5 Favourite Classic movies of all time.
Well depends how you define classic, I will say pre 1970 as a guide for my choices ...
Le Salaire de la peur aka The Wages of Fear (1953)
Carnival of Souls (1962)
Django (1966)
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Du rififi chez les hommes aka Rififi(1955)

Rififi is awesome!!! For those in the dark, Rififi is Jules Dassin's 1955 heist movie set in Paris. At the time Dassin was blacklisted for being a Communist, but his movie is the original heist movie, and is often referenced by many directors, including Tarantino.
The actual heist of the movie is filmed in silence, no music score, just the noises of the protagonists and their tools.
If you can hack watching older black and white sub-titled films, then this is a must.

Have to agree on a lot of films here really. My favourite film of those that has been mentioned must be Casablanca, though i haven't seen Rififi. Then you have Taxi Driver, which is a fantastic piece. The Good, The Bad And the Ugly is also extremely good.
Of films that hasn't been mentioned I have to spit in some of my favourite classics. 2001: A Space Oddyssey, Vertigo, North by Northwest and Pulp Fiction.
Have to see Rififi...
When do you know if a film is a classic or not?

Well, I don't really care for most classics. Usually just find them boring. I'll go with any movies before 1980 as true classics...
1. Rocky (1976)
2. Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979)
3. Rocky II (1979)
4. Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope (1977)
5. Alien (1979)
I'd also have to add Spartacus (1960), Jason and the Argonauts (1963), Superman (1978), Night of the Living Dead (1968), The Godfather (1972), The Godfather Part II (1974), Blazing Saddles (1974), Death Wish (1974), and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)

2. Day of the Dead
3. The Crazies

I love Romero.

Heh, Night of the Living Dead was made in 1968 and re-made in 1990.... And forgive me for asking... but on what grounds do you consider Spider-man2 and Batman Begins classic films?

at this moment, my list would go thus... in no particular order:
12 angry men
Casablanca
Citizen Kane
Goldfinger
Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)
There are LOADS of 'classic' movies that I love, but I just cannot think of them at the moment!
