What are some OLD good movies ?!
Question: You think that the Eighties films are OLD? Oh dear... It's too bad you don't open yourself up to older films since those are relatively recent. You aren't even learning about actors you aren't familiar with, which is too bad. However, I'll try to stay with the Eighties:
Back to the Future trilogy
Karate Kid trilogy
Star Wars IV-VI (Yes, the first one is in the Seventies, but...)
Indiana Jones trilogy
Mad Max trilogy

EDIT: The Back to the Future trilogy movies were pretty fun.
Depending on your age what do you consider old?
Black and white movies? Or movies like from the 80's or something?
Less Than Zero (1987)
Plot. A college freshman returns to L.A. for the holidays at his ex-girlfriend's request, but discovers that his former best friend has an out-of-control drug habit.
cast.
Andrew McCarthy, Jami Gertz, Robert Downey Jr. & James Spader
Comedies:
What's Up Doc? (1972)
Murder By Death (1970's)
Drama:
Witness for the Prosecution (1940's?)
Rear Window (Hitchcock!!!....need I say more? :)
16 candles is a classic and revenge of the nerds is funny!
You can't go wrong with any of Sir Alfred Hitchcock's older films, like Dial M for Murder, Rear Window, Vertigo, Rebbecca, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and Strangers on a Train, Shadow of a Doubt, and North by Northwest.
For comedy, check out the Marx Brothers! Some must-see Marx Brothers movies are A Night in Casablanca, A Night at the Opera, Horse Feathers, Duck Soup, The Big Store, and At the Circus.
Epic, classic films to see would be The Ten Commandments, The Sound of Music, Gone With the Wind, Ben Hur, and The Wizard of Oz.
Other good Bogart films (aside from Casablanca, of course) are The Treasure of Sierra Madre and The River Queen.
Finally, for the Christmas season, try It's a Wonderful Life and the original Miracle on 34th Street.
back to the future, ghost busters, ext...
Pretty in Pink
The Jerk
Pennies from Heaven
