I've been watching some really old films recently, and for the most part i'm enjoying them. So does anyone have an old film they suggest that i watch? or what is your favourate old film?
Plan nine from outer space. Treat it like the worst movie ever, but replace your disgust with laughter. It's so bad, it's so good.
Casablanca & The Maltese Falcon & The Treasure of the Sierra Madre Humphrey Bogart is brilliant! Tod Brawning`s Freaks (1932) and listen to Marillion`s song Separated Out (they include a piece of film`s conversation into it) - horror Laughter in Paradise (1951) - comedy
Sunset Boulevard Touch of Evil The Seventh Seal My Darling Clementine Sullivan's Travels Night of the Hunter Metropolis Top Hat On the Waterfront To Kill a Mockingbird The Haunting The Big Sleep Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb Invasion of the Body Snatchers The Best Years of Our Lives The Bicycle Thief Portrait of Jennie The Defiant Ones Citizen Kane The Seven Samurai King Kong Godzilla Casablanca The Fountainhead Harvey Cat On A Hot Tin Roof 12 Angry Men Duck Soup High Noon My Darling Clemintine
If you haven`t read Kill a Mocking Bird yet you`d better first watch a film. I was kinda disappointed with it, because it`s sort of book summary, some interesting plot lines were cut.
Loved Metropolis. Loved Cat on Hot Tin Roof, loved the play itself, enjoyed acting out a monologue in an acting class. Loved Dr. Strangelove. Also recommend: Pandora's Box, La Dolce Vita, The Obscure Object of Desire, Un Chien Andalou, Nosferatu, Swann in Love, Diaries of a Chambermaid, Battleship Potemkin, Ivan the Terrible, China Town, Bladerunner, Mourning Becomes Electra, A Place in the Sun, The Virgin Spring, Cries and Whispers, The Flight, The Cranes Are Flying, and anything with Greta Garbo or Marlene Dietrich in it. I don't recommend old Lolita, it's unsatisfying. A short piece you can watch on youtube: Une robe d'ete. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
