hey everyone i am fairly new to watching films/ dvd's or what ever it is you want to call them.

I am looking for some recommendations of older films. I am trying to expand my film watching. As i said in my intro thread the oldest movie i have is Child's Play.

I am open to all suggestions.

So please don't hold back.

thanks for you suggestions and your time

Luis

Here are some of my favorites
Citizen Kane
All About Eve
Blade Runner
Gone with the Wind
Seven Samurai
A Face in the Crowd
Dr Strangelove

Don't know what you like, so I don't know what to suggest.
Check out my link, in my sig and you can see my modest collection, and you may find something you like.

thanks movie diva, i will check those out and the link too.
i like action, drama, comedy, some horror, family/kids a little bit of everything i have yet to find a western film that has really stuck with me.

I've run across many good movies I never would have seen by doing this process.

By default, it'll sort the movies that are in the highest number of lists first. The stuff with many checks are generally pretty solid but the more you work your way through it, you'll find films that may or may not be to your liking.

They also have some lists based on genres, so if you like horror, there's a horror list with 500 movies.

thank you mister peepers i appreciate the help

Westerns ok
Lonesome Dove- Mini Series Great Western
Unforgiven
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
Shane
Deadwood was a great series that ended to soon
Once Upon a Time in the West

Have you watched any of the Classic Horror movies, Frankenstien, Wolfman, Invisable Man, and for comedys Young Frankenstien and Blazing Saddles, and there is a thread about the Marx Brothers.

thank you again and no i have not watched any of the classic horror movies

I'll second Unforgiven.

My Neighbor Totoro
Kiki's Delivery Service
Castle in the Sky

Look 'em up.

try "El Dorado" with John Wayne. I'm not big on westerns either but that's a good one. If you're looking for more of a western spoof try "Blazing Saddles"

Also try:

Yojimbo
Sanjuro
Red Beard

It's A Wonderful Life (1946) for a feel-good story.

I'll assume you like horror given you mentioned Child's Play, so with that in mind:

Psycho (1960) - Hitchcock
The Shining (1980) - Kubrick
Halloween (1978) - Carpenter

Nice site. Thanks for sharing!
