Anybody else like old black-and-white movies?

[The Hammer]

Watched a good one last night:

The Sign of the Cross (1932)

You can't go too far wrong with Cecil B. De Mille as director.


Here's some of the better ones I've watched during the past decade:

The Lost Patrol (1934)

City Lights (1931)

Death Takes a Holiday (1934) (Meet Joe Black is the remake, original is better)

The Crusades (1935)

Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)

The Petrified Forest (1936)

A Tale of Two Cities (1935)

The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936) (much better than the silly 1960s version)

Kid Galahad (1937) (boxing movie with Bogart and Bette Davis)

Young and Innocent (1937)

Stagecoach (1939)

Les Misérables (1935)

The Lives of a Bengal Lancer (1935)

Destry Rides Again (1939)

City for Conquest (1940) (One of the best boxing movies)

Tower of London (1939)

Beau Geste (1939)

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939)

This Gun for Hire (1942)

The Glass Key (1942) (Miller's Crossing has basically the same plot)

Gentleman Jim (1942)

For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943)

Bataan (1943)

Casablanca (1942)

Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (1944)

They Were Expendable (1945)

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)

The Set-Up (1949)

The Third Man (1949)

Winchester '73 (1950)

Sunset Blvd. (1950)

High Noon (1952)

Paths of Glory (1957)

Run Silent Run Deep (1958)

A Night to Remember (1958)

The Burmese Harp (1956)

The Seventh Seal (1957)

Pork Chop Hill (1959)

Fires on the Plain (1959) (Ichikawa was probably the best ever at tragi-comedy)

The Longest Day (1962)

To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)

King Rat (1965)

Ones that come to mind, Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Seven Samurai, Casablanca, Maltese Falcon, Frankenstein.

Surprised to hear mention of City for Conquest. It is often a forgotten classic.

[UTEP]

The original Scarface is a classic. The 1983 version bit off almost every scene of the original.

Looks good. I'll add it to my watch list.

For some mysterious reasons there are great movies that are missing from the list, such as: Metropolis (1927), M (1931), Modern Times (1936), Citizen Kane (1941), The Maltese Falcon (1941), Ladri di biciclette (1948)... and so on.

Arsenic and Old Lace is a fun classic.

[QUOTE=MDPopescu;14867456]For some mysterious reasons there are great movies that are missing from the list, such as:

Metropolis (1927) never seen it

M (1931) didn't like it

Modern Times (1936) never seen it, plan to watch it though

Citizen Kane (1941) never got around to watching it, plan to eventually see it though

The Maltese Falcon (1941) Recently bought it, saw it back in the 1990s, will re-watch it soon

Ladri di biciclette (1948) Heard it was good, but I can't find it

Sunset Blvd. (1950) It's included in the opening post. I bought it a month ago and recently watched it, it's a true classic (better than I expected)

Casablanca is awesome.
