What does that mean? Are you dying?

It's Barnes. It means he will be a new persona in a few days.

---

If not hours.

Spencer's Mountain
The Big Country
Where the Red Fern Grows
Giant
The Ten Commandments
To Kill a Mockingbird
Any John Wayne or Clint Eastwood western

These are the movies I grew up watching with my grandparents from ages 4-8ish.

In the Heat of the Night
12 Angry Men (with Henry Fonda)
Stalag 17
In the Heat of the Night
Giant
Imitation of Life (with Lana Turner and Juanita Moore)
The 10 Commandments
To Sir With Love

Dang folks, why hasn't KING KONG (1933) been mentioned? Also:

Sgt. York
Universal Monster movies (Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolf Man)
Any John Wayne movie except The Barbarian and the Geisha lol
High Noon
Beast from 20,000 Fathoms
Tarzan movies with Johnny Weismuller

Rebecca (1940)
The Great Dictator (1940)
Ivanhoe (1952)
Dr. Strangelove (1964)
Lawrence of Arabia (1962)

Toby McGuire Spider Man

I'm a big fan of the 50's monster movies, but the two that really stand out are:

- Godzilla (the Japanese version without Raymond Burr is much better)
- Them!

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World! Hilarious movie!

The Great Race! Awesome movie. Saw it as a kid and loved it!

I love The Great Race! Natalie Wood in the pie fight...

Casablanca is boring.

12 Angry Men (my all time favorite movie)

Arsenic and Old Lace

The Time Machine (the 1960 version)

--- and yes, I realize 2 of these have already been mentioned...

The Philadelphia Story is the greatest movie ever.

I find it interesting that Citizen Kane hasn't been mentioned yet. It was #1 on AFIs list of top 100 movies of the 20th century. It's not one of my favorites.

Mutiny on the Bounty with Bogart
Cabaret
The Quiet Man
Harold and Maude

Predator

How can it be, it is not even the best Cary Grant - Katherine Hepburn movie. Bringing Up Baby > The Philadelphia Story.

Dr. Zhivago

(Fascinating movie if you're into Russian history and hate Commies)

Double Indemnity
Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte
Sunset Blvd.

Just to throw one in I don't see:

All Quiet on the Western Front

To Kill a Mockingbird
Citizen Kane
Big Jake
Chisum
Man with No Name trio
Dr. No / From Russia / Goldfinger / Thunderball - early 60's Bond was awesome, and these are all making the rotation on Starz
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House
Gone with the Wind
Wizard of Oz
Bridge Over the River Kwai
12 Angry Men
Shane
The Hustler
The Great Escape
Hemingway Movies - The Sun Also Rises, Old Man and the Sea, For Whom the Bell Tolls, A Farewell to Arms

I'd probably go ahead and say half the movies that have been listed are the type if I'm flipping though the channels
And I see them I'll stop and watch.

The Manchurian Candidate with Sinatra. Greatness.


Bit of a tangent: I saw some flyer for a theater adaptation called "12 Angry Jurors" recently. I nearly had a detached retina rolling my eyes.

Silver Streak

12 Angry Men
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington

Those two are perfect. It's been forever since I've seen it, but I remember absolutely loving On Golden Pond too.

Not "old", but the first movie I saw in a theater:

Flight of the Navigator

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)
