Your Favorite Old Movies

[madcap2112]

I've been on a streak of watching old movies the last couple days. What are your favorite old movies? I'm looking for movies made before 1970.

For myself, it's a tough choice; a toss-up between Dr. Strangelove, A Hard Day's Night, Casablanca, and a couple of Alfred Hitchcock movies.

I'll go with Dr. No and North by Northwest. Both awesome. Also, the Beatles' "Help" movie was pretty great.

 

[Blackdoom]

I have to agree with Dr Strangelove it is a really good movie.

 

[Offworlder_v1legacy]

Zulu. Great historical movie. And it has a very young Micheal Caine.

Would you consider the Sergio Leone Dollars Trilogy old enough to qualify? Some of the Ray Harryhausen movies are alright, like Jason and the Argonaughts etc.

Edit: Just checked, the Dollars Trilogy is old enough, it takes the cake and eats it too.

Aw, you already said Casablanca... alright, lets go with The Bandwagon.

 

[Coldman42]

Arsenic and Old Lace

If you have not seen this, see it NOW!

It got #1 in funniest movies of the century last century, and for good reason.

Thanks to my aunt i have access to a vast variety of horror movies most of which star Vincent Price.

Some of his greats include:
House on Haunted Hill
House of Wax
The Abominable Dr.Phibes
Return of Dr.Phibes
Masque of the Red Death
The Tingler
Pit and the Pendulum.

Not sure how old it is but

zombi 2 is quiet a good one (if you like that sort of stuff) zombie vs shark ftw.

Phantasum1-4 (very much doubt its old as you are lookin for but its freakin epic).

Don't suppose Star Wars counts.

If not, I don't really know. I haven't actually seen too many old movies. :C

Star Wars was late 70's.

2001: A Space Odyssey
others I like is movies like The wolf Man, love old monster movies.

Edit also Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin

12 Angry Men and To Kill A Mocking Bird
Both great courtroom movies but for different reasons.

 

[[Kira Must Die]]

The oldest movies I've seen and liked are usually in the 60's.

That being said, I'm going with Dr. Strangelove.

Let's go international.

Kurosawa, and not Seven Samurai, which everyone -should- see. Ikuru.

The Seventh Seal.

Cinema Paraiso.

 

[Jack_Uzi]

Citizen Kane. Great movie!!

 

[Cheery Lunatic]

Laura. Damn good crime noir.

Some Like It Hot. So funny, and so good. Tony Curtis was so good looking when he was younger. WHAT HAPPENED. ;___;

 

[Zirat]

The Maltese Falcon

A great movie starring Humphrey Bogart, what's not to love?
