Oh Maggie,
I'm afraid that there's not enough room for all of my favorites 
I also love:
~Seven Brides For Seven Brothers
~State Fair (with Jeannie Crane & Dana Andrews)
~The Thin Man
~Arsenic & Old Lace
~Random Harvest (with Greer Garson and Ronald Colman)
~Talk of the Town (with Cary Grant, Jean Arthur and Ronald Colman) Very funny!
~Harvey
~You Can't Take it With You (Jean Arthur and James Stewart)
~The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (with Gene Tierney)
And of course the old Christmas Classics: Christmas in Connecticut (w/Barbara Stanwyck), White Christmas, The Bishop's Wife, Holiday Inn and It's a Wonderful Life.
We always enjoy watching the Beverly Hillbillies, Andy Griffith and I like Petticoat Junction :)

Oh gosh...any old black and white movie..especially LOVE LOVE LOVE Katherian Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant. Love most of the Hitchcock movies---just watched North by Northwest last night. Love the old musicals and I can practically re-enact anyone of them. Didn't watch much TV growing up but was allowed Lavern and Shirley and as an adult I will still catch myself watching the Gilmore Girls. I am a dork!!! : )

Ooooo! Such wonderful old movies and TV shows! I like everybody's responses!
I have to admit, I'm a sucker for an old Elvis movie. "Blue Hawaii" is my favorite. Love, Love, LOVE "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers." I also love the old Haley Mills movies. "Parent Trap," "The Trouble with Angels," and "Pollyanna" are my faves. Also like the old "Herbie" movies and "The Incredible Mr. Limpet." Right up there too with the really OLD movie classics is "The Egg and I" with Claudet Colbert. It was the original movie that gave birth to all the "Ma and Pa Kettle" classics (also favorites)
Old TV shows are--- the Orignal "Star Trek" ("The Trouble with Tribbles" was my favorite episode!!), "Kung-Fu" (Don't laugh!!), "Little House," "The Brady Bunch," "Adam 12," "Chips," "The Dukes of Hazzard," "Grizzly Adams" (yes, I loved that show too! I sooo wanted to live on that mountain and play with that big black bear!), "Flipper," "Lassie," etc....
Funny, isn't it, how we give our ages away by the TV shows we loved the best "back in the day...." (LOL!!) Oh, and I LOVED Benji! We had a dog that looked just like him when i was a kid (I was 4 or 5yrs old), only ours was a girl, AND she was black! Her name was "Snoopy." ~~ Tracy

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE!!!! I love Casablanca and ANYTHING with the love of my life Gene Kelly in it. I love all those old movies when stars really had to be stars - to sing and dance and act, all at the same time. Not I'm an actress who can't really act and can't really sing, but give me a record deal because I want one. I also LOVED Full House when it was on. I don't remember how old I was, but I remember my family used to sit down and watch it together and I thought D.J. was so cool...I wanted long hair like hers! ;-)

i absolutely adore old movies! i have a passion for frank sinatra (hey melissa, we'd be as happy as songbirds watching "on the town," "anchors aweigh," and "take me out to the ballgame" together.... gene kelly and frank sinatra *swoon*).i also love audrey hepburn,too. steve mcqueen and jimmy stewart are my other favorites... so basically anything with any of those 4 actors will keep me happy. but i'll watch just about any old movie! now that i don't have TCM, i'm bummed cause i can't watch old movies 24/7.

You know, one of my favorite old tv shows is Perry Mason. Most were as old as me but were played for years. I was so happy a while back when I found a website where you could watch old shows and movies. Your pick any time you want and there were a whole bunch of Perry Mason shows. I am a mystery nut so I also liked Macmillian and wife and Hart to Hart. This site had the hitchcock shows and twilight zone. So cool who needs a tv? I do not have one now. There are a number of shows I like to see but I can watch online. The last sitcom I liked was Coach.
if I did not mention the website is free. They even had the remake series of Dark Shadows. So Cool. I can post the link. I do not know it off the top of my head but it is bookmarked.

"It's a Wonderful Life" is one of my very favorites. I also liked "I Remember Mama," which was the about her bank account by Betty McFarland.
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
