Musing of the Moment: Old Movies

I've been watching some old movies on Turner Classic Movies over break, and I've come to one solid conclusion: Grace Kelly is hotter than the hinges off the gates of Hell. 

I watched Rear Window the other day. 

I put out a query on FB about movies that came out before 1980 that any young person should watch. Here's what the mind hive of friends produced:

• Rear Window
• The Maltese Falcon
• Taxi Driver
• Blazing Saddles
• Dog Day Afternoon
• 12 Angry Men
• Monty Python and the Holy Grail
• Airplane!
• A Clockwork Orange
• Alien
• Rocky 
• Enter the Dragon
• Star Wars IV: A New Hope
• Godfather I and II
• The Blues Brothers
• Animal House
• One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
• Saturday Night Fever
• Grease
• Close Encounters of the Third Kind
• The Shining
• North by Northwest
• The Graduate
• French Connection
• The Sting
• Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
• Cool Hand Luke
• Casablanca
• The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
• To Kill a Mockingbird
• Roman Holiday
• Poltergeist

I've seen most of these except for the following: Taxi Driver, Dog Day Afternoon, Close Encounters, Cool Hand Luke, and Roman Holiday.

The one movie I would add to that list is Life of Brian.
