I'm a fan of some of Arnie's films, so I'm not surprised to see Predator on the list here, but I didn't see Total Recall, which belongs on the list. The Running Man and Conan are also fun, but TR is a must-see.

+1s to the people who've recommended the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns. They are a must-see, and the bigger the screen you have, the better.

Has anyone included Das Boot? Get the series, not the film. If you can find it, Stalingrad (the German film) is also phenomenal.

A couple of people have mentioned earlier Bonds. Some of them (For Your Eyes Only) are awful. Others (A View to a Kill) are good.

Finally, Gremlins and Ghostbusters.

On a side note, I didn't think of these films as 'old', probably because I am but I don't see myself as 'old'. I suppose to someone in their early 20s I would be practically geriatric though!
