To give you an idea, Ive recently watched 'Death in Venice' and 'The Night Porter', both Dirk Bogard films, and Ive had a bit of a Hitchcock phase as well.
Any suggestions for older, possibly rarely seen films I could watch next?

How about The old dark house b/w early 1940s with boris karloff, charles laughton, [donald crisp ?] and a host of other stars.
Its quite eery and a great storyline with a nice twist. Its one of my faves and ive seen it 3 times at least

You might enjoy the Ealing comedies, if you enjoy a snapshot of comedy past. Try The Lavender Hill Mob, Passport to Pimlico and others of that ilk. A film book for Christmas might be a good idea! (Ask for Halliwell's film guide for the definitive history of films.)

Not sure if you are looking for comedy, but Some Like It Hot is a totally brilliant old film (Jack Lemon, Tony Curtis & Marilyn Monroe).

One of my all time favourite black and white movies is
Arsenic and Old Lace
Cary Grant is the Leading Actor
He discovers that his 2 dotty elderly aunts are serial killers
it is v funny but also has his brother as an escaped convict who takes over the house
You really should watch it !!!

Cat on a hot tin roof...Paul Newman and Liz Taylor...Great acting. Or Cool Hand Luke.But my highly recomended one would be Touch of Evil. It's rarely seen and it's very good

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf - Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor are amazing together in it.
