Trying to broaden my horizons a little, and go back a ways. I haven't seen too many films before 1950, what can Sup Forums recommend?

1. 1943 Heaven Can Wait
2. 1942 Casablanca
3. 1927 Metropolis
4. 1941 Citizen Kane
5. 1940 The Shop Around the Corner
6. 1939 Gone with the Wind
7. 1939 The Wizard of Oz
8. 1946 It's a Wonderful Life
9. 1940 Pinocchio
10. 1933 King Kong

also some japanese core cinemaadhoc.info
Life and Times of Colonel Blimp
The Red Shoes
Any movie made before about 1970 isn't worth watching, tbf.
Union Pacific is a very comfy Western
kill yourself

It's even better than The Maltese Falcon (although I would watch that, too).
I have to recommend Preminger's noirs:
Fallen Angel
Where the Sidewalk Ends
Whirlpool
Angel Face
All great.
Angels with Dirty Faces (1938)
The Grapes of Wrath (1940)
All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)
The Kid (1921)
The Cat's Paw (1934)
M (1931)
Passport to Pimlico (1949)
White Heat (1949)
Double Indemnity (1944)
Rope (1948)
Alright alright alright.

These are the equivalent of asking someone what the best movie of all time is, and them saying The Shawshank Redemption
A lot of Humphrey Bogart films are great. Maybe check out Maltese Falcon and In a Lonely Place
The Most Dangerous Game
Detour
Cat People
The Man Who Knew Too Much
Out of the Past
Bogart was the king of the 40's desu, he had Hollywood by the bollocks so i'd recommend most of his stuff from the 40's
