When it comes to things I want to do before I die, watching movies doesn't exactly spring to mind. But I would agree that classics are better than the stuff Hollywoood puts out today. You know, in Paint Your Wagon, Lee Marvin isn't the only one who sings. So does Clint Eastwood. Here's the Simpsons' version I've probably seen most of the movies that I want too, but just give an answer I'll say...wait a minute, you know what? I did just think of a movie that I want to see that I haven't. A Man for all Seasons - The story of Sir Thomas Moore, starring Paul Scofield, who won the Academy Award for best actor. Also won best picture. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tK6YIAX1jg |

Harakiri http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mocBv_WJJMI Following the collapse of his clan, unemployed samurai Hanshiro Tsugumo arrives at the manor of Lord Iyi, begging to commit ritual suicide on his property. Iyi’s clansmen, believing the desperate ronin is merely angling for charity, try to force him to eviscerate himself—but they have underestimated his honor and his past. |

One older movie that really suprised the hell out of me was: Barabba
It was an amazingly epic movie for one I had never even heard of. Anthony Quinn (Zeus from Legend of Hercules Series) plays Barabbas, who was the one the crowd chose to free instead of Jesus when Pontius Pilate gave them a choice. There are some pretty amazing scenes in a Sulphur Mine and some awesome Gladiator stuff as well. I'd even say it was better than Ben Hur or Spartacus because Barabbas actually has some depth to him and isn't such a rigidly "good" character. Do yourself a favor and check this one out.

Hands down Id have to pick Logans Run and Robison Crusoe goes to Mars. Those movies opened my mind in so many ways. Albeit the Martian Chronociles were amazing. :D |

Depends how "old" you mean by old movies. Relatively new then i would go with 1984 (awesome film and spot the similarities with today www.orwelltoday.com/ ) Animal Farm (awesome film about the rise and subsequent corruption of Communism) Moving to older films then Citizen Kane Metropolis Nosferatu Problem is there are so many good, meaningful films out there it's difficult to give a definitive list "The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur." -George W. Bush, discussing the decline of the French economy with British Prime Minister Tony Blair |

I watched Cat Ballou when it was in the theatre. The only thing I remember about it is the drunken horse. |

You saw this in the theater when it first came out? Awesome. I wish they would bring these movies back and play them at theaters today. That would be great. ^_^ |
