What is YOUR favorite OLD movie?

I can think of alot more but a few that come to mind

Willow (1988)
The Dark Crystal (1982)
Romancing the Stone (1984)
Batman (1989)
The Sword in the Stone (1963)

If I were to pick, I would go with "The Picture of Dorian Gray" from the 1940s, based on the book "The Portrait of Dorian Gray." They made a more recent version that falls outside of the 2000s (just called "Dorian Gray"), but I didn't care for it as much. If I recall correctly, the 1940s version was the first movie to make use of color; however, it was limited to when the audience gets to see the portrait at the very end of the movie, while the rest was black and white.

Cheers!
c[O,..,O]p

I'd have to say either Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) or The Hunger (1983)
guess Susan Sarandon does it for me

I'd Pick these movies as my favourite old movies:
John Carpenter's The Thing (1982)
Alien (1979)
Aliens (1986)
Predator (1987)

You might notice I like scifi. I think Predator is quite silly while still having awesome atmosphere. There's more, I bet, but these are the ones I can think of right of my head. So that should mean they're the best?

Platoon, Saving Private Ryan and Shindler's List. Yes i love good war and war related movies. And Enemy at the Gates is very good too but that is from just after, 2001. And i could have said The Pianist too but that is from 2002 and the director is seemingly a bad person so i can not recommend it.

Back to the Future 1-3

The Cremator (1968)
Alien (1979)
Brazil (1985)
Něco z Alenky / Alice (1988)
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989)
Begotten (1990)
Delicatessen (1991)
Ghost in the Shell (1995)
Tuvalu (1999)

Another one of my favorites is The Naked Gun

Hey, I loved the Naked Gun movies when I was a kid! :D I need to watch those again, loved that silly humor and Leslie Neilson. ^^

I'm a child of the 80s and I tend to prefer old stuff too... :o/ As far as movies go, these are some of my favs:

Alien (1979) & Aliens (1986) I'm a huge fan of the Alien quadrilogy and I simply cannot choose between the first two flicks
John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) one of my fav horror flicks, on par with the Alien movies
Clash of the Titans (1981) I hated the 2010 remake, full of CGI and soulless imo. I absolutely adore the Medusa scenes from the original
The Goonies (1985) who wouldn't want to find a pirate's treasure?
The Neverending Story (1984) I want a Falco too ;_;
Labyrinth (1986) this is one movie Hollywood better not try to remake... no one else can play Jareth the Goblin King but David Bowie
Zombi 2 (1979) love me some Lucio Fulci's movies
Evil Dead II (1987) love the Evil Dead trilogy but this one is my favorite of the lot
La cage aux folles 1 and 2 (1978, 1980) forget the Bird Cage remake with Robin Williams, this is the real deal ^^

Not much for old movies myself as Im only 26 Didnt really experienced 90s as I was just a kid and never really watched classics.

Bunch of classics I would love to watch but haven`t gotten around to.. I am one of those heretics who enjoy visuals just as much as a good story so in most cases classics are subpar in quality department and I cant enjoy the story and acting that much. But that partly comes as I do video making as a hobby and horror movies and how they are made really enthuse me.. But I dont find older horror movies scary... While I dislike the generic approach of using jump scares the new horror movies are the ones I love most ...

But to the topic at hand - I`d probably have to mention Shawshank redemption for me, The godfather would be the oldest (but want to rewatch it), The Green Mile, Forrest Gump, Leon. I simply cant not mention Die Hard, Ace Venture (and other Jim Carrey movies), Predator (along with other Schwarzenegger classics), Mission Impossible movies.. So yeah, for older movies my taste is as generic as it goes :D

I like old Czechoslovakian movies from pre-war era (1930-40s)
I have a medium sized collection of old Film Noir movies ranging from 1940s until 1960s (~50-75 movies)
and I like old Westerns from same era

Hard to single out few of them, I have love for all for different reasons :)

Most of my favourites are from the 90s, probably just a coincidence lol.

• The Truman Show
• Being John Malkovich
• Dancer in the Dark
• Taste of Cherry
• Dumb and Dumber
• Terminator 2
• Stalker
• Koyaanisqasti

Just to name a few

Pretty much anything Lloyd Bridges or Leslie Nielson was in around that time also.

For some 1991 is not old, but i was not even born at the time, so for me that is omega old xD

Forrest Gump

Willow (1988) - One of the few older movies, that still stands up to todays CGI.

Hudson Hawk (1991) - fun but lesser known, Bruce Willis movie.

The Fantastic Adventures of Unico (1981) - my favorite anime, from before I knew what anime was.
