On the free side of things I'd also throw out a recommendation for Treesize.
If you've got a few dollars to spend, it may be worth your while to look at another product from Jam Software - Space observer:
http://www.jam-software.com/spaceobserver/index.shtml
Same general features as treesize, but the observer has some nice options like showing file ages, and how long since files were last accessed, which sounds more like what you're asking for.
Our in house storage guy is quite happy with the reports made from space observer, and is using them to get rid of duplicate files across network shares, and archive off non-accessed older files to lower tiered storage.
@ only $250 for a single license it's pretty cheap too. . .

To get a quick and dirty list of files that are so many days old, I'd use MS forfiles from the command prompt (I think this is a resource kit utility).

[THIN] Re: Disk space utilities
I know you are looking for a reporting utility but for quick and dirty view I love Sequoiaview which is a free utility that gives you a colored grapical treemap of the drive. The bigger the square the bigger the file. You can then right click on the square and get properties of the file and it will tell you when it was last accessed. This will at least help you get the larger files off your drive in an expedient manner.
Check it out at:

A bit off topic (but I've seen worse). I'm looking for not just a "how much space" are directories/files taking up, but something that could give me age of files.
I'd like to propose a tiered storage plan, but don't have 20K to buy the top level programs to automatically move aged files. I have to do the moving the old fashioned way by hand and it would be helpful to be able to say:
xxx- files are 6 months old
yyy - files are 18 months old etc.
If I can tell folks, your file hasn't been modified or touched for the last 2 years and it's sucking up 40% of my available disk space. It is a lot easier to sell moving these old files off to tape so I don't keep backing them up over and over again.
