Could you define 'old'? Is it pre-80's? Pre-70's? Because 'old' a very subjective term.

It seems that the term "Old" is from before the 60's.
Here's my Favorite Old Movies:


The Longest Day
Gone with the Wind
Ben-Hur
It's A Wonderful Life
The Great Dictator
Nosferatu
The Searchers
The Grapes of Wrath
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

12 Angry Men
My Fair Lady
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Doctor Doolittle (the musical)
Fiddler on the Roof
Bringing up Baby
Casablanca
The Cat from Outer Space

Pre-60's....
It's a Wonderful Life
Charlie Chaplain
Stalag 17
Miracle on 34th Street
Arsenic and Old Lace
Rear Window
Cat People
The Frisco Kid

and a few others that I can't recall at the moment

Rear Window
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
My fair lady
Its a Wonderful life
Harvey


you can tell.....I'm a Jimmy Stewart fan

I think for the purpose of this, we should have old mean "any movie that would probably be shown on Turner Classic, which has recently added movies up through the 70's.
some favorites no one's mentioned yet:
Plan 9 From Outer Space
Fantasia
Forbidden Planet
Saturday Night Fever (mostly for the music than anything else, actually)
Rocky Horror (Let's do the Time Warp again!)
any of the Sean Connery James Bonds, but especially Thunderball or Goldfinger
Star Wars (the original came out in 1977)
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Dr. Strangelove
Vertigo (best Hitchcock movie ever!)
Pollyanna
Casablanca (no one mentioned this classic?)
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

I did.

I'm just going to define "old" as "black-and-white," because I never know when a certain movie was made :/ So here are my favorite black-and-white movies:

12 Angry Men
The Mark of Zorro
all the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movies
Shaggy Dog
The Wizard of Oz (well, at least part of it was black-and-white )
Psycho (and pretty much anything else Hitchcock made)

Fist Full of Dollars
A Few Dollars More
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
The Maltese Falcon
The Wizard of Oz
And Then There Were None...

Thats all I can think of...

Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark.
Star Wars (First film)

I don't think I've watched many old films...

I forgot to list:

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Hang 'em High
Grapes of Wrath
Sound of Music
To Hell and Back (WWII movie)

It's so bad it's good!:XD: I love the epic fail of this movie!

If I'm just going with black and white, here a few of my favorites:

Gone with the Wind
No Time for Sergeants
It's a Wonderful Life
Robin Hood (Errol Flynn's)
Sgt. York
The Wizard of Oz

Off the top of my head - its easier to go about it systematically. Some may be left out. I'm defining this as anything below 1983, so that I can work in Fitzcarraldo. Preferably, if I could choose the phrase for my movie library, then it would be "a place to get lost in".
