    Didn't see a thread on this via search... so, ah, to the pub...

    Just watched "The Gauntlet" with Clint for the umpteenth time. Yeah, early 70's, was it even believable then? But I still have to watch it when it's on.
    In general I like movies set in the mountains or in the desert, with 4wd vehicles or motos featured. Plot/acting not so critical, old modern jazz music background a plus.

    Your favorites?

    How old is old? I think 1980 is the cut-off. My favorite old-ish movie is The Right Stuff. However, being an 80's flick it falls into the modern category. My favorite classic is The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I love all old westerns and war flicks (Great Escape). The Good, The Bad, The Ugly is my favorite because it is the first movie I remember as a kid sitting down with my dad to watch.

    I'll state the obvious -- Breaking Away

    Seriously though, if we're talking pre-80s, any Bond movie with Sean Connery as Bond. Also Mel Brook's classics like Blazing Saddles, High Anxiety, Silent Movie, young Frankenstein, The Producers. The original Thomas Crowne Affair with Steve McQueen (actually the remake was pretty good too). Any old WWII flick.

    Post-80s -- too many to mention -- Tommy Boy ranks up there, trading Places, Ghost Busters, Stripes, and most Adam Sandler movies.

    Easy riders is a good movie. If you thought the movie was bad the book is much MUCH worse. Seriously Stephen King is a sick bastard

    Casablanca. Always amazing. The original quotable film.

    Any number of Hitchcock film. North By Northwest. Rear Windo. Vertigo . . .

    Cool Hand Luke. Newman one of the best to ever do it.

    Sunset Blvd. Billy Wilder. Genius.

    Can't forget Kubrick.

    There are just so many great classic films.

    Ditto. It's my second favorite movie of all time. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing.

    The first time I saw the cops swiss cheese that bus in the crossfire I was lmao in the theatre. But we still loved the movie.

    I was thinking something different with "classic" so I'd say The Searchers, Citizen Kane, and Singing in the Rain.
