I was having a conversation with a friend about movies that have aged well. By that, I mean an older movie which if watched today does not seem silly, but for the hair styles and maybe the clothes, it could be put on today, almost word for word.
Here are a few I think aged well:
1. From Here to Eternity
2. The Manchurian Candidate
3. 2001
4. To Kill a Mockingbird
5. The Godfather I and II

Ninotchka - I caught this a few weeks ago, and was pleasantly surprised.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (most definitely) and its two sequels (only slightly less so).

- Harold & Maude still works for me. It's spawned some imitators, but I thought its quirkiness has always been timeless.
- The French Connection - likewise, it's been imitated so it's not as fresh as it was when it came out, but whatever, still very watchable.

It's been a while since I saw it, but the first time I saw the early 1930s version of All Quiet On The Western Front, I was pretty amazed with how austere, unsentimental and modern a war movie it was. I'd like to see it again sometime, just to see if I feel the same way now.

Last night, I was flipping channels and came across Chariots of Fire. That seemed to age well. My wife had never seen it before enjoyed it.

I would have agreed, before LOTR came out. After LOTR came out, I found it tough to watch Star Wars.

Citizen Kane - It was made 65 years ago, and it still has sequences that seem ahead of the time.
