I want to broaden my horizon in this film game and what better way than to go back to where it started.
I'm very much of the new era and I think the oldest movie I have seen is Psycho. If I want to some day be an award winning writer/director I'm going to need to see the greats that made the filmmakers of our time want to be a filmmaker.
Hit me with your favourite movies pre 1960s.
Please, no horrors. Yes, I'm a little bitch and I don't get a kick out of demon children climbing out of televisions. I couldn't sleep for a week after watching that movie.
Cheers |

This one is a very good movie! I love it. Depending on what you like. If comedies and rom coms I could give you a few. My personal favorite is a comedy named Harvey (with James Stewart) There are also famous romantic comedies: How To Steal a Million (with Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole) Roman Holiday (Audrey Hepburn) |

Duck Soup (1933) Modern Times (1936)
The two funniest movies ever made. |

Casablanca (1942) and Singin' in the Rain (1952), definitely. Lots of Alfred Hitchcock - Rear Window (1954) is a personal favourite. Oh, and anything with Robert Mitchum. Lots of great film noir out there. |

Bad Day at Black Rock and Ice Cold in Alex. Two films I've come back to a lot. Great dialogue and locations. |

You had me at Marlon Brando. I'm not sure what it is about his name, but I just seem to really dig it. Haha. This is also one of my sisters favorite movies.
Quoted Text Lots of Alfred Hitchcock - Rear Window (1954) is a personal favourite. |
I have heard of this one. Do the Simpson do a rip off of it? This will be one of the first I watch. Cheers folks. I have compiled a list of 30 or so pre 1960 movies. I'm going to vedge out for the next couple of weeks and hopefully I learn something cinema. I must reap the benefits of being unemployed while I can. |

Great list, Chris! I actually have the The Great Train Robbery script somewhere if anyone is interested. Not sure where it is, but somewhere on an external drive. I haven't checked, but maybe it's readily available online too. I just remember that it is the oldest script I have! |
