What’s Your Favourite Movie From Before You Were Born?

Here’s a fun one for this week’s Off Topic – films, but only ones before you were born.

A friend brought up this question at a birthday recently, which was more fun to ponder than first thought. A lot of my favourite films are around the ’90s, when I was growing up, so that disqualified a lot of classics.

Like the TMNT movie. I know, I’m terrible.

Eventually after double checking the dates, I landed on the entertaining Labyrinth with Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie. Came out the year before I was born, and my first exposure to the film was on a school trip somewhere (with a high school teacher determined to remind everyone that Connelly was actually awesome and we were just too young to appreciate her beauty).

I will add one extra qualifier, mind you: don’t pick the original Star Wars films. That’d make things way too easy, otherwise. And you can’t have the original Star Trek either, much for the same reason.

So with those off the table, what’s your favourite movie from before you were born?
