What are your favourite classic movies ( 40's-70's) OT ?

Say from 40's-70's ( Black and White counts too ) ...

Charlie Chaplin Comedy

Laurel and Hardy Comedy

Roman Holiday

Casablanca

Guns of Navaronne

Where Eagle Dares

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

The Godfather

The Great Escape

Rocky

Dr No.

ETC ...

I'll add North by Northwest. That and Rebecca are the only two Hitchcock movies I've seen. Other than that, yeah Rocky and the Godfather are both great.

Oh, and the Omen was pretty stellar.

And the Exorcist. The Exorcist was...............beyond words. I walked on those stairs once, and they're pretty dangerous in real life walking normally.

8 1/2

Double Indemnity

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Just about anything with the Marx Bros., particularly A Night at the Opera, and one of my favorites, A Day at the Races.

In addition to every movie the dudes have already mention above and will later mention below, Johnny Got His Gun (1971).

Planet of the Apes

Ben Hur

Exorcist

Woodstock 69

Freaks

Bad News Bears (1976)

Dr. Strangelove (1964)

Some Like It Hot (1959)

Night Of The Living Dead (1968)

Psycho (1960)

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

Taxi Driver (1976)

Exorcist (1973)

Probably most of the older films I saw growing up were from Disney, like Pinocchio (1940), Dumbo (1941), Cinderella (1950), Alice In Wonderland (1951), Lady and the Tramp (1955), Robin Hood (1973).

If we throw the 30s in there I'll add Animal Crackers (1930) and Duck Soup (1933) into it.

Rio Bravo

Dr. Strangelove

The Ten Commandments

The Godfather

True Grit

Red River

Forbidden Planet

etc.

LOL !!!

Godfather 1 and 2

Most of Hitchcocks 40's and 50's films as well as Psycho and The Birds

The Good The Bad and The Ugly

High Plains Drifter

Sean Connerys Bond movies, Roger Moore's Live and Let Die and The Spy who Loved Me

The Exorcist (still the most powerful horror movie to date)

Night of the Living dead (one of the most influential horror movies ever made and black dude as a bad-ass protagonist in 1968!)

Casablanca (duh)

Citizen Kane

Carnival of Souls

Taxi Driver

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (another major influential horror movie)

....plenty of others can't think of now

SO MANY GOOD movies but I will narrow it down to three a decade:

Casablanca/Grapes of Wrath/Fantasia - 40s

Ben Hur/12 Angry Men/Some Like It Hot - 50s

Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid/Bonnie and Clyde/To Kill a Mockingbird - 60s

Jaws/Star Wars/Godfather I/II - 70s

Planet of the Apes. Brilliant film. I though the second one was actually good, so really the first two.

from that range, i'd go with barry lyndon, 2001, bring me the head of alfredo garcia, the wild bunch, kiss me deadly, the friends of eddie coyle, and the night of the hunter.

Wow. I can't believe it took so many replies before Star Wars was included.

LittleMac19, I tip my hat to you.

12 Angry Men (1957). Not only one of my favorite classics but one of my favorites of all time.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) is another personal favorite.

Rocky

Night of the Living dead

Dawn of the Dead - Orginal

I spit on your Grave - Orginal

Alien.

I liked it more than Aliens.

Alot of them have already been mentioned. Add "The Seven Samurai" and "A Dew Dollars" more to that list.
