I'm with Syd; it was Saturday morning pictures for us as kids - d@mned if I can remember what we watched, although I used to get really rattled because there was ALWAYS a cowboy film for the boys before the main film.

I used to like Saturday afternoons with my mum or nan.  We'd watch all the old b&w classics like Now Voyager with Bette Davis, or the Marx Bros as has already been mentioned.

Musicals were always a favourite, especially if Fred 'n Ginger cut a rug.

I was brought up on a diet of:

 

Carry On Films

James Bond Films

Clint Eastwood Films (Still a big fan of his work)

Anything Science Fiction

Spoof films like Our Man Flint / In Like Flint, My Name is Trinity.

 

Other films I saw as a youngster and like are (in no particular order):

 

Ipcress Files

The Graduate

The Italian Job

Ocean's Eleven

Some Like It Hot

The Apartment

The Odd Couple

Get Carter

Dark Star

Once Upon a Time in the West

Alfie

... and there are probably many more, but my minds going blank,

 

I remember being taken to see 2001 A Space Odyssey, did not have a clue what it was about, I was but a child! Although I have it in my collection now.

There were also horsey films too

 

My Friend Flicka and stuff like that.

 

 

Anyone remember Melody (originally called SWALK) Jack Wilde and Mark Lester .......bee Gees soundtrack ...........CLASSIC

She refused to watch any Disney stuff until I was a teen and that was because I'd vetted Jungle Book beforehand for her 

 

Snow White terrified the life out of her (and still does)

Oooo! That was a 'dark' film too

Yes, I sort of do but I'd forgotten it was the Bee Gees soundtrack! 

 

White Horses was a favourite but I think it was because we all sang along with the feme toon

Oooooooooh you had a glamourous mum .......................my mum was/is more Hilda Ogden 

I did She was all big hair and miniskirts  

Awww.

My mum had the blonde flick-out hairstyle.  She used to be on the same train home as me when I was at secondary school.  I'd get off and wait on the platform for her, and all the boys from my school would hang out the window wolf whistling her.  She even used to stop and chat with them (bloody annoying!) all charming like.

Even more annoying when you're a 5'6" gangly girl in school uniform standing next to a petite little blonde bird
