Ingmar Bergman's Persona
Il Sorpasso
Two of the better older films I've watched lately.

The Thin Man series has a lot of good stuff in it.
If you are in the mood for a comedy I'd suggest the least family friendly family comedy ever made... Mr. Hobbes Takes A Vacation.
It is worth watching if only to see Jimmy Stewart refer to someone as "its a white pygmy" or "Where's that albino?" Though little can compare to a dear old grandfather addressing his grandson as "You little creep."

The Detective marked a move towards — and was billed as — a more "adult" approach to depicting the life and work of a police detective while confronting, for one of the first times in mainstream cinema, previously taboo subjects such as homosexuality.
New York City police detective Joe Leland is called to the home of a murder victim who has been beaten to death and has had his genitals removed.
1968 movie starring Sinatra that I end up watching every time it comes on tv.

I've watched every one of them. William Powell and Myrna Loy were great. And Asta, of course.

Kind of corny now, I guess, but it's still pretty funny. "Boom Pa"
And here's one you need to watch:
Laura with Dana Andrews and Gene Tierny. Directed by Otto Preminger.

Nice little noir film with a twist. And a great theme song.

That's a good one.
A really obscure Peter Sellers movie I saw on TCM on night was Never Let Go. He's a nasty piece of work in this one. Like you've never seen him before.

Yeah Laura is great.
But if you want to see Gene at her femme fatale best and in color you need to see Leave Her to Heaven

Plus I'm sure that you're a big fan of Hanoi Jane.
Klute is a great movie and she's great in it.

The Man Who Would be King rarely gets mentioned and is just great.
Breaking Away is another.

Seconded
Production values are very good - it's almost "super carrier porn" (even more so than Top Gun) - and features A list actors (particularly Kirk Douglas, still fairly fit) in what is essentially a science fiction film.

Another great series - especially the first one, but I don't know how obscure it is - William Powell and Myrna Loy would make a ton of money in the five (5) sequels.
Probably the first "mega" film franchise other than, maybe, the Marx Brothers films.
