your classics, show me them

As I said yesterday, I've been on an old movie a classics kick! I'm not an expert in classic cinema, in fact there's a whole lot I've never seen. And all I have to go by is the opinions of my fellow netflixers, and those awards lists and whatnot. So I'd love to hear from you guys!

What are some of your favorite classic movies? I'm mostly looking for movies pre-70's, say, 1940-1960, but Feel free to define "classic" in whatever way makes you warm and fuzzy.

A few of my favorites:

Rebecca
Vertigo
Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison
Holiday
The Dollars Trilogy
The Diary of Anne Frank
The King and I
It's a Wonderful Life
My Fair Lady
The African Queen
The Poseidon Adventure

Yours? Here or in your journal!

or posibly, operation petticoat: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053143/

Or the two might have just blended into one in my memory...
