Seven Brides for Seven Brothers— the songs, the characters, the dresses!!! and the dance scene at the barn raising have always stuck with me.
Breathless by Goddard
It's so artistic and experimental and the whole feel is so abstract. It feels like when you're just letting your mind wander.
The coolest thing to me about breathless is how interesting and realistic the characters are but also how the point of the whole movie is something you can think about for a long time. It's a surprisingly rewatchable movie.
If you're into that sort of thing
Depending on when you draw the lines, I think either The Third Man or Twelve Angry men. Both fantastic movies that use all SORTS of interesting cinematographic tricks that you don't notice at the time, but which make it more compelling when you do.

I'm quite the pre-1960s movie buff and really adore the films of earlier eras, especially the Silent Era.
Some of my favourites in the Golden Age are:
Angels With Dirty Faces (1938)
The Adventure of Robin Hood (1938
Shanghai Express (1932)
Cleopatra (1963)There were so many great ones. The "Golden Age" is an apt appellation.
I like Casablanca a lot. But I think my favorite is The Quiet Man. It makes me laugh my ass off.
I could go on and on, but I'll leave it at that.
Actually, I'll name one more absolute favorite. Hell's Angels (1930).I didn't know the 1960s were the "Golden Age" or even part of the Golden Age. Don't get me wrong, there are films of the era that I look back on fondly but there were better movies in the 1970s and the cinema had better attendances in the 1930s.
I don't know. What is considered the golden era?
Based on what movie I've watched... and enjoyed... the most times, it would have to be "The Wizard of Oz", not only a classic story but also one of the first films in color.
The Sound of Music, The Magnificent Seven, and Ten Commandments. I watched like maybe 40 minutes of The Seven Year Itch and it didn't seem very good, which is probably why the critics hated it.
Wizard of Oz, Shirley Temple films (Heidi, Little Princess, etc), The Parent Trap, and The Birds. I’d like to finish North By Northwest
So many good movies. Maybe El Dorado with John wayne, Robert Mitchum and James Caan. Every time it is on Grit i have to watch it
Don’t Jake, it’s Chinatown.
Casablanca or Roman Holiday
To Catch a Thief is good too
The Rocky movies, Braveheart, etc. etc. so many out there
angels with dirty faces, that and public enemy were my fave james cagney films
The Wizard of Oz I just love those corny costumes
I love white Christmas
I would like to see that movie
Casablanca was pretty good.
To Kill a Mockingbird
It’s a Wonderful life obviously.
Rear Window.
