Person fighting to unwrap a classic film, for example (5)

O-D-E

Must be OLDIE, but I don't get the 'person fighting to unwrap a..' bit.

Incidentally:
Primate's brother's inviting one in (5)

LORIS

Had to Google why brother's and discovered the Lor Brothers - seems to be a modern street dance group.

(S)OLDIE(R)
