Great classic films to watch now

Looking to sit down with a good movie to take your mind off things? Then choose one of these great American films, selected by the Viewtale review team, and get your popcorn popping!

Top Hat by Mark Sandrich

It's not just that the Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers dances are spectacular, which they are, this is also the funniest of all the dance musicals. The songs are by Irving Berlin and include "Cheek to Cheek," "Isn't It a Lovely Day (to be Caught in the Rain)?" and "Top Hat, White Tie and Tails."

Stagecoach by John Ford

There were Westerns before "Stagecoach," but every Western after it was influenced by it. A young John Wayne is the white-hatted prisoner who first fights a band of Indians and then outlaws while winning the heart of the fallen Claire Trevor, who has the requisite heart of gold.

Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks

Just about every joke — and there are a lot of jokes — works in this inspired parody of "Frankenstein" and the horror movies made by Universal Pictures in the 1930s.
