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.
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
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
Here you go .........sorry for the Japanese subtitles

No...it's because you posted about your mums hair being like that under the aunt Clara vid

Recall watching Oliver many times - another Mark Lester film that i enjoyed was Run Wild Run Free - although i think i only ever saw it once...

I remember them well.
Yeah, sorry about the off topic!
Back on track, there are some old films that I will always watch over and over again. Not necessarily dig out the dvd, but if they're on the tv then I'm going to have to sit and have a look.
Films like The Apartment, The Odd Couple (previously mentioned), anything with Bogart, Crawford, James Stewart, Cary Grant and David Niven.
Kes - i must have watched this many times on TV during thr 1980's.
ohhh, just recalled a film we used to love - Ring of Bright Water

Weren't they the original Kinky boots as worn (and copied from) Mary Quant?
Soozy, I know the song, I just didn't equate it with that show

I remember them well.
I vaguely recall mum wearing them with shoes with a heeyoooge buckle on them
Oooh yeah Kes and Ring of Bright Water
and Born Free ......and (sob, sob) The Incredible Journey ...............LOVE IT!
Whistle Down The Wind and Sky West And Crooked.
Both starring Hayley Mills - I thought she was fab when I was a kid.
Ohhh, a film from when I was a bit older that has always stuck in my memory - Cal .
Gawd, I feel old.

I haven't seen it in yonks, but I know I liked it (maybe because of Hayley Mills). McShane wasn't too harsh on the eyes either
Whistle Down The Wind was a better film tbh.
To Kill A Mockingbird - one of my all time faves.
Gregory Peck was never better.
Boo Radley scared the bejabus out of me and in the blink of an eye, he'd had a career change and was Don Corleone's consigliere!

Father of the bride
Up The Junction ......considered very risque in it's time.
I also remember my older cousin going to the cinema to see 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane' and 'Rosemary's Baby' - I so wanted to be grown up and see those sort of films.

Aye!
A Taste of Honey with Rita Tushingham was another film in the same sort of style as Up The Junction.
This Happy Breed with Robert Newton; set in Clapham during the war.
My dad loves that film 'cos he recognised a lot of the location.
