I liked the old Spaghetti Westerns, with Clint Eastwood. One in particular is the Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Another favorite is a comedy that was made in 1962, with the then new technology called "Cinerama". The movie is called It's a Mad Mad Mad World. I have the movie on DVD, remastered in surround sound and I like watching it every now and then.

and there was an old movie that starred a black woman who's daughter was passing for white and the black mother became the maid and bestfriend of a white woman but the black daughter just hated it so much because she was passing for white and would go crazy when her mom would show up and people would find out she was really black.

I love all the movies that Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis made together. I love all of Doris Day's musicals. The "road" movies with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. The old Charlie Chan mystery movies. Hush, Hush Sweet Charlette and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. The Pit and the Pendulum (with Vincent Price). The original Parent Trap movie(I thought the dad's house was sooo cool). Pretty much of all the disney movies Hayley Mills made. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. All of Jerry Lewis's solo movies. And many more I can't think of right now.

Is the movie that you are thinking of called "Imitation of Life"?

Tabacco Road, that was a good one.

I need help with this one, I don't know the name or actors, I saw it a long time ago. I think it was from the 50's
It was about a husband and wife who bought a place I believe on the gulf of Mexico, the husband got trapped on the beach by an old pier support and the tide was coming in, the wife had to go for help, she ended up finding a criminal who was being chased by the police to help her.anyone know it? I would like to find it.

Was it in color or black & white? And was it a drama?

Anyone ever watch "We're No Angels", the original with Humphrey Bogart and Aldo Ray? It's a classic. They should've never remade and ruined the story with DeNiro & Penn. How about "The African Queen"?

Also, classics like: Some Like It Hot; Cape Fear (the original); To Kill A Mockingbird; Arsenic & Old Lace; Bell, Book and Candle; Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream Home; and, a newer one (from the early 80s), My Favorite Year (with Peter O'Toole). So many more, but don't want to repeat from other's lists.

To Roaddog: the actress in that film was Barbara Stanwick and it was in B & W.
