    All the epic WWII films can always be relied upon, although since I've invested in iptv I very rarely watch them.

    Loved Spaghetti Westerns as mentioned previousky in the thread, the Sergio Leone stuff. Real old school films, Casablanca is a favourite classic of mine.

    Am not much of a poster these days but it just so happens I’ve been watching a fair few after coming across a couple of boxes of DVDs/Blue-Rays around Xmas time.
    These 3 are my favourite rediscoveries so far:
    Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?
    The Lost Weekend
    Some Like It Hot

    Plenty more to dig out.

    How old does a movie have to be to be considered an old classic?

    Perspective or your age I suppose. The Wizard of Oz was 40 when I was 18 and Raging Bull about a year. Both are classics but one wasnt yet at 18.
    Films I'll watch any time on the telly. Some like it hot, White Heat, The Maltese Falcon, The Philidelphia Story ( and the musical version High Society), any Hitchcock, any Mel Brooks, Godfather 1& 2, Indianna Joness & Back to the Futures, Wizzardm of Oz and/ or Willie Wonka

    I could genuinely list close to 100 old films and TV series. I used to sit and watch them with my dad when I was younger and it's some of the best memories I've got.

    Favourite 5 off the top of my head would be Rio Bravo, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Ice Cold in Alex, Our Man in Havana, On the Waterfront.

    Lots of Eli Wallach, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, James Dean and Marlon Brando films were firm favourites in our house, as well as lots and lots of Laurel and Hardy. They don't make them like that any more!

    Anything with Jack Lemmon in it. Or Dustin Hoffman. Proper actors.

    As a kid I used to love Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin films, I like the majority of old westerns and although it's not from the golden age of cinema I love The Man who would be King

    I’ll stick to ten (probably pushing the boundary for ‘old classics’ with some)

    The sons of Katie Elder
    The shootist
    Big Jake
    Rio Bravo
    (Can’t stand that John Wayne, me)
    Midnight express
    The life of Brian
    How the west was won
    An American tail
    12 angry men
    It’s a wonderful life
