Things are a little gloomy at the moment, so why not take a break from the drama with some films that are delightfully uplifting?

There’s nothing quite like a classic film from Hollywood’s Golden Age to put a pep in your step.

These movies are fun filled, lively and to the point; plus, if you’re new to Old Hollywood, they’re a great place to start in your discovery of classic cinema.

So settle down on the couch with some popcorn and enjoy!

Some Like It Hot

Marilyn Monroe in all her sexy, funny glory plus Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in drag is an iconic combination making for a movie not to be missed.

The Wizard of Oz

Perhaps you watched it regularly in your childhood, but you’re never too old to enjoy The Wizard of Oz!

Singin’ in the Rain

Gene Kelly proves there’s nothing more attractive than a man with rhythm in this totally addictive classic detailing the transition from silent films to ‘talkies’.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Between the outfits, accessories and lead actors that make up this film, Breakfast at Tiffany’s is vibrant and full of beautiful things to admire.

Roman Holiday

Before Breakfast at Tiffany’s there was Roman Holiday, another Audrey Hepburn favourite in which the actress’s energy is infectious.

The Pink Panther

There’s Peter Sellers at his slapstick best, the too-beautiful-to-be-true Claudia Cardinale and Robert Wagner, and an enormous pink diamond – what’s not to love?
