Dirty Dozen poster her - I love all of those as well (or really just about anything with Cary Grant). And for the 50 and over poster, I am 38 and have loved old movies since I was a teenager. I married someone who feels the same way about old movies, so 90% of the stuff we watch is older than we are They just don't make movies like that anymore. Almost everything that comes out today is a remake of something else (or a remake of a remake). Can't people come up with original ideas anymore?

Yeah, I'm 32 and I've loved old movies since I was young. I've watched "Meet Me in St. Louis" more times than I can count.

Gigi. Why my parents let me watch a movie about a prostitute, over and over again, I can't say. But the music is the best!

Me too. DH and I went through a phase where we ordered tons of WWII movies from Netflix. Of course I can't remember now what any of the titles were.

Oh, and of course Star Wars, 1979, right?

Why? I am a high school teacher, and some of my students are really interested in films and know a lot about old movies. The Razor's Edge ( the original) is great.

Ditto on the why. I'm 32, and growing up I'd rather stay in and watch an Audrey Hepburn marathon than anything else. Lawrence of Arabia was a revelation, I'd try to stay up late (and invariably fall asleep) anytime I found out Logan's Run was going be on TNT late night. I was all over Nick at Night; I can still sing you the theme to the Patty Duke song despite not having seen it in 20 years. I blame it on my grandmother, she started us off early with things like Gone With the Wind.

My favorite old movie? Probably My Fair Lady, or Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I'm a sucker for musicals.

High Five!

And my favorite Audrey Hepburn movie is How to Steal A Million Dollars. I love Peter O'Toole.

With the exception of Valley of the Dolls (never saw it), I love every movie mentioned on this thread so far. Adding: From Here to Eternity, High Noon and The King and I.

Ditto on the Sting.

We used to watch a lot of the old screwball comedies like The Lady Eve, or My Man Godfrey.
