Finally! Surprised it was so far down the list. Even my 22 year old daughter loves this movie. I thought about it right off, but don't consider 60's movies OLD movies.

If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

Couple of good adventure movies:
"The Wind and the Lion" with Sean Connery and Candace Bergen
"The Man Who Would Be King", again with Sean Connery and Michael Caine.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

I think that many of these old films were so good because they relied on a strong story not just flashy special effects..
There are so many excellent films, its had to choose, so in no particular order:
Ice Cold in Alex
The Hill
The Longest Day
Hatari
The Battle of Britain
The Dambuters (despite the special effects!)
Ben-Hur
The Third Man
Cool Hand Luke
The Searchers
Zulu

"Plan B From Outer Space" is so bad it's good. Also very entertaining, "Reefer Madness."
