The 300 Spartans (1962) is a classic.

Patton (1970), But I also like the Sean Connery "James Bond" movies starting with Dr. No (1962) and lets not forget the Three Stooges movies which started in 1933 and lets not forget the great Abbott and Costello movies started in the 1940's (Remember Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, the mummy, the invisible man, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, go to Hollywood, go to Mars, and lets not forget Buck Privates)...LOL

Released in 1927. Way ahead of its time.

"The Great Santini" (1979) Have it on Beta, VHS, and DVD. Followed closely by "The Godfather."

Oldest, probably High Noon (1952) with Gary Cooper.
I also like most John Wayne movies...The Searchers, Rio Bravo, The Longest Day (awesome!), True Grit, Son's of Katie Elder, among others. Clint Eastwood..The Good, the Bad and the Ugly...watched it at least a dozen times.

Yeah, i like mostly old westerns.

There are almost too many to mention, SGT Private RallyPoint Member, but since we're commenting on a military website, I'll offer up All Quiet on the Western Front (1930). It's based on the novel by Erich Maria Remarque, published in 1929. Lew Ayres (pictured) won the Academy Award for Best Actor. Also pictured is the first edition cover of the novel. CAPT Kevin B.

To Kill a Mockingbird comes to mind for me. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some even older than that but I don't know the years many I like were actually released.

Twelve O'Clock High (1949) - "Chewing out the Air Exec"

A great scene from "Twelve O'clock High" starring Gregory Peck ("To Kill a Mockingbird"). Peck plays General Frank Savage who has just been assigned to a B-1...

Napoleon 1927 by Abel gance director a 4 hr silent classic rereleased around 1980 by Francis Ford Coppola the score was gorgeous by his father Carmine Coppola I'd seen it while I was on active with the music by a live symphony orchestra totally mind blowing special effects an entire book was written about how it was made trust me if you haven't seen it I finally found a vhs tape copy on eBay a few years ago well worth it honest
