marilyn Monroe is just gorgeous! (yes I'm a girl )

    I absolutely adore that film. If you like Marilyn, check out The Seven Year Itch - she's beyond sublime in it, plus it has that iconic puffy dress scene that has been donned on so many a bag.

    Oooh I know, I just wish I could be her! Or Audrey Hepburn. It's a tough decision.

    A few from the 60s and 70s

    Superman
    Star Wars
    Rocky
    Jaws
    The Godfather

    The oldest i can think of though is probably the first Bond film Dr. No in 1962.

    Agreed! Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn are the two most beautiful women to have lived!
