Yesterday, Coudal Partners took suggestions of classic movies to help educate one of their number who doesn't like "old" movies. One of the nice things about old movies is that sometimes they've fallen out of copyright and are available for free. You like free, don't you? These movies from the list they assembled are all available for viewing and/or downloading at the Internet Archive:
Here's the rest of the list they came up with:
- 12 Angry Men
- 5000 Fingers of Dr. T
- A Face In The Crowd
- A Fistful of Dollars
- Adam's Rib
- All About Eve
- Anatomy of a Murder
- Arsenic and Old Lace
- The Big Sleep

- Charade*
- Double Indemnity

* I had linked to this, but as Mr. Smith points out, Nancy is surely referring to the 1963 Cary Grant movie.

I was hoping Charade was this one, but sadly, no:

Oh, I suppose that makes a lot more sense that that would be the Charade that Nancy was referring to.
