Old Movies You Actually Like

[NHB7]

Now I should specify "old," because I know there are some young ones on this site for whom 90's is old. But I'm talking in the '60s or earlier.

Honestly, I've almost never enjoyed an old movie, other than some Hitchcock like Rearview Mirror and Psycho. I found Birds and Vertigo to be terribly boring (although, fun fact, I stayed at the hotel in the movie in Vertigo, which is now itself called Vertigo).

Any other good classic films you actually enjoy?

Hmmm Wizard of Oz I guess.

Good call. Certainly as a child, and I think I watched it once as an adult without getting sooooo bored that I needed to turn it off.

Just thought of another:

Jason and the Argonauts.

Other than that, I don't know of many movies that I've liked, or even watched, < 1970s


When did Grease come out? 70s I'm assuming

The Lost Weekend is hands down my favourite old film. It's from 1945, and still relevant.

It's a wonderful life

 

[MedicineDog]

anything Kurosawa.

 

[Lethal_Striker]

Anything by Hitchcock especially The Birds and Psycho.

Most of them.

I mean the cadence and delivery is a little weird at first but the stories and and cinematography is usually on point.

Harvey is my favorite movie of all time and I also feel like Gone With The Wind is the greatest film ever made.

Spartacus, Ben-Hur, pretty much all of Hitchcock. Val Lewton thrillers.

Classic movies are money. Like I said, you just kinda gotta get into the flow. They can sometimes be a little overacted due to most of the people being theater actors and dealing with shit screens and resolution but when the greats were on, it's still a sight to behold imo

Watched thunderbolt and lightfoot the other day was pretty good. Eastwood and Bridges.

Ive watched a shitload of good old movies but tbh i cant remember fuck all of the names. I only remember the actors who were in them.

Yep, Grease came out in 1978 and I like it very much. I'm not crazy about musicals but I really like Grease and West Side Story.

My favorite movie of all time is Casablanca, released in 1942.

The Godfather
Deer Hunter
The Graduate
The Warriors
Apocalypse Now
Rocky

I would recommend all of these "old" movies.

I just looked up Harvey. It sounds interesting. Is it creepy or just unusual?

12 Angry Men and Chinatown are two of my favorite films.

12 Angry Men could even be number 1.

And George A Romeros original Night of the Living Dead. Classic.

 

[John Wang]

Although I love this movie and love you for posting it, I think the OP wants movies that are < 1970

And George A Romeros original Night of the Living Dead. Classic.

All 3 of his original zombie movies are great. The acting is pretty bad at the start of night of the living dead but as a movie it's the best of the three.
