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.

River of No Return I like both of those John Wayne movies, as well, but my favorite would have to be Big Jake.

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."
