"I can't make love to a plant"

Although Sunset Boulevard is easily my favorite Pre-60's movie of all time

My absolute favorite is 12 Angry Men. With so many people who like to play Judge, Juror, and Executor online whenever they hear a news report, I find that it holds up remarkably well today.

I don't have a favorite anything because I like things for different reasons, it could be Double Indemnity, it could be Rashomon, it could be Gojira, it could be Dr. Strangelove. I can't really chose.

I legit like Citizen Kane and not because of it's "Greatest all of time" reputation. tongue

Actually Dr Strangelove is post 60s so I made a mistake.

Stalag 17 can always get a laugh out of me. And a smile. But dang. So many great classics to consider.

"Well, nobody's perfect."

From, of course, "Some Like It Hot". A film that could not have been made in the poisonous atmosphere pervading in my country at the time, (1959 in Britain)

Well, that's why Victim was made in the UK.
