Suggest me some good CLASSIC movies?

Question

I'm particularly looking for 40s movies.
I've watched The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Double Indemnity and Treasure Of The Sierra Madre.
70s movies are nice too and other decades are welcomed.

I can't get cable or any of those things, I don't live in the US, so I need the titles...

Answer 1

twelve angry men
the birds
rear window
death of a salesmen (disturbing but good)
magnificent 7
dirty dozen
Alvin York
Mr. Smith goes to Washington
High Plains Drifter
Grapes of Wrath

Answer 2

Wuthering Heights, Gone with the Wind, Madame Bovary, Philadelphia Story, The Yearling, The Postman Always Rings Twice, Mildred Pierce, Gaslight, The Sea Hawk, Dark Passage, Johnny Belinda, Spellbound

Answer 3

White Heat with Cagney, or for that matter any Cagney gangster flick. Few crime movies, if any, have a mother play such a pivotal role. It was one of the first, along with The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre where psychological deviance played a major role(an over the top role) in a movie. Of course if you just want to get a good grade you can probably just pick up on hints that your teacher will drop and brown nose. Otherwise, Singing in the Rain, still an amazing musical. 2001, more than a Science-Fiction movie. Fantasia, pushing the limits of animation. Beyond a cartoon. Alien, Feminism meets the futuristic industrial age. Battleground, WW2 GI humor realistically portrayed.

If you like Westerns, watch "The Good, the bad, and the ugly"....its in the 60s i believe...."The Searchers" is a great film too...If you haven't seen "The Godfather Part 1 or 2", watch them too!

Answer 10

Just get cable or satellite and check TCM's programming often.
Films in "The Essentials" series (Sat. evening, repeated Sun.
afternoon) are particularly choice.
