The cinematic world will be coming back to life in the coming year, but everyone is still steaming in their homes. Even though there is a multitude of films on various services, it is always great to look to the classics. These films give us a look into the past and the brilliance of these filmmakers during these times.

Many of us quote lines from these films and do not even know where it came from initially. Even though many of these films are best on the big screen, but why not engage with the past. Without having to leave the comfort of your own home.

In this era of streaming, binge-watching has become a regular part of people’s lives. Yet, Netflix and other services have built up an impressive collection of movies. Reel Dialogue has put together a nostalgic list. One that might include a childhood favourite or a film that you have always wanted to see or it might intrigue you to brush up on your classic cinematic knowledge. The list includes suspense-thrillers, romantic comedies, and even action adventures that have stood the test of time.

Grab your remote, pop the popcorn, and get ready for an imaginative journey into the past. From the 1930s to recent decades, enjoy the Reel Dialogue classics list and send us your thoughts and favourites.
