Recomend classic movies to watch
Posted on 4/6/12 at 12:47 am
Posted on 4/6/12 at 12:47 am
So i am in a place where i can not stream anything and there is no tv. Figured its a good time to catch up on the classics. I am mostly looking for anything before 1970. Ive watched a lot of the action/adventure type movies and ive got most of the "a" list classics qued up. What are some good lesser known classics to watch? Thanks for the help.

The Odd Couple
The Odd Couple is a 1968 comedy film written by Neil Simon, based on his play The Odd Couple, directed by Gene Saks, and starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. It is the story of two divorced men – Felix Ungar, the neurotic neatfreak, and Oscar Madison, the fun-loving slob – who decide to live together, even though their personalities clash. The film was highly successful with critics and audiences, grossing over $44.5 million,[1] making it the fourth highest grossing picture of 1968. The success of the film was the basis for 114 episodes of the ABC television sitcom of the same name, starring Tony Randall as Felix and Jack Klugman as Oscar

Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid - Peckinpah western. Great.
Gunga Din - from the 30's. About British soldiers in India in the 1800's that have to fight the Thuggee cultists.
Adam's Rib - Great comedy.
Arsenic and Old Lace - another great comedy. Cary Grant.

Thanks guys. I guess i should have been more specific. We have internet but not enough bandwith to stream. We have tv's but no cable or local channels etc.
Lot of good suggestions on these lists. Ive seen a few, heard of a few others, and some will be complete surprises.
In the last week ive only watched two, but they've been quality: North by Northwest and 12 Angry Men.
Thanks for the suggestions.
