Especially "older" if you watched them or they were in theaters when you were a kid.
The list made me feel older. I am a sucker for sci-fi vintage flicks, so I would add Forbidden Planet and the original Blade Runner. I also liked the thinking that came with Clockwork Orange, though I liked the novel more.

"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
If you haven't seen them, I'd recommend just about anything by the Coen Brothers, but especially No Country For Old Men, Fargo, Blood Simple, The Big Lebowski, and Millers Crossing.
There is so many, but here's a few that I know if I see them on, I'll watch them.
The Philadelphia Story (Jimmy Stewart - Cary Grant - Katheryn Hepburn)
Support Your Local Sheriff Support Your Local Gunfighter (both - James Garner)
Hitchcock Movies (almost all of them) Rear Window - Jimmy Stewart - Grace Kelly North By Northwest - Cary Grant Eva Marie Saint Dial M For Murder - Grace Kelly - Ray Milland To Catch A Thief - Cary Grant - Grace Kelly (Maybe it's Grace Kelly I like)
Heaven Can Wait - Warren Beatty
Chinatown - Jack Nicholson
John Wayne - Almost all of them. Notables: Sons of Katie Elder War Wagon Big Jake The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Rio Bravo McClintock
I would definitely recommend Knives Out. Good old fashioned "whodunnit" that was actually nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Came out last year. Very well-written, very entertaining.
Silverado and I don’t like westerns ... what a cast ...
Let it Ride .... flew under the radar ... I love comedies and I LMAO through most of that movie ...
My wife tells me I’ve lived a sheltered life and Ver’s thread about who would play u from tv drove the point home ... I didn’t know around 75% of the actors that were mentioned ...

I loved Silverado too. Its right there with Tombstone, Unforgiven, Pale Rider, and The Outlaw Josie Wales of my top 5 Westerns. (Not counting Lonesome Dove, which was a TV miniseries, but the greatest Western of all time, IMO.)

That one was great. Another bumbling racetrack movie was the "The Longshot" with Tim Conway and Harvey Korman. My FIL and I watched both of those together before he passed. My favorite quote from that one: "It was a shame to take a fish like you off the market".
And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul. - John Muir
Since the start of the pandemic lockdown, Spectrum Cable has been giving me HBO and Showtime for free. In my old age, I have started waking around 3AM and not being able to fall back asleep for a couple hours, if at all. Diam mentioned laughing his ass off at watching Let It Ride - I found myself laughing MY ass off, at 3 or 4 in the AM, while watching 3 movies I had never seen: Bridesmaids, We're The Millers, and Horrible Bosses.
Grace Kelly might be the most beautiful woman to ever "grace" the silver screen. She was breathtaking.
She really was a beautiful woman. If I had to come up with someone to give her some competition, a young Bridgette Bardot. But wow, she did not age well.
Am I perfect? No Am I trying to be a better person? Also no

She was beyond beautiful, she was the embodiment of elegance and “grace”.
If the recommendation is simply what's available on my Smart TV (not a greatest overall type thing), then I'm limited to what's offered for free currently. Of my 3 free channels (Roku, Tubi or Vudu) and what's available, I've enjoyed re watching:
I gotta watch that one .. Conway and Korman should be great if it’s anything like they were on the carol burnett show ... the dentist skit made me *L* as hard as anything I’ve ever seen ....
I watched Psycho the other night ... that’s such a classic

Hey, one more... Just watched this last night, truly awe-inspiring. Basically a hybrid movie/documentary. True story of a man who went from abandoned six-year-old in Kenya - to millionaire - to giving it all away to change the world. I promise you won't be disappointing!
This ones gotta be way up there for me. Started shooting pool at 9-10ish yo. Best friends dad had an old "bar pooltable" without the "coin mechanism. Was on a traveling bar league as well. I've had one since 15-16. Have one now. New cushions/refelt this fri.
Jacob's Ladder. (the 1990 original) Still one of the freakiest movies I have ever watched.
Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
John 14:19 Jesus said: Because I live, you also will live.
Not a movie, but D.A.P dads against predators. It's on youtube.
It's sick. These dads pose as young children. Here in n.w. Ohio..............one nab was just 13 miles from my house.
Predators are out there, no matter where you live. As a father............I can't tell you how much I worry. And any parent of a daughter, even son, ought to be worried/concerned.
We put dogs down for biting someone. Think about it.
My best friend had a beautiful old Brunswick regulation slate table in his basement. He lived like 8 doors away. We played there for years in his basement.
We went to NYC to Ames Pool Hall where The Hustler was filmed. Just to check the place out.
Long ago in Cleveland around 80th and Euclid. There was a real old authentic pool hall called Joe Tuma's. It was like going back in time. You went up a old staircase to the second floor of an old building. When you stepped through the door it was always dark except for the lights on the tables. There was an old bar. Like long and ancient. Around the tables were real pool chairs. High leg chairs with spittoons on the floor.
There were about 12 regulation tables. Absolutely flawless old Brunswick slate tables with leather net pockets. There were two snooker tables. Three billiard tables and one 5' x 10' Olympic table. Along the walls there were racks of pool cues most had locks for private cues. It was like a private club. There were some unreal players there. Old dudes who could really play. I used to watch the billiard players. They were incredible.
At the time I was a teenager. On occasion we would play hooky from school and go down there and play.
From what I was told about the place was: Joe Tuma was an old racketeer who ran a numbers racket out of that place.
It was like that place was from the 1920's just frozen in time. We all thought it was totally cool.
The Hustler was a great movie, and it was pure luck that I watched it for the first time about a week before seeing The Color of Money which was the sequel several years later ... decades later! The Color of Money was also good.
Others that spring to mind:
Any of the Godfather series. The Life of Brian. Platoon. No Country for Old men. Fried Green Tomatoes Mississippi Burning Green Mile Shawshank Redemption Rocky Horror Picture Show
The list could go on and on!
The more things change the more they stay the same.
