You made a movie with a great director, but a poor writer(or group of writers)
Before the movie is in the box, you can switch. Would you?

You're reading It's film time. What would you recommend as "Must See Classic Films" from the 1930s, 1940s or 1950s?

I'm just now seeing your answer. So sorry for the delay in giving you a response! What a great list. Have to comment on a few too. lol
1930s: it's pretty amazing to me to even have "classics" from the 1930s that have held up and yet look at some of those titles! Only problem I see is that your favorite "Triumph of the Will" is one I haven't seen! Thanks for the tip.
1940s: I love "The Maltese Falcon" and since I like the television series "Beauty and the Beast" (1988-1991) so much, decided to rent the French film. All b/w as you know. It was fabulous!
1950s: Cracked me up to see "Some Like It Hot". Hadn't thought of that film in a good long while. lol "Suddenly Last Summer" is a good one too.
Well - truth be told - I like a LOT of old films, but this is a great list. Thanks for taking the time to make and share it, debsmooth! :)

Aw thanks. It was fun to do. Isn't Cocteau amazing? What a stunning and moody film. Loved it. Trimph of The Will is a bit harder to enjoy. It's such spectacular photography/tchnique. It represents political propaganda raised to the level of art. Unfortunately it was propaganda for Hitler and Nazi Germany but it set a standard. The techniques used in it were much copied afterwards. Noticibly absent from the film are the ethnic cleansing ideas. Good article at wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_of_the_Will
If you have not seen The Great Dictator it's a wonderful counterpoint to Triumph Of The Will.
Now I want to rent Suddenly Last Summer. I'm in such a Tennesse Williams mood lately.
