Looking for some classic movie recommendations (30+ years old)!

el_mariachi said:Thanks so much for the suggestions...👍
I've actually seen most of those already, but you definitely reminded me of a few others...

Oops! What was it you were actually looking for? I thought you knew... 😁

Anyway, here's a few more that just popped into my head:

Citizen Kane
Straw Dogs
Z
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Seventh Seal
Les enfants du Paradis
Jules et Jim
1900
African
The Queen's Guard
Thieves Like Us
Sunset Boulevard
O. Henry's Full House
Les miserables

Tarzan—you know, the jungle king played by Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan 👍is such a classic, isn't it?

For instance, things like:

- Greta Garbo: Ninočka, Anna Karenina, Queen Christina, Lady with the Camellias, What Makes a Woman Run...
- Clark Gable—do I even need to go there?
- Vivien Leigh...
- Humphrey Bogart.....
- Gregory Peck.....
- John Wayne
- Maureen O'Hara
- Audrey Hepburn
- Grace Kelly
- James Dean
- B.B.
- Elizabeth Taylor
- Paul Newman
- Ava Gardner
- Ava Gardner
- Jack Lemmon
- Natalie Wood

Or maybe some epic historical spectacles: Ben-Hur, Cleopatra, Moses, Quo Vadis, Rome, Alhambra...
Or perhaps something adapted from the plays of Ernest Hemingway or Tennessee Williams...

What else am I missing?
😲 😁 🙂

Williams?
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof 👍

Absolutely. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof featuring Elizabeth Taylor & Paul Newman. That's top-tier cinema right there.

Thanks again.👍

Have you seen this one? It’s funny how few of my friends around here have actually watched it, even though if I recall correctly, it swept a few Oscars. 😁
Personally, I think it’s such a sweet movie. I always seem to forget the name of the actor who played Henry, too... he’s in so many other films, but the second the credits roll, his name just slips right out of my head. 😁

I guess there are still a few on this list I need to catch up on. Like Yojimbo, for instance... 😁

Birch? Is that the one about us in Collar? If it is, then I've seen it, though that title doesn't ring a bell for me. 😕

Birch belongs to Baba's, and they've been hashing out the story with Collar..
Yojimbo is a masterpiece... There’s this one sequence where a single camera angle captures three different sides of the fight for a solid two or three minutes straight..
Anyway, Leon basically remade it with Clint (for a couple more bucks), and then there's that terrible knockoff starring that "German" guy (Bruce Willis) in Last Man Standing.

Leon, from what I can tell, doesn't really make bad movies. 😁 I think I've only seen maybe two or three that weren't my thing, but everything else? Totally great.
I actually wanted to pick up Yojimbo the other day as part of a set with Hidden Fortress, but the seller was being a bit much with the price. *spits* Oh well, I'll snag it eventually...
They never seem to air his stuff on TV here, either. It's such a shame. They just don't get it.

From those final breaths in Cabirijin nights, through Stalag 17, all the way to Cabaret...

👍 👍
hell, yeah. 👍

...The Deliverer, Above the Coward’s Nest (he's still got a few years to go, but whatever), Reckoning at the Coral Reef, A long day, Fire coaches, ....

Has anyone mentioned the time machine?

Any thoughts on where I could track this down?
Please don't tell me I have to hunt through some local video rental shop... since I'm not in the US right now, and even if I were, I really want a copy for my own collection at home. 🙂

Jack Harris3 said:Any clue where I can track this down?
Don't tell me it's just sitting in some local video rental shop, because I'm not even in the States right now, and besides, I want it for my home collection. 🙂

...heh...you basically can't find it anywhere unless you happen to know someone over at NBC, or if some collector just happens to have it sitting on a shelf. Honestly, if anyone actually owns a copy, I’m probably next on the waiting list...

Hell, yeah. 👍

Isn't this movie just incredible? Most people have never even heard of it, and if I try to explain the plot, they think I've completely lost my mind—but hey, whatever, it's their loss. It's such a shame the haters didn't give it a chance back when there was a B. Wilder marathon on. They clearly don't have a clue.

🆙 It’s just not right.
Where does Milton Breuer live? I feel like heading over there and knocking on his door myself. 😁
I would honestly love to watch that movie again. It's such a shame that here in America, you can find every bit of low-quality garbage imaginable, yet all the good stuff we produce gets completely ignored...

Like someone already said:

Dr. Strangelove, 1964 by Stanley Kubrick

..even the black and white version is 😁 😁
