I'll second Andrei Rublev (it's 1966, not 1969) not to mention Tarkovsky's Mirror, Solaris and Stalker which came out in the 70's.

You are the first on on this forum (I think) to mention Spirit of the Beehive. Good one. The Conformist is also a good one. So I'll see you on those and raise you one:

The Spider's Stratagem, 1970

tylen01 · 01-31-2008, 01:05 PM

Only two for me:

Star Wars

Lord of the Rings

Probably not old enough to be classics... but I still want them.

goodstuff · 01-31-2008, 01:06 PM

I'm happy that the Dirty Harry series will be coming to Blu soon!

Yeah, calling Lord of the Rings a classic, is like calling "White Chicks" a block-buster!!!!!
