Favorite older movies

  • Benny The Jet
    Some friends and I have been getting together and we'll watch an older movie on Sunday nights. The only rule is it has to be at least 20 years old. So far we've watched Wall Street, Jaws (shark week), and The Lost Boys.

    What are some of your favorites that would make this list? Don't have to be classics, just older movies you personally liked.
  • Fred Garvin
    Hellfighters.
    It's a John Wayne movie from the late 60s (I think) about oil well fire fighting.

    Good list, The Shawshank redemption is not over 20 years old though.
  • Laley23
    To Kill a Mockingbird, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and My Cousin Vinny

    First 3 that came to mind, for some reason. My Cousin Vinny is 20 years and about 4 months old...just makes the cut lol.

    Crap. I took out Fargo, Pulp Fiction and Usual Suspects but thought Shawshank was in late 80's. I also took out Last of the Mohicans, but I guess it turns 20 this year.
