Your favourite "classic" film

Tommy B · 28 Jul 2007 at 15:40

I've decided to broaden my horizons and start watching some of the old classics. Can anyone recommend any really good ones?

I'm starting with:
Clockwork Orange
Easy Rider
The Graduate

Cheers

Just for the purposes of this post, I'm going to read "classic" as anything made before the year of my birth

1976 btw. Anyway, loads more, but the ones that spring to mind immediately are;

King Kong
It's a Wonderful Life
The Searchers
Rear Window
The Night of the Hunter

Cheers everyone.

I've opened a Lovefilm account and added the best 10 of that lot according to IMDB ratings.

Hopefully they'll send 'em out shortly, although I can only have 3 at once.

Thanks!

Seen that. I had the Hi-Fi on so loud the neighbours actually rang me up to complain about the noise

The sound is just awesome, and the music for that matter.

Is The Godfather too obvious?
