none because im not a try hard hipster pseud

Citizen Kane to be completely honest with you

Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans

The Quiet Man.

either Wizard of Oz or Metropolis

I don't like many movies from before 1960 honestly

things get better over time

it's a waste of time to consume old shit

t. genius

Nosferatu, still my favourite horror film

The Good Earth.

Rear Window

Night of the Hunter

I'll say Citizen Kane because its the only movie I've probably seen from before 60. Otherwise I would've said To Kill A Mockingbird but that's 62

This came out in 1960, can I count it?

This. Tested IQ of 145 here and will tell you anything from before 1970 is a waste of time.

I was going to say Pocketful of Miracles but that was 61 so Citizen Kane or it's a Wondrrful Life.

FPBP

Sunset Blvd.

That jean Renoir one I can't remember the name of. (I liked the cuckolding) The thin man series. (Racism and cute dogs) Anything with peter lorre, evepesially the ones where he plays a chinaman. The Orson Welles movies where Burton plays a Mexican. Anything with music by my homie Hoagy Carmichael or by Bernard Hermann. Anything with posters by Paul rand. Anything where fatty Arbuckle rapes and murders his costars.

The Seventh Seal

Bergman is fucking amazing

His Girl Friday.

I'm not even gonna try to be a reddit hipster so my choice is Wizard of Oz.

Merry Widow - Chevalier
Thanks for that epic contribution to the thread.
>I have nothing smart to say but I will speak anyways!11

Movies where Peter Lorre is a Nazi >>>>> movies where he is Asian

uh, no sweetie

The Unholy Three.

Godzilla desu.

...

Topper, still extremely funny to this day

Boxing Cats

...

ITT people pretend to like movies they seen their grandparents talk about

Rashomon
A Man Escaped
The Third Man

The great dictator since it's the only one that i've seen

Little Rascals are still entertaining. Plus Looney Tunes stuff is mostly pre 1960

Pre-60s movies were basically just theatre and most of them were just afwul. There are obviously some exceptions, but film as an art form had yet to mature. Almost of the best actors of the period had any interest in doing film or especially television. There were some legends like John Barrymore that eventually ended up in movies, but that was long after he'd destroyed most of his credibility and he was often visibly drunk on set. Almost everything from the 30s and 40s was absolute garbage because nobody took film seriously. Fight me.

Twelve angry men

>T-THEY MUST BE LYING ABOUT WATCHING OLD MOVIES

You do know TCM exists, right?

The original Star Wars

>being alot like theater makes it bad
That's your own opinion. If you prefer well crafted dialogue over explosions that's a good thing.
That guy probably watches only capeshit and thinks everyone else does too. Just ignore him.

...

Had to watch this in a film studies class. Some of the worst cringe I ever saw was the hat after the movie when students desperate to seem hip explained why they enjoyed it. They basically just want to tell people they enjoyed it, so dupe themselves into thinking they did

This was incredibly stupid

>If you prefer well crafted dialogue
you don't get to the theatre much, do you?

Song of Frankenstein

It's a huge cliche, but Casablanca.
Maybe Seven Samurai

Shane

Intolerance

*Son

I saw it on ((AMC)) so of course they spent 15 minutes explaining how the scene with girl resting her head against the brown bedpost was a metaphor for how much white women lust for black men/bbc (not joking)

I'm interested....

Metropolis. It's unironically one of my favourite films.

That's also incredibly stupid
>tfw to smart to fall for the race meme

Ben Hur

the first comfy film

it is mildly entertaining but yeah that is a thing with normalfags
though i also believe that Modern Times is quite more endearing

I was always glad when they found the extra footage in Argentina. I saw the restored version of it on TCM.

Bridge over the River Kwai

It's absolutely god tier (especially for its time) and really (unironically) makes you think.

Bridge on the river kwai

Not that user, but I thought The Gold Rush was some of Chaplin's most relatable work

Elevator to the gallows

These, as well as:
>It's a Wonderful Life
>The Apartment
>Rear Window
>Vertigo
>Hitchcock in general for pre 60s
>Breathless
>The 400 Blows
>French films in general pre new wave
>La Dolce Vita
>Wild Strawberries
>The Seventh Seal
>Tokyo Story
There's nothing wrong with "theatre", whatever that really means. Film was more than mature enough in the 50s, see: Hitchcock for American cinema, etc, and also many foreign directors, e.g. Bergman. Although I can't speak for earlier on like you mention, but nonetheless classics like It's a Wonderful Life and Citizen Kane stand out as worthwhile even by today's standards.

If you're going to stretch the release date requirement at all, there's only one correct choice.

The Wizard of Oz
Singin' in the Rain
It's a Wonderful Life

Shows what you guys know, there are plenty of old movies that normies like.

Is this considered "New Wave"?

Singing in the Rain

Reminds me of actors taste in movies. Anytime I check out a movie some actor said they loved, it's always a dud

BLACKED

...

>but nonetheless classics like It's a Wonderful Life and Citizen Kane
Like I said, there are certainly exceptions, but by and large, you can skip pretty much most movies of the period. Granted, you can skip most movies of this period as well.

Yes, modern Hollywood filmmaking is certainly better than any old shit - wrong! Watch more film, pleb.

the only reason people struggle to find these enjoyable is because they have been told they are great

Red River
The Maltese Falcon
Paths of Glory
Pinocchio
Dumbo
On the Waterfront
A Streetcar Named Desire
Seven Samurai
High Noon

The Searchers

...

ikiru.
first movie that made me cry

hey yell bud.

...

Great movie, greater music. You might also like les diaboliques if you haven't seen it already.
I generally like french movies, but I hated a bout de souffle. Is there anyone that genuinely likes that clusterfuck?
A personal favorite is A Canterville Ghost (1944), mainly because Margaret O'Brien made me brap

Really disappointed in nu Sup Forums for the lack of Japanese titles, wonder what happened in my absence.

You're embarrassing yourselves. Sure the west was pretty silly as far as filmmaking goes at the time but there was a literal golden age dawning in Japanese cinema, well-known fact. Nearly everything in pic related is worth watching, and lots of it aged extremely well. The 60s in Japan were even better.

>lack of Japanese titles
>there are multiple posted in the thread

Yeah like 5% of posts. Seven to ten years ago you'd see half the thread fapping over Kurosawa and Ozu.

Pajeetkino BTFOs nipkino, sir

So the entire thread should consist of Japanese film for you to be happy? To what end?

I enjoyed Metropolis but I'm torn between The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca for my favorite.

Yojimbo wasnt until 61

The Red Shoes

What if I don't want to experience the filthy hindoo poverty

I'm actually pretty ignorant of anything bolly before 1960. Were they still doing half of their shit with song and dance back then?

It just makes me sad how this used to be a film buff board but now it's flooded with casuals and television series bingewatchers. Discussion quality has taken huge hits.

Ikiru, Shichi Nin no Samurai, Throne of Blood, Rashomon, Hidden Fortress tho

I forgot Throne of Blood was earlier but Yojimbo is admittedly one of his best films

Gojira

Godzilla.

Charulata is pretty good.
Not all of it but there were some musicals like Mother India.

the lavender hill mob

I agree, I definitely think the 60s was the best decade for Japanese cinema, though the 50s would be second. Dunno what the fuck happened, I mean I love anime but they really dropped the ball on cinema since then. Though Kitano is great when he feels like it.

Can't decide between 12 Angry Men, All About Eve, North by Northwest or On The Waterfront

This is why all the other boards conisder Sup Forums a laughing stock, myself included.

And as far as contemporary film goes, Korean, Hong Kong, and Taiwanese film are far superior to Japanese (Joon-ho, Kar-wai, and Edward Yang/Ang Lee come to mind, respectively). Hirokazu Koreeda is pretty much the only worthwhile practicing filmmaker in Japan, excluding anime directors who direct live action (e.g. Anno). As it happens to be, anime is in fact more worthwhile in terms of artistic merit than Japanese film. Very sad state - please don't post Japanese cinema again, it's an embarrassment.
