Anyone who knows me knows that I am a sucker for classic movies. Give me some black and white, digitally remastered or musicals and I am so pumped and ready to sit without moving for two or more hours. I LOVE old movies.

I thought I would take this time to share some of my favorites. Maybe you have seen them all, but maybe you haven’t seen any of them and you’ll end up finding your new favorite movie.

Here goes nothing:

1. "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

This is my “feel good but not sure why” movie. When I am having a bad day, I can usually be found re-watching this movie. It is the story of Holly Golightly, her friend who she calls Fred, and her cat that she doesn’t actually own named Cat because giving the cat a name would mean she is taken ownership of said cat. Why do I love this movie? Because I think all of us have a little Holly Golightly in us and each of us have a bit of the protective and noble actor “Fred” in us…hopefully, we are not a male escort though.

2. "Casablanca"

“Easy to Enter but much harder to leave” Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman star in a love story that is more about personal happiness versus the cost of other people’s lives. It is a must see in my opinion.

3. "Singing in the Rain"

This movie just makes me happy. Like really, who doesn’t love Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, and Donald O’Conner? The story of silent films moving into the age we know of actually being able to hear what is going on in the movies. It is filled with singing, dancing, someone who thinks they are in love, two people who are actually in love, and me wondering why I wasn’t alive when Donald or Gene were because they are dreamy.

4. "How to Steal a Million"

Okay, so you may not learn how to steal a million but you will enjoy this one. Audrey Hepburn stars…so enough said right? But really, it is an incredible story of an art thief that is really an agent trying to catch an art forger that is pretending to be an art thief and falls for a girl who is trying to prevent her father’s forged art from being stolen and found out to be fake….whew that was a lot but for real -you should watch it

5. "To Kill a Mockingbird"

My all time favorite book was made into a movie and it could not have been a better one. I love the story of Scout and her adventures. Atticus, Scout, Jem, the Radley clan, and the battle between what is right and what is wrong. There are such amazing life lessons in this one and I have seen it way too many times.

So that it's it, my top favorites and the best of the best...though there are so many more that are I could have noted. Maybe I'm just a classic movie junkie.
