ooooooh, fun thread!

In my humble opinion the best movie of all time The Bicycle Theives (ladri di bicyclette) Followed by The 400 Blows (Le Quatre Cent Coups) followed by The General by Buster Keaton, followed by City Lights by Charlie Chaplin followed by Citizen Kane, All About Eve, Double Indemnity.

I'm happy with that list ^^B)

Vertigo is the best Hitchcock This is a little with a green dress.

I have to agree on that! I also love Madeleine's perfect grey suit, I wonder who designed it...

The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928)- shamefully only managed to see this silent film recently and was blown away by it- a classic that actually deserves to be called one...

also Greed (1924)- another amazing silent film

 

[TheKiwi]

Everyone should watch the fabulous Pre-Codes "Baby Face" (starring Barbara Stanwyck) and "The Divorcee" (starring Norma Shearer). Great wardrobes in those films!

I really like these 2 films by Luis Bunuel

-Simon del diserto (Simon Of The Desert) 1965
-El Ángel exterminador (Exterminating angel)1962

There both such good films that have so many hidden meanings. I think i also like them because I dont fully understand everything in the movie and everytime I watch it again I see something new. Exterminating angel is basically a giant metaphor , and Simon of the desert has the wierdest ending.

These are all great suggestions. I've only recently become interested in classic movies, and a bunch of these are definitely going into my Netflix queue.

I just saw 'La Piscine' with Romy Schneider and Alain Delon. What a great movie!!! I love, love, love Romy Schneider!

Oh, that is definitely a favorite! Marilyn Monroe is amazing in this movie, there was something so stunning about her.

PERFORMANCE !!!!!!! (1970) - best english film ever made, I'd say. I LOVE it! It's awesome, with a great feel of Swinging London to it, a dull, chaotic, psychadelic, dangerous, bewildering, stunning and fascinating movie starring Anita Pallenberg, James Fox and Mick Jagger.

The Birds - one of my favourite Hitchcock films!

Barbarella (1968) - well, what to say? Psychadelical to the end. starring Jane Fonda and Anita Pallenberg

Breakfast at Tiffany's, naturally.

A Degree of Murder (Germany 1967) - starring Anita Pallenberg (this film I haven't seen in it's entirety. I've only watched a few scenes, but they were great and I hope I'll get to watch the remaining scenes soon! )

Well, as I said, Performance is an absolute MUST SEE!

• a clockwork orange

Call me a prude, but that movie is one of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen

I'm reluctant to see anything by Kubrick since then.
