Breakfast at Tiffany's is such a beautiful film :D. I absolutely love the storyline in this film, it's amazing :D. I also really love Audrey Hepburn in this film so much she does such an amazing job in this film :D.

So, what are some of your favorite classic old movies?

12 Angry Men
The Grapes of Wrath
The Ox-Bow Incident (noticing a trend? :D)
Some Like It Hot
The Godfather I & II
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

To name a few (if you consider the last two "classics"; they're from the 70's).

I've always wanted to see this movie :D.

"Citizen Kane". God, I wish I could see that in cinema one day.

"Sting" - because Redford is actually charming there. Damn, everything about that movie is charming :D.

"Blowup". Even if I didn't catch everything the first time I saw it. ...Okay, I didn't catch it the second time either. Still, it was great to watch.

The Dominator, I think those two could be considered classic, if not cult :). I love both (excluding The Godfather II. It was okay, just not that good).

Films which you say 'they don't make them like that anymore!'

Brief Encounter, Brighton Rock, Cleopatra (1964), Streetcar Named Desire, The Red Shoes...

Well, I'm not sure if the word "classic," within the film world, has a concrete definition, but to me personally, a film is classic if it's twenty years old or older and is at least fairly highly regarded.

And...you don't like The Godfather Part II whereas you do like the first? What about Part II don't you like?

Classics of their genre, anyway:

OK, by that definition Dom, if you were a movie, then you'd be a classic... :cool:
