One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I still have nightmares about Nurse Ratched.

And I still contend that she is one of the most evil villains to have ever graced the screen. She oozes it.

Royal Wedding, if only for the 'dancing on the ceiling' scene.

Attack of the Crab Monsters
War of the Satellites
Not of this World

Enjoy?

Freaks (1932).

I see Insaniak beat me to Royal Wedding, but I'll put up the original True Grit as a John Wayne classic.

Really great suggestions here. I grew up watching AMC back when it was all old (pre 1980) movies and I have a soft spot for these films.

I find it curious that no one has mentioned my personal favorite classic film Lawrence of Arabia. Great Story, Epic battles, etc, etc. I'd put it up there with Zulu.

Also, I enjoyed the 1939 version of "The 4 feathers" which is a wonderful film, not to be confused with the absolutely terrible, re-revisionist garbage that was the 2002 version.

I haven't seen Royal Wedding, I'll have to find a copy of it somewhere.
