Chase Rogers
Juan Martin
Kino too.

I recommend M by Fritz Lang starring Peter Lorre to anyone who hasn’t seen it yet. I’ve seen sixty classic films in the last year and it still stands out as one of the greatest. Makes the Maltese Falcon look like steaming dog shit.

Been in a noir mood, gonna check out Laura because so many people have been recommending it. Also it’s 1963 so technically off topic but High and Low by Kurosawa is one of the great black and white thrillers of all time.

Kansas City Confidential is a great example of post-war Noir
Carter Evans
It's so fucking good
Samuel Young
Only recent pre 1959 I've watched is A Man Escaped. Incredibly tense, great watch. Amazing what you can achieve with a single location.
John Carter
Night of the Hunter is amazing, so many great shots

Hiroshima Mon Amor is fucking awesome, draws parallels between forgetting the attack of Hiroshima and forgetting your soul mate. Incredible cinematography and emotional power.
Also The Red Shoes is a technicolor marvel, a very Sound of Music-like movie without the singing. Opulent set design, perfect cast and even creepy at times. You can’t believe what beauty they could capture on film before the fifties.
Solid list. Don’t forget North by Northwest.

>The Red Shoes
Look up all the films produced by The Archers
Wyatt Campbell
Saw this today. Kinda disappointing. Not on par with his best in terms of mystery and suspense, but overall a decent movie.
Joshua Ramirez
The Stranger is a neat little movie where Orson Welles plays a nazi hiding in America
Jonathan Richardson
Why is everything Orson Welles touches gold?
Ethan James
It isn't. Good director and actor, but he couldn't write an interesting story if his life depended on it.
David Mitchell
One of my favorites.
Camden James
>He saw Chimes at Midnight and didn’t throw the dvd directly in the trash afterwards
Ethan Ramirez
Check out a Detour. It's a noire from 1945 but it's actually still quite relevant in terms of style. It's short as well.
Tyler Rogers
The Best Years of Our Lives is another great one
Made it in the mid 40s but has the feel of a 1970s film. Follows the lives of 3 guys as they're getting home from WW2
Liam Green
the Bowden girl is HOT
Jason Ross
This movie is really funny.
Charles Howard
Cary Grant has a hilarious smug energy. It’s so ridiculously pompous and charming at once.
