Spencers Mountain is one

John Wayne's "The Searchers" is my favorite all time "oldie"

"The Cowboys"

Those Calloways (1965)

Greed.

Ever since I was a kid I've liked Father Goose. Pass me by is a catchy tune.

African Queen is another I used to like. Hatari, Bridge on the River Kwai, Cool Hand Luke, and Patton are some others that come to mind.

Blazin' Saddles

That's an old movie if you were born after it was made.

The Quiet Man

Spencer's Mountain is a great one I hadn't thought of in a long time.

The long trailer with Lucy and Ricky is a funny one. Man's Favorite Sport with Rock Hudson is another funny old comedy I like.

A Few Dollars More.

My favorite of Sergio Leone's trilogy.

The Wizard of Oz

Zulu.

"Shane"

The Exorcist

Behind the Green Door

Scared the chit out of me!

Still scares me.

Some great old movies mentioned above and some trash.

To many to choose from but most anything with Boggy, John Wayne or Clint Eastwood works for me.

Me too! No way in hell would I ever watch it again!

I've walked up those Georgetown stairs the Priest was thrown out and down a bunch. It's a creepy deal. Especially, when you couple it to the movie.

One night my sister and I went up post last bar call only to meet some homeless folks who said they were there at filming and wanted to make it real for 5 bucks. We took the plunge and it was well worth it. My sister talks about it til this day.

Key Largo!

No one has mentioned Casablanca yet?

Treasure of the Sierra Madre

12 Angry Men

The Maltese Falcon

The Grapes of Wrath...

Some of the old guys like WC Fields had some real talent. Most of the others were simply products of a burgeoning Hollywood.

Texas Chainsaw Mas, uh i mean 'The Alamo'.

Gone With the Wind.

Ben Hur

Moses

The Big Country

Midway

Old Yeller

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Shanandoah

The Yearling

The Last of the Mohicans

I guess "old" is relative.

The Hustler with Paul Newnan. Where the Red furn grows.

The Godfather

Jaws

The Shawshank Redemption.

American Sniper

Some really good ones there, Doc. All classics, too, except for "Last of the Mohicans, which is still one of my favorite books and movie!

Bridges of Toko Ri

God is my copilot

Flight of the Phoenix

Blue Max

Spirit of St.Louis

Flying Tigers

African Queen
Sahara
Creature from the Black Lagoon
Casablanca

The Maltese Falcon statute sold for millions at auction. It was more about old Hollywood memorabilia than art but art mattered. In fact, hundreds of millions are being spent on movie memorabilia morse now that ever before. Especially costumes. Pretty cool that what folks once threw away is now becoming art.

Old movies rule!

The Wild Geese...

I seem to detect a theme here...

Great Escape!

Nobody has mentioned "Cool Hand Luke"? What we got here is...failure, to communicate...

Blacula

Shaft

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

In the Heat of the Night

A few that immediately come to mind are, Arsenic and Old Lace, The Good Earth, Sargent York, The Yearling, To Kill a Mockingbird, We're No Angels (the original).

The Flim Flam Man with George C Scott.

I liked that movie, haven't seen it in YEARS.


Not what I would call 'old' but I liked Sugarland Express

The Inlaws (peter faulk)

The Party (peter sellars)

Gone With the Wind

Lonely are the Brave

"Hombre"

Dracula

The Mummy

The Wolfman

"Home from the Hills"

"All quiet on the Western Front" (Original, not the John Boy version)

I like both of those John Wayne movies, as well, but my favorite would have to be Big Jake.

How the west was won

Once upon a time in the west

Lawrence of Arabia

Just watched Ben-Hur last night.. I really liked it. The chariot race was really cool.

Zulu

I was going to. My all time favorite movie.

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.

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

One of my all time favorite westerns, as well.

Several more of my favorite semi-modern day "old" movies Steve McQueen either starred or co-starred in.

Papillon
The Sand Pebbles
Bullitt
The Great Escape
Tom Horn

Night of the Living Dead.

That movie is absolutely awesome.




Travis

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

+1

... but also Cool Hand Luke / Paul Newman & George Kennedy

Too Late The Hero
The Lemon Drop Kid
The Princess and the Pirate
Will Penny
55 Day At Peking
Major Dundee
The Buccaneer

I've seen it a dozen times, Dave. Never tire of it.

Watching Bogie in the African Queen tonight.

Well I make no bones about it- The Searchers and the Outlaw Josey Wales are two of the greatest westerns ever made! Then there is the Prisoner of Zenda, the 1937 and 1952 versions one in B+W and the other Color, The Apartment, The fortune Cookie, The Odd Couple just to mention a few! There are some really good movies around that seldom get mentioned anymore, I went to the movies just twice last year and I don't even remember what I even saw! American Sniper was very very good, not a surprise Eastwood directed it! Its not old enough yet, wait 40 or 50 years from now! I gotten a little sour on what passes for movies these days most of it is just plan crap! I have a free pass in my wallet but there is nothing I want to use it on! I just might blow it on Sponge Bob! At least the dedicate it to the Great Ernest Borgnine! Oh Marty is a good one too!

I watched the original 'Mutiny on the Bounty' last night, 1935 starring Charles Laughton and Clark Gable.

Excellent movie. Probably one of the first films ever made that wasn't bad corny garbage. It's aged really well.

"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" was on Saturday afternoon. In HD and looked as if it had just been restored... always liked Stewart. But Stewart and Wayne together was great, think they only made 2 or 3 together, I'd have liked to see a bunch more.


Phil

Winchester 73

any pre 1990 tracy lords movie

Too Late the Hero was shot in the Philippines, on the grounds of the naval magazine at Subic Bay, while I was there. Some of the guys in my outfit signed on as extras. My duties were such that, schedule wise, I missed my chance to be discovered.

Some of favorites of mine- Dr. Strangelove, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, A Touch of Evil, The Wild Bunch, Citizen Kane, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, Pulp Fiction, The Right Stuff, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and MASH.

The French Connection.

Lonesome Dove.

That went over most people's heads. You naughty boy.

Yep. Saw Flim Flam when in 6th grade and hardly ever since. Glad to know others appreciate that movie that never gets shown. I found a copy and bought it for one of my sisters. African Queen was a huge childhood Favorite. Well. Do so Mr. Allnut.

I will Add :

Eh76: I nominate "The Wild Bunch" with William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Ben Johnson, Warren Oates, Edmond Obrien, Bo Hopkins, L.Q. Jones, Strother Martin and Robert Ryan along with MANY other fine actors!
This masterpeice of Sam Peckinpahs is still studied by film schools, film critics and college professors after 45 years since its release.
It is also rated amongst the "Top 100 Best Movies" of all time by The American Film Institute.

The Seahawks are a Wild Bunch.

home from the hill with robert mitchem, george pepard, and george hamilton

The Seahawks still SUCK!

Quit being a bitch. OWN IT!



Travis

To hell with Yankees.

They are why we have obammy.

Cape Fear - the original with Robert Mitchum

I beg to diffur sir, the reason why we got obammy is because all those colored folks that the southern folk decided to bring over and work in the fields. Then their decendants came out of the wood work and voted for skin color and nothing else.

Guns of Navarone (sp?)

and
The Razors Edge.


Huge S.Maugham fan here and these movies did his work justice.

On any given sunday. Its old to me and there are some real hardazz bike riders on it.

Gets my vote. Watched it night before last.

"Raiders of the Lost Ark".

"Trading Places"
