Looking for newer "old" movies for the cabin fever season

[MossRoad]

Any Hitchcock movie. Any Bogart movie.

Almost an Tommy Lee Jones movie. Almost any Cohen bros. movie. Here s a good example of Cohen bros. and Jones:No Country for Old Men (2007) - IMDb
Made in 2007 but it's a good one.

No Country for Old Men is a great story. Adult in nature for sure.

Second that. Very violent movie. But a great storyline, nonetheless. Acting was superb all around.

Just subscribe to TCM - Turner Classic Movies. If you have FOXNews, NASCAR and TCM - you can pretty much drop everything else.

That would just about cover it. I have a channel called metv that is all old tv shows like Naked City, Peter Gunn, Twilight Zone, etc. throw that one in and its a deal.

My Dad in ~'60-61. 32 Ford, channeled, 4" drop front axle, flathead Merc stroked and bored to max. Uncle and family friends confirmed it ran 12's at Fremont. He cruised/raced Sacramento, and occasionally Modesto about 3 years before the timeframe of "American Graffiti"; movie was about George Lucas and Modesto.

I agree..."Vanishing Point" is a great old movie; car movie at that. Oh, let's add "American Graffiti" to the list.

+1 on Smokey and the Bandit

And RobertN, seeing the truck, and hearing how it was equipped and ran, did more for me this morning than the coffee! Neat! Thanks!

Any Sean Connery film

Another great!

"From Russia with Love" is my favorite....

More great Connery flicks:
The Man Who Would Be King
The Hill
The Anderson Tapes
Outland (not his best, but a fun Sci-Fi flick when you want brain dead flicks)

These aren't Connery, but are engrossing:
The Constant Gardener
Soldier, Sailor, Tinker, Spy (with Gary Oldman, but I've read the Alec Guinness version is great too)
