And by classic, I mean anything over 40+ years.

-Ana-ta-han
-La Caza (The Hunt)
-Hell in the Pacific
-Lord of the Flies
-Sands of the Kalahari

"The World, the Flesh, and the Devil" (1959) starring Inger Stevens, Harry Belafonte, and Mel Ferrer is one. I'm not saying it is the best, but it is the only one I can think of.

You are right - it is not the best movie.

Taxi Driver (76) if isolation from society counts

[–] somesunnyday (2078) 6 years ago

If that counts I'll add Repulsion

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78532) 6 years ago

Ive never seen it but from the synopsis it sounds fitting

[–] somesunnyday (2078) 6 years ago

Great film. You should check it out

Does Cast Away count?

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

why wouldn't it ?

[–] GlenEllyn (21653) 6 years ago

Probably not an old enough movie, but it's what I think of when BillHicks mentioned isolation.

(I'm not real deep...)

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

I ignored the Classic part.

[–] GlenEllyn (21653) 6 years ago

We'll call it "new classic." No, wait. "Contemporary classic." Sounds "classier."

Well if we are doing neo classics too, then I nominate Into the Wild.

Castaway was a great isolationist movie 👍

The Shining is only 38 years old so in 2 years it will be a perfect reply:)
