Best Classic Movies on Instant Netflix

Since we know so many people out there, both friends and family, that have netflix and enjoy old movies I thought I would make a quick list of my favorite classic films that are available on instant play!

1. Charade- Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Walter Matthau, James Coburn and don't forget an oscar nominated score by Henry Mancini....need I say more? This zany 60's thriller will have you laughing and sitting on the edge of your seat!

2. Arsenic and Old Lace- I can't think of enough good things to say about this movie. The Netflix summary states,"Two dotty spinsters (Josephine Hull and Jean Adair) have a peculiar avocation: helping lonely old gents by poisoning them and burying them in the cellar"...and that pretty much says it all. A hilarious movie!

3. It Happened One Night.- This used to be on instant netflix but now it is not! Maybe it will come back, because it is one of the best romantic comedies I have ever seen.

4. Harvey- James Stewart plays a man with an invisible friend who happens to be a giant bunny rabbit. A heartwarming must watch classic!

5. War and Peace- I can't tell you how excited I was when I saw this! Audrey Hepburn, Henry Fonda and Mel Ferrer. This movie is FANTASTIC!

6. Happy Go Lovely- This is one of those movies you will love if you are a fan old movies, but if not then it may not be the movie to jump in on. I usually fast forward through some of the singing and dancing because i really love the story but not so much the musical parts. Still it is worth watching!

7. Young and Innocent- Early Alfred Hitchcock thriller about a young man wrongly accused of murder and his quest to clear his name.

8. Meet Me in St. Louis- Yes, this is a musical, but please don't go running off from this movie! It is worth watching even if you traditionally don't like musicals. It is a love story starring Judy Garland and is one of my favorites!
