Death by Murder - best movie of all times! Well, The Party is more or less at the same level.

Darryl, my parents named me after the character in Laura, so I'm going to check that movie now, guess I should watch it!

Arsenic and Old Lace, and (I think) His Girl Friday are classics; non-stop good lines, humor, etc. Get the Cary Grant ones, they're the best.

The old Hepburn-Tracey movies were top notch. Those two had a chemistry both on and off camera. Wonderful!

A couple of great Audrey Hepburn movies during the 60s were Wait Until Dark and Charade.

Some of my other favorites from the 60s and 70s include:

-Guess Who's Coming To Dinner (Spencer Tracy's last movie) (1967)
-Lilies of the Field (1963)
-To Sir, With Love (1967)
-The Day of the Jackal (1973)
-The Great Escape (1963)
-Foul Play (1978) Great comedy with Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase's first movie

-Seems Like Old Times (1980) I know it's the 80s, but this is the second movie that Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase, so if you enjoy one of them, you'll enjoy both of them

-What's Up, Doc? (1972) I know it's Barbra Streisand, but there's only one song she sings, but it's a great comedy with Ryan O'Neal and Madeline Kahn's first movie

-Young Frankenstein (1974)
-Oh, God! (1977) John Denver stars in this movie
-Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
-Same Time, Next Year (1978)

Okay and some of my favorite classic movies are On Golden Pond, Yentl, Peyton Place, Tootsie, swedish movie Kapo, and Some Like It Hot.
