Discuss classic films (~1973 or earlier) that will hopefully bring more awareness of them as both entertainment as well as an art form.

Myself, I watched:

The Snake Pit (1948)

Really enlightening film starring Olivia deHavilland. She did a phenomenal job. You could really imagine what it would be like to wake up in a place you had no clue how you got there in the first place. An interesting factoid about it was over 20 states changed their mental facilty regulations because of this film.

Good News (1947)

Very light musical, nice to have on in the background. Nothing too great here, but watchable. Mel Torme is in it, he was young then!
