Old movie recommendations
(lemmy.world)
I suggest working your way through the film noir top list.
10/10 agree
Will do
North By Northwest
Laurence of Arabia
Yeah I’ve never seen that one
Ever since that sex in the city bit I can’t get “Lawrence of my labia” out of my head.
Double Indemnity. You’ll never look at Fred McMurray the same way again.
Chinatown
'The 300 Spartans' (1962), 'Zulu' (1964) and 'The Great Escape' (1963) are a few of my childhood favourites you might enjoy, based on the films you've listed there.
The Ipcress File
The Man Who Would Be King
The War Lord
Panic in Year Zero
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
or the more serious counterpart:
Fail Safe
Colossus: The Forbin Project
Threads (1984) - not so old, but belongs here with those other nuclear war films.
The Andromeda Strain
Oh, these are right up my alley thank you
12 angry men, the thing from another world, invasion of the body snatchers, the seventh seal, the night of the hunter, metropolis. All these films look great and have fantastic cinematography.
Sunset Boulevard
Thanks, I’ll add it to the list
Philadelphia Story is still one of my favorites.
Taxi driver
Cool hand luke
Casablanca
The Andromeda Strain
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
