Cheyenne is great. I basically leave my TV tuned to the western station. Here's my question, have you seen Cowboy In Africa? And if so where can I watch it, cause I like the premise of it, but I'm having a heck of a time finding it anywhere.Google says that Roku might or might not have it, I can't even access the Roku website so I can't verify it.
I'd always heard of The Seventh Seal , but had never seen it. I eventually had to watch it for a film class and I found it a profound watch. Max von Sydow is incredible in it. I highly recommend it.Yeah, Ingmar Bergman is considered one of the greatest and most influential film directors of all time.
Hard to believe it hasn't been mentioned yet, but the original King Kong. Son of Kong isn't as good, but still a fun watch.The original King Kong is all the more amazing once you realize all the hard work that went into the vfx for that film, all without CGI.
Others not mentioned :
The big 3 silent film comedians - Chaplin (Great Dictator was mentioned), Keaton and Lloyd
Ray Harryhausen works - Mighty Joe Young, The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, 20 Million Miles to Earth
Them! - first and best of the "big bug" films of the 1950s (Tarantula is good, too)
The Incredible Shrinking Man
Freaks
I also enjoy old bad sci-fi / horror, so will watch stuff like The Giant Claw, The Deadly Mantis, The Giant Gila Monster, The Killer Shrews, whether standalone or through MST3K / Rifftrax / Svengoolie.
More modern :
Ed Wood
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
I'm sticking modern black and white films in the same bucket as Justice League: Justice is Gray: a completely unnecessary stylistic choice with no narrative value (Pleasantville excepted of course).I find this take silly, given the existence of films like Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, and The Lighthouse.
Yes. Many colour films from the 50's & even 60's look dreadful compared to their B&W cousins.Often times this is because cheaper processes like Eastmancolor really took off around this time, and the dye-based prints fade over time if they aren't archived on longer-lasting stock (or digitized). They can fade alarmingly fast if they aren't stored properly. It's a major reason why The Wizard of Oz looks a lot more lush and vibrant than, say, Jaws. The technicolor prints from the 1930's are much more stable, though preserving them does come with its own set of challenges.
Those are great.I like Night of the Hunter
Night of the hunter is good.
The third man is pretty interesting. I've got more on the list

I like several black and white films.That's a good one too.
50's House on Haunted Hill is one of my favorite horror movies.
Rebecca (Hitchcock) is good but it pissed me off how shitty they were to Rebecca
