You fail at referencing "Dude where's my Car?", dear SC.

"Logan's Run" is 33 years old. The you had "Star Wars: A New Hope", "Close Encounters" in 1977 and "Superman", and "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" in '78 & '79 respectively.

now I feel ancient... all those movies came out well before I was born, but I just caught myself thinking "oh, if only they made movies like those still"

except of course the original star trek, because william shatner is a douche

"Logan's Run" is 33 years old.

I guess it's done the run, then.

[cinema guy]

And it really makes me cry that I'm as old as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"

Me too.

And 'True Grit', which qualifies as an old movie, because as someone pointed out:

old movies had John Wayne in them...

I guess being as old as an old movie makes me old too.

When people speak of "old movies" or "old TV shows", I almost always assume they mean something from the 80's at most. I am often disappointed.

If you begin a sentence with "You know that old TV show...", I'm going to think of The Avengers, The Persuaders, the original Mission: Impossible series, and anything around that time first. The Renegade and Highlander don't qualify as "old" to me. Not just yet. The saddest part is when this is said by people who are older than me. -_-

Dude Where's My Car? is one of those movies that was funny the first, second, maybe third time........but once it got to being put on TV and on every Saturday for several weeks straight, you just want to throw the damn remote at the TV.

Oh, the best part of that movie anyway was the lovely cruise we had around the Enterprise when it was in space dock.

It was supposed to be funny?

Me too! I thought old movies had John Wayne in them... Thanx for making me feel about 200 years old

I always thought of movies that appeared on the classic movie channels as old. I am only 29. When I was 24 I was flipping channels and they had Back to the Future on. It came out when I was five. That was an omg I am old moment.

[ChaoKuang]

See, I think I would have just been like. "Oh, triple pickles?" "And then?" "Extra mayo and vinegar? Sure." "And then?" "Extra black olives and pepper? Righto." "And then?" "Double hot sauce? Your call..." And so on.

I'd load up on the things you can charge him extra for. Or just hand him an empty wrapper and tell the idiot he gets his sandwich when he stops being an ass.

[Bloodsoul]

I always thought Optimus Prime from the 80's Transformers cartoon sounded like John Wayne sometimes.. does that count?

Of course considering what today is, I'm up for some Nosferatu.

[Nohbody]

I always thought of movies that appeared on the classic movie channels as old.

Unless that channel's name is "American Movie Classics".

Thanks to network decay, the definition of "classic" they seem to be using is something that makes me suspect some folks in AMC leadership positions need to take a whiz quiz (urinalysis).

1. of the first or highest quality, class, or rank: a classic piece of work.

Actually most definitions of classic have nothing to do with age but AMC and many of the others use to think that unless a movie was old it couldn't be a classic.
