Great movies before the 90s?
I am a great movie fan and I've watched a lot of movies. Problem is I find it very hard to find a good movie that I haven't watched and that's why I've set my eyes on older movies and I found great movie classic like Princess Bride, Karate Kid and Amadeus in the 80s.
However, I am in my 20s and don't know any older movie fans.
So that's why I am asking you to recommend me movies from the 80s and maybe 70s which are dark area for me.
Thank you in advance!!!

I loved the remake of star Trek. but I think with this one movie,tey are trying to reimgine star treck so future genrations love it too. But I would like to point out one thing about Willy Wonka. I do not consider that a remake, but re-interpretaiton. This is becuase Tim Burton went burton went back to the Orginal book, which was nothing like the first movie. (the book waaaaaaaaay better then the movie. the oginal movie disgusted me it was so different.) However, stories like transformers, GI Joe, Get Smart. I hated. These were not re-imagined books, but bad remakes of decent shows. I guess it's doe to (a) orginal thoughts are hard to come by, and I do believe that this current generation was geared more toward 'peformance' then 'creativty' (b) the special effects are better now then were in the 80's or the 60's but that doesn't mean the movies need to be reshot with 'today's tech. BTW, the remake of psyco, was so close to the orginal, (even right down to the blood going down the drain,) that They should have just colorized the old version. every single word and shot was exactally the same. (and perkins was way better this new guy.)

I've been surfing more than three hours today seeking the answer to the same question, and I haven't found any interesting debate like this. It's pretty worth enough for me.

2001: A Space Odyssey
(best movie ever and I'm only 13)
But I think this movie is older than what you're looking for though, I'm not really sure.
