The movies that are old, and yet still just awesome. After re-looking at Where Eagles Dare thanks to the Misfits song, I just wanted to see what you guys came up with.

Here's my incomplete list:
Casablanca
The Great Escape
Zulu
The Bridge Over the River Kwai
Where Eagles Dare
James Bond series
Apocalypse Now
Scarface
The Godfather (haven't seen the second yet)
Platoon
Starwars doesn't seem that old, but still
Jaws
Patton


God knows how many more there are, but I jolted my memory from AFI's 100 greatest movies

They're remaking Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory...with Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka.

Heh I only remember maybe not even one of the Jaws movies. Heh in some Johnny Depp article they said that he's going to try to add some sort of little twist to the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory. I don't remember many older movies. I haven't watched many but I will . When I was younger I liked The Nightmare Before Christmas

I would call almost all of those new classics, not old classics (which is redundant). Old classics would be movies from 40s and before, in my estimation.

Well, I'd hardly call the Godfather a new classic.

You're right, but it would be tough to actually put a timeframe on old and new.
