Best classic films that you've watched so far?

[Neoseer88]

All the batman movies!! At least the older ones

 

[andrewcarroll]

I recently watched an old 70s movie called "Chiefs" amazing movie, really sucked me in and it was like 4 hours!
Its about a serial killer in a small american town and follows 3 generations of police chiefs as they each try to solve the murders.
I was surprised at how good it was ive never watched a 3 hour movie in one sitting let alone 4 hours ha

 

[NecroticisM666]

Watched all of Martin Scorsese's movies. All his movie are top class specially Goodfellas and Casino..
The Departed is also good, though that is not considered as a classic yet..

 

[Phone Man]

Not a classic but a very fine movie based on a true story. Its funny and a feel good movie. Anthony Hopkins does a great job.

The World's Fastest Indian (2005) - IMDb

Not sure if it's considered a classic or not, but Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorites. One thing I liked about it is that it showed two people from totally different backgrounds and lifestyles could still become friends and respect each other. We need more of that in this world.I also like The Sting and The Hustler.

Just watched it a couples days ago and I can say that Shawshank Redemption is one of those movies which can enlighten your day.

No Citizen Kane in the list? Tsk.

But Sin City might be more to your taste.

I thought just about all of Paul Newman's were good. The Verdict was my favorite.

 

[Imperfect1]

Speaking of Paul Newman and classic films --- just saw Fat Man and Little Boy last night. Verrrrrry interesting --- about the conception and building of the big bomb at the end of WWII.

Torpedo Run (58) (Glenn Ford, Ernest Borgnine, Dean Jones)

The commander of an American submarine during World War II sets out to destroy the Japanese Aircraft carrier which launched the attack on Pearl Harbour. His wife and child have been captured by the Japanese and they are using them and other prisoners of war as human shields for the carrier.

Filmed in CinimaScope .. errr uhm wide screen

 

[bigmck]

A couple of weeks ago "Oceans Eleven" was on one of the movie channels. This was the original with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford and several more unlikely thieves. I had not seen it since it was in the movies in 1960. I remembered how good it was. I watched about a half hour of it and just turned it off. The plot was bad. The acting was bad and none of the actors even resembled a bad guy. I usually don't like remakes of movies, but the remake was at least half way watchable. The original was just bad.

Watch Robin and the 7 Hoods instead

[seekermeister]

quickdraw2011,

That's quite a list. Too bad that none of them include links for streaming or downloading.

 

[quickdraw2011]

I have over 1500 movies on DVD. Got all of them off the Internet. There are some website where you can steam or download movies. But, if I tell you, I got to kill you. Ha! Ha! Check this one out. Watch movies online for free movie download at movie2k.to I usually watch the streaming ones as they become available. Look for smiley face ones to stream. You can download if you want to pay for there membership. I personally don't do that.

 

[seekermeister]

I currently have 1738 movies, not including the TV series videos, encoded to my video archive. I have no lack of internet sources available, but of course that isn't the same as a direct link to a specific movie. It would be nice to have a directory that would point directly to the right location.
