Instead of just pm-ing krypt and tine, I figured I'd make a thread.
I'm a relative noob to classic movies, given the vast catalog available. I saw a lot of the shit everyone sees growing up my age, but I was always a music guy, I'd be way more apt to seek out an obscure band than any sort of old movie. Last few years, I've done the Kubrick films, some Kurasawa, the On The Waterfront/Rear Window classics, a lot of the Hitchcock movies (watching The Lady Vanishes atm), etc. Last 2 months or so, I watched a bunch of old Westerns and war movies, some b&w, some color, mostly from TCM and Sundance Channel and a few on HBO Max. Last couple things I watched were the Dirty Dozen, The Treasure on the Sierra Madre, and The Wild Bunch. Before that, it was the SciFi Dune series, not that those are movies, just mentioning it because I'll genre-jump at any time if the shit's worth watching.
I'm 100% fine with subtitles. I'm not into horror. I just subbed to the Criterion Channel, and it's kinda daunting, paralysis by analysis, which is why I'm starting with Hitchcock.
Recommend me some good-ass shit, pls. Also, if you can, give a small description of why it's awesome. Doesn't have to be specific, just a small reason to watch. Like, The Wild Bunch I just watched, and I did it 2 small descriptions, one that it had slo-mo in action scenes before most, and that there was a lot more coarse living in this movie than most would normally show.
What should I watch?
