Favorite movies that predate you

[Cyched]

Reading some of the favorite movies thread, and got me thinking. Which movies do you like that came out before you were born?

My list:
1. Animal House
2. Christmas Vacation
3. Hoosiers
4. Caddyshack
5. Shawshank (this came out when I was 3, but I was too young to know about it until later so I counted it)

If you’re an old fart, any classic movies will do

What are yours?

I'll have to think about it but American Grafitti popped into my head and that movie still stands tall for me.

Chinatown is amazing. The Natural(birth year). Star Wars, the first 3. I'll keep thinking on it.

Island of Lost Souls (1932)

Godfather 1 and 2.
Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back.

For me, it's got to be North By Northwest. Quite partial also to The Music Man and West Side Story. (Born in 1973, for reference.)

Good list. I wish I was that young.

2 questions:
1. Define "predate."
2. Is it even possible for @ImJustKCClone to answer the original question?

Maybe that first one that Thomas Edison made.
