Thanks for the tips! I'll look into those

I've downloaded some of those already, this week's gonna be so retro haha Keep 'em recommendations coming

I'll name a bunch of my favorites (not super famous stuff). If any of these especially catch your eye, ask me about them.

The Furies (Anthony Mann, 1950) -- A western about a dysfunctional family with touches of The Little Foxes to it. Barbra Stanwyck and Walter Huston are great.
Godzilla (Ishiro Honda, 1954) -- More than a monster movie with some idiot prancing around in a dinosaur suit, this is a sobering look at what large scale tragedy can do to a nation.
Bad Day at Black Rock (John Sturges, 1955) -- One of the most suspenseful movies of the decade, with Spencer Tracy killing it as the man deliberately uncovering some ugly truths.
The Court Jester (Melvin Frank/Norman Panama, 1955) -- This movie is too damn funny not to include here. Danny Kaye's finest hour, with gutbusting support from Basil Rathbone, Angela Lansbury and the comedic goddess Mildred Natwick.
The Music Room (Satjayit Ray, 1958) -- Because everyone should watch some Satjayit Ray.
Fires on the Plain (Kon Ichikawa, 1959) -- A grotesquely unnerving war film with unhealthy doses of very black comedy, focusing on Japanese soldiers left on their own in a hostile land during WW2.
The Human Condition (Masaki Kobayashi, 1959-61) -- A nine hour epic of a war film, detailing the life of one Japanese soldier. Well worth a watch if you like that sort of long, grueling epic.
Elmer Gantry (Richard Brooks, 1960) -- A savage putdown of celebrity culture following a traveling evangelist. Ugly and sordid in all the best ways.
Kapo (Gillo Pontecorvo, 1960) -- A look at what it takes to turn an innocent human being into a monster as we watch one woman put into a Nazi concentration camp and become seduced into becoming a kapo (a sort of prisoner-cum-prison guard). Remains my favorite holocaust film.
The Misfits (John Huston, 1961) -- A heartbreaker about disillusionment featuring the final (and greatest) performances of Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift.
Harakiri (Masaki Kobyashi, 1962) -- This movie is absolutely amazing and I don't want to spoil anything about it.
Ivan's Childhood (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1962) -- A devastating portrait of what war can turn children into. This could be a companion piece to Orson Scott Card's novel Ender's Game, featuring the same sort of emotional degradation as Ivan sacrifices more of himself to become a more effective solder.
Funeral in Berlin (Guy Hamilton, 1966) -- It's kinda like James Bond meets Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
Tokyo Drifter (Seijun Suzuki, 1966) -- Japanese New Wave was waaaaay cooler than the French version. This movie breathes cool.
Marat/Sade (Peter Brook, 1967) -- Exhausting and infinitely rewarding comedy of horrors that turns the French Revolution into an avant garde musical.
Kuroneko (Kaneto Shindo, 1968) -- One of those haunting horror films that doesn't scare one while watching it, but never truly leaves even years after experiencing it.
The Italian Job (Peter Collinson, 1969) -- Great fun that should be seen.
The Golden Age of Television (Criterion boxset featuring several live television plays) -- Half of these are must-sees, and even the ones I don't like offer some really interesting stuff.

Been wanting to see this! Stanley Holloway is an affable ol' chap.
