Recommend me some good older movies

[Armed Eastsider]

Thanks for all the suggestions. I ordered about 5 movies off ebay, you can get them pretty cheap and these older movies can be hard to find in stores.

Im pretty excited to see Taxi Driver, it sounds really good, hopefully it comes by the weekend.

old movies

What? No one mentioned Shane from 1953? Or Old Yeller

What a great thread. Some of these I forgot how good they were. I do second Papillon. On a different note I always liked Jimmy Stewart in Harvey. He just walks around in his own world the whole show. Some days I would like to be there with him.

I love Shane

I'm right around your age and prefer older movies as well. If you like comedies check out my all-time favorite movie, Young Frankenstein. It's a Mel Brooks movie and has Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, and even Gene Hackman.

Blazing saddles, Wild Hogs.

The Undefeated.
The Goonies.
We were Soldiers (Kinda new)
The Quick and the Dead with Sam Elliott(TV movie, not the Sharon stone thing)

Not a Western, not a war movie, but North by Northwest is a great movie...

All these movies, and I can't believe nobody recommend The Siege of Firebase Gloria.

On top of that, I also highly recommend The President's Analyst and The Mouse that Roared.
