Age Before Beauty: The Top 10 Movies Ranked By Oldest Cast Member Age

As young people spend less and less of their time hitting the multiplexes and more and more of their time BitTorrenting movies to their whoozamawhatchits, Hollywood has (wisely) decided to make more movies aimed at people who don't know the difference between a Kindle Fire and the kindle you use to make a fire. This weekend's Last Vegas is a prime example of that release strategy; by casting near-geriatric leads like Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas and Kevin Kline, the studio is clearly targeting an audience that's more familiar with Social Security than social media. This got us thinking: What films have the oldest median age of their primary castmembers?

You can find the answer in our handy infographic! (via Microsoft Excel)

So, how did we arrive at our results?

First, we racked our brains to come up with films that starred a whole mess of old fogeys. Then, we took all of the leads of those movies, found out their ages at the time of said movie's release, and then calculated the median age of those castmembers to come up with our rankings. Here are those figures listed out, in case you want to check our math.
