Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!

[deerpark 83]

I've embarked on a journey to watch the most highly rated older movies.

 

Planet of the Apes was pretty good.

 

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was good.

 

Rear Window was weak.

 

The Godfather was OK, yah thats right, just ok.

 

I'm just going to say it, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, sucked!  There, I said it.  And you know what, you cant do jack about it!

 

Up next, Once Upon a Time in the West then Casablanca.

 

And they better not suck either.

[Mikeythumbs 1]

Casablanca was ok. Never saw the other one

[blksheep 466]

Never seen any of em...

 

Bits and pieces but never all of em.

[checko 180]

Planet of the apes was meh. Never seen Rear Window. 

The rest are absolute classics. I liked the Maltese Falcon.  Watch some of the Marx Bros too

[SmartAss 11]

Movies with same actors/director that were good if not better...

 

Soylent Green

The Last Detail

The Birds

Scarface

Dirty Harry

High Plains Drifter

Mr Roberts

The Battle of the Bulge

The Great Escape

The Caine Mutiny

[71ragtopgoat 23]

Mr Roberts Very Good  What was the name of the movie with Clint Eastwood where he is cutting through the German lines with a bunch of grave diggers to rob a bank?

That one was great.

[svt3183 14]

Another vote for Kelly's Heroes, one of my all time favorites.

 

Sand Pebbles is pretty good. Not funny at all, very tragic and a fairly accurate depiction of a time gone by. 

 

Plenty of good older movies out there to watch. Having a 21 year old son I've learned that part of the issue is getting past the film technology of the day.  

 

If you like Casablanca, and Bogart in general, check out African Queen. Classic Bogart.

Oh and Operation Petticoat. Silly, funny movie. Filmed in 1959 with the moralities of the day. A little refreshing I think.

When you watch Casablanca and think, "wow, these are some corny cliches", remember that this is the movie where they came from. When it was made, they were all brand new. and became cliches over time. It's like watching Citizen Kane. Everyone copied from it.

My all time favorite Humphrey Bogart movie is "Treasure of the Sierra Madre". I think that even today's audiences would appreciate that one. Badges, we don't need to stinking badges...

As for Clint Eastwood Spaghetti westerns from back then, try "For a few dollars more".

Another classic old western movie to see is "The Wild Bunch".

If you want to see a very early Eastwood movie, try Ambush at Cimmaron Pass. He's an awesome bit part antagonist from before he made a huge name for himself.

[Hooligan 0]

Scarface is gold.

 

I liked The Searchers, but I may be biased since the first Star Wars blatantly copied a few scenes.

 

The Shootist was a good movie and good end to Wayne's career.

[brucin 923]

Another great Eastwood film: The Outlaw Josey Wales

[NicePants 58]

I'll put in a vote for High Plains Drifter. One of my favorite Eastwood movies. Another great movie is Unforgiven if you've never seen it, although it is much more recent than everything else that's been mentioned here.

[bulpup 98]

Hmm. If Rear Window was "weak" you might want to give up your quest, at least in the drama area.

 

Here are two little known classic comedy's from the forties:

 

The Miracle of Morgan Creek

 

The Great McGinty

 

The first is about a woman getting pregnant while at a soldier's farewell dance during WWII

 

And the other is about a bum made into a mayor via crooked politics.

You have irratically awfull tasts in moveies ;-) (I guss that mean irratically good also :-)).

 

The Godfarther 1 is one of the best movies of all time, any self-respecting gun owner knows this..GF2 was great too...GF3 is not so good.

 

The Good/bad/ugly - I guess you don't really have any guns do you ;-)...This is a +10 classic - you just need to do concious release of reality a little...Kinda like when you watch WWF - just not as much :-).
