Favorite old flicks

Elmer Gantry

Atlantic City

Marty

 

Oooh. Marty. There we go. Have never seen it, but always hear about it 'round Oscar time. Next on my list. Good call on Flight of the Phoenix, too, though I've seen it many times. Quaid, Ribisi et al need to be shot for what they did to it in the recent remake.

Any fans of Breakfast at Tiffanys? Another I've never seen, not sure if I should.

 

for whom the bell tolls.

Anything by Hitchcock - Vertigo, Psycho, Rear Window, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Strangers on a Train, The Birds, The Wrong Man, etc. My grandparents are huge fans and I was exposed at a young age to many of his tremendous films.

 

Splendor in the Grass

Bonnie and Clyde

A couple of relatively obscure ones:

This Property is Condemned (Natalie Wood, Bronson, Redford)

Last Summer (Barbara Hershey)

 

For some reason I've always liked The Poseidon Adventure, but it is slightly post 1970.

12 Angry Men may be my all-time favorite movie and you've already mentioned it.

So I'll just add The Magnificent Seven. If for no other reason then I dig the theme music.

 

Yeah, like it, too.

Boxcar Bertha, Zabriskie Point, Omega Man.

Grapes of Wrath, Doctor Zhivago, Patton

 

Jesus, I gotta lot of films to catch.

 

As far as courtroom dramas Judgment at Nuremberg and Inherit the Wind are musts.

If you liked the cinematography of Lawrence of Arabia, check out Grand Prix - an awesome auto racing movie.

Spaghetti Western genre musts...
Sergio Leone's Man with No Name Trilogy
Django
The Great Silence

 

Destination: Tokyo
A night to remember
The One Who Got Away
The General
The Third Man
Murder, Inc.

 

I'll second the nods to The Apartment and Splendor in the Grass.
