The Third Man, sunset Blvd and All About Eve are greatsz!

Holy shit, of the hundreds of movies mentioned in this thread, I've only heard of a few. And even those were still old. The oldest movie that I am actually sit down to watch would have to b..............stay tuned. I can't think that far back

I m surprised nobody has named "To Kill a Mockingbird"

Mokoa...movie date, check!

Other great films include The Third Man, The Lady from Shanghai and The Magnificent Ambersons. All Orson Wells films.

But dont forget some of the fantastic foreign films like Das Boot, Metropolis, Mephisto, The Hidden Fortress (star wars was based upon that one) and The Seven Ronin which Hollywood stole and remade into The Magnificent Seven.

Here a some really old ones,but classics:

Mutiny on the Bounty1:Charles Laughton,Clark Cable

Mutiny on the Bounty2: Marlin Brando,Trevor Howard, Richard Harris

Northwest Passage:Spencer Tracey,Robert Young

When Harry Met Sally
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Marx Brothers movies
Abbott and Costello movies

Give me those, and a deserted island, and my choice of any provider, and I'll be set for life.

Vanishing Point, Easy Rider, The Original True Grit with John Wayne, Kim Darby, and Glen Campbell. I also like those old movies from the late 40's early 50's such as the Francis the Talking Mule series, Topper, and the Old Dagwood and Blondie flicks with Arthur Lake.

Goodfellas... Joe Pesci "I mean funny like I'm a clown" scene...
All time favorite!

Thank you, Sweet Lexxxi, for starting this thread as I LOVE old/classic movies!! So many great ones have been mentioned so please forgive the dups and lengthy list but I am a movie buff/geek and my tastes are really varied...AND since I have so many favorites, I decided to only go up through the 70's...

All of those you mentioned above are great flicks. BTW I am impressed you were aware of the Thin Man movies. They are quite obscure now.

Here's a little test for everyone. As far as I know only one movie every made has this much talent in it and could have only been made under the old studio system. No one could ever afford to hire this many A list actors again.

The Longest Day

@ Rakhir...William Powell and Myrna Loy were great together..excellent chemistry and comedic timing! I think I need to add more true old classics to my list as I think I concentrated too much on the 50's, 60's and 70's...

And great trivia question...I was thinking something along the lines of "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.." or a disaster flick of the 70's...:-)
