    Default 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.

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

    Yes or the American version ....The Magnificant Seven

    True Grit is pretty badass, all The Duke's movies were great

    Eastwood's The Man With No Name series were great

    All the above plus;
    Each dawn i die
    white heat
    Treasure of the sierra madre- Bogie was simply magnificent with the one-liners

    50s-60s

    12 angry men- Fonda version
    The fortune cookie
    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

    70s-80s

    Magnum force
    Pelham 123
    charley varrick
    Anything Nicholson was in


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

    Ah White Heat how could I forget that one "Made it Ma', top of the world!"

    I bought that in a Warner Brothers Gangster set along with: Little Cesar, Angels With Dirty Faces, The Public Enemy, and The Roaring Twenties....all great movies.

    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.
