Recommend me some good older movies

[Jack Ryan]

For some reason I really like old movies. I love old westerns and war movies. I mean as far back as the 1930s. I dont really know what it is about them. Im only 21 by the way so old movies to most of my friends means Jurassic Park and Billy Madison.

Some examples of old movies I like:

The Dirty Dozen (1967)
The Outlaw (1943)
One Eyed Jacks (1961)
Wild Boys Of The Road (1933)
Escape From Alcatraz (1979)
Full Metal Jacket (1987)

If its a well known war movie or western Ive probably seen it, but feel free to recommend me some good movies. I really want to add to my collection.

For a western, I have always liked " The Long Riders". The version which the Carradine, Quaid, and Keach brothers all play the James and Younger brothers.

 

[PatriotPride]

I arrived to the party a little late it seems

The entire "Death Wish" series is a definite must.

A Bridge Too Far

 

[GooseUhRoose]

Not really so much war or western.... But you definitely need to check out Soylent Green and Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

 

[ISHOOTHST'S]

The John Wayne stuff is a first thought

What are the only three films, in which John Wayne's character is killed, or otherwise dies?

The Cowboys, The Shootist, and I don't know.

 

[JetGirl]

Mr.Jet says "Wake of the Red Witch", but I don't even think I've ever seen that one...

The Cowboys, The Shootist, and I don't know.

& Sands of Iwo Jima

Casablanca, anything by John Wayne and anything by Clint Eastwood

I love watching TCM channel on satellite

What are the only three films, in which John Wayne's character is killed, or otherwise dies?

The Cowboys, The Shootist, and I don't know.

Fighting Seabees, when John Wayne rams a 'dozer with explosives into an oil tank, filling a valley of invading Japanese soldiers full of burning oil.

 

[Armed Eastsider]

I lied. There are 11 deaths in all. He is seen dying or become dead in the following:

• The Shootist
• The Cowboys
• The Alamo
• Sands of Iwo Jima
• Wake of the Red Witch
• The Fighting Seabees
• Reap the Wild Wind

Though, his character death is not shown in the following:

• The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
• The Sea Chase
• The Deceive
• Central Airport

Oh man I just ordered Sands Of Iwo Jima talk about a spoiler

Even Clint had a few duds, those monkey movies and Bridges of Madison County, are a few hours of my life I could have made better use of..

 

[FordMan79]

The Outlaw Josey Wales is my all time favorite.

"Well, Mr. Carpetbagger. We got somethin' in this territory called the Missouri boat ride."
