The best classic American films to watch now

Looking for a good classic film to watch tonight? Then why not pick one of these curated by the Genretop review team?

The Sixth Sense. M. Knight Shyamalan, 1999.

It’s not just that this picture sports one of the best plot twists of all time, the rest of the film is top-notch, too. Even with Bruce Willis and Toni Colette, the performance that stands out is that of young Haley Joel Osment.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. George Roy Hill, 1969.

At the time, this was a very modern take on a Western. The heroes are lovable criminals taking on the establishment by robbing banks. With Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Katharine Ross, there is an awful lot of beauty on the screen at one time.

Toy Story. John Lasseter, 1995.

The first computer-animated picture is still the best — it’s a combination of an irresistible story, bold characterizations (even of the smallest characters), wonderful voices and unbeatable animation.

Psycho. Alfred Hitchcock, 1961.

“Mother…isn’t quite herself today.” That line still cracks me up.

Bringing Up Baby. Howard Hawks, 1938.

Dizzy Katharine Hepburn decides she loves paleontologist Cary Grant and goes all out to land him, including using a pet leopard named Baby. And that’s not the only leopard in the film.
