Could you define 'old'? Is it pre-80's? Pre-70's? Because 'old' a very subjective term.

I think for the purpose of this, we should have old mean "any movie that would probably be shown on Turner Classic, which has recently added movies up through the 70's.
some favorites no one's mentioned yet:
Plan 9 From Outer Space
Fantasia
Forbidden Planet
Saturday Night Fever (mostly for the music than anything else, actually)
Rocky Horror (Let's do the Time Warp again!)
any of the Sean Connery James Bonds, but especially Thunderball or Goldfinger
Star Wars (the original came out in 1977)
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Dr. Strangelove
Vertigo (best Hitchcock movie ever!)
Pollyanna
Casablanca (no one mentioned this classic?)
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

I'm just going to define "old" as "black-and-white," because I never know when a certain movie was made :/ So here are my favorite black-and-white movies:

12 Angry Men
The Mark of Zorro
all the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movies
Shaggy Dog
The Wizard of Oz (well, at least part of it was black-and-white :P)
Psycho (and pretty much anything else Hitchcock made)
