    Roman Holiday (Hepburn and Peck) was sweet, light.

    Summertime (with the other Hepburn), beautiful...almost has a scent to it.

    Gentlemen's Agreement (Peck again), makes you think.

    Billy Wilder's movies, Some Like it Hot and Sunset Boulevard. Double Indemnity.

    The Third Man, Best Years of Our Lives.

    Preston Sturges moves - Sullivan's Travels, Miracle of Morgan's Creek.

    Hitchcock movies - Shadow of a Doubt is a great one. Notorious.

    My favorite David Lean film (although I love Lawrence of Arabia) is Bridge on the River Kwai.

    some classics and hidden gems:

    Parallax View

    Days of Wine and Roses - See above.
    The Night of the Hunter
    You Can't Take It With You

    Oh, what old movie-watching times we could have :)

    I'd also add a couple of old Peter Sellers films - World of Henry Orient and Being There.

    Arthur Kirkland, the best movie lawyer not named Atticus Finch and DDA is my favorite 70s movie of all time as well.

    On the subject of 70s, I have to add Harold and Maude, Last Detail and Shampoo all from the same director.
  • hedonisthedonist Posts: 24,524
    Oh I just love H & M. Also one of the best soundtracks out there.
  • EnkiduEnkidu Posts: 2,996
    Love Scarecrow, InHiding. Shame on me for missing the Godfather movies.

    And World of Henry Orient is genius.
  • SD48277SD48277 Posts: 12,243
    Gah! How could I forget Harold and Maude...it is one of my favorite movies. :facepalm:

  • If you're looking for something strange, unique, or abstract, then I'd recommend Eraserhead.
    Westworld is a good action movie, and The Good The Bad and the Ugly is a favourite in our family (sphagetti westerns baby!). A little long that last one, but an awesome film for sure! Sensational music too

    Deliverance.
    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.

    As far as Eastwood movies go, I really dig The Eiger Sanction. It was his last movie for Universal until Changeling. He did a lot for them before doing a majority for Warner.

    Anything from the "New Hollywood" era is fantastic. My fave is The Deer Hunter. Others have been mentioned aleady too... Like the Graduate.

    I really enjoy the funny movies too. The Doris Day and Rock Hudson movies - aah! - I recommend Lover Come Back from these, it's hilarious!
    They live I'm not a fan of modern horror movies, and this is really not a horror movie, but a fantastic one.
    The Trial by Orson Welles is also pretty good, made after the novel Der Prozess by Kafka.
    12 Angry Men
    Johnny got his gun

    Oh, and The Party with Peter Sellers :smiley:

    Mmmh. I gotta think more.

    Excellent suggestions so far. Seems a little light on Jimmy Stewart, though....

    Harvey
    Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
    The Philadelphia Story (Stewart with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn!)

    Love the classics. :plus_one:
  • EnkiduEnkidu Posts: 2,996
    How about some Bill Forsyth? Gregory's Girl, Local Hero, and Comfort and Joy.

    And Funny Bones, a weird, but very funny movie directed and written by Peter Chelsom. (Jerry Lewis is in it, but don't let that scare you.)
  • Did anybody suggest Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?
  • hedonisthedonist Posts: 24,524
    Oh man, I LOVED that film! And their home.

    They Live is a horror movie in how prophetic it's become. Same for Idiocracy and The Dead Zone.

    If you want a good old school horror movie, I recommend The Legend of Hell House.

    As for 80s horror, The Sender is underrated psychological horror with Zeljo Ivanek in his film debut in the leading role.

    My favorite hidden gem of the 80s is Something Wild. Easily Melanie Griffith's best performance and a great psychotic breakthrough for Ray Liotta.

    Speaking of Melanie, Body Double was a suspenseful watch.

    I saw that on The Movie Channel years ago. I freaking love that twist ending. It's my 2nd favorite DePalma movie behind Untouchables.

    Working Girl is good but hoooooooooooly sheit is it ever dated! That is an extreme late 80s time capsule especially with that high volume hairstyle of Griffith and Joan Cusack at the beginning. Kevin Spacey steals that movie in a supporting role.

    Enkidu has excellent taste, especially since it corresponds to my own. :wink:

    One of my favorite directors. He also wrote many screenplays, often uncredited. I would add Stalag 17 (WWII POW drama; William Holden is terrific in an unlikeable role) and Ace in the Hole (Kirk Douglas as a cynical newspaper reporter who's willing to exploit a crisis to further his career).

    The Third Man.

    One of my all time favorite movies, and the music is great too!

    Shadow of a Doubt was Hitchcock's favorite of the movies he directed. Notorious is great. I'd also suggest The 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes, and North by Northwest (it features a cropduster :giggle:).

    I'm a big fan of film noir; Out of the Past is one of the best. Also, The Big Sleep, Kiss of Death, Gaslight, Key Largo, Night of the Hunter, and Laura.

    Also suggest The Razor's Edge, the early version with Tyrone Power and Anne Baxter.

    And it's a little out of your time range but there's a great Nic Cage movie that nobody seems to have seen called Red Rock West. I'll just say that it's got more than the usual share of plot twists.
