Well, I guess Superbad or Bad Santa wouldn't be up their alley.
I second Blazing Saddles, or the Eddie Murphy titles Coming to America or Trading Places, unless you want to pony up and import the Japanese edition of The Producers (the recent musical; Universal owns the rights to that in the US). I really can't think of any others.

I'd suggest Kung-fu hustle, it's funny and it's not exactly cutting edge comedy!
For 62-69 Superbad would not be a good choice. Maybe Bad Santa, but even that is stretching it. I would say Wild Hogs.
Wild Hogs isn't great but something I am sure they all could relate to...
Agreed, it isn't a movie for the ages, but it was quite entertaining in an easily accessible way.
Unlike Superbad which I love, but I think some people may be offended by.

+1. Among all the titles this is probably the only one that does not have any "toilet humor" and that's why it will be better for your target audience.

Wild Hogs is without a doubt one of the worst movies I have seen in the past couple years, and I have seen a lot of movies (many of the bad ones being subjected to watch by my girlfriend, Wild Hogs included).

All of these movies SUCK!!! Well, Blazing Saddles might get them (isnt it HD only), it's old and might have appealed to them in their wheelhouse while in their 40's... but Night at the Museum? Come on! Wild Hogs? Christ, are you in their will? Do you wanna still be?
Someone almost 70 is going to maybe want some vintage comedy, you might get away with a title like Midnight Run or Grumpy Old Men, something geared toward older audiences. Superbad? Jeez... is Caddyshack out (HD only again)?
Better to upconvert a regular title of a good comedy than foist friggin' Superbad on some old unsuspecting retirees...

World's Fastest Indian. Great movie. Not exactly a comedy but does have humor mixed in but would be right up this age groups alley. I enjoyed it.
Great recommendation. Seconded. Enough laughs to keep it light, great story, about times these guys will appreciate.

It's probably WB, so dual format. I just picked it up on BD from Amazon during the new promotion.
