If you can’t travel right now, Roman Holiday is absolutely the next best thing. You will laugh, you will gasp, you will google “cheap tickets to Rome,” you will throw yourself back on your bed and sigh with melancholy when it is over. It’s basically the beginning of Aladdin, or one of those movies in which a ’90s actor plays a president's daughter who just wants to fit in, except with Oscar-winning acting. It’s about if Audrey Hepburn was a princess who pretended to be a normal to see the world for the day, with Gregory Peck for her guide. Roman Holiday is everything you ever dreamed of-it’s the perfect romantic comedy. You know how you think old movies are going to be all melty accents and trench coats and pearls and kissing under the moon, and the reality of old movies is that they’re often boring and really racist? You sit down to watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s, thinking you’re about to be transported to a world of chic and banter-filled meals eaten in jewelry stores, and instead you’re in this interminable mumble, which is occasionally interrupted by a man in yellow face?
And the best part? Many of our best classic movies are on Netflix.ĭo us favor, though: Don't call them the "best old movies." That'll just make us feel bad. So without further ado, we present a new take on the best classic movies ever-one that includes your black-and-white favorites but leaves room for more modern icons, like Cher Horowitz. (If it's less than 20 years old, that's basically a classic-in-training.) More important, though, it's a movie that's universally beloved or has etched its way into the fabric of culture in some significant way. Think about it: What is a classic movie, anyway? For one, it's a film that has a few years on it.
And while those are definitely some of the best classic movies you can watch, our definition is a bit broader. If someone asked you to list the best classic movies, you might rattle off titles like Casablanca, It Happened One Night, Citizen Kane, or other films from Hollywood's Golden Age. We're here to challenge your idea of what's considered a classic.
