Not a movie, but the OG Twilight Zone is awesome and on netflix.

Can you stand subtitles?

Yojimbo and Sanjuro is a must.

Not a comedy, but 12 Angry Men is legit.

look up the original 'Italian Job'
or find any old mystery science theater 3000 films from that era

"the third man"

Lookup Dr. Strangelove, this is one of the funniest movies I've seen, and it has a stellar cast. Hope you get as many keks as I did

you beat me to it, that movie is spectacular

Also obligatory to casblanca and maltese falcon two of my all time favorites

Watch a Face in the Crowd, user. You won't regret it.

Another random addition, modern black and white 'the man who wasn't there' relatively unknown coen brothers

since nobody has suggested comedies

>bringing up baby
>ball of fire
mccarey
>awful truth
>duck soup
>ruggles of red gap

I know it was the culture of the time and it was prior to the shift in the way drama and in general acting was done in movies but I just can't watch pre 60's comedies, I find them kitschy.

That's why I can really recommend any comedies from that Era.

The Egg and I
Topper
Ma and Pa Kettle movies
Abbot and Costello meet frankenstein
Pale Face

remember the night
come september

go to turner classic movies on demand section. they change it monthly. Nobody will admit it, but Turner has almost all the quality b&w movies.

i think if you watched the majority of the films on the list you'd not only get more acclimated to the theatrical acting style but realize that without the hays production code that the films were more sexual and sophisticated than today's films. when the code passed, dialogue became more subtle, foreplay through wordplay.

Bringing Up Baby is always a good one.

Also, The Women
and Sunset Boulevard

Bumping thread

"His Gal Friday" immediately comes to mind.

Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, and the Marx brothers were brilliant though.

Another good comedy is Arsenic and Old Lace. While some other genres that are good include these:
White Heat
Metropolis
M
The Thin Man (movie series)

Anything with Bogart - Casablanca, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Maltese Falcon, Key Largo.
