great underrated old and old [sic] movies
First of all, kudos to whoever already listed Guys and Dolls. Marlon Brando singing. What more needs to be said.
A couple of my favorites:
12 Angry Men. Henry Fonda, Melvyn Douglas. Barely controlled rage in a classic battle between logic and prejudice. It's classic study of the democratic process on a micro level in which, for a change, democracy wins.
A Thousand Clowns. You'll laugh, you'll cry.
The Professionals: A western in the mold of The Magnificent Seven.
I know there are many more, but I actually have to get some work done today.
