I haven't watched many "old" movies. It was good, and now I understand a lot more avatars and memes.
What are some other older must-see movies? |
|
The Bedford Incident
Hell is for Heroes Pork Chop Hill Seven Days In May Fail-Safe |
|
Anything with Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, Rick Moranis, etc is a good start.
Young Frankenstein Blazing Saddles History of the World Spaceballs Same goes for the Monty Python movies. |

Damn man...you must be really young!!
As sited before now watch Fail Safe which is a far more serious movie of how bad the cold war was and how hot it really could have been. And it really could have been. |

Fucking Casablanca Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile View Quote This. Somehow I missed this on TV as a kid. In high school the local art house theater showed all kind of old stuff (before video recorders). I had never seen it but went with some buddies. I'm sitting there watching it, thinking what a miserable movie it is. All it the screenplay does is use every cliché in the book. About half way through the movie, I realize I am watching THE BOOK Has anyone suggested The Godfather? |

Patton
The Man Who Would Be King
Citizen Kane Casablanca Sergeant York High Noon White Heat The Caine Mutiny Duck Soup Horse Feathers From Here To Eternity The Train The Killers Touch Of Evil The Third Man |

I first saw it as a teenager. The ending made me a little sick to my stomach. Kubrick was a genius.
Oh, and 99.99% of modern movies suck ass. Old movies are the best. (And I'm not that old at 37.) |

Clockwork Orange, also by Stanley Kubrick- in 1971, was a very interesting movie. https://filmfork-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/content/a-clockwork-inline-02.jpg View Quote Me droogs! Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

The Bridges at Toko-Ri
To Hell And Back Battleground A Walk In The Sun |

Since Abel Gance's Napoleon was mentioned, Waterloo with Rod Steiger.
BTW, I saw Napoleon at the SF Opera. SF Opera Orchestra provided the live music. |

Play Dirty
Battle of Britain Both are excellent movies you will not regret spending time on. ETA: A Bridge too Far, The Bridge at Ramagden, Sobibor....I'll add as I think of more. |

I guess that depends on OP's age, but Dirty Harry isn't much newer than Doctor Strangelove. Heck, some of the youngsters probably think Terminator 2 is an old movie! |
