What very old film do you like most?

stbrians

My heart goes to The Gods must be crazy. This is a film which is very hilarious. You will laugh from the beginning to the end.

The film shows the difference between cultures and how they embrace technology differently. It shows how a mere empty bottle causes an aporoar in a deep village where technology has not reached. It also shows how those we think are civilized behave in the remote civilization. A good movie indeed.

That's right. I can remember this movie. I think I watched it more than once during that time. It was hilarious indeed. I was young when I watched this and I can remember I was in fits of laughter because of this seemingly naive lead character and the rest of his cohorts. There must be a genius behind the creation of this movie.

Way back college years, our Professor used "The Gods must be crazy" for our movie review.
And yes, it will make you laugh from beginning 'till end.

It then showed us how modern things such as a bottle of coke can actually cause fight between the people in their tribe. There are several lessons in life in this movie that people might want to watch it.

I will not classify The Lord of the Rings as an old film. For me old films will be the films that were released before I was born. Anything released in my time is the film of my age, even though they were released 30 years ago. I will consider black and white movie to be very old film.

You are very correct. Even though Lord of the Rings isn't black and white, I would still consider it to being an old movie. It was actually a very good movie back then.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is one of my all-time favorite movies. Considered one of the largest and most ambitious film projects ever made, with a total budget of 280 million dollars, the entire project took eight years, with the filming of the three films made simultaneously and completely in New Zealand. Even if it's not even 20 years old, for me it's a classic.

I think the first movie in the Lord of the Rings trilogy was released in 2001. The movie that is not even 20 years old cannot be termed old movies. Even though the first color movie was made in 1918, color movies were not widely made before 1960. The first talkie was released in 1927. Talkies because popular in the 30s. I like to classify the movies from this era as very old movie

Movies that were released a few decades ago can be termed old movies, however, this is also related to the individual's age. The old movies for my father are very old movies for me. New movies for my father are old movies for me. Movies from silent era and black and white can be easily termed old movies. The confusion s with the movies made in the 80's and 90's. Some people classify these movies as old movies. Even though these movies are old, I do not classify these movies as old movies because the filming techniques are not very different from the techniques used today

Not necessarily black and white though. Gone With the Wind was a 1939 classic and still it is done in colored form, one of the films that used the technology of having a wider range of color in film for the first time. It is a far cry from those black and white films without much audio like the ones Charlie Chaplin did. The 60's and 70's films are more advanced I think. There are more colored ones but still in the earlier 60's, they still did black and white.
On the other hand on the argument of the film "Lord of the Rings" being an old film... I think it is a modern form of film with a fictional theme that has a feeling of a period or classic form of film.

Gone with the Wind is a perfect oldie to me, and as you say you can found it in color, but it's still a classic, a golden one.

Those bring me so happy memories of him, because he made me love old movies.

I have to agree with you on this one. I watched The Lord of the Rings as a kid when it initially came out, and considering I’m only 26, I wouldn’t consider those movies to be that old. I mean, The Fellowship of the Ring came out in 2001, which means it hasn’t been out for even two decades yet. Some people consider 80’s movies like Back to the Future to be old, but I think that still doesn’t cut it.

My choice for this thread was the 1974 movie Young Frankenstein, which I mean is technically going a longer way back, but an “old” movie would probably be more like something from the 1960’s and back.

That's what I think. Categorization of old movies actually depends on your age. The old movie for you will be a new movie for dad. For instance, if your dad is 70 years, Movies like Titanic, Lord of the Rings are new movies for you. But for the generation that was born after 2000, these are already old movies. I was born in the eighties, therefore, old movies for me are the movies from 60s and 70s. The movies in the 50s are very old movies for me.

When I was a kid, my mother was deeply in love with Julie Andrews for her angelic and really sweet voice. She introduced a Julie Andrews movie to us entitled 'The Sound of Music.' It is a musical movie. The movie is about a nun who fell in love with a widower navy captain who has seven kids to take good care of. The movie also showed how the nun and the widowed navy captain ended into marriage and how they conquered all the trials of Nazi.

"The Ten Commandments" is the only one I can think of at the moment. This is a 4-hour running film which was already restored digitally but this was a classic Hollywood film back in the 1950's. I remember this as a Lenten Season tradition where all tv programs were temporarily halted to give way to this film and other religious themed movies in our country. It was anchored on the biblical excerpt on the life of Moses as he lead the Israelites out of bondage from Egypt. It also showed how obstinate these people had become despite of all the signs and wonders and God's love and compassion. The special effects may pale in comparison to today's technology which is understandable but I bet this was highly acclaimed during its time.

I love "gone with the wind". I really love the film and eventually I got hooked on reading the book. I rarely see films that had the same impact on me which drove me to look for the book it was adapted in and seriously read it. One of the novels that I avidly tried to finish and even stayed reading even in the wee hours of the night. I don't know if it was about the period or the character that attracted me the most about this particular film but I must say that it really has a good plot and a very interesting twist and turn in the story. Other films that I would prefer are Schindler's List and The Godfather.

I think another "back to the future" movie for me. I really like this movie series from Michael J fox. This old movie brings back a lot of memories of my childhood. I really love see this movie with new characters, adventures and how they will confuse the viewers again.

Back to the Future is a classic. I was a huge fan, with merch all over my room, and watching the tapes at home all the time. I got so excited when my family took me to Orlando, and we went to Universal Studios, and I could experience the ride. That was exactly like being in the movie. I was even wearing the multicolor cap of Marty McFly.

I know that this film is in black and white for the sake of aesthetics and not for the lack of color film at the time of it’s release, but I’m a huge fan of Young Frankenstein.

Released in 1974, the movie was directed by legendary director and comedian Mel Brooks, and starred the equally legendary Gene Wilder. Wilder plays the role of the original Doctor Frankenstein’s grandson, as he inherits his grandfather’s Transylvanian estate and follows in his footsteps to become an equally mad scientist.

It’s a hilarious movie with plenty quotable moments, and I’d definitely recommend giving it a peak even if you’re not a fan of older movies.

When it comes to old movies, i thought of Charlie Chaplin. It's when movies are made with silence and gestures. I have seen one of those movies on a museum and i'd say it's genius provided with the unavailability of tools and equipment back then. I saw a short film called The Knock Out by Charlie Chaplin and this movie was released on 1914.

Casablanca starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman comes to mind when I'm thinking very old movies. I watched this film in the 90's, and liked it a lot. It's a spy thriller - love triangle kind of movie set during world war 2. Humphrey Bogart who plays Rick a tough guy and night club owner has great acting skills and his lines are just great.

I’ve never actually watched Casablanca because it was way before my time. I was born in 1992 and this movie came out in 1942! 50-year difference there. That being said, I’m still familiar with one of its most famous lines: “If you don't get in that plane you'll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.”

Okay maybe I didn’t know the entire quote, but the “maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow” part has been quoted in dozens of other shows and movies since then. Until not long ago, I had no idea that one of the most famous quotes in cinema was from Casablanca.

I have not tried watching those films with white and black screens. I have only watch the sepia color. It is a filipino classic movie. Since we have cinema one at that time, when I tried watching it I got interested with the plot. Although the color of the screen or scenes was kind of a bit weird for me because it was my first time. It did not matter because the movie plot was good.

Has anyone seen Picnic (1955)? It's about a Labor day picnic in a small town of Kansas. There's a guy named Hal, who comes to this town to meet his old friend, a rich guy, and that day he meets this beautiful girl named Madge. It's a very romantic/drama movie, because Madge is dating the rich friend, but she's attracted by Hal, which is a poor/unemployed man. I know that's an oldie one, but I don't know why, I really enjoy watching it.

I am a big fan of the Matrix too, especially the first one and it stands as one of the greatest sci-fi adventure films ever. Seeing Neo be "the one" in the end is satisfying to watch. I wonder why it took so long to shoot and release the sequels.

On a personal note, I am quite sad with how the trilogy ended since Neo has to sacrifice his life for the sake of Zion. Nevertheless, the plot was excellent and is a must-watch.

It would be the horror films back then and one of them is Stephen King's Children Of The Corn.

My favorite old film is A walk to remember. This is based on the book by Nicholas Sparks. The story is about a guy who falls in love with a girl who is going to die due to a severe disease. The magic romance between the two characters is very inspirational. The guy changed a lot because of Jamie (the girl on the movie). This movie shows that love is unconditional. Aside from the story, what makes this movie great is the actors, anyone will fall in love with how they portray their characters.

Mine is "The Sound of Music". This movie is very classic and suitable for the whole family. It is an American musical drama film that was released in 1965.

The Godfather. The main story is about Michael accepting his role as the future don and family heir. We see him take gradual steps throughout the movie, taking more and more responsibility until he turns into something that he did not want to become. One of the most excellent character arcs in movie history and it is only taken further in the next part.

The acting was superb. Every actor gave their best from Al Pacino and Marlon Brando to Robert Duvall and James Caan.

The Hunt for Red October is one Jack Ryan film that I've watched countless of times. It was a bestselling novel of Tom Clancy who is considered as the top dog when it comes to writing spy thrillers. It's about a Russian admiral who wants to defect to the US with the pretense of being a rogue admiral who seeks to bring nuclear destruction to the US via a nuclear submarine they've commandeered. So both the Russians and Americans are after this sub and making it more thrilling is that the person who's vin command of the sub is the greatest sub commander in russian history and this makes a hell of a story. It stars Sean Connery and Sam Neil as the rogue Russian officers and Alec Baldwin as the military analyst Jack Ryan.

While scrolling through the thread, I suddenly realize how old I am. Are these movies really old? It seems only a childhood away from me. But I respect the people who gave good black and white old films that I also like: 12 Angry Men is on my top list, black and white or new releases. Casablanca, the Chaplin films, and The Sound of Music are classics. Most films mentioned here are great ones, but I don't think they're classics, at least not for me. What I would say a classic is afilm that was made way before I was born. Don't get me wrong, I'm not 70 or older, I'm in the late 30s, but I wouldn't consider The Godfather, The Titanic, and heck, The Lord Of The Rings as classics. Here's a Japanes director who've made classic films in black and white (a little surprised it was not mentioned here: Akira Kurosawa - he is right up there with the greats.
