Hubs and I are getting through all of Mel Brooks films right now. Started with The Producers then did The Twelve Chairs last night which was darn good and I'd never seen it!
I'd add everything Mel Brooks to the list!
Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstein
Spaceballs
History of the World
Robin Hood Men in Tights

oh! You reminded me to find my “Mel Brooks Collection” boxed set. No original producers, but it has: blazing saddles, high anxiety, history of the world part 1, men in tights, twelve chairs, to be or not to be, silent movie and young Frankenstein.

I agree with all of these but I want to mention 2 old ones that many might not have watched, now is your time Casablanca and African Queen

And they come together on a blu ray.

Casablanca is amazing.

My first thought, too. Pretty much the perfect movie.

Maybe one day I'll watch the "La Marseillaise" scene and not get choked up, but today is not that day.

My favorite oldie that I watch every time its on tv is Rear Window. Has to be the original with Jimmy Stewart & Grace Kelly tho. Not the remake with Christopher Reeves.
