Old Movies You Have to See? 60s and Older.

I really liked "The Roaring 20s"


and "Public Enemy"


What next? "Rebel Without A Cause"?

it's a wonderful life i watch sum on wgn cable

I'm a big fan of both Bogart and Cagney.

So for Bogart it's the African Queen

And for Cagney it's Great Guy

OK there's plenty, let me dig. I'm a sucker for old and overlooked movies.

- Some classics (occasionally overlooked):


Paths of Glory (1957) - one of the very most intense war movies

Spartacus (1960)

12 Angry Men (1957)

The Iceman Cometh (1960)

On the Waterfront (1954)


- all movies with James Dean


Rebel Without a Cause (1955)

East of Eden (1955)

Giant (1956)


- some great early Paul Newman:


Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)

The Hustler (1961)

The Hud (1963)


- Billy Wilder the master:


Double Indemnity (1944)

Sunset Boulevard (1950)

Ace in the Hole (1951)

The Apartment (1960)


- Alfred Hitchcock the master:


Strangers on a Train (1951)

Rear Window (1954)

North by Northwest (1959)


Sorry lazy to dig up the trailers but these are a few i can recommend right away.

Then there's many more, the whole Film Noir. John Huston movies which I love, plenty of amazing international movies etc. I could go on and on but this should be enough to get a taste.

The movies and the Oscars belong in the past.

Some great films have been made for sure, but until Hollywood is broken up, I refuse to even acknowledge it as a legitimate art form.

great list! I approve

Hear, hear

Good movies are never old. There are too many to mention but I chip in with Fritz Lang's "Scarlet Street":

Historical adventure-action type movies

There were so, so many films made in the pre-color TV era.

I like the movie 12 Angry Men. It was on the Netflix some time ago.

Key Largo is my favorite oldie.

Paint Your Wagon...Hilarious

Cool Hand Luke

The Wild Bunch

The Good The Bad and the Ugly

Cat Ballou

I almost forgot "Forbidden Games", the most touching French movie after WWII.

Actually watching that right now! My sky box downloaded it yesterday for me as a film it thought I might like to see :)
