Great suggestions. Some more stylish ones from me: The Big Sleep (Bogart/Bacall, obvs. I spent quite a part of my 20s wanting to be like Lauren Bacall and wanting a strong silent boyfriend before realising the error of my ways), The Thomas Crown Affair (McQueen/Dunaway, for the avoidance of doubt), Rear Window. Also at least one idiotic creature feature (I've got Jurassic World Dominion recorded on the TiVo for precisely this purpose).
I love it! Thanks, Gemma! Of course you're right, all Hitchcock movies are very stylish. I would go for 'Dial M for Murder' because Grace Kelly, of course. And who *doesn't* want to be Lauren Bacall. But a silent boyfriend - while at times desirable - might get a bit dull after a while...
Great recs! For more cozy nostalgia, I would add Now Voyager, Rebecca (the Hitchcock one), and I capture the Castle (both the book and the movie). Enjoy your champagne 🍾
Oooh these are all *great* reccs. I haven't read 'I Capture the Castle' since I was a child - I absolutely loved it. What a brilliant time to pick it up and re-read.

Reading ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ has just reminded me of the Morecambe and Wise sketch of the iconic scene and I feel vastly more cheerful.
How can people hate musicals!!? (those 1930s Fred and Gingers are the best. I love Swingtime!)
Right? I'm sick of people hating on musicals.

I can't tell if you're joking or if you're being mean but no... nope. Just me!
Neither being “mean” nor joking. Just rather taken aback by you being you, I suppose.
You think reading this is bad, imagine what it's like *living in this brain*!
