30+ Classic Movies That Are Truly Timeless (Reader's Digest)

"Classic movies have a special place in our hearts. They're trailblazers, of course—true originals that rank among the best movies of all time, have become cultural touchstones and set the bar for everything that follows. On this list, you'll find time-honored dramas, comedies, romances, action movies and sci-fi movies, as well as a few classic family movies you probably watch every year around the holidays. While people often toss around the phrase "instant classic," true classics need to be around a while to see if they actually stand the test of time. And that's exactly what you'll find here: amazing films that were all made before 1970. We based our choices on each film's impact on cinematic history, its status as an award winner or cult classic, and its ability to transcend the decades since it was released. So, settle in for a trip back in time as we explore the classic movies that really never get old." - rd.com
