For my family, it was The Caddy. Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, 1953. Normally I'm not a big fan of Martin and Lewis, but this comedy has it all... wit, plot, drama, romance, music, charm, and great one-liners.
I watched it last night with my husband, and instantly I was transported back to my happy youth. All of the lines came back to me and I was quoting it again with fervor and feeling.
What are your family's favorite films?

Oh we have lots of them. I love The Labyrinth and The Sound of Music. When I was little we had theme weeks and would watch a movie every night related to that theme. It was a great way to spend enjoy a hot summer evening. Alfred Hitchcock was a favorite for those weeks. We also did Shirley Temple, foreign films, musicals, etc.
Ours are too numerous to mention, but we have the first 3 seasons of Green Acres on DVD and have watched them so many times that we know every episode by heart.
My favorite Lisa Douglas (Eva Gabor) quote:
"Behind every good man, there is a good woman standing in front of him."
That is a GREAT movie. Glad it took you back to your youth. I still love "The Music Man" with Robert Preston. W.C.C.
