Top 5 "Oldies but Goodies" Movies

People like to tag movies from the 30's-60's as "classics" or "outdated" or maybe a tinge misogynistic- but hey if you're grandma can say all those things why can't Bogie? Well I've been labeled an old soul because 90% of the movies I watch include men chain smoking who are a good 40 years older than their leading ladies, but the clothes were exquisite and the booze endless, so kick back in your fedora and watch my Top 5 Classic Movies.

5. Gaslight- IMDB gives this Oscar winner a 7.8, and without giving away too much information Ingrid Bergman plays a perfect captive wife that'll have you questioning whether you should trust the man lying next to you.

4. Charade- A romantic comedy with a side of spy thriller, my two favorite actors Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant play characters mixed up in a government conspiracy while on the run from three men bent on revenge. A light hearted thriller that is perfect for a movie night with friends.

 3. Citizen Kane- Rosebud! This movie is considered one of the best movies ever made, but here is a warning this movie will have you clutching your cat moaning, "what's the meaning of it" . This is some seriously heavy material. A man who has everything yet nothing is a wake up call to anyone who is going through a confusing period of their life (which, for me, is every waking moment).

2. Gilda- Rita Hayworth cannot get more "40's sex goddess" than in this flick with a very sexy Glenn Ford (I know you wouldn't think that with a name like Glenn). There are some amazing dance numbers, and Gilda's untamed, indecisive, free-spirited personality is extremely relatable to moi. Highly recommended date/hang out/a-night-by-yourself movie. Honestly, this movie is great in any environment.

1. War and Peace- Do you sense a pattern? What can I say Audrey Hepburn's elfish, classy features just draw you in. As for the 3 hour epic, it's worth every minute. You will need ample amount of patience  but it's a do-it-before-you-die/you'll-sound-more-educated-if-you-said-you-watched-it movie. The acting and cinematography are highly enjoyable, so do check it out if you are interested in historical epics.
