My favourite movie of all time is 12 Angry Men and that was 1957. I know you are a horror fan so just off the top of my head pre 70s you'd have... Night of the Living Dead Psycho Rosemary's Baby Nosferatu The Haunting The Innocents Children of the Damned Peeping Tom Twisted Nerve Devil Rides Out Masque of the Red Death Most of the Amicus/Hammer studio movies Diabolical Cape Fear Night of the Hunter Night of the Demon That's just a few and one specific genre. There are an absolute shitload. When it comes to movies, in my opinion you shouldn't restrict yourself to genre, time period or country of origin. To do so would mean you will miss out on so so much. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murnau's 'Nosferatu', Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis', Abel Gance's 'Napoleon', etc. They take a bit of effort at first, but some of the cinematography is still jaw-dropping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I added Nosferatu for that very reason. Still a stunning piece of work all these years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Yeah 12 Angry Men is possibly the best film ever made, usually floating around on Amazon Prime but I secured myself a Blu-Ray of it instead. Amazing how well some of the 30s and 40s films hold up today considering. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 The films from before the 70s have some really kick ass films that really hold up today. I think I mist have watched 5 films in the last 3 months that were made before 1970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) A shot in the dark (1964) is a work of comedy genius. Peter Sellers at his best as Clouseau Edited August 29, 2023 by Jon Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I’m going to watch some Laurel & Hardy movies in a cinema. But I’ve flat refused to wear a fez, or sit next to anyone that wears a fez, or be photographed with anyone fluttering their tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
