I'm quite fond of anything from Charlie Chaplin, Modern Times in particular. It helps that Paulette Goddard is freakishly beautiful.
I was also intrigued by Citizen Kane, it wasn't really...fun, or very entertaining, but very interesting. But I absolutely loved Bicycle Thieves [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_Thieves], an Italian film made in 1948. It was such a simple story, but it was very easy to relate and feel with the characters.

I still have to see that, but even by just seeing pictures, I know that Nosferatu himself is the most creepy vampire ever. I'm sure I'll love it.Ham_authority95 said:
The Godless Girl, 1929, glorious little tale. Marie Prevost and Lina Basquette are stunners in the most refined sense.
Have you seen Hidden Fortress?AC Medina said:
It's one of the major influences of the first Star Wars. Along with Seven Samurai and Yojimbo and the likes, all of them are jidai-geki. Some think that's where the term "Jedi" came from
By old films, I'm assuming that you mean pre-1970-ish. I'm going with Geisha Boy (Jerry Lewis), and Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
The original Star Wars films.
I prefer the newer bonds to the older ones if I'm honest - Connery was good; Moore wasn't; Lazenby... No; Brosnan was really good; Craig is the best. They're all sort of jumbled into one big mash (minus Brosnan's and Craig's) so I can't really comment on which film specifically (and what year it is).
Can't think of anything older.

I don't know, I kinda like to see the photoelectric effect. His theories on the motion of bodies in the sky really makes alot more sense than earlier, less refined theories.GuerrillaClock said:
Oh? Are you another of those people who thinks that einstein 'invented' the atomic bomb? Well, you are wrong.
As for older films... Maybe the original star wars, what you kids nowdays like to call 'A new hope'. Oh, there are a couple other older sci-fi flicks I enjoy, but nothing keeps me coming back for more like star wars. We could put A clockwork Orange there too. I'm sure I'm neglecting some bond flicks.
Edit: oops, I guess you mean this guy

I figured you were making a reference to an atomic bomb being a disaster like older movies, and you could not spell, like 70% of the people on forums.
