Older Movies That You Love

This could include anything from silent films to a early-mid 1970's film.

Chinatown is such a good movie, one of those movies I can watch over and over. A Polanski film which could bother some but its such a well made movie. Everything about it, the acting, the music, cinematography, etc. It came out the same year as the Godfather II so it didn't win the Oscar but I think it was the better film.

There are others. I like some of David Lean's movies. I like the Godfather movies but at the same time don't get all the fuss about them.

The Thin Man (the entire series is great but the first is the best)
Casablanca
The Big Sleep
The Maltese Falcon
North by Northwest
Rear Window
It's a Wonderful Life
The Public Enemy
Scarface (the ORIGINAL one not the Pacino one)
Little Cesar
Key Largo
2001 Space Odyssey
The Shining


And ANYTHING with WC Fields in it

Warriors

The Searchers

'Seven Samurai' - Japanese film from 1954, as perfect a movie as I have ever seen. :cool:

Dirty Harry series is hard not to re watch each time they come around.Hope they come on the classic channel soon.

I watch the original; Three Musketeers when it comes around.


Hitchcocks stuff.



Lyles well onto the old ones I see.


Kirkland, That humour of Grouchos was a one of,those films are believable madness.


Journey to the center of the earth ws good in its time but would probably be dated now.

Was that the one with the British red coat soldiers holding the fort against thousands?

That was a tense movie for its time.

50s-60s

12 angry men- Fonda version

Judgement at nuremberg- judy garland unrecognisable in a cameo
Bad day at black rock- Tracy licks Borgnines ass with one hand
The man who shot liberty valence

P.S. I may be wrong here but i think Chinatown did get the best picture

just love Bogies quip to Walter Brennan when Brennan claims he doesnt need a whole lot of money from the gold. Bogie says 'Suuure, your old. Im young. I need money and plenty of it' ha ha ha ha. What a funny guy!
Dunno if your familiar with the 'Dirty Harry' series but the same guy (Albert Popwell) is in every one. Hes the bank robber in the first, the one with the classic line bouta 44 magnum. He gets killed in the second as a pimp, Hes some kinda Black guru in another. Christ hes even his partner in one!!! Ha ha!! I know its a cliche but they just dont make movies like they used to, especially the old Warner Brother Cagney,Bogart and Raft movies. For my money they beat the shit out of the rubbish that passes for entertainment now. F**k all that julia roberts/richard gere will they/wont they crap, and that midget with the scientologist mindset. Couldnt act their age.
