You know you're getting old when these films are now considered "old classics".

Boy, no kidding, kids. . .I'm starting to feel like an "old classic" myself with these titles included!

There are just too many 50's classic sci-fi and horror movies I'd like to see in high definition, such as those by American International Pictures. So, I won't even bother to try to list those. Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, and many more classic movies, love those old horror and sci-fi flicks

! ! !

WOW, can't believe that I forgot to mention the Ray Harryhausen movies made by Columbia Pictures.

Ben Hur
The Ten Commandments
El Cid

Must have:

* TRON
* Forbidden Planet (Too classic to even remake in my opinion.)
* The War of the Worlds
* The Day the Earth Stood Still
* Logan's Run

7 Faces of Dr. Lao

Not seeing anyone mentioning this movie. It stars Tony Randall and Barbara Eden. I saw it as a kid at the theater and on TV many years later. Thought is was sort of special and still do.

I think it would make a good Blu-Ray candidate.

Also, how about movies like:

First Men in the Moon
The Time Machine (original)
Journey to the Center of the Earth (original)

All good flicks!

I really want Escape From New York. It's 27 years old, so I'd think it could be consider an old movie.

Older than that, I'd want the old monster movies too. Dracula, The Wolf Man, etc.
