Seconding the rec for The Testament of Dr. Mabuse. His lengthy silent 2-parter Dr. Mabuse, Gambler is also pretty great. I went pretty yarnboard after seeing those, drawing connections from Sherlock Holmes stories to the silent French crime serials Fantômas and Les Vampires, through the Mabuse films down to 60s spy stuff

Also, since I'm a Ray Milland superfan, Lang's film Ministry of Fear is good noir fun

If you're into old sci-fi films, you could track down a copy of "Aelita, the Queen of Mars" from 1924. Cool visuals, and a rather pointed treatment of the working class as units to be deployed. Sadly, the spiders from the book weren't included sadness

Loved Red Dwarf when I discovered it. Haven't revisited recently, but I still think about it all the time.
