I'm sure I'll think up more later. I love old movies, especially John Wayne westerns.

Not necessarily [that] old but worth watching anyway is Memoirs of An Invisible Man. A couple of true classics woth watching are The Mummy (Boris Karloff) and Night of the Living Dead (George Romero). I'd highly reccommend watching Night of the Living Dead if you intend on seeing Land of the Dead, which will be in theatres in less than two weeks.

Just watched it last night...

"Sweet Smell of Success" with Tony Curtis and Burt Lancaster.

A very underrated film. Incredible dialogue, great camera, fantastic acting. Shot in b & w as color would have spoiled it.

Beautiful film. Some really incredible lines are in that movie.

The Mission and The Black Robe. Two very different movies around a similar premise. Seen together they are... interesting.


A Terry Gilliam fest - 12 Monkeys - the movie where I suddenly realized that Brad Pitt can actually act! (I would never have believed it before seeing the movie...)

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

Brazil

Lost in La Mancha (Gods I wish that the movie had been completed...)

The Fisher King

And thematically linked - Monty Python and the Holy Grail... one of the most over quoted movies in gaming!

The Auld Grump

If you enjoyed The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, you should look into Karel Zeman's The Fabulous Baron Munchausen, from 61', which is part of the original inspiration for Gilliam's take. Good Czech fantasy.
