    Just found the movie "The Fighting Sullivans" and have a date to watch it in 15 minutes! (I think she's bringing popcorn!)

    "Little Big Man" is another decent one.

    What are some of the older selections that you like and/or recommend?

    I was going to say any of the Dirty Harry movies, but those aren’t as old as the one you’re getting ready to watch.

    Cool Hand Luke is another of my older favorites. And Bullitt.

    12 Angry Men

    the entire film takes place within a small New York City jury room, on "the hottest day of the year," as 12 men debate the fate of a young defendant charged with murdering his father.

    Made about 1/2 way through the movie last night and then the eyelids started slamming shut. We'll have to finish it today.

    Some real good movies on the list so far. :handshake:

    Maybe I just should have posted "Good Older Movies"
